FAQs
Can I machine wash my velvet Gazelle Indoor sneakers?
No, you should never machine wash velvet sneakers. The material is delicate and can be easily damaged by machine washing. Always follow the specific care instructions for velvet, primarily gentle spot cleaning and air drying.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers are designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe, not for performance sports like running or training. Their construction and velvet material are not suited for athletic activities.
How do I protect my velvet sneakers from water and stains?
You can use a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for delicate fabrics or velvet. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't alter the color or texture of the velvet.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The 'Indoor' version typically features a slightly different sole unit, often a gum rubber sole, and sometimes different material compositions or paneling compared to the classic Gazelle. While both are lifestyle shoes today, the 'Indoor' originally referred to a specific design for indoor sports.
How do I know what size to order?
Adidas Gazelle sneakers generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Always refer to Adidas's official size guide if available.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
It is strongly advised to avoid wearing your velvet Gazelle Indoor sneakers in the rain or wet conditions. Velvet can get matted and damaged when wet, and it may be difficult to restore its original look.
Troubleshooting
Velvet looks matted or flattened.
Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a very soft toothbrush) in the direction of the nap to restore its plush appearance.
There's a visible stain on the velvet.
Do not rub. Blot the stain gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth mixed with a tiny amount of mild, pH-neutral soap. Allow to air dry. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If they are new, wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If discomfort persists, consider checking your size or using thin shoe inserts.
Sole has lost its grip.
Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove dirt and debris that can reduce traction. Use a brush and soapy water. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be time to consider replacement.

Care Instructions for Velvet
Velvet is a delicate material that requires specific care to maintain its plush texture and vibrant colour.
- Regular Dusting: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or a soft toothbrush) to gently brush away dust and loose dirt in the direction of the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a clean, slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap. Gently blot the stain, being careful not to rub, which can damage the velvet pile.
- Drying: Always allow velvet to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer.
- Avoid Water: Do not submerge your velvet sneakers in water or put them in a washing machine.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for delicate fabrics or velvet. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
