FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are designed as lifestyle footwear for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water saturation and do not machine wash.
What is the fit like?
These trainers offer a regular fit. It is recommended to check sizing guides and consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit for your foot.
How do I care for the rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the sole is dry before storing the trainers.
What does 'honours the 1991 version' mean?
It means the design closely replicates the materials, colorways, and slightly wider proportions of the Gazelle model released in 1991, offering an authentic retro feel.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for very wet conditions as it can stain and be damaged. Using a suede protector spray can help mitigate this, but avoiding heavy rain is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede looking dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to restore its nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Replace laces as needed. For cleaning, hand-wash them separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Sole becoming detached
Minor sole detachment can sometimes be repaired by a professional cobbler. For significant damage, contact customer support for warranty options.
Discomfort or poor fit
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
