FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the Gazelle line originated as a training shoe, the Gazelle Indoor is now primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. They are comfortable for daily wear and light activity but are not recommended for high-performance sports or intense workouts.
How do I best protect the suede material?
To protect the suede, it is highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before first wear. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if exposed to wet conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
What makes the 'Indoor' Gazelle different from the standard Gazelle?
The primary distinguishing feature of the Gazelle Indoor is its unique transparent rubber gum outsole, which contrasts with the traditional white sole of the standard Gazelle. The 'Indoor' designation refers to its original purpose as a training shoe for indoor sports.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size. For this specific model, it is UK size 7. If you are unsure, it's often best to try them on or consult adidas's official size guide.
Can I clean the snakeskin overlays?
The snakeskin overlays are delicate. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust or dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the texture or finish of the overlay.
What materials are these shoes made from?
These adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor Shoes feature a premium suede upper with synthetic snakeskin overlays and a distinctive transparent Indoor rubber gum outsole. The interior typically includes a synthetic or textile lining for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, apply a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are properly adjusted; try re-lacing them for a more customized fit. If they are new, allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, verify the size is correct for your foot.
Sole has reduced grip or looks dull.
Clean the Indoor rubber gum outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
