Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply unlace, slide your foot in, and lace up to your desired tightness. For optimal comfort, ensure your socks are appropriate for the shoe's fit.
Compatibility
The Gazelle Indoor's classic silhouette and vibrant color make it highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Pair them with:
- Jeans: Works well with slim-fit or straight-leg jeans for a timeless look.
- Chinos: Elevates a smart-casual outfit.
- Shorts: Perfect for a relaxed, summer vibe.
- Dresses/Skirts: Can add a sporty, retro edge to more feminine outfits.
Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the `Better Scarlet` suede upper and the overall longevity of your trainers.
- Suede Cleaning: For dry dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off particles. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these can damage the suede and gum sole.
