FAQs
How do I clean purple suede effectively?
For purple suede, use a suede brush for daily dirt, a suede eraser for scuffs, and a specialized suede cleaning kit for deeper cleaning. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry naturally.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or puddles to prevent staining and damage.
Are these true to size?
adidas Gazelle models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. If you have wider feet, you might consider going up a half size, but for UK size 6, it should be a standard fit.
What's the best way to protect the suede?
The best protection involves two steps: first, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear. Second, follow a regular cleaning routine with a suede brush and spot-clean as needed to prevent dirt buildup.
How do I restore the color if it fades?
Fading suede can sometimes be rejuvenated with a suede color restorer spray specifically designed for the color. Ensure the shoes are clean before application. For best results, consult a professional shoe care specialist.
Are these suitable for sports or athletic activities?
No, the adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons are designed for casual and lifestyle wear, not for sports or athletic performance. Their construction and suede material are not optimized for rigorous physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears flattened or matted.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Always brush in one direction.
Minor dirt marks or scuffs on the suede.
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the marks. Follow up by brushing the area to lift the nap.
Water stains on the suede.
Lightly dampen the entire affected area evenly with clean water using a spray bottle, then blot with a clean, dry cloth. Allow to air dry completely, then brush. For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.
Sneakers emit an unpleasant odor.
Remove insoles if possible and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Sprinkle baking soda inside the sneakers and leave overnight, then shake out. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove sneakers from packaging.
- Initial Inspection: Check for any manufacturing imperfections.
- First Wear: Lace up comfortably and ensure a good fit.
Compatibility
- Attire: Best paired with casual and smart-casual clothing such as jeans, chinos, shorts, and track pants.
- Accessories: Complements outfits featuring subtle sporty elements or vintage-inspired pieces.
Care: Crucial for suede materials.
- Immediate Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains. Follow product instructions carefully.
- Regular Brushing: Use a suede brush (often a two-sided brush with wire and rubber bristles) to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction to maintain consistency.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the scuff or mark, then brush. For stubborn spots, a soft, damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner can be blotted gently; avoid harsh rubbing.
- Deep Cleaning: For significant stains or overall cleaning, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Machine washing, harsh chemical cleaners, vigorous scrubbing, or direct heat for drying.
