FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities or sports?
While the Gazelle line originated as indoor training shoes, the Gazelle Indoor Shoes with their premium materials and specific sole are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion footwear. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities or sports.
How do I best protect the suede and snakeskin parts of the shoe?
It is highly recommended to use a suede and leather protector spray before the first wear. Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh conditions.
What is the lining material inside the shoe?
The ADIDAS ORIGINALS Gazelle Indoor Shoes feature a comfortable and premium leather lining.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, these shoes generally run true to size in standard UK men's sizing. We recommend checking the adidas sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
Due to the suede upper, it is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance.
What makes the 'Indoor' rubber gum outsole special?
The 'Indoor' rubber gum outsole is a signature feature, offering a distinctive amber-colored appearance that sets it apart from the original Gazelle's white sole. It provides reliable grip for urban and indoor surfaces while contributing to the shoe's unique style.
How do these shoes adapt to different outfits?
Their classic yet contemporary design, combined with premium materials, allows them to seamlessly adapt to a variety of casual and smart-casual looks, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and even some tailored ensembles.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather lining and suede upper to break in and conform to your foot shape. This typically improves with wear.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. If necessary, try a double knot, especially during the initial break-in period when materials are still settling.
Gum sole has dirt marks or scuffs.
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
Suede got wet and appears discolored.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For significant water damage, professional cleaning may be required.
