Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unboxing: Remove trainers from packaging.
- Try On: Ensure the UK 5.5 size offers a comfortable fit. Allow for a short *break-in period* for the suede to fully conform to your foot.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from denim to tracksuits, or even tailored shorts.
- Activity: Best suited for daily wear, urban exploration, and social outings. Not recommended for high-impact sports or extreme weather conditions due to material choice.
Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your Gazelle Indoor Trainers.
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede): Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
- Lining Care: Wipe the durable leather lining periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary), then allow to air dry.
- Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, *do not* use direct heat. Stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
