No, the adidas Gazelle Shadow Brown trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They do not provide the necessary support or cushioning for running or other high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. It's best to avoid water as much as possible to prevent discoloration.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For stubborn stains, test a cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede wet.
Laces are dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or replace them if heavily soiled.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the sole is clean. If the slipperiness persists, the tread may be worn down, indicating it's time for a replacement.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The suede and leather will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.
