FAQs
What materials are used in the ADIDAS ORIGINALS Gazelle Indoor Shoes?
The shoes feature a premium suede upper with snakeskin overlays, a comfortable leather lining, and an Indoor rubber gum outsole.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While originally conceived for indoor training, these Gazelle Indoor shoes are now primarily designed for casual wear and style. For intensive athletic activities, dedicated sports footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the white suede upper?
For white suede, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water and harsh cleaners. For significant stains, professional cleaning is advisable.
What is the difference between the 'Gazelle' and 'Gazelle Indoor' models?
The primary distinction for the 'Gazelle Indoor' is its signature rubber gum outsole, which offers a different aesthetic and feel compared to the standard Gazelle's white sole.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
It is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
Do these shoes run true to size?
ADIDAS Gazelle models typically run true to size. For this specific variant, it is a UK size 7 for adult males. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size guide for UK sizing is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has minor scuffs
Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub the affected area in one direction to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For scuffs, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Shoes are stained or dirty
For light stains, dab gently with a clean, damp cloth (not wet) and a small amount of suede cleaner, if available. For stubborn stains, it's recommended to consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot. A 'surgeon's knot' or 'double knot' can provide extra security. You can also experiment with different lacing patterns that offer a tighter hold.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Sometimes a new gum sole can squeak on smooth surfaces. This often reduces with wear. If persistent, try lightly dusting the inside of the shoe or the sole with baby powder to reduce friction, ensuring the powder doesn't affect traction on the outsole.

They are designed for adult wearers, specifically men in UK size 7 for this variant. Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium suede and leather components. Always follow the specific care instructions provided with the shoes. Generally, for suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can stain and damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regular cleaning will preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan.
