FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle OG is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer, not for high-impact athletic performance.
How do I clean the white 3-stripes?
The signature stripes can be wiped down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
Do these fit true to size?
Generally, the Gazelle series fits true to size. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size increase.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended not to wash suede shoes in a machine, as it can ruin the material and shape of the shoe.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from premium suede leather.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently brush in one direction to lift and clean the material.
Foot feels slightly loose
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied firmly to adjust the tension across the midfoot.
Water spots on suede
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle OG trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dust and dirt particles after every few wears.
- Stain Removal: For minor marks, use a suede eraser rather than water, which can damage the nap.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue color from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, denim, or chinos, fitting well into most smart-casual wardrobes.
