FAQs
What does 'Indoor' in Gazelle Indoor refer to?
The 'Indoor' designation pays homage to the original Gazelle design, which was developed for indoor sports training. While these shoes retain that heritage look and feel, they are now primarily designed and worn as a stylish casual trainer for everyday use rather than for competitive indoor sports.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the upper features a combination of genuine leather and synthetic materials. The leather is sourced through the Leather Working Group (LWG), indicating a commitment to sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes feature a 'Regular Fit'. It's generally recommended to choose your standard adidas trainer size. If you are unsure, refer to adidas' official size guide, often found on their website, and measure your foot length.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's integrity. Always allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.
How should I clean the translucent gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Gently scrub away dirt and grime, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic activities?
While the Gazelle has roots in sport, the Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle shoe. It is not engineered with the advanced cushioning and support technologies required for modern running or high-impact athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears scuffed or dull.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for the color of your shoes. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If new, wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using a shoe stretcher if discomfort persists in specific areas.
Squeaky noise when walking.
Check if the insole is rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting it, or place a thin layer of baby powder underneath. If the sole itself squeaks, it might be due to moisture; ensure shoes are completely dry.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic upper, gently wipe dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush and mild soap with water to clean the rubber outsole. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.

- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
