FAQs

Are adidas Gazelle Indoor W suitable for athletic activities?

While the Gazelle originated as an indoor training shoe, the current Gazelle Indoor W is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It is not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or intense gym workouts. It's best suited for casual wear and light walking.

How do I clean the suede upper?

To clean the suede upper, first use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. For more stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly. Always avoid excessive water and allow shoes to air dry completely.

What is the fit like for the Gazelle Indoor W?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor W generally offers a comfortable, standard fit. Suede models may feel snug initially but tend to mold to your foot with wear. It's recommended to purchase your usual adidas size.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to heavy rain or moisture can stain, discolour, or damage the suede. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in wet weather or apply a protective waterproof spray for suede before use.

What materials are these shoes made from?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor W features a premium soft suede upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a distinctive gum rubber sole. The iconic 3-Stripes are typically synthetic, and the tongue features a gold Trefoil call-out.

How can I protect the color of my purple Gazelles?

To protect the rich plum color, store your shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use. Regular cleaning with appropriate suede products will also help maintain their appearance. A suede protector spray can help prevent fading and staining.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or has flattened nap.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture. For stubborn areas, rub a suede eraser lightly over the spot.

Visible dirt or light stains on the suede.

Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the dirt or stain. For more significant stains, a specialized suede cleaning solution applied sparingly with a clean cloth can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole has dirt marks or appears discolored.

Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and an old toothbrush to scrub gently. Rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.

Gazelle shoes, especially suede models, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Color fading on the suede over time.

Exposure to direct sunlight can cause suede color to fade. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a suede color restorer if fading is significant, following product instructions carefully.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas Gazelle Indoor W shoes, especially given their suede construction.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning:
  • For Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
  • For Gum Sole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner or an old toothbrush can help.
  • For Leather Lining: Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth.
  1. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  2. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
