FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear. While they offer comfort and grip for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from heat. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the best way to maintain the white color?
Regular brushing with a suede brush will help keep the white suede clean. Using a suede protector spray can offer protection against dirt and water. Address spills and stains promptly.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, providing good traction and longevity for everyday wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can provide water resistance.
What does 'low profile' mean for this shoe?
A 'low profile' refers to the shoe's relatively flat and close-to-the-ground design, which contributes to its sleek aesthetic and direct feel.
How long has the Gazelle model been around?
The Gazelle silhouette has a history spanning over 70 years, first introduced in the 1960s.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.
Laces are worn out
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material for a fresh look and secure fit.
Sole is losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove any debris that might be affecting traction. If the sole is significantly worn, professional repair might be an option.
Fit feels too tight
Loosen the laces and wear the shoes around the house to allow them to mold to your feet. Suede can stretch slightly over time.
