FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made from premium suede, giving the shoes a luxurious feel and classic aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, while they have an athletic heritage, the adidas Gazelle Indoor W is designed for casual, everyday wear and fashion purposes, not for running or performance sports.
How should I clean the suede portion of the shoes?
For best results, use a specialized suede brush and suede cleaner. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
What kind of sole do these sneakers have?
They feature a translucent gum rubber cupsole, which provides excellent grip and contributes to the shoe's iconic retro look.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The adidas Gazelle series generally runs true to size for women. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
It is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as water can damage or stain the suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and gently brush the suede once dry.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede in one direction with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper matting, a suede eraser can also be effective.
Stains on the suede upper.
For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid rubbing harshly, as this can spread the stain or damage the suede.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
These shoes feature a leather lining and suede upper that may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape for enhanced comfort.
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing technique, such as a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.

Care Instructions
Given the premium suede upper and leather lining, proper care is crucial for longevity and appearance.
- Suede Cleaning: For dirt or light scuffs, gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Leather Lining Care: Wipe the leather lining with a soft, damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole Cleaning: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain grip and appearance.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the suede from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid crushing them to maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear to help repel water and stains. Ensure the spray is suitable for the material.
