FAQs
What material are the adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers made of?
The upper is primarily made of soft suede, with a textile lining and a rubber sole.
How should I clean suede trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-impact sports. They offer comfort for walking but lack specialized athletic support.
What is the fit like for these Gazelle trainers?
They are designed for a regular fit. It is recommended to refer to adidas sizing charts for the most accurate fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
How do I maintain the color of the suede?
Protecting the trainers with a suede protector spray can help maintain color and resist fading from sun exposure. Store them away from direct light when not in use.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the suede. A protector spray can offer some resistance, but they are best kept dry.
What does the 'Gazelle' branding refer to?
Gazelle is a historic adidas shoe model, first released in the 1960s. The branding signifies its iconic status and heritage within the adidas Originals line.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for light marks. For deeper stains, employ a dedicated suede cleaner and brush, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry away from heat.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Available at most shoe stores or online retailers.
Sole shows signs of wear
Minor wear can sometimes be addressed by a cobbler for resoling, though this depends on the extent of the damage and the shoe's overall condition.
Trainers lose shape
Use shoe trees made for casual footwear to help maintain the original shape when not in use. Store them upright.
