FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ZX 8000 series originated as a performance runner, the 'Utility' variant is designed primarily for casual lifestyle wear and daily walking.
What is the Torsion system?
The Torsion system is a lightweight bridge in the midsole that allows the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently, providing improved surface adaptation and stability.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and weaken the adhesives used in the construction of the shoe.
Is the leather material genuine?
Yes, the Adidas ZX 8000 Utility uses high-quality leather construction for improved durability and aesthetic appeal.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they follow standard Adidas adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the structure of the leather upper.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a small amount of leather polish matching the black tone to buff out minor abrasions.
Shoes feeling stiff out of the box
Leather requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas ZX 8000 Utility trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap.
- Leather Care: Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Drying: Never place leather shoes in the dryer or near a direct heat source. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the original shape of the trainer.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit suitable for most adult foot shapes; however, ensure you verify your UK sizing (specifically 10.5 for this model) before purchase to avoid discomfort.
