FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
adidas Gazelle trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While these trainers are durable, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance against light moisture.
How often should I clean my suede Gazelle trainers?
Regular light cleaning with a suede brush after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning or stain treatment should be done as needed, especially after any spills or significant dirt accumulation.
Are these suitable for sports or running?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Real Madrid trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance sports like running or intensive training. Their construction prioritizes style and comfort for everyday use.
How can I protect the color of the suede from fading?
To prevent color fading, store your trainers away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regular cleaning and the use of a suede protector spray can also help maintain the vibrant color of the suede over time.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole of these trainers is made from classic durable rubber, providing reliable traction and long-lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This restores the texture and vibrancy of the suede.
Trainers are stained with liquid or dirt
For fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Unpleasant odor from trainers
Remove insoles if possible and air out the trainers. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (then vacuum out) to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are completely dry before storage.
Soles feel slippery or lose grip
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.

Care Instructions
The suede material requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity:
- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a soft brush (a suede brush is ideal) to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution applied with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Stain Removal:
- For fresh liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub.
- For dried stains, a suede eraser can often lift them.
- Protection:
- Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Drying:
- If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuff the inside with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
