FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or adidas. These trainers generally fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness can vary.

What is the material of the 3-Stripes?

The 3-Stripes are typically made of synthetic material, designed to complement the leather and suede elements of the shoe.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and construction of the shoe.

What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor models often feature a softer, more streamlined construction and a gum sole, optimized for indoor court use historically, but now popular for their retro look. The standard Gazelle might have a slightly different sole and upper construction.

How durable is the gum rubber outsole?

The gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and provides good traction. However, like all rubber soles, it can show wear over time with consistent use.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these?

You can wear any type of sock that provides comfort. For a classic look, consider athletic-style socks or thin cotton socks.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in process if needed.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try powdering the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or cornstarch. Ensure laces are tied correctly.

Stains on the leather or suede

For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Gum sole appears dirty

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully on the rubber part only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Suede T-Toe: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect from dust and moisture.
