FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers are noted as 'small fitting'. It is generally recommended to consider purchasing half a size or even a full size larger than your usual size for the most comfortable fit.
How should I clean the suede material?
For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner applied with a damp cloth (not wet) should be used. Always let them air dry completely.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. It's recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles, as water can stain or damage the material. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some water resistance for light moisture.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For best comfort, it's recommended to wear socks that wick away moisture and provide a comfortable fit, especially given the 'small fitting' nature. Thin athletic socks or casual cotton socks are generally suitable.
Is the sole durable for daily wear?
Yes, the wide rubber outsole is designed for durability and daily wear, providing good traction and support for casual use. However, like all footwear, excessive wear or use in harsh conditions will eventually show.
What is the material of the stripes?
Info needed: [Specific material of the stripes on this variant is not provided, but typically they are synthetic leather or similar durable material contrasting the suede body.]
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers are designed as casual lifestyle footwear, not for athletic performance. While comfortable for walking, they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for running, training, or sports.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Given the 'small fitting' nature, this is a common issue. Ensure you've ordered the correct size. If already purchased, try wearing thin socks or consider exchanging for half a size or a full size larger if possible.
Suede upper looks dull or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be effective. Regular brushing helps prevent buildup.
Outsole seems to be losing grip.
Inspect the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the shallow tread with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt or small stones that might be compromising traction. If the tread is significantly worn, performance may diminish.
Laces constantly come undone or feel loose.
Experiment with different lacing techniques. A 'surgeon's knot' or double knot can help secure laces more effectively. Ensure laces are not excessively worn or stretched.
Colour fading on the suede.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause suede to fade. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. A suede colour restorer can sometimes revive faded areas, but prevention is best.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Gazelle trainers is straightforward. Simply untie the laces, slip your foot in, and adjust the lacing for a snug, comfortable fit. Due to the 'small fitting' nature of this product, it is highly recommended to try them on carefully before deciding on your purchase. Pay close attention to how they feel, especially around the toes and sides of your foot. If returning, ensure the footwear is tried on and handled with care, as the box or label might state a US/Euro size different from the UK size.
Compatibility
These trainers are incredibly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They complement:
- Jeans: From slim-fit to relaxed-fit denim.
- Chinos & Trousers: For a smart-casual aesthetic.
- Shorts: Perfect for warmer weather and a relaxed vibe.
- Casual Dresses/Skirts: For a sporty-chic contrast.
Their brown colour makes them particularly adaptable, pairing well with earth tones, blues, and even brighter accents.
Care
Given the suede upper material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gazelle trainers:
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction to keep the texture consistent.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner. Blot gently, do not rub aggressively.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
