FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While the Gazelle Indoor has roots in training, it is now primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. It is not designed for high-performance running or intense sports activities. They are best suited for casual wear and light walking.

How do I determine my size?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor generally runs true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. Refer to the adidas size chart for precise measurements if you are unsure.

What does 'LWG certified leather' mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certified leather indicates that the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified for their environmental performance, promoting more sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain or get damaged. While the rubber sole provides some protection, it's best to avoid heavy rain or snow. If they do get wet, follow the drying instructions in the care section.

What is the difference between the 'Gazelle' and 'Gazelle Indoor'?

The 'Gazelle Indoor' specifically refers to the design originally released in 1971 for indoor training. It typically features a distinctive translucent gum sole and a slightly different silhouette compared to other Gazelle variations. The standard Gazelle often has a solid rubber sole and slightly different upper construction.

How do I protect the gold foil lettering from wearing off?

To protect the gold foil details, avoid abrasive cleaning methods on these areas. Gentle wiping with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. Excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals can cause the foil to fade or peel.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and vibrancy of the suede. Brush in one direction.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended use to allow them to conform to your foot.

Translucent gum sole looks dirty or discolored.

Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. For tougher marks, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or similar product can be used gently.

Laces frequently come undone.

Try using a double knot when tying your laces, or consider replacing the laces with a different material or texture that provides better grip.

Care Instructions

  1. Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove debris. For stubborn stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning Leather/Synthetic: Wipe the metallic leather and synthetic areas with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild shoe cleaner designed for leather and synthetics.
  3. Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip. The translucent gum sole may require more frequent cleaning to keep its clear appearance.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede and leather protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to water or dirt.
  5. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  6. Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and direct light. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
