FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities or running?
While the Gazelle was originally an indoor training shoe in the 70s, this modern iteration is designed primarily for casual, everyday lifestyle wear. It is not recommended for high-performance athletic activities or running.
How should I clean the nubuck material?
For best results, use a specialized nubuck or suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a nubuck cleaning solution can be used. Avoid conventional shoe polish or excessive water, as these can damage the material. Always allow them to air dry.
What is a 'gum sole'?
A gum sole refers to the natural, uncolored rubber material used for the outsole. It's known for its excellent grip and durability, as well as its distinctive light brown, translucent appearance, which contributes to the shoe's retro aesthetic.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor features a plush lining and padded tongue and cuff, designed to provide enhanced comfort for extended periods of wear throughout your day.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Adidas Gazelle shoes generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly per individual. We recommend referring to the size guide if available and considering your usual Adidas shoe size.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The nubuck upper is not inherently waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can potentially stain or damage the material. If worn in light rain, ensure they are properly dried afterward. Consider using a protective spray designed for nubuck for added water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck upper appears dirty or discolored.
Use a specialized nubuck/suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of nubuck cleaner according to product instructions, then brush clean. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable fit. Ensure you selected the correct size; consider trying on similar models for comparison if unsure about future purchases.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and if the squeak persists, a light dusting of talcum powder beneath the insole can often resolve it.
Sole grip seems reduced.
Ensure the gum rubber sole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce traction. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove any build-up. While the gum sole offers good grip, avoid extremely slippery or icy conditions.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the premium look and longevity of your Gazelle Indoor shoes:
- Nubuck Upper: For light dirt, use a soft brush specifically designed for nubuck or suede to gently remove debris. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck/suede cleaner. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain nubuck. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Rubber Sole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the textured grip.
- General Care: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
