The adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers require no special setup. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, slip them on, and adjust the lacing for a comfortable fit.

They are highly compatible with casual and smart-casual attire, complementing jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. Their timeless design makes them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Care Instructions
General Cleaning:
- For light dust or dirt, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently brush away debris.
- Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
Spot Cleaning Suede:
- For minor marks, use a suede eraser (often looks like a block of rubber) to gently rub away the stain.
- For more stubborn stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth and dab gently. Avoid saturating the suede.
Protecting Suede:
- It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Avoid wearing suede in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material.
Cleaning the Gum Sole:
- Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to clean the rubber outsole.
- For scuffs, a magic eraser or specialized sneaker sole cleaner can be effective.
Storage:
- Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
