FAQs

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper is composed of Synthetics and Leather (specifically Suede for this variant), with a Textile lining and a durable Rubber sole.

Are these suitable for sports or athletic performance?

While inspired by football heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style, offering comfort and aesthetic appeal rather than high-performance athletic functionality.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a suede-specific cleaning product is recommended. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for the suede material, as it can cause damage, shrinkage, or discolouration. Always refer to the product care label for specific instructions.

What is the significance of the club logo and gold lettering?

These details are an homage to football heritage, allowing wearers to subtly display passion for their club or the sport while maintaining a classic, stylish look.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The lace-up fastening allows for a customizable fit. Adjust the laces to your comfort level, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. Selecting the correct UK size for your foot is also crucial.

Are these trainers unisex?

While this specific variant is listed as 'Male' in its attributes, the adidas Gazelle design is widely adopted and worn by individuals of all genders due to its classic and versatile style.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in the direction of the nap.

Stains on the suede upper.

For dry stains, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then use a suede-specific cleaner following product instructions. Always air dry.

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Re-adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more customized and secure fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size for your foot.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Sometimes this can be due to air trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Care

Maintaining the pristine look of your suede trainers is important. While specific instructions are on the product label, here are general care guidelines for the suede upper:

  • Protection: It's highly recommended to apply a suede and nubuck protector spray before the first wear to create a barrier against moisture and stains.
  • Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Spot Cleaning: For dried stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub them away. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions carefully.
  • Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb excess moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the suede.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or stiff brushes that can damage the suede.
