FAQs

How do I best clean the suede material?

To clean the suede, gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For spots, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions, and always allow to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor is designed for casual wear and style. While they originated from an 'indoor training' design, they are not intended for high-performance running or athletic sports in a modern context.

What does 'LWG leather' mean?

'LWG leather' stands for Leather Working Group certified leather. This certification indicates that the leather production process meets environmental performance standards, promoting sustainable and responsible practices within the leather industry.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Gazelle Indoor features a regular fit, and generally, most customers find them to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If possible, trying them on is recommended.

Can I wear my Gazelle Indoor sneakers in the rain?

It is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions like heavy rain. Water can stain, discolour, and potentially damage the suede. Applying a water-repellent suede protector spray can offer some defense against light moisture.

What is the translucent gum sole made of?

The translucent gum sole is made of rubber. This type of outsole is known for its grip and durability, contributing to the shoe's comfortable and authentic retro feel.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned throughout the eyelets for a comfortable and secure fit. If issues persist, verify size suitability.

Minor scuffs or marks on the gum sole

Gently clean the translucent gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

Regularly air out your shoes after wear. Insert shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees when not in use to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Care

The suede material of your Gazelle Indoor shoes requires specific care to maintain their appearance and longevity. Follow these tips:

  1. Suede Brush: Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser. For more stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner (following product instructions) can be used with a clean cloth.
  3. Protection Spray: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains, offering an essential layer of defense against the elements.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing your Gazelles in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material.
  5. Air Drying: If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
  6. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees, to help retain their shape and prevent creasing.
  7. LWG Leather: The use of Leather Working Group (LWG) certified leather means the leather was produced in an environmentally responsible manner. While this indicates ethical sourcing, the care requirements for suede remain the same.
