FAQs
Are adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and fashion. While comfortable, they do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or technology required for running or other athletic performance sports.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This will create a barrier that repels water and makes it easier to clean off stains.
Can I put my Gazelle Indoor Trainers in the washing machine?
No, you should never put suede or leather trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, agitation, and water can severely damage the materials, cause discoloration, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always clean them by hand as per the care instructions.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most people. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If possible, it's always best to try them on or consult a size guide that includes measurements if you're unsure.
What is the best way to clean the translucent gum sole?
For routine cleaning, simply wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or scuffs, you can use a mild soap solution with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush), then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Are these trainers comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their soft suede upper and durable leather lining, the Gazelle Indoor Trainers are generally considered comfortable for extended periods of casual wear. They offer a good balance of classic style and everyday comfort, though individual preferences for arch support may vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks flattened or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in multiple directions, then consistently in one direction, to restore its texture.
Suede has a water stain.
Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the entire panel with clean water, allow to dry, then re-brush.
Trainer feels uncomfortable or rubs.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing; sometimes loosening or tightening specific sections can improve comfort. Wear thicker socks initially during the break-in period.
Gum outsole appears dirty or slippery.
Wipe the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use an old toothbrush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gazelle Indoor Trainers, especially given their suede and leather components.
Suede Upper Care
- Protect Before First Use: Apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray to repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede can be damaged by water. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat. Once dry, brush the nap.
Leather Lining Care
- Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the leather lining if needed. Allow to air dry.
Gum Rubber Outsole Care
- Wipe Down: Regularly wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a soft brush with mild soap can be used.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the rubber.
General Tips
- Air Out: Allow your trainers to air out after wearing to prevent odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Rotation: If you wear them frequently, consider rotating them with other shoes to allow them to fully dry out between wears.
