FAQs

Are the Adidas Gazelle Trainers suitable for sports?

While originally designed for training, the current Gazelle models are best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not engineered for high-impact sports or intense athletic performance.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from a combination of leather and synthetic material.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more persistent dirt, a specialized leather cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, synthetic materials, and structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the fit like?

The Gazelle Trainers have a regular fit. It is recommended to refer to sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

What does 'Gazelle Indoor' mean in relation to these trainers?

The Gazelle Indoor variants are specifically designed with features like a gum rubber outsole and a suede or leather upper suitable for indoor sports courts, though they are also popular for casual wear. The general Gazelle model is also suitable for everyday use.

Are these trainers suitable for women?

The product information specifies these trainers are for men. However, sizing can often overlap, and individuals may choose to wear them regardless of gender if the fit is appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone easily.

Ensure you are using a secure knot when tying. Consider replacing the laces with a different material or texture if they are particularly slippery.

Slight squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole or within the shoe's structure. Try ensuring the insoles are properly seated. If the sound persists and is bothersome, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Discoloration on the white upper.

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for white footwear, following product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the materials.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  • Conditioning: For leather components, consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always test conditioners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
