FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These Y-3 Gazelle trainers are designed for style and comfort in everyday wear. While they offer good support, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow the suede to dry naturally.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, suede is sensitive to moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for suede.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size for a standard trainer. The lace-up closure allows for adjustability. It's always recommended to check sizing guides and consider trying them on if possible.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags which can trap moisture.

What is the main difference between the leather and suede parts?

The leather provides a smooth, durable surface, while the suede offers a softer texture and a more premium finish. Both contribute to the shoe's overall aesthetic and comfort.

Do these trainers feature the Adidas three stripes?

Yes, these trainers feature the signature Adidas three stripes, subtly integrated into the design for an authentic look.

Troubleshooting

Suede losing its texture

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush in consistent strokes. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and color. Many athletic or shoe stores carry replacements.

Slight stiffness initially

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to break them in. The leather and suede will naturally conform to your foot shape over time.

Color transfer from suede

Ensure suede is properly treated and dry. Wear with dark socks initially, especially if the suede is new or has been treated with a conditioner, to minimize potential transfer.
