FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the Gazelle Indoor originally served as an indoor sports shoe in the '70s, this modern iteration is primarily designed for casual wear and streetwear. It offers comfort and style for daily use rather than high-performance athletic activities.
What is the 'Eqt Orange' color?
'Eqt Orange' refers to a specific, vibrant shade of orange, often associated with adidas's 'Equipment' line aesthetics. It provides a distinctive, seasonally appropriate color highlight to the classic Gazelle Indoor design.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to size. For the most accurate fit, it is recommended to consult the adidas size guide and measure your foot. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The leather and suede materials, especially on the T-toe and overlays, are not highly water-resistant. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining to the materials. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection.
What is the significance of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is a signature feature of the Gazelle Indoor, directly referencing its origins as a football shoe designed for indoor courts. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it provides excellent grip and durability.
How do I protect the suede parts?
To protect the suede, it's advisable to use a dedicated suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. For cleaning, use a suede brush and a specialized suede cleaner to gently remove dirt and stains without damaging the texture.
Troubleshooting
Leather or suede appears dull or stained
For leather, use a reputable leather conditioner or cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush to lift dirt and restore texture, followed by a suede cleaning solution for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather and suede materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Gum rubber outsole shows scuff marks
Most light scuffs on the gum outsole can be removed with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For more stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles can be effective.
Odor develops inside the shoes
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry after wear.
