adidas Originals Gazelle PS - Pink - Leather - 11

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
