adidas Gazelle - Black - Suede - UK 13

While comfortable for active kids and suitable for light play, these adidas Gazelle trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities, not specialized sports performance that requires specific athletic footwear.

We recommend accurately measuring your child's foot and comparing it to adidas's official size chart for kids' footwear. If your child is between sizes, it's often advisable to choose the half-size up to allow for growth and comfort.

The suede material is not naturally waterproof. While applying a suede protector spray can help repel light moisture, it's generally best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to prevent water damage, staining, and hardening of the suede.

Regular light brushing after wear can help keep the suede looking fresh. For deeper cleaning, address stains as they occur. A thorough cleaning with a specialized suede cleaner can be done every few months, depending on how frequently the shoes are worn and their exposure to dirt.

An Ortholite insole is a high-performance, breathable, open-cell foam that provides long-lasting cushioning, manages moisture to keep feet cooler and drier, and has anti-microbial properties to help prevent odor.

Black suede is generally color-stable. However, like most colored materials, prolonged and intense exposure to direct sunlight can cause some gradual fading over an extended period. Proper storage helps maintain the color.

Info needed: Check with adidas official retailers, dedicated shoe accessory stores, or online vendors for compatible replacement laces if needed. The original laces are standard flat shoelaces.

Gently brush the suede in one direction with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and restore its original texture and appearance.

Use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to lightly rub the scuff mark away. For stubborn marks, a small amount of specialized suede cleaner may be applied with a soft cloth, then brushed.

Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels immediately to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede with a suede brush to soften it.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out thoroughly. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.
