FAQs
What is CORDURA® fabric?
CORDURA® fabric is a highly durable synthetic material known for its exceptional resistance to tears, scuffs, abrasions, and water. It is often used in demanding applications where strength and longevity are crucial.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized cushioning or support required for high-impact activities like running.
How do I clean the CORDURA® fabric?
Gently clean the CORDURA® fabric with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or its water-resistant properties.
Will these shoes keep my feet completely dry in heavy rain?
The CORDURA® fabric offers water resistance, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproofing measures or different footwear may be necessary.
Can I wear these trainers in warm weather?
While comfortable for general wear, the durable and water-resistant nature of CORDURA® fabric might make them less breathable than trainers made from lighter, more porous materials during very hot weather.
What does the 'Gazelle' series signify?
The Gazelle series is one of adidas's most iconic and long-standing footwear lines, known for its timeless design and versatility. The CORDURA® iteration adds modern durability to this classic model.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
Refer to the product's variant siblings information for available sizes and colorways of the adidas Originals Gazelle trainers.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water resistance over time
Reapply a fabric protector spray specifically designed for CORDURA® or synthetic materials, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Fading color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth rather than abrasive cleaners.
Slightly stiff material on first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the CORDURA® fabric to break in. The padded ankle collar also aids comfort.
Lace fraying
Replace laces with a durable, flat lace of similar length. Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the CORDURA® fabric and overlays. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: While CORDURA® is water-resistant, avoid prolonged submersion in water. For maintaining water repellency over time, consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for synthetic materials, following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
