FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe. While its origins are in indoor training, it does not offer the advanced support or cushioning required for modern running or high-impact sports.
How do I determine my size?
The shoes are listed in UK women's sizing. We recommend referring to adidas' official size guide if you are unsure or converting from another sizing system.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain as water can damage the material and leave stains. For light drizzle, a good quality suede protector can offer some resistance, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
What is the material of the shoe's upper?
The upper is made from smooth suede leather, giving the shoe its distinct texture and classic appearance.
Are the 3-Stripes and Gazelle lettering durable?
Yes, these iconic brand elements are an integral part of the design and are applied with durability in mind, expected to last the lifetime of the shoe with proper care.
Is the gum sole slippery?
The translucent gum rubber cupsole provides good traction for everyday walking on various surfaces. It is not inherently slippery, but like any shoe, extreme wet or icy conditions may reduce grip.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dust. Brush in a consistent direction.
Suede has minor scuffs or marks.
Carefully use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to lightly rub away scuffs. Follow up with a suede brush.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. For tightness, try looser lacing. For looseness, consider different lacing patterns that provide more lockdown. Ensure you have the correct size.
Gum sole appears dirty or discolored.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a shoe sole cleaner or magic eraser can be effective.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the appearance and longevity of your suede Gazelle Indoor shoes requires specific care:
- Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water damage and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep your suede shoes away from heavy rain or puddles. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
