FAQs
What is the 'Faded Archive' collection inspired by?
The 'Faded Archive' collection draws inspiration from the classic Adidas designs and styles of the 1960s and 1970s.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While comfortable, they do not offer the specialized support or features required for intensive athletic activities.
How should I clean the green leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be applied sparingly with a soft cloth, followed by air drying.
What does the UK 11 sizing refer to?
UK 11 refers to the standard United Kingdom men's shoe sizing. It is important to confirm fit as sizing can vary slightly.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider using a leather protector spray for added resistance.
What are the white accents on the shoe?
The white accents typically refer to the iconic Adidas 3-Stripes on the side of the shoe and often the heel tab or branding elements, providing a classic contrast to the main color.
Is the fit true to size?
Generally, Adidas Gazelles fit true to size for most people. However, personal preference for snugness or room can vary. It's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. If persistent, consider trying a half-size up or down, or using insoles for a tighter fit.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult professional shoe care advice.
Sole feels stiff initially
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Flexing the sole gently by hand can also help.
