FAQs
What is the main benefit of the BOOST midsole?
The BOOST midsole provides exceptional energy return and responsive cushioning, making the trainers comfortable for extended wear and activities.
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While they offer comfort and support for light jogs, the ZX 8000 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, blending retro running aesthetics with modern comfort rather than serving as a high-performance running shoe.
How much recycled content is used in the upper?
Approximately 25% of the components used to make the upper are constructed with a minimum of 50% recycled content.
How should I clean the textile uppers?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does the Torsion bar do?
The Torsion bar provides midfoot stability by allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, enhancing support and flexibility.
What UK shoe size do these trainers come in?
These trainers are available in various adult UK male sizes. Please check the available size options for the specific product listing.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The textile uppers offer some breathability but are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may not be ideal.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, the specific fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Stains on textile upper
Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any debris or mud that might be affecting grip. Ensure the shoes are fully dry after cleaning.
BOOST midsole appears discolored
Discoloration can occur over time with wear and exposure. This is often aesthetic and does not impact performance. Clean gently as per care instructions.
