Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the Gazelle C/DURA trainers waterproof?

They feature water-repellent Cordura fabric, which helps shed light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

How does the sizing compare to standard Gazelles?

They generally fit true to size, though the reinforced materials may feel slightly more snug than the all-suede versions.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Spot cleaning is highly recommended.

What is the primary material difference in this version?

This version uses heavy-duty Cordura textile for the quarter panels instead of the traditional nylon or leather, providing superior abrasion resistance.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they are inspired by 1960s football training shoes, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual streetwear use today.

Troubleshooting

Suede sections showing signs of water spots or light dirt

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft brush to gently buff the affected area once dry; avoid using excess water.

Shoes feel too stiff during the first wear

Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow the Cordura and suede to soften naturally to your foot shape.

Gum sole accumulating debris

Use a toothpick or a small stiff brush to clear gravel or debris from the grooves of the outsole to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gazelle C/DURA trainers stay in optimal condition, treat the suede areas with a protective spray suitable for leather before the first wear to prevent staining. For the Cordura sections, wipe away mud or surface dirt with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush for the suede to lift dirt without damaging the nap. If the laces become worn, they are easily replaceable with any standard flat cotton athletic lace. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen and the rubber to dry out.
