FAQs
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It signifies that the leather used in your Gazelle Indoor trainers comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified for their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?
While the adidas Gazelle has roots in training, the Gazelle Indoor is an iconic lifestyle shoe. It's designed for comfort and style in everyday and indoor settings, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I maintain the smooth leather material?
To maintain the smooth leather, regularly wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper and `rubber outsole` offer some protection, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather. You can apply a water-repellent spray specifically for leather to add an extra layer of protection.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas shoes?
The Gazelle Indoor typically features a `regular fit` that is generally consistent with other adidas Originals lifestyle footwear. We recommend checking your usual adidas size, or measuring your foot and comparing it to an adidas size chart for the most accurate fit.
What is the significance of the translucent gum sole?
The `translucent gum sole` is a direct nod to the original Gazelle Indoor design. It not only provides distinctive aesthetic appeal but also contributes to the shoe's grip and durability, reflecting its heritage as an indoor training shoe.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper shows creasing or wrinkles
This is normal for leather with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes and regularly condition the leather to keep it supple.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the `lace closure` system. Try different lacing techniques to customize the fit. Ensure you have the correct size; the `regular fit` is true to size for most.
Sole appears dirty or discolored
Clean the `translucent gum sole` and `rubber outsole` with a mixture of mild soap and water, using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner formulated for rubber soles can be effective.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoe
Remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure socks are worn and replace them regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started (Setup)
Setting up your Gazelle Indoor trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Utilize the `lace closure` system to adjust the fit. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension for optimal comfort.
- Break-In: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period may help the leather conform perfectly to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for `adult` `Male` wearers, though the Gazelle series is widely appreciated across all genders. Their classic design ensures compatibility with a broad range of fashion styles, from vintage sportswear to modern casual wear.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather Gazelle Indoor trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the `leather and synthetic materials` with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Sole Care: Clean the `rubber outsole` and `translucent gum sole` with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush to remove dirt from grooves.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Water Protection: While the rubber sole offers some protection, consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture.
