FAQs
What makes CORDURA® fabric special?
CORDURA® fabric is known for its exceptional durability, high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to tears, abrasions, and water. It's designed for products that require long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle activities. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running and may lack the necessary cushioning and support for intense athletic training.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing guide available online. Measure your foot length accurately and compare it to the provided chart. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
Yes, the CORDURA® fabric provides water resistance, making them suitable for light rain and damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.
What is the difference between these and standard Gazelle trainers?
The primary difference is the material. These Gazelle trainers utilize CORDURA® fabric for enhanced durability and water resistance, whereas standard Gazelles typically use suede or leather.
How should I clean the bronze and brown parts?
Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains on the CORDURA® fabric, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be used. Ensure thorough rinsing and air drying.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. If possible, try on a pair in-store or check customer reviews regarding fit. Consider the thickness of socks you typically wear.
Water resistance seems reduced over time
Ensure the CORDURA® fabric has not been damaged. Reapplication of a suitable fabric protector spray might help restore water repellency, but follow product instructions carefully.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a durable pair of similar length. Consider waxed laces for increased durability and a cleaner look.
Material appears stiff
This is characteristic of CORDURA® fabric. Wear the shoes regularly for a short period to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.

Care:
To maintain the CORDURA® fabric and overall appearance:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and marks. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve their shape and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees if storing for extended periods.
- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or in a wash bag on a gentle cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
