FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Generally, adidas ZX 750 trainers are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly for individuals. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult an adidas size guide.

Can I wear these for running?

While the ZX 750 originated from adidas's running series, it is now designed primarily for comfort and casual daily wear. For serious running or high-performance sports, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede on these trainers?

For cleaning suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first and avoid saturating the suede with water.

What does EVA cushioning mean?

EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate, which is a lightweight, foam-like material used in the midsole of the trainers. It provides excellent cushioning, shock absorption, and flexibility, contributing to overall comfort.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

Due to the suede material, these trainers are not ideal for wet weather. Suede can be easily damaged by water. If worn in light rain, ensure they are dried properly afterwards. Applying a water-resistant spray can offer some protection.

What is the adidas ZX series?

The ZX series was an innovative line of running shoes introduced by adidas in 1984. Each model was designed with specific runner needs in mind, focusing on cushioning, stability, and support. The ZX 750 is a classic reinterpretation of this iconic series.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a soft suede brush to gently brush away surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution, following product instructions carefully.

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly off, adjust the lacing. For persistent discomfort, consider trying a different size or insole.

Soles lack grip on certain surfaces.

Check the tread for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or small stones that might be impacting grip. If the tread is worn smooth, the trainers may need replacing.

Unpleasant odor from trainers.

Allow trainers to air out after each use. Remove insoles occasionally for better ventilation. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.

Scuffs or marks on synthetic/mesh parts.

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your adidas ZX 750 trainers, particularly the suede elements:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile materials before first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled suede brush. For mesh and synthetic parts, wipe with a damp cloth.
  3. Spot Cleaning Suede: For stubborn marks on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the suede and adhesives.
  5. Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
