FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, these are designed to fit standard UK 8.5 sizing, but the platform construction may feel more snug initially due to the padding.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the structural integrity of the platform sole.
Is the sole flexible?
The platform gum sole is thicker and firmer than a standard sneaker sole, offering less flexibility than a traditional Gazelle.
What is the primary material?
The upper is crafted from high-quality premium suede with leather detailing for the 3-Stripes.
Are these suitable for sports?
These are considered lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear, not performance athletic activities.
Does the green stripe bleed onto the beige suede?
Under normal wearing conditions, the dyes are stable; however, avoid soaking the shoes as moisture can occasionally cause dye transfer.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing light water marks.
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in the shade, then use a clean suede brush to buff the nap back into position.
The platform sole feels slippery on certain floors.
Wipe the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated grime or dust that might be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle Bold trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Because of the sturdy construction, you may need to wear them for a few short sessions to allow the suede and padded collar to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust. Avoid getting the shoes soaked in water, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to protect against accidental spills and light moisture.
