FAQs

Are these Gazelle Bold Trainers true to size?

Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. However, individual foot shapes can vary.

Can I wear these trainers for sports or running?

No, the adidas Gazelle Bold Trainers are designed for fashion and casual everyday wear, not for athletic performance or running. Their construction and platform sole are optimized for style and comfort in casual settings.

How high is the platform sole?

The platform sole adds a significant, noticeable lift to the traditional Gazelle silhouette. Info needed: specific platform height measurement in cm/inches.

What's the best way to protect the leather from water stains?

Before wearing them for the first time, apply a high-quality leather protector spray. Reapply periodically according to the product's instructions, especially during wet weather. Always allow wet shoes to air dry naturally.

Is the textile lining removable for cleaning?

The textile lining is typically integrated and not designed to be easily removed. For cleaning the interior, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then allow it to air dry completely.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Gazelle silhouette generally offers a regular fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you might find them snug initially, but the leather may stretch slightly over time with wear. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Creases forming in the leather.

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing and regularly condition the leather to maintain its suppleness.

Platform sole looks dirty or scuffed.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution or a specialized sole cleaner to gently scrub away dirt and scuffs. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Trainers feel too stiff.

New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet.

Shoes make a squeaking sound.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder, and then replacing the insole. If the issue persists, Info needed: further investigation into material friction points.

Care Instructions for Leather

To ensure your leather Gazelle Bold Trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care steps:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust after each wear.
  • Deep Cleaning (as needed): For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. This is especially important if the leather appears dry.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, particularly before first wear.
  • Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
  • Platform Sole Care: Clean the gum sole with a soft brush and mild soap solution to remove dirt and scuffs, restoring its clean appearance.
