FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor are designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and comfort. They are not intended for athletic performance, running, or intensive sports activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Can I wear them in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water and can be damaged or stained. It's recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. Applying a protective suede spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
What does 'LWG certified' mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather was sourced from tanneries that adhere to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices in their leather production.
Do they run true to size?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor generally offers a regular fit. It's recommended to choose your standard shoe size. However, individual foot shapes and preferences can vary, so trying them on is always best if possible.
What is the primary benefit of the translucent gum sole?
The translucent gum sole provides a distinctive aesthetic and offers comfortable cushioning and good grip for casual, indoor, and urban environments. It contributes to the shoe's classic look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for best results.
Visible dirt or light stains on suede
Try a suede eraser first to gently rub away the mark. For tougher spots, use a minimal amount of a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean cloth, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, verify the size is correct against a sizing guide, as fit can vary slightly between models and personal preference.
Loss of grip on the gum sole
Ensure the sole is clean from dirt or debris. The gum sole is designed for indoor comfort and casual wear; it may not provide optimal grip on very wet or slippery outdoor surfaces.
Gold foil lettering starting to fade
Minimize rubbing or abrasive contact with the gold foil. Clean gently around the lettering with a soft, damp cloth if needed, avoiding direct application of harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup (Wearing)
- Lacing: The Gazelle Indoor features a traditional lace closure. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.
- Fit Check: These trainers have a regular fit. Ensure your toes have enough room to wiggle slightly and that your heel feels secure without slipping excessively.
Compatibility (Styling)
- Versatile Wardrobe Addition: The classic design and "Shadow Green" colour make these trainers highly compatible with a wide range of clothing, from vintage sportswear to contemporary casual outfits.
- Colour Pairing: Complement the green tones with earthy colours, blues, greys, or even subtle yellows and oranges for a balanced look. The warm sandstone accents provide a natural pairing.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers.
- Suede Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For more stubborn marks, specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a clean cloth is recommended.
- *Avoid:* Water, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, which can damage the suede's nap and colour.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to elements.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can crack or shrink the suede.
