FAQs
How do I properly clean the suede on these trainers?
To clean the suede, first, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution with a clean cloth. Always allow them to air dry completely.
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
These adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion purposes. While comfortable, they are not engineered for high-performance sports or intense athletic activities.
Do these Gazelle trainers fit true to size?
Yes, these trainers feature a regular fit and are generally considered to fit true to your standard UK shoe size. This specific model is UK 11.5.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these trainers is made from premium suede, giving them their distinctive look and feel.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water and can be damaged or stained by moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in rainy or very wet conditions. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
How durable is the Real Madrid crest on the heel?
The Real Madrid crest is securely affixed to the heel. With proper care and by avoiding abrasive rubbing, it is designed to be durable for the lifespan of the trainers.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to lift dirt and restore the texture.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace closure to achieve your preferred fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK shoe size (UK 11.5 for this model) as these trainers are designed for a regular fit.
Small dirt marks or scuffs on the suede
For light marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the dirt. For more persistent stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Colour appears to be fading
Protect your trainers from prolonged direct sunlight exposure. Applying a UV-protective spray designed for suede can help prevent fading.
Outsole seems slippery or has lost grip
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris that might reduce traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe the sole if necessary.
