FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper material is not waterproof. We recommend using a protective spray designed for suede footwear to help repel water and prevent stains.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
These trainers are a UK size 8. adidas sizing is generally consistent, but if you're unsure, measure your foot length and compare it to an official adidas size chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for suede materials. It can damage the suede and the overall structure of the shoe. Follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort, wear athletic or casual socks that wick moisture. Cotton socks are also suitable for casual wear.
Is the Liverpool FC branding permanent?
Yes, the 'Liverpool FC' wordmark and club crest on the heel are an integral and permanent part of the trainer's design.
How long do Gazelle trainers typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, adidas Gazelle trainers are known for their durability and can last for several years of regular wear. Longevity will depend on frequency of use and care.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in small, consistent strokes in one direction.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Gazelle trainers, especially suede models, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Scuffs or minor marks on the suede
Gently use a suede eraser to lift scuffs. For deeper marks, a small amount of specialized suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth can help, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole appears dirty or discolored
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
Foot odor develops after prolonged use
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers or removable insoles that can be washed or replaced.

Care Instructions
Given the suede material of the upper, proper care is essential to maintain the trainers' appearance and longevity.
- Protection: Before first wear, consider treating the suede with a protective spray designed for footwear. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
