FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle trainers are known to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
How do I properly clean the brown leather upper?
For routine cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple.
Can I wear these trainers for sports or running?
No, these adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not intended for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports.
Is the Manchester United branding on the shoe permanent?
Yes, the Manchester United club crest on the heel and branding on the sidewalls are an integral part of the trainer's design and cannot be removed.
What is the sole made of?
The trainers feature a durable gum rubber sole, which provides excellent traction and contributes to their classic, retro aesthetic.
How do I prevent the leather from cracking?
To prevent cracking, regularly clean your leather trainers and apply a leather conditioner. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, and use shoe trees when storing them.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore its luster.
Stubborn stains on the leather
For light stains, try a leather cleaner designed for spot treatment. For more severe stains, consult a professional leather cleaning service. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Creasing or wrinkles forming on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their original shape. Avoid over-tightening laces which can exacerbate creasing.
Slippery sole traction
Clean the gum rubber sole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. If the sole is worn smooth, consider professional resoling if possible.
Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers
Remove insoles if possible and allow the trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar shoe balls/trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the quality and longevity of your leather Gazelle trainers requires specific care:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Protect from Elements: Treat the leather with a protective spray designed for leather footwear to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Conditioning: Every few months, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a clean cloth to apply and buff gently.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to clean the gum rubber sole. For stubborn dirt, a specialized sole cleaner can be used.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air out the trainers. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Never put leather trainers in a washing machine, as this can severely damage the material and adhesives.
