FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
No, the Adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. While comfortable, they do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or traction required for athletic performance or running.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers generally have a regular fit and are considered true to size. We recommend trying them on or consulting the official adidas size guide for the most accurate fit. Our specific product is a UK 13.
What does 'Indoor' mean in the product name?
The 'Indoor' designation refers to the original Gazelle design's roots as a shoe for indoor training. This heritage influences features like the translucent gum sole, which was optimized for comfort and grip on indoor courts, but is now a key part of its iconic style.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While they can withstand light exposure, the leather and synthetic upper materials are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's longevity. For wet conditions, consider waterproof footwear.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper features a combination of leather and synthetic materials, including comfy nubuck leather, providing a premium feel and classic aesthetic.
How often should I clean my trainers?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For optimal appearance and longevity, wipe them down after each wear to remove dust and light dirt, and perform a deeper clean as needed when visible stains or grime accumulate.
Troubleshooting
Stains on the leather or nubuck upper
Immediately blot liquid stains with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt or dried stains, use a specialized leather or nubuck cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. A soft-bristled brush can help with nubuck.
Trainer feels uncomfortable or rubs
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable tension; try different lacing patterns if needed. Wear appropriate socks.
Sole feels slippery in certain conditions
The translucent gum sole is designed for indoor comfort and casual outdoor use. Avoid wearing them on extremely wet, icy, or oily surfaces where specialized traction is required. These are not performance-athletic shoes.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For leather and nubuck areas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized leather or nubuck cleaner with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. The translucent gum sole can be delicate, so avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Never put trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer. Air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
