FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports or running?
No, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneaker is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and style, not for athletic performance, running, or intensive sports.
How do I clean the suede upper?
For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a reputable suede cleaner product and follow its specific instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as suede is highly susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a water-resistant spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the material composition of these shoes?
The upper is made of suede with snakeskin overlays, the lining is leather, and the sole is rubber.
How can I protect the snakeskin overlays?
The snakeskin overlays are delicate. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing. A soft, slightly damp cloth is best for cleaning. Applying a universal leather protector may offer some benefits, but always test it first.
Is the sizing true to size?
Adidas sizing generally runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. We recommend referring to Adidas's official size guide for precise measurements or trying them on if possible.
What is the gum rubber outsole feature?
The signature Indoor gum rubber outsole is a flat, non-marking sole that provides good grip and is a distinctive retro design element, offering a unique aesthetic compared to the original Gazelle's white sole.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner strictly following the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing aggressively.
Snakeskin overlays look dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the overlays with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or harsh brushes, as these can damage the delicate texture.
Gum rubber outsole shows scuffs or discoloration.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or checking your foot measurements against Adidas's size guide.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees, which help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Care

- Protection: Apply a suede and leather protector spray before initial wear to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Moisture: Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Snakeskin Overlays: Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the texture.
- Outsole: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain its appearance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
