FAQs
How do I clean the blue suede upper?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap, then let air dry and re-brush the nap.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the suede and leave stains. Consider applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.
Are adidas Gazelle sneakers true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle sneakers are considered true to size for most users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
What is the sole made of?
The sole of the adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneaker is made of durable rubber, providing good traction and longevity for everyday wear.
How do I protect the gold-foil Gazelle logo?
The gold-foil logo is durable for normal wear. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners directly on the logo to prevent damage or fading. Gentle cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is best.
Are these suitable for sports or running?
While the Gazelle originated as a training shoe, the current Indoor Sneaker version is primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-performance sports or running. Its construction is best suited for everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry and brush the nap.
Suede is wet and stiff after exposure to moisture.
Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and softness.
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
The suede material may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to soften and adapt to your foot's shape.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of a similar style and length.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gazelle sneakers.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of mild soap, dabbing gently.
- Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Stain Removal:
- For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
- For oil-based stains, apply cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let sit for several hours, then brush off.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps repel water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
