FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor W is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe with a retro athletic aesthetic, not for rigorous sports or indoor training. Its comfort and style are best suited for everyday casual wear.
How do I clean the white stripes and gum sole?
For the white synthetic stripes, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For the gum rubber sole, a soft brush or old toothbrush with warm water and a little dish soap can effectively remove dirt. Rinse and wipe clean.
Is the sizing true to size?
Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size for most users. This specific variant is a UK 6.5. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult an adidas sizing chart.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. The premium suede upper is susceptible to water damage and staining. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the lining material?
The lining of the adidas Gazelle Indoor W is made from leather, which contributes to its luxurious feel and comfort.
What does 'Shadow Fig' color mean?
'Shadow Fig' refers to the subtle, elegant purple shade of the suede upper, which is complemented by the 'Cloud White' stripes and accents.
Are there other color options available?
Info needed: Check with retailer for current availability of other colorways in the Gazelle Indoor W series.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces. Ensure you've chosen the correct UK size (this pair is UK 6.5). If fit issues persist, consider trying a different size or lacing technique.
Stains on suede upper
Immediately blot liquid stains with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner with a brush, following product instructions carefully.
Sole lacks grip on certain surfaces
While the gum rubber sole provides good general grip, some extremely slick or wet surfaces may still be challenging. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris for optimal traction.
Fading color
Store shoes away from direct sunlight. Consider using a color refresh spray specifically for suede in a matching shade, if available, but test discreetly first.

- Spot Cleaning: For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede and leather protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage.
