Full details
The adidas Originals Gazelle Lo Pro trainers in White (UK 12) are designed for style-conscious adults seeking a modern take on an iconic terrace shoe.

A potential consideration is their thin-line aesthetic and lower outsole, which may appeal more to fashion-forward users than those prioritizing maximum cushioning or support for athletic activities.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the Gazelle Lo Pro and the classic Gazelle?
The Gazelle Lo Pro features a more refined, lower-profile silhouette and a thinner outsole compared to the classic Gazelle, offering a more contemporary and fashion-forward aesthetic.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, their low profile and construction are not optimized for high-impact sports or running.
How do I clean the white leather and synthetic upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe. Always allow to air dry.
What does 'Lo Pro' stand for?
'Lo Pro' refers to the 'low profile' design of the shoe, indicating its slimmer, flatter silhouette compared to other models.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Gazelle Lo Pro features a standard textile sockliner for comfort. For individuals requiring significant arch support, an additional insole might be considered.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and synthetic upper offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to consider a protective spray for moderate moisture.
What are the iconic 'T-toe' stitches?
The 'T-toe' stitching is a signature design element borrowed from the original Gazelle model, forming a distinctive 'T' shape on the toe box of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Laces can be adjusted for a more customized fit.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening or tightening the laces. If the issue persists, ensure the insoles are properly seated. Moisture can also contribute; ensure shoes are dry.
Dirt or stains on the white upper.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Outsole grip feels reduced.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be hindering traction.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Suede Areas (if applicable to specific colorways): Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a suede cleaner.
- Sole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the tread.
