FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Gazelle Indoors?
To clean the suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on stains unless it's a specialized suede cleaner, and always let them air dry naturally.
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor features a regular fit. Most customers find them to be true to their usual adidas size.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the suede can tolerate light moisture, it's generally not recommended for heavy rain as suede can be prone to water damage and staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the significance of the 'Indoor' in the name?
The 'Indoor' designation refers to the original 1991 design, which was crafted as an indoor training shoe. The translucent gum sole, in particular, was optimized for grip on indoor surfaces.
Are the adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes unisex?
Yes, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for all genders.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, it's recommended to wear socks. The style pairs well with athletic, no-show, or casual crew socks depending on your preference and outfit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, gently use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The leather lining and suede upper may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Gum sole has lost some grip or looks dirty
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap to remove accumulated dirt and restore its original texture.

Care Instructions
Caring for your suede Gazelle Indoors is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off dirt and debris with a dedicated *suede brush*. For tougher spots, use a *suede eraser*. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. Consider using a specialized suede cleaner for deeper cleaning.
- Protection: Apply a *ssuede protector spray* before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps repel water and 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.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Gum Sole Care: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
