Adidas Gazelle Indoor W Sneaker - Brown - Leather - UK 3

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor W sneakers typically run true to size with a standard fit. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Always refer to Adidas's official sizing chart if available.

While drawing inspiration from athletic heritage, the Gazelle Indoor W is primarily designed as a *lifestyle sneaker* for casual everyday wear. Its gum rubber outsole provides good grip for general walking, but it is not engineered for high-performance sports or intense running activities.

The leather upper provides some natural resistance, but these sneakers are *not waterproof*. Exposure to heavy rain should be minimized. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Consider using a *water and stain protector* specifically for leather to enhance protection.

The low-profile design and comfortable lining make these suitable for a variety of socks, from no-show socks for a sleek look to ankle-cut or crew socks for added comfort or style. Choose socks that complement your outfit and provide personal comfort.

For fabric laces, you can remove them and hand wash them with a mild soap and warm water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush if needed. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing them. For stubborn stains, a small amount of laundry stain remover can be used cautiously.

The gilded 'Gazelle' lettering is designed to be durable under normal wear. To maintain its appearance, avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive scrubbing directly over the lettering. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning this area.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to trapped moisture. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to the outsole, and wearing them in usually resolves it.

Use a specialized leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific color of your sneakers. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, rub gently in circular motions, then buff to a shine. For minor scuffs, a leather repair balm may help restore the surface. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip and durability.
