FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized indoor court trainers designed for agility and lateral movement, not for the linear, high-impact nature of distance running.
How should I clean the white upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted in water, but do not submerge or machine wash the shoes.
Do I need to break these in?
While comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to wear them for shorter training sessions initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Can I use these on concrete or asphalt?
It is not recommended, as the outsole rubber is formulated specifically for indoor court grip and will wear down rapidly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
What is the primary benefit of the Wave technology?
It provides a balance of cushioning and stability, helping to disperse impact energy during jumps and landings to support joint health.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped initially
Ensure laces are loosened properly before entry; the materials are designed to mold to your foot shape over the first few uses.
Reduced traction on the court
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth to restore the natural grip of the rubber.
Visible scuffs on the white exterior
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to gently spot-clean surface marks, avoiding harsh chemicals that may discolor the synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing your performance sports socks when trying on the trainers to gauge proper volume and width. These shoes are designed for standard adult foot profiles. To care for your Z8 trainers, wipe the upper down with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust and sweat. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesive bonds and cushioning materials. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape and material integrity.
