FAQs
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Gazelle trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They offer basic support but are not intended for intense athletic activities that require specialized cushioning or stability.
What does the 1991 model homage mean?
It signifies that this version of the Gazelle trainer faithfully recreates the materials, colourways, and proportions of the popular Gazelle model released in 1991, offering an authentic vintage feel.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as moisture can damage the material and cause stains. If they get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly.
How do I find the right size?
The trainers are designed for a regular fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult the brand's size guide. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip.
What are the 3-Stripes made of?
The iconic 3-Stripes on the sides of the Gazelle trainers are typically made of synthetic material and are a key design element of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces to allow for more room. If the issue persists after break-in, consider if the size is appropriate. Wearing thinner socks might also help.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a slipping risk. Regular cleaning of the sole can help maintain traction.
Suede has lost its texture or colour.
Over-exposure to water or harsh cleaning methods can affect suede. Gentle brushing with a suede brush can help restore texture. Colour restoration may require specialised suede dyes, applied with extreme caution.
