FAQs
How do I clean my Gazelle shoes, especially the suede?
For the suede upper, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Never machine wash or submerge suede shoes in water. For the rubber outsole, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Are these shoes suitable for all-weather wear?
As they feature a suede upper, these Gazelle shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Suede can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water and moisture. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance but won't make them fully waterproof.
What is the OrthoLite sockliner?
The OrthoLite sockliner is an advanced insole technology that provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. It helps ensure long-lasting comfort and keeps your feet feeling fresh inside the shoe.
Are adidas Originals Gazelle true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models are considered true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The dimpled rubber outsole is designed for everyday wear and provides good traction on various surfaces. Its durability will depend on the frequency of use and the types of surfaces you regularly walk on. With proper care, it offers reliable performance.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for suede uppers. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the suede, alter the shoe's shape, and compromise its overall integrity. Always opt for hand-cleaning methods specific to suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of a suede cleaner to a clean cloth and blot the stained area. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel less comfortable over time or have an odor.
The OrthoLite sockliner is designed for lasting comfort, but over time, insoles can compress. Consider replacing them with new insoles if comfort significantly decreases. For odor, remove insoles and air out shoes. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
Outsole losing grip or showing wear.
Regularly clean the dimpled rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If the outsole shows significant wear or damage, it might be time to consider professional shoe repair or replacement.

Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the pristine look of your suede Gazelle shoes requires regular care.
- Brush Regularly: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and restore the nap of the suede. Always brush in one direction.
- Spot Clean Stains: For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently dab the stain. Allow to air dry.
- Protect from Moisture: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Apply a waterproof spray protector designed for suede before first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
- Clean Outsoles: Wipe the dimpled rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Storage: Store your Gazelle shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
