FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers are designed for casual wear and street style. They do not offer the specialized cushioning, support, or breathability required for high-performance sports or running activities.
How do I clean the leather and synthetic parts of the shoe?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a mild leather cleaner or a multi-surface shoe cleaner designed for both leather and synthetics. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend choosing your usual adidas size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
What is the 'T-toe' feature?
The 'T-toe' refers to the T-shaped overlay panel at the front of the shoe's toe box. It's a classic design element characteristic of many retro adidas styles, adding durability and distinctive visual appeal.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers are made of durable materials, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially to protect the leather and textile components. Applying a water and stain repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
Is the club logo on the heel removable?
No, the club logo and gold lettering on the heel are integrated into the design and are not designed to be removed or altered without damaging the shoe material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more customized and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If it's the sole rubbing the ground, ensure the sole is clean and dry.
Scuffs or marks on the leather upper
For light scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a dedicated leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a leather repair kit might be necessary, or consult a professional shoe care specialist.
Discoloration or fading of the gold lettering
This is often due to wear and friction. To minimize, avoid harsh cleaning agents on the lettering. There are no easy fixes for fading, but careful handling can prolong its vibrancy.
