FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Bold GS are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While comfortable for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-performance running or sports.
What is the 'stacked outsole'?
The 'stacked outsole' refers to the elevated, platform-style sole of the shoe. This design gives the sneaker a bold, contemporary look and provides additional cushioning and height compared to a traditional flat sole.
How do I clean the leather upper of these shoes?
For cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it according to the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these Gazelle Bold shoes for adults or kids?
These particular 'GS' models (Grade School) are specifically sized and designed for older kids. While the style might appeal to adults with smaller feet, the sizing corresponds to children's footwear.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas sizing is consistent. For kids, it's often recommended to measure their foot length and compare it to the adidas size chart to ensure the most accurate fit, as children's feet grow quickly.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct size (UK 6 for this specific model, intended for kids). Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. For kids, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Scuff marks or dirt on the leather.
For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid abrasive materials.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or friction between shoe components. Check if the insole is properly seated. If new, the squeaking might diminish with wear. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider trying different lacing techniques that offer a tighter hold.

- Stain Removal: For tougher marks on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
