Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your new adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level. Like most new footwear, a short break-in period may enhance comfort as the suede molds to your foot.
Compatibility
These sneakers offer excellent stylistic compatibility. Their bold `Better Scarlet` color pairs well with neutral tones like black, white, grey, navy, and khaki. They also complement denim washes and can add a vibrant touch to earth-toned outfits. The classic silhouette makes them suitable for a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire.
Care Instructions
Given the suede material, proper care is crucial for longevity and appearance:
- Water Protection: Before initial wear, consider applying a reputable suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and prevent creasing.
