FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Gazelle range is generally considered true to size for standard UK fittings.
Can I use these for running?
No, while they started as indoor football trainers, they lack the modern shock absorption and support needed for running.
How do I protect my suede Gazelles?
It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before wearing them outside.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
They are best kept for dry conditions, especially the suede versions, as water can damage the material.
What is the difference between the leather and suede models?
Leather models are generally easier to wipe clean and more water-resistant, while suede models offer a softer, matte aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to maintain the shape of the leather or suede.
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt and buff the texture.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure they are double-knotted or try a more secure lacing pattern, as heritage flat laces can be prone to loosening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Setup: Loosen the laces completely before your first wear to ensure a comfortable entry and proper tension adjustment for your arch.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though if you prefer a thicker sock, you may want to consider this when selecting your UK size.
- Care: If you have the suede models, use a suede-specific brush to remove dirt. For leather variants, wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and use a gentle leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking. Avoid excessive moisture, and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
