FAQs

How do I determine my size?

The Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific adidas sizing charts or trying them on.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While they can withstand light moisture, the suede upper is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the material and may lead to staining or loss of texture. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray and avoid heavy rain.

What materials are used in these shoes?

These shoes feature a smooth suede leather upper, a translucent gum rubber outsole, and a textile lining. The leather used is partially sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG) certified tanneries, indicating responsible practices.

How should I clean the translucent gum sole?

The gum sole can be cleaned using warm water mixed with a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub the sole to remove dirt, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes are designed as lifestyle and casual wear sneakers. They are not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports. For such activities, please refer to adidas' dedicated performance footwear lines.

Do the gold foil accents fade over time?

With regular wear and proper care, the gold foil accents are designed to be durable. However, abrasive cleaning or excessive rubbing in those areas might cause premature wear. Always clean gently around these details.

Is the product packaging environmentally friendly?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted

Gently brush the suede in one direction with a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and texture.

Water spots or light stains on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp clean cloth to gently rub the affected area. For stubborn spots, a professional suede cleaner may be required.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are threaded evenly and tightened or loosened to achieve your preferred comfortable fit. Consider trying different lacing techniques.

Sole losing its grip

Clean the rubber outsole with warm soapy water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris, which can affect traction.

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets for a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust tension to your preference.
  3. First Wear: Try them on indoors to confirm fit and comfort before wearing them outside.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: Suitable for all genders, offering a versatile style.
  • Outfit Matching: Pairs well with a wide range of casual attire, including denim, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear. Its classic blue color with white stripes provides a timeless aesthetic that complements various palettes.

Care

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • Light Dirt/Dust: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
  • Stains: For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, a suede eraser can be used. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary (always test in an inconspicuous area first).
  1. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
  3. Leather Working Group (LWG) Certified Leather: The use of LWG-certified leather indicates responsible manufacturing processes. Proper care will help prolong the life of these materials.
