FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor shoes are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe, rooted in indoor training heritage. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals. Always allow suede to air dry if it gets wet.

What does 'LWG leather' mean?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It is a non-profit organization responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry. Using LWG-certified leather means the leather was sourced from tanneries with environmentally responsible practices.

Is the sizing true to standard UK shoe sizes?

Yes, the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to standard adidas UK sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual shoe size.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the shoes are durable, suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What is the sole of the Gazelle Indoor made from?

The shoe features a unique translucent gum rubber outsole, characteristic of the original indoor training design, providing both distinctive style and traction.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in consistent, short strokes in one direction.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. New leather and synthetic uppers may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Soles become slippery

The translucent gum sole is designed for indoor traction. If it becomes slippery, clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing grip.

Light scuffs or marks on suede

Gently rub the scuff with a suede eraser. For stubborn marks, a small amount of white vinegar dabbed onto a clean cloth can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
