FAQs
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
Apply a high-quality suede protector spray to the entire shoe before first wear and reapply periodically as recommended by the spray product's instructions.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It's generally best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally, stuffed with newspaper to maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Are these shoes true to size?
adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. Refer to the size guide if available, and consider your usual adidas size.
What is the T-toe overlay made of?
The T-toe overlay on this specific model is made of suede, seamlessly matching the hue of the upper for a consistent look.
How often should I clean my Gazelle Bold trainers?
Clean them as needed, especially after visible dirt or stains appear. Regular light brushing helps maintain the suede's appearance. Deep cleaning should be done sparingly to preserve the material.
Can I use a washing machine to clean these trainers?
No, washing machines can damage the suede, the adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoes. Always clean suede by hand using appropriate suede care products.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears flattened or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush in different directions to restore its nap.
Suede stained with dirt or mud
Allow dirt to dry completely, then use a suede brush to remove loose debris. For remaining marks, use a suede eraser.
White sole edges look dirty
Wipe the white sole edges with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a sneaker cleaning solution suitable for rubber.
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing tightness. For persistent discomfort, consider trying different sock thicknesses. While shoes need time to break in, if they are severely uncomfortable, it might indicate an incorrect size.
Suede color fading
Store shoes away from direct sunlight. For minor fading, specialized suede color restorers are available, but consult product instructions carefully.
