FAQs
Are the adidas Originals ZX 750 suitable for running?
While the original ZX series was designed for runners, the modern ZX 750 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It's best suited for casual wear, walking, and everyday comfort rather than high-performance running.
How do I determine the correct size for ZX 750?
The adidas ZX 750 typically runs true to size. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size. If you're unsure, consult adidas' official sizing chart, or measure your foot and compare it to their guidelines.
What materials are used in the construction of the ZX 750?
Info needed: [The ZX 750 typically features a combination of synthetic overlays, suede, and mesh on the upper, with a rubber outsole and an EVA midsole for cushioning.]
Can I machine wash my adidas ZX 750 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for the adidas ZX 750. The harsh detergents, agitation, and heat can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always hand-clean with appropriate sneaker cleaning products.
How can I prevent my sneakers from smelling?
To prevent odors, allow your sneakers to air out after each wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or place a sachet of baking soda inside when not in use. Wearing moisture-wicking socks also helps.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ZX 750 provides standard cushioning and moderate arch support suitable for everyday wear. For individuals requiring specific orthotic support, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for custom inserts.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound while walking
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing the insole, applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch to the shoe bed, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Verify you have the correct UK size (e.g., UK 9.5). Adjust lace tension for a more customized fit. Consider the thickness of your socks; thinner or thicker socks can impact fit. If persistent, consult an adidas sizing guide or try a different size.
Persistent dirt marks or scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit that includes brushes for different materials (mesh, suede). Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser; for mesh/synthetic, a soft brush and mild soap solution.
Fading color or material wear
This is normal over extended periods of use. To slow it down, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean regularly to prevent dirt buildup that can abrade materials. Using protective sprays for suede/nubuck can also help.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your ZX 750s:
- Cleaning:
- For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials (e.g., suede, mesh, synthetics). Apply sparingly with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth.
- Avoid machine washing, as it can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause shrinkage or damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda in a cloth pouch can help absorb moisture and smells.
