FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, everyday use and does not provide the performance cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the blue suede?
Avoid water. Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently remove stains.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they feature a standard regular fit, but we recommend choosing your usual size for the best experience.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is strongly advised against. Machine washing can damage the suede material and affect the integrity of the shoe's construction.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a clean, soft-bristled brush to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Light scuffs on the rubber outsole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the rubber edges, then dry immediately with a clean towel.
Shoes feeling too tight
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and check that the tongue is centered to allow for proper volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple steps:
- Break-in Period: While they offer a regular fit, allow for a few wears for the suede to soften and contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Weatherproofing: Consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray if you live in a climate with frequent rain.
