- Adjust Fit: Loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten them to a comfortable, snug fit, not too tight.

These sneakers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual attire.
- Casual: Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, hoodies, casual dresses.
- Smart-Casual: Chinos, slacks, button-down shirts, polo shirts, casual blazers.
They are an excellent choice for adding a touch of retro sophistication to almost any relaxed outfit.
Care
Maintaining the suede upper is key to preserving the look of your Gazelle Indoor Sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a *suede protector spray* before the first wear to repel water and stains.
- Routine Cleaning:
- For dry dirt and scuffs: Use a *suede brush* (a brush with soft brass bristles) to gently brush off dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction.
- For stubborn spots: Use a *suede eraser* to lightly rub away marks.
- Wet Stains: If the suede gets wet, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
