FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

While durable, these are built with specific skate-focused reinforcements that may feel stiffer than standard lifestyle sneakers.

How do I clean the green material?

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, and spot clean with a damp cloth using minimal mild detergent.

Do these fit true to size?

They generally follow standard adult sizing, but the moulded sockliner creates a snug fit, so you may prefer your standard size or a half-size up if you prefer more room.

Can I replace the sockliner?

The moulded sockliner is designed for an optimized fit; however, it can be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotics.

What makes these different from regular Gazelles?

This version features skate-specific upgrades like higher foxing tape, a double-layered toe, and a specialized grippy outsole.

Troubleshooting

Outer sole losing traction

Clean the bottom of the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt build-up that masks grip.

Discomfort or pinching at the toe

Ensure the shoe size is correct and allow a brief break-in period for the double-layered toe materials to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gazelle trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the green color. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesive and materials used in the construction. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension to take full advantage of the moulded sockliner's supportive fit.
