Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals Gazelle trainers are ideal for adults seeking a timeless, low-profile sneaker that balances iconic retro aesthetics with everyday comfort. Crafted with a premium suede upper and soft textile lining, these shoes offer a stylish, versatile option for casual wear; however, because of the delicate suede material, they are best suited for dry conditions rather than heavy-duty outdoor use or wet weather.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Gazelle features a regular fit. It is recommended to purchase your standard UK shoe size.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and weaken the adhesives holding the sole in place.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from premium suede.
Are these suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle is a lifestyle trainer intended for casual, everyday wear, not for athletic performance or running.
How do I protect the red colour from fading?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use and avoid getting them excessively wet.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Pat them gently with a dry cloth and stuff them with newspaper to help them retain their shape while they air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuff marks on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the affected area in the direction of the grain.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are free of debris to allow for proper tension adjustment.
Insole feels worn down
Since the insole is designed for the shoe profile, consider using a thin, universal athletic insole if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelle trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before wearing them for the first time.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust or dry dirt after each use.
- Spot Cleaning: If you encounter a stain, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner; never soak the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the red colour to fade over time.
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately to avoid heel slippage, which can accelerate wear on the inner heel lining.
