FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
Yes, the Gazelle Bold Kids Trainers are designed with a durable rubber outsole and supportive platform, making them suitable for light sports activities, playground play, and general active use.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the adidas sizing chart. It's often best to try shoes on towards the end of the day when feet are at their largest.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the primary material of the upper?
For this variant, the upper is made from a combination of Leather & Synthetic materials, offering durability and a classic look.
Are these trainers heavy due to the platform sole?
While the layered platform adds to the shoe's structure and cushioning, the trainers are designed to be comfortable and supportive for children's active wear without being excessively heavy. The weight is balanced for stability and movement.
Are replacement laces available?
Adidas typically offers replacement laces through their official channels or at authorized retailers. You can also find generic laces of the appropriate length and style at most shoe stores.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure a double knot is tied firmly. Consider replacing original laces with slightly longer or textured ones if issues persist.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Re-adjust the lacing from the toe box upwards. For a wider fit, try skipping an eyelet. For a snugger fit, ensure laces are pulled evenly and firmly.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the sole. Try sprinkling a little baby powder under the insole. If it's the sole on the floor, check if the outsole is clean and dry.
Upper material appears dirty or scuffed
For Leather & Synthetic uppers, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs on leather, a specific leather cleaner or polish may be used. Always air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Gazelle Bold Kids Trainers is straightforward:
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the shoelaces to allow ample space for the foot.
- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust Laces: Pull the laces snugly, starting from the toes, working up to the ankle. Ensure they are tight enough for a secure fit but not so tight as to cause discomfort.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning Uppers (Leather & Synthetic):
- Wipe off loose dirt with a soft, dry brush.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap with lukewarm water.
- Dampen a soft cloth with the soapy water and gently wipe the entire surface of the trainers.
- Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth (water only) to remove soap residue.
- Air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
- Cleaning Soles:
- Use a brush or old toothbrush with soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole.
- Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles (if removable) to air out after heavy use. Use shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
