FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they follow standard adult sizing conventions. It is recommended to purchase your usual adidas size.

Can these be worn outside?

Yes, they are designed for casual wear including outdoor walking on paved streets, though they perform best on flat surfaces.

Is the leather water-resistant?

While leather has natural resistance, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather-safe water repellent spray if wearing them in light rain.

How do I clean the sole?

Use a soft brush with mild soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Does this model come with extra laces?

Check the original packaging box; most Gazelle models include a secondary set of laces.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing scuffs

Use a leather cleaner and a matching cream polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Laces slipping during wear

Use a double-knot technique or ensure the laces are pulled evenly across all eyelets to distribute tension.

Creasing at the toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the original shape.
