Adidas Gazelle Indoor - Yellow - Leather - Size: 4

No, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor with a leather and synthetic upper is not designed to be waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance to light moisture, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or submersion to protect the materials and construction.

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor features a `regular fit`. Most users find them true to size for comfortable everyday wear. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying both sizes or consulting a size chart.

No, machine washing is strongly discouraged for leather and synthetic sneakers. The harsh detergents, agitation, and high temperatures can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the recommended manual cleaning and care instructions.

`LWG Certified Leather` refers to leather sourced from tanneries that have been audited by the Leather Working Group (LWG). This certification indicates that the tanneries meet environmental performance standards, promoting more sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.

While the Gazelle Indoor has roots as a '60s training shoe, its modern iteration is primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It offers comfort for casual wear and light activities, but it's not engineered with the specialized cushioning, support, or grip required for high-performance sports or intense workouts.

To maintain their shape and condition, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees or stuffing the toe box with acid-free tissue paper can help prevent creasing and maintain the shoe's original form.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, regularly clean and condition the leather to keep it supple. Storing the shoes with shoe trees or crumpled paper in the toe box can also help reduce the severity of creases when not in use.

Ensure you have the correct size. The Gazelle Indoor has a regular fit, but individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing for a looser fit. Wearing them with thinner socks initially can also help break them in.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or to restore luster, use a reputable leather cleaner and conditioner designed for smooth leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, often due to moisture. Remove the insoles, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.

Protect your sneakers from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause color fading over time. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Regular cleaning and conditioning can also help maintain the vibrancy of the leather.

Clean the `gum rubber outsole` thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the tread pattern is not excessively worn, as this can indicate the need for replacement.
