FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a casual fashion sneaker. While comfortable for everyday wear, it is not built for high-performance sports like running or intense training.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regularly brush the suede with a soft suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray before first use and reapply periodically. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always allowing shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'Leather Working Group' mean?
The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a global multi-stakeholder community that promotes sustainable business practices within the leather industry. When leather is sourced through the LWG, it indicates a commitment to environmentally responsible tanning processes.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is susceptible to water damage. It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry completely and then brush to restore the nap.
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor features a `regular fit`. Most users find them to be true to their standard adidas sizing. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size chart for foot measurements is recommended.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from `gum rubber`, which gives it its distinctive translucent appearance and provides good grip for everyday wear.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede sneakers. It can damage the material, alter the shoe's shape, and fade colors. Always follow manual cleaning methods as described in the care section.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a consistent direction to lift the fibers and bring back the original texture.
Water spots or light stains on the suede.
Allow the shoes to dry completely. For water spots, gently rub with a clean, dry cloth. For light stains, use a suede eraser, then brush the area. For more stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, following product instructions carefully.
Gum sole looking dirty or losing its translucent quality.
Clean the gum sole with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a cloth to scrub the sole gently. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Getting started with your Gazelle Indoor sneakers is as simple as lacing them up. Their `lace closure` allows for a customizable and secure fit. They are highly compatible with a wide range of casual wardrobes, from denim to tracksuits. For care, suede is a delicate material that requires specific attention:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush away debris in one direction. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, do not rub. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Gum Sole Care: The `gum rubber outsole` can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuff marks and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Moisture: Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede can be easily damaged by water.
