Adidas Gazelle Indoor - Green - UK 7.5

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It's a global multi-stakeholder community that assesses and certifies leather manufacturers based on their environmental performance, including water and energy usage, waste management, and chemical handling. Shoes with LWG-certified leather indicate a commitment to more sustainable and responsible leather production.

While the Gazelle was originally a training shoe in the 1960s, the current Gazelle Indoor models are designed for everyday casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for modern running or performance sports.

Before your first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck. Always follow the product's instructions and allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing.

You can clean the gum rubber outsole using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized shoe sole cleaner. Gently scrub the surface to remove dirt and grime, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Generally, Adidas Gazelle models, including the Indoor, tend to fit true to size for most people. However, fit can vary slightly depending on individual foot shape. If you are unsure, it is often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to Adidas footwear.

The T-toe overlay is a classic design element found on many Adidas heritage sneakers, including the Gazelle. It's a suede or leather reinforcement piece over the toe box that forms a 'T' shape, adding durability and contributing to the shoe's iconic aesthetic.

No, machine washing is strongly discouraged for suede and leather sneakers like the Gazelle Indoor. The materials can be damaged, shrink, or lose their color and shape. Always follow manual cleaning methods as outlined in the care section.

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently rub away surface dirt and revive the nap. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner following its instructions.

Clean the sole with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn discoloration, specialized sole cleaners formulated for rubber might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Consider replacing the original insoles with aftermarket inserts that offer more cushioning or arch support tailored to your needs. Ensure the shoes are kept clean to maintain material integrity.
