FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. While they offer good comfort and traction for light activities like walking, they are not intended for intense athletic performance or sports.
How do I clean the pink velvet material?
Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush or use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material. For stains, use a specialized velvet cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can severely damage the velvet material and the structure of the shoe.
Do these run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check customer reviews or consult a size guide if unsure.
What is the main difference between these and the standard Gazelle Indoor?
The primary difference is the material: these feature a luxurious velvet upper, whereas standard Gazelle Indoor models often use suede or leather. They also feature specific color accents.
Are they waterproof?
No, the velvet material is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
What do the green and scarlet accents represent?
These are decorative color accents that provide a striking visual contrast to the pink velvet upper, enhancing the shoe's aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Velvet appears matted or crushed
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For persistent matting, a steam iron held at a distance (never touching the velvet) can help lift the fibers, followed by brushing.
Scuff marks on the velvet
Attempt to gently wipe the mark with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized velvet cleaner according to product instructions.
Gum sole looks dirty
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A magic eraser can also be effective for scuffs on the rubber, but use with caution to avoid damaging the upper.
Color transfer from accents
This is rare but can occur if the accents become wet. Ensure the shoes are kept dry. If color transfer occurs, professional cleaning might be necessary.
