FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are designed as lifestyle and casual shoes. They are not intended for athletic performance activities like running.

How do I clean the suede toecap?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used carefully. Avoid getting the suede wet.

What is the difference between these and standard Gazelles?

These 'Made in Italy' Gazelles feature a formal dress shoe-inspired sole and premium leather, offering a more elevated aesthetic and craftsmanship compared to standard models.

How should I care for the premium leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning and use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What does 'Made in Italy' signify?

It indicates that the shoes have been manufactured in Italy, a region renowned for its high standards of shoemaking, material quality, and craftsmanship.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as it can affect the leather and suede components. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather and suede.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary.

Suede is stained or matted

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Always brush suede in one direction when dry.

Laces feel worn

Replace waxed laces with new ones of a similar style to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

Soles show minor scuffs

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a rubber sole cleaner can be used sparingly.
