FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
No, this particular model of adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers is noted to be small fitting. It is recommended to consider purchasing a half or full size larger than your usual UK size for the best fit.
How do I clean the suede material?
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution applied with a damp cloth can be used. Always let them air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and get damaged. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance for light dampness, but it's not fully waterproof.
What kind of traction do these trainers offer?
The trainers feature a wide rubber outsole with a shallow tread, providing good everyday traction on dry, urban surfaces. They are not designed for extreme grip on very slippery or rugged terrains.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their soft suede upper, inner padding, and secure lacing, adidas Gazelle trainers are generally considered comfortable for extended periods of casual wear and light activity.
What is the material of the upper and sole?
The upper is made from soft suede, and the outsole is constructed from durable rubber.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable, even in my usual size.
The product is noted as small fitting. If possible, exchange for a half size or full size larger. Ensure you tried them on properly before deciding on the fit.
Suede upper looks dirty or scuffed after wear.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in the direction of the suede's nap.
Suede has water spots or stains.
Allow the trainers to dry completely. For water spots, gently rub with a suede brush. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner designed for spot treatment may be used sparingly, following the product's instructions. Prevention with a protector spray is key.
Sole seems to lack grip on certain surfaces.
The Gazelle features a shallow tread, primarily designed for urban and dry surfaces. Exercise caution on very wet, icy, or extremely slippery terrain where deeper-treaded footwear would be more appropriate.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Consider trying different lacing techniques such as a 'surgeon's knot' which provides a more secure tie. Replace worn laces if they are old and slick.

Care Instructions
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers, follow these care tips:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Cleaning Suede: For general dirt and scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid saturating the suede with water, as this can cause staining and damage.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
