adidas Gazelle Indoor - Yellow - UK 5.5

Generally, adidas Gazelle models are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially with leather uppers.

While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather. For light rain, consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear.

To clean the yellow leather, gently wipe off surface dirt with a soft, dry brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Always avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

The sole of the adidas Gazelle Indoor 'Crew Yellow Gum' is made of durable beige rubber, designed to provide good traction and classic aesthetic appeal.

The adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, celebrating its iconic heritage. While comfortable for general wear, it is not engineered for high-performance sports or intense physical activity. For athletic pursuits, consider adidas' dedicated sports footwear ranges.

While both are iconic, the standard Gazelle often features a suede upper, whereas this specific 'Gazelle Indoor' variant is highlighted by its 100% leather upper, offering a different texture and feel. The Indoor version also typically has a unique translucent or gum sole.

To minimize creasing, ensure you have the correct size. Using shoe trees when storing your sneakers can help maintain their shape. Regularly conditioning the leather also keeps it supple, which can reduce the severity of creases.

The 100% leather upper requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Applying a quality leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a specialized leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and help maintain the leather's natural luster and flexibility.

Act quickly to address stains. For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner on a cloth and rub gently. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and grime. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing to restore optimal grip.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, check if the insole is properly seated.
