FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Torsion support, these are designed as lifestyle and casual trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning and a specialized leather cleanser for deep dirt. Avoid machine washing.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Leather will soften and mold slightly to the shape of your foot with regular wear, providing a more custom fit over time.
Are they waterproof?
While leather provides more protection than mesh, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
What is the primary benefit of the Torsion system?
The Torsion system allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing superior stability and adaptation to uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Leather appearing dull or scuffed
Use a matching leather cream or polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the natural luster of the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas ZX 8000 Utility trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the leather upper may have less 'give' than synthetic fabrics initially.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent scuffing.
