FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While inspired by sports heritage and featuring a grippy sole, the Gazelle Indoor are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They are not intended as high-performance athletic shoes for intense sports.
How do I clean mud off the suede?
Allow the mud to dry completely first. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently remove as much as possible. For remaining stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water on suede.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor often features a gum sole and is typically designed with a slimmer profile, closer to the original terrace styles. The standard Gazelle might have variations in sole construction and materials.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as they can easily stain and become damaged. Using a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance, but they are best kept dry.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a little room at the front, and your heel should not slip excessively when walking.
What does 'Olympic Black' refer to?
'Olympic Black' likely refers to a specific colorway and edition of the Gazelle Indoor model, possibly released around an Olympic period or featuring design elements associated with classic athletic aesthetics, distinguished by its black suede and white detailing.
Is the suede material genuine?
Yes, the product description specifies that the upper is made of high-quality suede, indicating genuine suede material.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Always brush in one direction for best results.
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the suede to stretch slightly. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions initially.
White stripes show scuff marks
Gently clean the white stripes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surrounding suede.
Honey-toned sole appears discolored
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. If discoloration is significant, it may be due to natural wear or exposure to certain substances; avoid prolonged contact with staining agents.
