FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the Gazelle was originally a training shoe, the Indoor version is now considered an 'everyday classic' and is best suited for casual wear and light urban activity, not high-performance running or sports.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
'LWG' stands for Leather Working Group. This indicates that the leather used is sourced from tanneries that have been audited and certified for their environmental performance, ensuring more sustainable leather production practices.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can severely damage the material, alter its texture, and affect the shoe's structure. Always opt for manual, spot cleaning methods.
What is the purpose of the gum rubber outsole?
The translucent gum rubber outsole is a signature design element reflecting the shoe's indoor training heritage. It provides durability and good traction for everyday walking surfaces, while also contributing to the shoe's classic aesthetic.
Are other colors or sizes available for the Adidas Gazelle Indoor?
Yes, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor series is available in a variety of colors and sizes to suit different preferences. Please check with your retailer for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Shoes are uncomfortable or feel too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. New suede shoes may require a short break-in period for the material to conform to your foot.
Sole has lost its grip or looks dirty.
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from grooves. Rinse the cloth and wipe off any soap residue.

Care
Maintaining the suede upper is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your Gazelle Indoor sneakers. Follow these care tips:
- Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a reputable suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture.
- Cleaning Suede: For light dirt or dust, use a soft suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause stains.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Sole Cleaning: The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and prevent creasing.
