FAQs
Are the adidas Originals Gazelle suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear and general comfort. It does not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush for routine cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth, blotting gently. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does the '1991 reissue' mean?
It signifies that this shoe is a reproduction of the original Gazelle model released in 1991, aiming to maintain the same design, silhouette, and colorways as the vintage version.
Is the Ortholite sockliner removable?
While typically integrated for comfort, the Ortholite sockliner is generally not designed to be removed. It contributes to the shoe's overall cushioning.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede material and potentially lead to staining or misshaping.
What is the main difference between this and other Gazelle models?
This model is a reissue of the 1991 design, focusing on historical accuracy. Variations may exist in materials, colorways, and subtle design tweaks across different Gazelle releases.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush away loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid water saturation.
Shoes feel slightly tight.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the suede to mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Laces wear out or break.
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Many sporting goods stores offer replacement laces.
