Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the pristine appearance and longevity of your velvet and suede Gazelle Indoor shoes.
- Velvet Upper: Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristle shoe brush (e.g., a horsehair brush) to remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For stains, use a specialist velvet cleaner, dabbing lightly with a clean cloth without rubbing vigorously. Avoid harsh scrubbing or getting the velvet excessively wet.
- Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to lift dirt, scuffs, and restore the nap. Apply a protective suede spray *before* the first wear to guard against water and stains. Always allow the spray to dry completely.
- Rubber Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the rubber.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate washing if they become soiled. Hand wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can cause material damage or fading.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
