FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ZX 8000 has roots in athletic performance, this model is primarily marketed as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday use.
Do I need to break them in?
Like most high-quality trainers, you may find they become more comfortable after a few days of wear as the materials contour to your feet.
How do I choose the right size?
The ZX 8000 typically fits true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We strongly advise against machine washing, as the water and agitation can damage the adhesive and material finish. Hand cleaning is recommended.
What materials are used in the construction?
The construction features a mix of durable synthetic materials and leather, depending on the specific model variant.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface scuffs on leather
Gently rub the area with a specialist leather conditioner or a damp soft cloth to buff out minor marks.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove laces and soak them in warm soapy water, then air dry; replace with standard flat athletic laces if fraying persists.
Creasing in the toe box
Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ZX 8000 trainers stay in optimal condition, begin by applying a protective water-repellent spray suitable for leather and synthetic fabrics before the first wear. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris. For deeper cleaning on the leather sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could strip the colour. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking or warping. Check the size guide carefully, as the ZX 8000 series fits true to standard adult sizing.
