FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the ZX 8000 series originated as a running shoe in 1989, this version is primarily intended for casual, everyday lifestyle wear.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a clean cloth with mild leather cleaner to wipe down the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

What is the Torsion bar for?

The Torsion bar is a bridge between the heel and forefoot that allows your foot to move naturally while providing added stability.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Generally, yes. However, since they are made of leather, they offer a firm fit. Ensure you select your standard UK size.

Can I use these in the rain?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe protective spray to help repel moisture.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Stiff sensation when first worn

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather and Torsion system to break in naturally.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent midfoot stability via the Torsion bar
  • Durable premium leather construction
  • Iconic retro design that stands out
  • Secure heel support from integrated TPU stabilizers

Cons

  • Leather requires specific cleaning products
  • May feel rigid during the initial break-in period
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, ensure you have the correct UK size for your specific foot shape, as the leather material provides a structured fit that does not stretch significantly. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple and pulse mint colours from fading over time. Using a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for leather can help protect them from unexpected light rain.
