FAQs
Are these Gazelle trainers suitable for sports?
While the Gazelle was originally designed as a multipurpose training shoe, this kids' version is primarily intended for streetwear and casual everyday wear. For intense sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs or stains. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product instructions. Avoid excessive water.
What is an OrthoLite sockliner?
OrthoLite sockliners are insoles made from open-cell foam. They provide superior cushioning, breathability to keep feet cool, and moisture management, contributing to overall foot comfort and hygiene.
Can my child wear these in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Rain can stain, darken, and potentially damage the suede. If worn in light moisture, ensure they are dried properly. For heavy rain, we recommend waterproof footwear.
What is the significance of the '1991 look'?
The '1991 look' refers to specific design elements from that era, including archival colorways, a slightly thicker outsole, and a wider toe box, differentiating it from earlier Gazelle versions and offering a distinct vintage aesthetic.
Are replacement laces available?
Info needed: Specific information on replacement laces for this model is not provided. Typically, you can find generic replacement laces in similar colors and lengths at shoe stores or online.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.
Shoes feel less comfortable or start to smell.
The OrthoLite sockliner is designed for breathability. Remove the sockliner (if possible) and air it out. You can gently hand wash it with mild soap and water, ensuring it's completely dry before reinserting. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers.
Shoes got wet and appear stained or stiff.
Do not rub. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to re-fluff the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be needed.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Gazelle trainers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a damp, clean cloth with a small amount of mild suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully immerse suede trainers in water, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
