FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede upper is absorbent. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and to use a suede protector spray.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Do not put Gazelle trainers in the washing machine, as the heat and water can ruin the suede and the shoe structure.
How do I find my size?
The Gazelles generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to try the larger size or refer to your existing adidas sizing for consistency.
What is the primary material used?
The exterior upper is made of soft suede, complemented by a textile interior lining and a durable rubber outsole.
Can these be used for running?
No, these are fashion trainers intended for casual wear and are not designed with the technical support or cushioning required for running.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the material in one direction to restore the nap.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with mild soapy water to wipe the rubber edges, ensuring you keep the water away from the suede upper.
Tight fit around the instep
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry; the suede will naturally soften and mold to your foot shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede-specific protector spray before the first wear to guard against dust and light spills.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the texture of the material after use.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. Avoid using water or household soaps, as these can permanently stain or harden the leather.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Stuffing them with tissue paper can help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard UK adult sizing. If you prefer a thicker sock, ensure you have verified your fit before long walks.
