FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort for everyday activities, they are not engineered for high-performance sports, running, or intensive athletic training.
How do I clean the unique synthetic and leather upper?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down surfaces. For more stubborn marks on leather areas, use a specialized leather cleaner. For synthetic parts, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and mild soap solution can be effective. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Adidas Gazelle models generally fit true to size for most users. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. It's recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the materials offer some resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the materials and reduce their lifespan. Consider using a protective spray for enhanced water repellency.
What is the primary material composition of these trainers?
The upper is a blend of synthetics and leather, the lining is textile, and the sole is made of rubber. This combination offers a balance of durability, comfort, and classic aesthetic.
How can I prevent the trainers from creasing?
To minimize creasing, especially on the toe box, consider using shoe trees when not wearing them. Avoiding over-lacing and ensuring a proper fit can also help reduce stress on the upper materials that lead to creases.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques (e.g., skip an eyelet, use a heel lock knot) to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks for the desired fit.
Upper material appears dirty or scuffed.
For synthetic/leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for footwear leather and synthetics. Do not use abrasive brushes or harsh chemicals, which can damage the material.
Soles feel slippery or lack grip.
Ensure the rubber soles are clean and free of debris. If the soles are significantly worn, grip may naturally diminish over time. Avoid wearing on excessively wet or icy surfaces.
Foot odor develops after wear.
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each use. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure socks are clean and breathable. Machine washing is not recommended for these trainers.

Care

- General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the synthetic and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Spot Treatment: For stubborn marks on leather, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. For synthetic areas, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and water can be effective.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or cloth and a mild detergent solution to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to absorb moisture and help retain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray suitable for mixed materials to repel water and stains, particularly on the leather and synthetic upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
- Refer to Label: Always consult the product label inside the trainer for specific care instructions, as material compositions can vary slightly between models.
