FAQs
Can I wear these adidas Gazelle trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede is susceptible to water damage, staining, and can be difficult to restore once thoroughly soaked. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance against light moisture.
How do I clean the white 3-Stripes and gold Liverpool FC lettering?
For the 3-Stripes, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and gently wipe them clean. For the gold lettering, use a slightly damp cloth with plain water and wipe very gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing on any branding.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?
No, these adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not engineered for athletic performance activities such as running, intense sports, or rigorous training.
What is the best way to store my suede trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture.
How often should I reapply suede protector?
It is generally recommended to apply a suede protector before the first wear and then reapply every few months, or more frequently if the trainers are worn often or exposed to challenging weather conditions. Always follow the specific instructions on your chosen protector product.
Do these Gazelle trainers fit true to size?
Adidas Gazelle models typically fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal foot shape and preference can vary. If you are unsure, it's advisable to consult a size guide or try them on.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, washing machines are too harsh for suede and can cause permanent damage, shrinkage, color bleeding, and structural issues. Always clean suede trainers by hand as outlined in the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted down.
Use a soft suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps lift the fibers and restore the original texture and appearance.
Small scuffs or light marks on the suede.
Gently rub the affected area with a suede eraser or a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.
Trainers feel uncomfortably tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening to achieve a more personalized and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if necessary. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Trainers develop an unpleasant odor.
Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray. Always wear socks to help absorb moisture and reduce odor buildup.
Squeaking sound from the sole when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede trainers.
- Cleaning Suede:
- Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, gently rub the area with a specialized suede eraser or a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. If the trainers get wet, blot excess moisture with a clean, absorbent cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Cleaning Synthetic/Textile Lining: Wipe the interior gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning Rubber Sole: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to the entire upper before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help preserve their original shape and absorb moisture.
