FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running.
How should I store my Gazelle Indoor trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain, as water can damage the material and cause discoloration. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried properly as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor typically features a more robust, often gum or translucent rubber sole designed for indoor court use, while the classic Gazelle might have a flatter, more traditional gum sole suitable for general casual wear.
How do I clean the translucent rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the sole clean. For tougher marks, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
Are the Adidas 3-Stripes made of real leather?
Yes, the product description specifies that the iconic 3-Stripes are made of leather, contrasting with the suede upper.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction or in gentle circular motions.
Translucent sole is scuffed or marked
Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface marks. For more persistent scuffs, try a rubber eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
This is common with new suede footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to break them in. The suede will naturally soften with wear.
