adidas ZX 8000 Trainers - White - Blue - Size 9.5

The ZX 8000 combines iconic 80s running shoe design with modern comfort technologies like the BOOST midsole and Torsion bar, plus features sustainable recycled materials in the upper.

While the BOOST midsole offers excellent cushioning, these trainers are best suited for casual wear, daily activities, and light running rather than dedicated long-distance performance running.

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel counter fits snugly without slipping.

The Torsion bar is embedded in the midsole to provide stability and support to the midfoot, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently for better control and a smoother transition.

At least 25% of the components used to make the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear with appropriate socks and allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt.

The BOOST midsole is designed for long-lasting performance. Ensure the shoes are clean, as excessive dirt can sometimes affect the feel. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Examine your gait. If uneven wear persists, it may indicate a need for professional gait analysis or adjustment of running/walking form.
