FAQs

Are these shoes true to size for kids?

Generally, adidas Originals Gazelle PS shoes fit true to size. However, children's feet grow quickly. It's always best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the official adidas size chart to ensure the most accurate fit. This specific model is UK size 11.

Can these shoes be worn for sports or intense physical activities?

These Gazelle PS shoes are designed for everyday casual wear and light play. While durable, they are not specialized performance sports shoes for high-impact activities like competitive running or sports that require specific athletic support. They are best suited for school, playgrounds, and casual adventures.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

To protect the pigskin suede, we recommend applying a specialized suede protector spray before the first wear. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions. This creates a barrier against water and stains, though it does not make them fully waterproof.

What is the OrthoLite sockliner and what are its benefits?

The OrthoLite sockliner is an advanced insole technology that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It helps keep feet comfortable and dry by preventing sweat and odor buildup, contributing to overall foot health and comfort for active kids.

Is the sole non-marking?

The gum rubber outsole on the adidas Originals Gazelle PS is typically designed to be non-marking, making these shoes suitable for indoor use in places like gymnasiums or schools where marking floors is a concern. The gum color also tends to be less prone to leaving noticeable marks.

How do I keep the pink color vibrant?

To keep the 'Clear Pink' vibrant, minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Regular cleaning with a suede brush and appropriate suede cleaner will also prevent dirt buildup that can dull the color. Use a suede protector spray for added color preservation.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty or stained quickly.

Due to the light-colored pigskin suede, regular light cleaning is recommended. Use a soft suede brush daily to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner carefully.

Laces frequently come undone during play.

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material or texture that holds knots better, or teaching your child a more robust lacing technique.

Shoes feel too tight or loose after purchase.

First, check the sock thickness. If still an issue, compare the shoe's UK size 11 to your child's current foot measurement. Kids' feet grow rapidly, so re-measuring their foot size and consulting an adidas size chart is recommended.

Suede feels stiff or looks matted after cleaning.

After cleaning and drying, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap and softness. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using excessive water, which can stiffen the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless Style: Offers a classic 70s look that remains fashionable and easy to pair with various outfits.
  • Comfort-Focused: The OrthoLite sockliner and soft suede upper provide excellent comfort for extended wear.
  • Durable Construction: Built with quality materials and a robust rubber outsole suitable for active children.
  • Authentic Details: Features iconic adidas branding that adds a touch of heritage and recognition.
  • Versatile for Kids: Designed for daily adventures, suitable for school, casual outings, and light play.

Cons

  • Suede Care Required: The pigskin suede material needs specific cleaning and care to prevent stains and maintain its look, potentially challenging for young children's shoes.
  • Light Color: The 'Clear Pink' color may show dirt and scuffs more easily, necessitating more frequent cleaning.
  • Limited Weather Protection: Suede is generally not waterproof and may not be ideal for wet or muddy conditions without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your adidas Originals Gazelle PS shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. For a secure fit, teach your child to tie a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play. Adjust tension for comfort without being too tight.
  2. Initial Fit Check: Have your child wear socks they'd typically use with these shoes. Check for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the shoe's front.

Compatibility

These Gazelle PS shoes are unisex and designed for younger kids, making them a versatile choice for any child. Their classic aesthetic pairs well with a wide range of casual clothing, from jeans and shorts to skirts and dresses, making them a staple for everyday wear.

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your pigskin suede Gazelle PS shoes:

  • General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently brush the suede with a soft suede brush (or a clean, dry toothbrush) to remove loose particles. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
  • Spot Cleaning (Suede): For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. Apply sparingly to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Avoid soaking the suede.
  • Sole Cleaning: The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
  • Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the suede.
  • Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter, to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
