FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Originals ZX RS Shoes 99 are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart available on their official website or refer to reviews from other customers regarding fit. Many find it helpful to measure their foot length and compare it to the chart.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. Please refer to the retailer's product page or contact their customer service for specific warranty details.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not suitable for wet conditions.

What is the main difference between the ZX RS series and other adidas lines?

The ZX RS series is known for its heritage-inspired design, often incorporating elements from the original ZX running shoes, blended with modern comfort and materials. They emphasize a retro-futuristic aesthetic.

How should I store my ZX RS Shoes 99 when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a shoe tree can help maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between different parts of the shoe. Try wearing them with different types of socks or applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe.

Stiffness or discomfort on first wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they soften and conform to your feet.

Laces wear out or break

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid stress on the eyelets.

Dirt or stains on the 'Core Black' material

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic and textile materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for unisex adult wear, these trainers are compatible with standard sock sizes and a wide variety of casual clothing styles.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
