FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Gazelle typically follows a standard regular fit. It is recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash suede trainers as it can damage the material and the adhesive on the sole.
What is the best way to protect the suede?
Applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray prior to your first wear can help provide a protective barrier.
Is the sole flexible?
The rubber outsole provides a good balance of flexibility and grip, making it suitable for walking on various urban surfaces.
Does the colour fade?
Like most dyed suede products, excessive exposure to direct sunlight over long periods may cause slight fading. Storing them in a cool, dark place when not in use helps preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Water spots or light stains on suede
Allow the shoes to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently buff the area to restore the nap.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in a mixture of mild soap and warm water, then rinse and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear with a standard lace-up closure. To maintain the appearance of your Gazelles, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. For stubborn spots, consider a specialized suede eraser or a light cleaning solution formulated for natural leathers.
