FAQs
What are the adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers made of?
The primary material for the upper is leather, providing durability and a premium look. The sole is typically rubber.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
It is recommended to consult the official adidas sizing chart, which usually provides conversions from other international sizing systems (like US or EU) to UK sizing. Measuring your foot length can also help.
Can these trainers be worn for running or sports?
The Gazelle Trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle and streetwear shoes. While they offer agility from their design heritage, they are not intended for high-impact sports or serious athletic training.
Are the gold accents on the shoe durable?
The gold metallic details are typically applied as a finish. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaning methods, they should maintain their appearance for a reasonable period.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. For moderate use in normal conditions, conditioning every 6-12 months is often sufficient to keep the leather supple.
Do these trainers come in other colors besides black and gold?
The adidas Originals Gazelle series is known for its wide range of colorways. While this specific model features black and gold, other versions and color combinations are available across the Gazelle line.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the material. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the specific UK sizing chart provided by adidas Originals. Consider the width of your foot if you have wider feet.
Creasing on the toe box
Some creasing is natural with leather shoes and indicates normal wear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce severe creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gazelle Trainers require no specific setup beyond being laced up. Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly and adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses. They are unisex and designed for adult foot sizes.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the trainers with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the leather.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
