Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Gazelle trainers, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; suede typically does not stretch significantly. To maintain the condition of your trainers, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before first use to repel water and dirt. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede eraser to gently remove dust and surface marks. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep the natural fibers healthy.
