FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as it can damage the materials and adhesive. Stick to hand-cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these true to size?
The Adidas Gazelle generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or measuring your foot.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, these are lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced cushioning and support features required for dedicated running.
What should I do if my trainers get wet?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper to help absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators.
Are the insoles removable?
Most Gazelle models feature standard insoles; however, if you intend to replace them with custom orthotics, ensure the shoe retains a comfortable volume.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a slightly textured material for better grip.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Use a specialized suede or leather cleaner appropriate for the specific material finish of your pair.
Uncomfortable foot pressure
Experiment with different lacing patterns, such as a 'heel lock' or loosening the laces near the toe box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Gazelle trainers maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference upon the first wear to avoid pressure points.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the exterior. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoe entirely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing. If you wear orthotics, ensure you test them inside the shoe to ensure the fit remains comfortable.
