adidas Gazelle Trainers - Black - Suede - UK Size 5

While durable and comfortable for active children, these Gazelle trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational activities, not specialized sports performance.

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. It can severely damage the material, causing shrinkage, color fading, and loss of texture. Follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically according to the product instructions. This creates a barrier against water and stains.

While not specifically included, standard flat laces in white or black can be purchased from shoe accessory retailers if replacements are needed. Measure the original laces for correct length.

It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to an adidas size chart for children's footwear. Trying them on with typical socks is also recommended to ensure a comfortable fit.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in consistent, short strokes in one direction.

Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For water stains, lightly dampen the entire affected area evenly with clean water, then blot with a clean cloth and let air dry.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure socks are worn and feet are clean.

Clean the white stripes gently with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid getting excessive moisture on the suede.
