FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of these Gazelle Manchester United trainers is made from premium leather, providing durability and a classic aesthetic.
Are these suitable for playing football or other sports?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for performance sports like football. Their construction is optimized for comfort and durability in everyday use.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers are UK Men's size 6.5. It's generally recommended to stick to your standard adidas UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consult an adidas size guide or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
How do I maintain the color of the brown leather?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and using a suitable leather conditioner will help maintain the richness of the brown leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
What is the gum rubber sole for?
The gum rubber sole provides excellent traction and adds to the classic, retro aesthetic of the Gazelle trainers. It is known for its durability and distinctive look.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the surface, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper marks, a compatible leather repair balm or polish can often minimize their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole has lost some grip or looks dirty
Clean the sole regularly with a soft brush, warm water, and mild soap. For stubborn grime, a magic eraser or specialized sole cleaner can be effective.
Foil branding on sidewall seems to be fading
This is typically due to wear. To preserve it, avoid harsh scrubbing on the branded areas during cleaning and try to minimize abrasion. Fading over time is a natural part of wear for foil details.

Care
To ensure the longevity and maintain the appearance of your leather Gazelle Manchester United trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning:
- For light dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Clean the gum rubber sole with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying:
- If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use for extended periods.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and colors.
