FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing football or other sports?
No, these adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not built for athletic performance or rigorous sports activities like football.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
It is recommended to refer to the official adidas sizing chart, which can usually be found on the product page or adidas's official website. If possible, trying them on in person or comparing them to an existing pair of adidas shoes you own can also help.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these leather trainers. It can damage the leather, stitching, and the shoe's overall construction. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.
Is the Manchester United branding prone to fading or peeling?
The Manchester United branding and adidas Trefoil logo are typically high-quality and durable, designed to withstand normal wear. With proper care, they should remain intact and vibrant.
What's the best way to prevent creasing on the leather upper?
Regular wear will naturally cause some creasing. To minimize it, you can use shoe trees when the trainers are not being worn. Keeping the leather conditioned and moisturized also helps maintain its flexibility.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The leather upper provides some natural resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. For better protection against rain, you can apply a suitable leather water-repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or scuffed over time.
Clean the surface gently with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish to restore its luster and protect the material.
Trainers feel a bit stiff when first worn.
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to the shape of your foot. They will become more comfortable with regular use.
Soles become dirty and discolored.
Use a soft brush and a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) to scrub the gum sole. Wipe thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth afterwards.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap specifically designed for leather, or a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Cleaning the Gum Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution to scrub away dirt from the gum rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray periodically to help repel water and stains.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers.
