FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

Yes, while designed for skateboarding, the enhanced support and grip make them excellent for everyday walking and casual use.

Do these Gazelle trainers run true to size?

They generally run true to size, but the performance-focused design and thicker materials may result in a snugger fit compared to non-skate versions.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and structural components.

What is the purpose of the higher foxing tape?

The higher foxing tape provides additional durability and protects the sides of the shoe from wear and tear during skateboarding tricks.

Is the sockliner removable?

The moulded sockliner is designed for an elevated fit and is typically integrated to maintain support, so it is not intended to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The moulded sockliner and structured upper require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Outer material showing dirt or dust

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. For minor spots, use a lightly dampened cloth without harsh cleaning agents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increased durability due to double-layered toe cap
  • Excellent grip for skateboarding and urban walking
  • Enhanced arch and heel support from the moulded sockliner
  • Robust construction with high foxing tape

Cons

  • May feel more rigid than traditional fashion-only sneakers
  • Green colorway requires specific outfit coordination
  • Sizing can feel snug due to the structured support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gazelle trainers remain in top condition, it is recommended to keep them clean by wiping the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water, as this may degrade the structural integrity of the materials. Because these are performance-oriented, the fit should feel secure around the midfoot; if you prefer a looser fit, consider adjusting the lacing tension before use. These shoes are compatible with standard flat or athletic laces and are best paired with mid-weight socks for optimal comfort.
