adidas Gazelle Sneakers - Black - Size: 4

While inspired by 60s training shoes, the modern adidas Gazelle is best suited for casual wear and everyday activities, not high-performance sports or running. For athletic activities, we recommend specialized sports footwear designed for that purpose.

These Gazelle Sneakers are listed in UK adult sizing (UK 4). We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, you may consult an official adidas size chart to compare with your usual sizing in other brands or regions.

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather sneakers. It can damage the leather, stitching, and adhesives, potentially leading to irreparable damage. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.

The outsole of these adidas Gazelle Sneakers is made of durable rubber. This provides good traction and contributes to the overall longevity of the shoe, while the low profile cup sole design maintains its classic aesthetic.

Yes, these adidas Gazelle Sneakers feature a genuine leather upper. This contributes to their premium look, comfortable feel, and durable construction, ensuring they stand the test of time with proper care.

The Gazelle features a standard, low-profile cupsole design, which offers basic comfort for everyday wear but is not specifically engineered with advanced arch support. If you require significant arch support, you may consider using aftermarket insoles.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Thicker socks can also help during this phase to gently stretch the material.

Leather is prone to scuffs. For light marks, gently rub with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or a small amount of matching colored shoe cream can help minimize their appearance. Regular application of a leather protector can also prevent future marks.

As leather is not as breathable as some mesh materials, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage perspiration. You can also allow the shoes to air out completely between wears and use shoe deodorizers if necessary to keep them fresh.

Ensure you are tying a proper 'reef knot' (also known as a square knot) rather than a granny knot. For extra security, especially if you're active, you can double-knot the laces. Replacing worn laces can also improve their grip.
