FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
No, adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and style, not for athletic performance or high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These trainers are noted as small fitting. We recommend trying them on with your usual socks. Ensure your toes have a small amount of room and there are no uncomfortable pressure points. If in doubt, consider trying half a size or a full size larger than your usual fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to rain can stain or damage the material. It's recommended to apply a suede-specific waterproofing spray for protection and avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What's the best way to clean the suede?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaning products are available. Always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Is the outsole non-slip?
The rubber outsole provides standard traction for urban and casual surfaces. While it offers good grip for general use, it is not specifically designed as a 'non-slip' safety sole for highly slippery environments.
Do I need to break them in?
While the inner padding offers immediate comfort, some users may find a short break-in period beneficial, especially given the 'small fitting' characteristic, to allow the suede and sole to mold to your foot shape.
What if the UK size on the box is different from the label inside?
Due to international sizing conversions (US/Euro), the label inside the shoe or on the box might display different numbers. Always prioritize the UK size you ordered and how the shoe physically feels on your foot for the correct fit.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The product is noted as small fitting. Ensure you tried a larger size if needed. Try wearing them for short periods to break them in, or consider professional stretching if the discomfort persists and they are the correct length.
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers and revive the texture.
Stains on the suede material.
For fresh, light stains, use a suede eraser. For more stubborn or oil-based stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaning kit, following instructions carefully and testing on an inconspicuous area.
Trainers are losing their shape.
Use shoe trees when storing the trainers to help maintain their original form. Avoid stuffing them tightly into storage spaces.
Outsole grip feels insufficient.
The shallow tread is designed for casual urban surfaces. For activities requiring aggressive grip or in very wet conditions, consider footwear with deeper, more specialized tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove your new Gazelle trainers from their packaging.
- Initial Try-On: Try on both trainers with the type of socks you typically wear.
- Check Fit: Pay close attention to the fit, especially given the "small fitting" note. Ensure there is adequate room at the toes and no excessive pressure points. If you feel any discomfort, you may require a larger size.
- Lacing: Lace them up securely, but not too tightly, to achieve optimal comfort and support.
- Size Confirmation: Before discarding packaging or wearing outside, confirm the fit. Remember that box or label sizes (US/Euro) may differ from UK sizing, so trust the feel on your foot.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede Gazelle trainers:
- Regular Cleaning:
- Brush: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Stains: For minor scuffs or dried mud, gently rub with a suede eraser.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection:
- Waterproofing Spray: Apply a suede-specific waterproofing spray before first use and reapply periodically to protect against moisture and stains.
- Drying:
- If trainers 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 sources or sunlight.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
