FAQs

Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers true to size?

Most users find the Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers fit true to size, offering a regular fit. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If unsure, we recommend trying them on or consulting a sizing guide.

Can I wear these sneakers for running or other sports?

While the Gazelle has roots as a training shoe, the modern Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance running, intense athletic training, or sports that require specialized footwear due to its construction and cushioning.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

To protect the suede, it's highly recommended to apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck materials. Apply it according to the product's instructions before your first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions.

What does 'LWG certified leather' mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used in these sneakers comes from tanneries that have been audited and rated for their environmental performance. This means the leather is sourced and produced in a more environmentally responsible way, focusing on factors like energy use, water consumption, and waste management.

Is the sole slippery on certain surfaces?

The translucent gum rubber outsole is designed to provide good traction on most dry, indoor, and urban surfaces. Like any shoe, performance on very wet, oily, or icy surfaces may be reduced. Regularly cleaning the sole can help maintain its grip.

What's the difference between the Gazelle Indoor and the standard Gazelle?

The key distinguishing feature of the Gazelle Indoor is its translucent gum rubber outsole that wraps up the side of the shoe, reflecting its original indoor training heritage. The standard Gazelle typically features a solid, less translucent rubber outsole and may have slight variations in proportions or materials.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or flattened.

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Brush in small, consistent strokes.

My suede sneakers have a visible stain.

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning may be necessary.

Shoes feel a bit snug.

The suede upper may require a brief break-in period for optimal comfort. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying different sock thicknesses.

The gum sole looks dirty or discolored.

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for midsoles and outsoles. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the look and longevity of your suede Gazelle Indoor sneakers:

  1. Cleaning Suede: For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Brush in one direction. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
  2. Stain Removal: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  3. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Washing Machine: Never put suede sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the material and structure.
