FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. While comfortable for walking and light activities, they do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for serious running.
How do I clean the blue suede?
Use a soft suede brush or a suede eraser for general cleaning. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap and allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The 'Indoor' version typically features a softer, more flexible sole, often a gum sole, designed with indoor court sports in mind historically, and is often preferred for its comfort and retro aesthetic in casual wear. The standard Gazelle might have a slightly different sole construction.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede and cause discoloration. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically for suede as a preventative measure.
What does 'Blue Fusion Gum W' signify?
'Blue Fusion' refers to the primary color. 'Gum' indicates the caramel-colored rubber sole. 'W' signifies that this particular model is available in women's sizing.
What material is the tongue made of?
The tongue is textured and features white branding, consistent with the overall design aesthetic of the shoe.
What is the retail price of this shoe?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor Blue Fusion Gum W was released at a retail price of $90.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used.
Gum sole has scuff marks.
Try using a clean pencil eraser or a magic eraser (test on a small area first) to gently rub away the marks.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the suede. Avoid using heat, as it can damage the material.
Discoloration on suede from moisture.
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Water-repellent sprays designed for suede can help prevent future issues.
