FAQs

Are these Gazelle trainers suitable for all-weather wear?

The suede material is not waterproof and is best suited for dry conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or muddy environments to protect the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

These are `UK size 12`. It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the adidas sizing chart for kids. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and construction. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' for proper cleaning methods.

Are the insoles removable?

While the `OrthoLite insole` provides excellent comfort and freshness, information on whether they are easily removable is not provided. Typically, OrthoLite insoles are integrated for optimal performance.

What activities are these trainers best for?

These trainers are ideal for everyday wear, school, casual outings, and light play due to their comfort, grip, and durable construction. They are not designed for high-performance sports.

Will the black suede fade over time?

Like most colored suede products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct light will help preserve their color.

Is this model available in adult sizes?

Yes, the adidas Gazelle is a classic model available in a wide range of sizes, including adult sizes, as it's a downsized version of a popular adult style. This specific product is for kids.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Check if the size is appropriate for your child's foot. Allow some break-in time as suede can soften slightly with wear.

Sole is losing grip.

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Shoes have an odor.

The OrthoLite insole helps, but for persistent odor, remove insoles (if possible) and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let sit overnight before emptying.

Care Instructions

The `suede` material of these Gazelle trainers requires specific care to maintain its appearance:

  • Daily Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser. Gently rub the affected area.
  • Deep Cleaning (Suede Specific): For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner solution specifically designed for the material. Follow the product instructions carefully, applying sparingly with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature; do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the suede.
