Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
These trainers feature a standard lace closure. To set them up for first use:
- Unlace the shoes sufficiently to allow your child's foot to slide in comfortably.
- Ensure their heel is seated firmly at the back of the shoe.
- Lace them up, ensuring the fit is snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
- Double-knot for added security during active play.
Compatibility
The adidas Originals Gazelle PS is designed for younger kids and is unisex, suitable for all children. This specific model is available in UK size 13. Ensure to check your child's current shoe size against adidas's sizing chart for the best fit, as shoe sizes can vary between brands. The classic design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles.
Care
To maintain the look and longevity of your premium leather Gazelle PS trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can dry out and crack the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if they become soiled.
