FAQs

Are the adidas ZX 8000 suitable for running?

While the ZX 8000 has roots in running technology, it's best suited for casual wear and light activities. For intense running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How much recycled content is used in the upper?

Approximately 25% of the components used to make the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

What does the Torsion bar technology do?

The Torsion bar is integrated into the midsole to increase rotary resistance between the heel and forefoot, providing enhanced stability and support.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry naturally.

What is the primary benefit of the heel cage?

The TPU heel cage provides structural support and stability to the heel, helping to secure the foot within the shoe.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially those with suede and mesh components, as it can damage the materials and the shoe's structure. Hand-cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the intended use for the 'Powder Yellow' rubber outsole?

The 'Powder Yellow' rubber outsole is designed to offer trail-inspired grip and durability, suitable for various urban and light outdoor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and wear them around the house to break them in. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking a half-size larger.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner according to product instructions.

Soles are slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For persistent slipperiness on certain surfaces, consider a professional shoe repairer for grip-enhancing treatments.

Discoloration on mesh or suede

Avoid exposing the trainers to prolonged direct sunlight. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for each material type.
