FAQs

How do I clean the suede on my Gazelle Indoor shoes?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor were originally designed for indoor sports in the 70s, but today they are primarily a lifestyle shoe. They are best suited for casual wear and light activity rather than high-performance running or intense sports.

Can I wear my Gazelle Indoor shoes in the rain?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a good suede protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to prevent water damage and staining. If they get wet, air dry them naturally.

What materials are these shoes made from?

These Gazelle Indoor shoes feature a suede upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a distinctive gum rubber outsole. The lace closure is typically textile.

Are these women's shoes?

This specific variant of the adidas Gazelle Indoor is listed for 'Female' wearers and is a size UK 7. While Gazelle models are often unisex in style, specific sizing and marketing can vary.

What does 'gum rubber outsole' mean?

A gum rubber outsole is a type of sole made from natural or synthetic rubber that often has a translucent or light brown appearance. It's known for providing excellent grip and durability, especially on indoor surfaces, and contributes to the shoe's retro aesthetic.

Are they true to size?

Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size (UK 7 for this model).

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to product instructions, always testing on a small, hidden area first.

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The `size_adult_foot_uk` for this model is `7`. Adjust lacing for a more comfortable fit; try different lacing techniques if needed. The leather lining will mold slightly to your foot over time.

Squeaking sound when walking

Sometimes a new gum sole can squeak, which often reduces with wear. If persistent, check for loose insoles or try a small amount of baby powder dusted under the insole to reduce friction.

Poor grip on certain outdoor surfaces

While the gum sole provides good indoor grip, be cautious on very smooth, wet, or icy outdoor surfaces. These shoes are primarily lifestyle wear with indoor sports heritage, not designed for extreme outdoor conditions.

Color fading or uneven appearance

Excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause suede color to fade. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For existing fading, a suede recoloring product might be used, but always test carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic and timeless style suitable for various outfits.
  • Comfortable for everyday wear due to leather lining and low-profile design.
  • High-quality suede material offers a premium look and feel.
  • Distinctive gum rubber outsole provides good grip and unique aesthetic.
  • Authentic retro design pays homage to adidas heritage.

Cons

  • Suede material requires specific care to prevent stains and damage.
  • Light pink color may show dirt and scuffs more easily.
  • Originally designed for indoor sports, not intended for high-performance outdoor activities.
  • Limited weather resistance, especially against heavy rain or moisture (due to suede).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply unbox your new Gazelle Indoor shoes and lace them up to your preferred snugness. There are no complex setups required, just slip them on and enjoy the iconic style.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile, pairing well with a wide range of casual attire:

  • Apparel: Jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.
  • Styles: Complements both vintage-inspired and modern minimalist looks. The pink color can be a statement piece or blend harmoniously with neutral tones.

Care

The suede upper requires specific attention to maintain its appearance and longevity:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt and dust with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as heat can damage suede.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, and prolonged exposure to direct moisture.
