adidas Gazelle Indoor - Crew Yellow Gum - UK 11

No, while the `leather` upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the material and maintain their appearance.

The 'Indoor' designation pays homage to the original Gazelle Indoor design, which was developed for indoor sports like handball. Today, it primarily refers to a specific aesthetic, often characterized by the gum sole, and these sneakers are suitable for everyday casual wear rather than specific indoor sports activities.

These shoes are listed as UK size 11 for men. Adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size, but we recommend consulting the official adidas size chart and measuring your foot to ensure the best fit.

The adidas Gazelle Indoor is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker, emphasizing style and comfort for daily wear. It is not engineered for high-performance sports, running, or intensive physical activities.

The upper part of the shoe is made from `100% leather`, and the sole is made from `100% rubber`, ensuring both durability and a classic look.

For the `Crew Yellow Gum` leather, use a soft, damp cloth for light cleaning. For deeper cleaning or to maintain the color, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for colored leather, following the product instructions carefully.

Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner to moisturize and restore its natural sheen.

Ensure the insoles are seated correctly within the shoe. If the shoes are new, some rubber soles can be noisy initially on certain surfaces; this often subsides with regular wear. Sometimes a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.

Verify you have the correct UK size 11 for your foot by checking an adidas size chart. Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure points, or consider wearing thinner socks. Leather can also stretch slightly with wear, improving comfort over time.

Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with warm water and a mild soap to scrub away dirt and stains from the `rubber sole`. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning solution can be effective.
