FAQs
Are these adidas Gazelle trainers waterproof?
No, while the leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather to enhance their water repellency.
Can I machine wash my leather Gazelle trainers?
No, machine washing is strongly not recommended for leather trainers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the detailed care instructions for hand cleaning.
How do I choose the right size if I'm between sizes?
The Gazelle typically offers a standard fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying on both sizes or opting for the larger size to accommodate socks and foot swelling during the day. Leather may stretch minimally but not significantly.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For best comfort and fit, wear athletic or casual socks that you typically prefer with sneakers. Avoid excessively thick socks if your fit is already snug, or very thin socks if you prefer more cushioning.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on how frequently you wear them and your local climate, conditioning every 1-3 months is a good general guideline. If the leather begins to look dry, stiff, or loses its luster, it's a good indicator that conditioning is needed.
Can I use these trainers for sports activities?
These adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and style, not for performance sports or intense athletic activities. Using them for sports may lead to premature wear and does not provide the specialized support required for such activities.
Where are these trainers manufactured?
> Info needed: Manufacturing origin varies by product batch. Please refer to the label inside your specific pair of trainers or the product packaging for the country of origin information.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Leather conditioners can also help soften the material and allow it to conform to your foot more quickly.
Cream leather appears dull or discolored.
Clean the trainers thoroughly with a suitable leather cleaner to remove accumulated dirt and grime. Then, apply a quality leather conditioner to restore moisture, suppleness, and the original sheen. Ensure they are dried properly away from direct heat.
Small scuffs or scratches on the leather surface.
For minor scuffs, gently rub the area with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair cream or polish in a matching cream color might be needed. Always test such products on an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor from inside the trainers.
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. Ensure trainers are completely dry after wear, and consider rotating them with other shoes to allow them to air out thoroughly.
Trainers got wet and seem misshapen after drying.
When wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper or shoe trees to help absorb moisture and maintain their original shape as they dry. Always allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most from your adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers involves understanding initial fit, appropriate use, and crucial care for the cream leather.
First Use & Sizing
- Trying On: Always try on your trainers with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping.
- Sizing: This specific pair is UK Size 5. While leather may soften slightly and adapt to your foot's shape, significant stretching is minimal. Consult adidas' official sizing charts if you need to convert to other international sizes.
- Break-in Period: Leather footwear often benefits from a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, gradually increasing wear time, to allow the leather to soften and conform to your feet.
Compatibility
The adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style. They are not suitable for:
- High-Impact Sports: Activities like running, basketball, or intense gym workouts require specialized athletic footwear.
- Rough Terrain: While durable, the sole is designed for urban and paved surfaces, not rugged trails.
Their female-specific design ensures an optimal fit and aesthetic for women.
Care Instructions for Cream Leather
Proper care is paramount for maintaining the pristine look and extending the life of your cream leather Gazelle trainers. Cream leather can show dirt and stains more readily, making a consistent care routine essential.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft brush or a dry, soft cloth. This prevents dirt from embedding into the leather.
- Spot Cleaning: For surface dirt or minor scuffs, wipe with a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for light-colored leathers. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Stain Removal: Act quickly on spills. Blot liquids immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For oil-based stains, a specialized leather degreaser may be necessary. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources (like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight), as this can dry out, crack, or discolor the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner formulated for smooth leather. This helps keep the material supple, prevents cracking, and restores its natural sheen. Frequency depends on usage and climate, typically every 1-3 months.
- Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a leather protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, making subsequent cleaning easier. Ensure the spray is suitable for cream-colored leather and test first.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture.
