FAQs
Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes suitable for actual sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports in the 1970s, the modern Gazelle Indoor is primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and fashion. We do not recommend them for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a soft brush or an old toothbrush can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
What is the fit like for these shoes?
The Adidas Gazelle Indoor features a 'regular fit,' meaning it's designed to provide a standard, comfortable fit for most foot types. We generally recommend choosing your usual shoe size.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Due to the suede upper, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can get damaged or stained by water. We recommend applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.
What materials are used in the construction?
These shoes feature a suede upper, leather lining, and a gum rubber outsole. Some internal components may include synthetic materials for comfort and structure.
When was the Gazelle Indoor silhouette originally released?
The Adidas Gazelle Indoor silhouette was an original design from 1979, following the success of the standard Gazelle which debuted in 1966. This particular variant is an updated revisit.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Like many quality shoes, the Gazelle Indoor may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are tying a firm double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, slightly textured laces for better grip.
Unpleasant odor develops
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles if they are washable.

Care Instructions for Suede
The suede upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: For general dirt, use a suede brush to gently remove debris. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use artificial heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
