FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a football trainer, the Gazelle is now classified as a lifestyle or streetwear shoe and lacks the advanced cushioning required for professional running.
How do I determine if size 8.5 UK is right for me?
The Gazelle is designed as a regular fit. If you typically wear a UK 8.5 in other adidas Originals models, this size should provide a consistent fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Suede is absorbent and can be damaged by water. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain and to apply a waterproof spray before potential exposure.
Are the insoles removable?
Most Gazelle models feature standard insoles that are generally not intended to be removed, though they may be replaceable with orthotic inserts if necessary.
What is the best way to keep the green suede looking fresh?
Brushing the suede regularly with a dry suede brush keeps the nap looking uniform and prevents dirt from settling deep into the fibers.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the spot away, then restore the nap with a soft suede brush.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Replace the standard lace with a higher-friction cotton lace or use a double-knot technique to ensure security.
Material color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If color has faded, you can purchase a professional-grade suede revitalizer spray in a matching green tone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing them outside for the first time, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to repel moisture and stains.
- Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled suede brush after each wear to remove loose dirt and dust from the nap of the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green hue over time.
- Cleaning: Do not put these shoes in a washing machine. If they become stained, use a dedicated suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner, following the instructions on the product packaging.
- Fit: These trainers follow a regular fit; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your foot profile.
