FAQs
How do I clean the pink suede on these trainers?
For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, blotting gently. Always allow to air dry completely.
Are these Gazelle trainers suitable for sports or intense physical activity?
While durable and comfortable, these Gazelle trainers are primarily designed as a streetwear classic for everyday casual wear. For high-performance sports, dedicated athletic footwear would be more appropriate.
How can I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. This will help protect the material from the elements.
Are these shoes true to size for children?
Adidas generally runs true to size. However, children's feet grow quickly, so it's best to measure your child's foot and consult the official adidas size chart to ensure the most accurate fit. The wider toe box offers extra comfort.
What is the historical significance of the adidas Gazelle?
The original Gazelle debuted in 1966 as a versatile training shoe. Over the decades, it evolved into a beloved streetwear icon due to its simple, clean design. This kids' version revives the 1991 silhouette, maintaining that classic appeal.
Can these trainers be worn in rainy weather?
While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, suede is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve their look.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush in a single direction to restore the nap and vibrancy.
Stains on the suede material.
For small stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner on a clean cloth, blotting gently. For tougher stains, professional cleaning might be necessary. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lace fastening. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If still an issue, double-check the sizing against a foot measurement.
Laces frequently come undone.
Teach your child how to tie a double knot or consider replacing the standard laces with ones that have more grip, if suitable.
Sole is dirty and losing grip.
Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush for crevices. Ensure the sole is dry before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting your child's adidas Gazelle trainers ready is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove trainers from packaging.
- Lace Up: Use the traditional lace fastening to secure the shoe snugly around your child's foot. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfortable movement.
- Adjust: Check the fit around the ankle and toes. The wider toe box provides comfort, but ensure overall length is appropriate for growth without being too large.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Specifically designed for kids.
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
- Sizing: Available in various children's UK sizes (e.g., Size 1, Size 2, Size 11, Size 12, Size 13). Always refer to adidas's size guide for the most accurate fit.
Care
Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of these trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust using a soft suede brush. Brush in one direction to keep the nap consistent.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a clean cloth. Apply sparingly and blot gently. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the suede and adhesives.
