FAQs
Are the adidas Gazelle Indoor suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, while they draw inspiration from indoor training shoes, the adidas Gazelle Indoor are primarily designed as casual lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear and light activities, not for high-performance running or gym workouts.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It's highly recommended to apply a quality suede protector spray before the first wear. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, blot them dry immediately and allow them to air dry naturally.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas shoes?
The Gazelle Indoor features a regular fit. Generally, you can stick to your usual adidas size. However, for the most accurate fit, always refer to the official adidas sizing chart, especially if you are between sizes or new to the brand.
What is the difference between the 'Gazelle' and 'Gazelle Indoor'?
The 'Gazelle Indoor' variant typically features a translucent gum rubber outsole designed for enhanced grip on indoor surfaces, a more pronounced wrapping sole, and often premium materials like the suede upper and leather lining seen here, reflecting its specific heritage as an indoor training shoe.
Can I put my adidas Gazelle Indoor in the washing machine?
No, washing machine use is strongly discouraged for suede and leather sneakers. It can damage the materials, alter the shoe's shape, and cause discolouration. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for best results.
What materials are used in the construction of this shoe?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor features a smooth suede leather upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a distinctive translucent gum rubber cupsole, providing a blend of premium feel and classic aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has visible dirt/scuffs.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For scuffs or stubborn marks, carefully use a suede eraser.
Gum sole appears discolored or lacks grip.
Clean the gum sole regularly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away all soap residue and allow to air dry completely to maintain its appearance and traction.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub in certain areas.
Ensure you have the correct size and adjust the lace closure for an optimal fit. If discomfort persists, try wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in, as leather linings can soften over time. Check socks for seams that might be causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers look great and last long, follow these guidelines:

- Sizing: The Gazelle Indoor features a *regular fit*. If you're unsure about your size, especially with UK sizing, consult the official adidas sizing chart to find your best match. Proper sizing is key for comfort and preventing wear.
Compatibility
- Versatile Wardrobe Addition: The Gazelle Indoor is highly compatible with a wide array of casual and smart-casual clothing. Its timeless design makes it a staple for various personal styles.
Care & Maintenance
- Suede Upper Care:
- Brush Regularly: Use a soft-bristled suede brush (or a clean, dry toothbrush) to gently brush off dirt and dust in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be very effective. Gently rub the eraser over the mark.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If they get wet, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Gum Rubber Cupsole Care:
- Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the translucent gum sole. This helps maintain its appearance and grip.
- Rinse & Dry: Wipe off any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth, then air dry thoroughly.
- Lining Care: The leather lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
