FAQs
Are adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle activities. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intensive running or high-performance sports.
How do I clean the suede upper of my Gazelle Trainers?
To clean the suede, first use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the material.
What materials are these trainers made from?
The upper is crafted from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, giving it the signature smooth suede look. The outsole is made from durable rubber for traction and longevity.
Is the sizing accurate for UK shoe sizes?
While these trainers are listed in UK sizes, please be aware that the size indicated on the shoe's box or label might show US/Euro sizes, which can differ from the UK equivalent. Always try on the footwear to ensure the correct fit before keeping them.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
The suede upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing your Gazelle Trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the material from damage and potential discoloration. You can apply a suede protector spray for light water resistance.
How can I protect the suede from stains?
For best protection against stains and light moisture, it is recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray to your trainers before their first wear and periodically thereafter. Always follow the specific product instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected area and restore the nap. For tougher dirt, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions.
Trainers feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size, as US/Euro sizes on the label may differ.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by trapped moisture. Try airing out the shoes thoroughly. If it persists, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
Poor traction on smooth or wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris that might reduce grip. While the rubber outsole provides good traction, these trainers are not designed for extreme wet or icy conditions.
