Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gazelle trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid excessive water.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): If any part of the shoe includes suede or nubuck, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Treat stains with a suede cleaner.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially before wearing them in adverse weather.
