FAQs

Are these Gazelle trainers true to size?

No, the product description notes that these trainers are small fitting. It is recommended that you may require a larger size than your usual for an optimal fit.

How should I clean the suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always let them air dry naturally.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While minor exposure to dampness is usually fine, suede is not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions as it can stain and become damaged. Applying a suede protector spray is advisable.

What kind of sole do these trainers have?

They feature a wide rubber outsole with a shallow tread, designed for comfort and everyday grip on typical urban surfaces.

Are the adidas stripes on the side white?

Yes, this specific model features white contrast stripes against the brown suede upper.

What are the main comfort features?

The trainers include inner padding and a secure lacing system designed to provide a comfortable and snug fit for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too small or tight.

These trainers are noted to be small fitting. If they feel uncomfortable, consider exchanging them for a half or full size larger. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Suede looks dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, a suede eraser or specialized cleaner should be applied carefully according to product instructions.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The trainers feature a shallow tread. Exercise caution on wet or very smooth surfaces, as the grip may be reduced compared to shoes with deeper, more aggressive tread patterns. These are best suited for dry, urban environments.

Discoloration or fading of suede.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. For protection, apply a suede protector spray. If fading occurs, specialized suede dyes might be used by a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First-Time Wear & Fit

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Try-On: Always try on your trainers indoors on a clean surface. Due to their small fitting, you might find your usual size feels snug. Consider trying a half or full size larger if they feel too tight.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The inner padding works best when the lacing isn't overly tight or loose.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Their classic design and neutral brown and white colour scheme make them an excellent match for various clothing styles and colours.

Care & Maintenance

  • Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction. For tougher spots, a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Stain Prevention: Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear to guard against water and stains.
  • Drying: If wet, allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the suede.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
