FAQs
Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, while they originated from indoor sports, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor is now primarily a lifestyle shoe. It lacks the advanced cushioning, support, and specialized design features required for modern running, gym workouts, or high-performance athletic activities.
How do I determine my size?
Adidas Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for adults. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. This specific variant is UK 7.
What is a gum rubber outsole?
A gum rubber outsole is made from natural rubber, known for its distinctive translucent, brownish color and excellent grip, especially on indoor surfaces. It's durable, flexible, and contributes to the iconic retro look of the Gazelle Indoor.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain and damage suede. If caught in light drizzle, ensure you clean and dry them properly immediately afterwards, using newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
These Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers feature a soft suede upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a durable gum rubber outsole.
Are there other color options available?
The Adidas Gazelle Indoor comes in a variety of colors. Please check the product page or other listings for available variants to find different colorways beyond this Red (Better Scarlet/Cream White) option.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, employ a suede eraser and a suede cleaning solution following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather lining and suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Ensure your laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.
Color transfer from the red suede onto socks or lighter clothing
This can occur with new suede, especially vibrant colors like red. Consider wearing darker socks initially. A suede protector spray can help mitigate this, but it's best to avoid wearing them with very light-colored, easily stainable garments until they are fully broken in and any excess dye has settled.
Gum rubber outsole looks dirty or loses grip
Clean the outsole regularly with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Scrub gently with a soft brush if necessary to remove embedded dirt. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing again to maximize grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your suede and leather Gazelles:
- Suede Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush off particles in one direction. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. *Avoid water and harsh chemicals as they can damage suede.*
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
- Leather Lining: Wipe the interior leather lining with a slightly damp cloth if needed, then allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure all soap residue is wiped away.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
