FAQs

How do I clean the velvet material on my Gazelle Indoor sneakers?

For light dirt, gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For stains, blot carefully with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneaker is designed for casual wear and style, not for high-performance sports, running, or rigorous athletic activities.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is strongly recommended to avoid wearing these sneakers in wet conditions, including rain or puddles, as velvet is highly susceptible to water damage and staining.

Do Gazelle Indoor sneakers fit true to size?

Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. We recommend referring to standard UK sizing for the best fit.

How should I store my velvet Gazelle sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can stuff them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Is the rubber outsole durable?

Yes, the Gazelle Indoor features a durable rubber outsole designed to provide good grip and withstand regular casual wear on various urban surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Velvet appears matted or dull.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush, always in the direction of the nap, to restore its texture and shine.

Small stains on the velvet upper.

Blot the stain very gently with a clean, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not rub. Allow to air dry completely. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Try different types of socks (thicker or thinner) to adjust the fit. Break in new shoes with short periods of wear around the house.

Care Instructions for Velvet

Maintaining the plush velvet upper requires specific attention to ensure its longevity and appearance:

  1. Gentle Brushing: For light dust or surface dirt, use a soft-bristled brush (such as a velvet brush or a very soft toothbrush) to gently brush the velvet in one direction. Always brush with the nap of the fabric to maintain its smooth appearance.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For small, isolated stains, lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water (or a specialized velvet cleaner if recommended by a professional). Gently blot the affected area; do not rub vigorously, as this can crush the nap and damage the velvet. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Avoid Water Immersion: Velvet is highly susceptible to water damage, which can leave permanent marks or alter the texture. Do not submerge the shoes in water or use harsh liquid cleaners. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
  4. Protection: Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for velvet or delicate fabrics. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not alter the color or texture.
  5. Storage: Store your Gazelle Indoor sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Stuffing the shoes with acid-free tissue paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
