FAQs

Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, while inspired by a training shoe, the Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style rather than high-performance running or sports activities.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps create a barrier against water and common stains.

What does the 'Leather Working Group' (LWG) certification mean?

The LWG is a multi-stakeholder group that assesses the environmental performance of tanneries. Materials sourced through LWG indicate a commitment to more sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

It is generally advised to avoid wearing suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush the suede gently.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor generally offers a regular fit. Most customers find their standard Adidas size to be appropriate. However, personal fit preferences may vary.

What is the primary difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor typically features a translucent gum sole, often designed with specific indoor sport characteristics in mind (though now a style cue), and sometimes has slightly different material applications compared to the standard Gazelle model's solid rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning kit following its specific instructions. Avoid scrubbing vigorously or using water directly on the stain.

Suede feels stiff or looks matted.

After cleaning or exposure to moisture, use a suede brush to restore the nap and softness of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Sneakers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size (e.g., UK 8.5). Lacing can be adjusted for a more customized fit. If persistent, consider sizing up or down based on your typical fit preferences for Adidas footwear.

Lack of grip on certain outdoor surfaces.

These sneakers feature a translucent gum sole primarily designed for indoor comfort and grip. While suitable for general outdoor wear, they may not offer optimal traction in wet or slippery outdoor conditions compared to performance-oriented outsoles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic and timeless design suitable for various casual outfits
  • Comfortable fit for everyday wear due to premium materials
  • Authentic retro details and classic Adidas styling
  • Durable gum rubber outsole designed for good grip
  • Sustainably sourced suede via the Leather Working Group

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care and is susceptible to stains and water damage
  • Primarily designed for casual wear; not ideal for strenuous athletic activities

Setting up your Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers is as simple as lacing them up to your preferred tightness. These sneakers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, from denim to more tailored smart-casual ensembles. To ensure longevity and maintain their pristine appearance, special care is needed for the suede upper. Regularly brush off dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the material. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. The use of suede protectant sprays can help repel water and stains, offering an extra layer of defense for your footwear. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
