FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of genuine leather, which is breathable but not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleans, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for smooth leather shoes.
Are these good for running?
The Gazelle Indoor is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual walking and daily wear, not for long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
Will the leather stretch?
Yes, genuine leather will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your foot after a few wears, providing a more customized fit.
What is the difference between these and the standard Gazelle?
The 'Indoor' variant typically features a specific rubber outsole design inherited from its heritage as an indoor court shoe, offering a distinct tread and profile compared to the standard street-sole Gazelle.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to maintain shape and prevent deep, permanent creases.
Scuff marks on the white stripes
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of genuine leather, they do not require a complex setup but do benefit from proper maintenance. To ensure your shoes last, avoid soaking them in water. If they get dirty, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. As these are UK size 5.5, ensure your sizing preference aligns with your standard adidas fit, as the leather will gradually stretch slightly to match your foot anatomy.
