FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for sports or running?
While the Adidas Gazelle has roots as a training shoe, the 'Indoor' variant and its modern construction are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance sports or running.
How do I protect the suede from water damage?
It is highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede and leather sneakers as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.
What is the difference between the Gazelle Indoor and the classic Gazelle?
The primary distinction is the outsole. The Gazelle Indoor features a signature rubber gum outsole, whereas the classic Gazelle typically has a white or lighter-colored rubber sole. The Indoor version often has slightly different material overlays or construction details as well, such as the snakeskin overlays on this particular model.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. For the best fit, it's often recommended to try them on or refer to Adidas's official size guide if available.
How often should I clean my Gazelle Indoor sneakers?
Regular, light cleaning with a suede brush should be done after every few wears to remove dust. Deeper cleaning for stains or scuffs should be performed as needed to maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a consistent direction for best results.
Stains on the suede are difficult to remove.
For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Follow the product instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers designed for suede or taking them to a professional shoe repair specialist for advice on stretching.
Gum sole looks dirty and discolored.
Clean the rubber gum outsole regularly using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium suede and leather components of your Gazelle Indoor sneakers.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede and leather protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For general dust and light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction.
- For tougher marks on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution and follow the product's instructions carefully.
- For the leather lining and any synthetic components, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Stain Removal: Address stains immediately. Dab, don't rub, with a clean cloth. For oil-based stains on suede, a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder can absorb the oil overnight before brushing it off.
- Drying: If your sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the suede and leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
- Outsole Care: Clean the rubber gum outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
Always refer to any specific care instructions provided on the product packaging or tags.
