FAQs

What is nubuck material?

Nubuck is a top-grain leather that has been buffed or sanded on the outer surface, giving it a velvety, suede-like feel but often more durable. It's known for its premium look and soft texture.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports activities?

No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. Its construction and grip are optimized for everyday street wear and light activities, not for performance running or intense sports.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Your heel should fit snugly, and you should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. These shoes are generally considered true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the nubuck upper is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or prolonged moisture can stain or damage the material. It's recommended to treat them with a water-repellent nubuck protector spray and avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

What does 'gum sole' mean?

'Gum sole' refers to an outsole made from a type of rubber that is often tan or brownish in color, resembling natural rubber gum. It's known for its excellent grip, flexibility, and distinctive retro appearance, often associated with indoor sports shoes or classic sneakers.

Is the T-toe overlay durable?

Yes, the T-toe overlay is an iconic design feature made from a durable material (often suede or synthetic) that adds an extra layer of protection to the toe area, contributing to the shoe's overall resilience and classic look.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck upper looks dull or has minor stains.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stains, use a nubuck eraser or a dedicated nubuck cleaner following its instructions.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. The plush lining might feel snug initially; wear them for short periods to break them in. Adjust the lace-up fastening to alleviate pressure points.

Gum sole has lost some grip or is dirty.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. A soft-bristled brush can help scrub textured areas for better traction.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Remove the insole (if removable), clean both surfaces, and ensure they are thoroughly dry before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder can also help reduce friction.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your premium nubuck Gazelle Indoor shoes:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a suitable nubuck protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt and dust using a soft nubuck brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to the product's instructions.
  3. Spot Treatment: Address stains immediately with a nubuck eraser or a damp, clean cloth (avoiding excessive moisture).
  4. Drying: If wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or traditional leather polishes, as these can damage the nubuck material.
