FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and retro style. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I clean the nubuck leather upper?
For best results, use a soft brush designed for nubuck to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized nubuck/suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow to air dry.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. For this specific variant, the size is UK 12.5.
Is the translucent gum sole durable?
Yes, the gum sole is designed for durability and comfort in everyday use. Its construction provides reliable traction for casual urban environments.
What is the significance of 'Indoor' in the name?
'Indoor' refers to the original Gazelle design's roots as an indoor training shoe. While they retain the aesthetic and comfort of the original, these modern trainers are optimized for casual, daily wear rather than athletic performance.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The nubuck leather upper offers limited water resistance. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and maintain the shoe's appearance. A protective spray can enhance water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Nubuck leather looks dirty or scuffed
Gently brush with a nubuck brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Sole feels slippery
Clean the translucent gum sole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or grime that might be affecting traction.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the lacing system to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques for optimal comfort.
