FAQs
Are the ZX 8000 trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the ZX 8000 features retro running design elements and cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual comfort rather than specialized marathon performance. For competitive running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger.
Can I wash the ZX 8000 trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ZX 8000 trainers. The materials, especially suede and mesh, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat. Hand cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does 'Torsion technology' do?
Torsion technology is an arch support system that allows the front and rear of the shoe to move independently. This provides stability and a more natural feel during movement, preventing excessive twisting of the foot.
How much recycled content is in these trainers?
The ZX 8000 trainers incorporate 25% of the components used to make the upper with a minimum of 50% recycled content.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store your ZX 8000 trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the ZX 8000 model is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry, or a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Laces wearing out quickly
Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight. Consider replacing them with more durable lace alternatives if frequent use causes wear.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wearing appropriate socks can also prevent rubbing. For new shoes, allow a short break-in period.
Color transfer from suede
Suede can sometimes transfer color, especially when wet. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain and protect them with a suede protector spray. If transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area gently.

Care: To maintain the condition of your ZX 8000 trainers:
