FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor shoes were originally designed for indoor training but are now primarily a streetwear fashion staple. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I clean the translucent gum sole?
To clean the gum sole, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the sole to remove dirt, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. For added protection, you can apply a suitable leather protector spray.
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
'LWG leather' refers to leather sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group. This organization audits and certifies leather manufacturers based on their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible practices within the leather industry.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes like the Gazelle Indoor. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow manual cleaning and care instructions.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes come in a `regular fit`. We recommend trying them on or consulting the official adidas size chart if you're unsure. If you own other adidas sneakers, your usual size is often a good starting point.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
While both are classic adidas models, the Gazelle Indoor typically features a distinctive `translucent gum sole` that wraps around the shoe and often has a slightly different material composition or detailing compared to the standard Gazelle, which might feature a solid rubber sole.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the leather thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild leather cleaner, then apply a quality leather conditioner to moisturize and restore its luster.
Squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes, the insole may rub against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with cornstarch or baby powder, then reinserting the insole.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a proper double knot. You might also consider replacing the laces with a slightly different material or texture that offers better grip.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
As leather shoes, they may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, check your sizing.

For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. - Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather. - Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. - Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
