FAQs
Are these adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, fashion, and everyday comfort. They do not provide the specialized support, cushioning, and stability required for high-performance running or other athletic activities.
How should I clean my Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers?
For cleaning, wipe the synthetic and leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild shoe cleaner suitable for leather and synthetic materials. Always refer to the product label for the most specific care instructions. Do not machine wash or submerge them in water.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models are known to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary. The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment to achieve a more personalized fit.
What materials are the adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons Trainers made from?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetics and leather, the interior lining is textile, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some basic resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to the materials and maintain their longevity.
Is the adidas Trefoil logo stitched or printed?
The iconic Trefoil logo and 3-Stripes on Gazelle trainers are typically applied through high-quality methods, often stitched or heat-pressed, ensuring durability and maintaining the authentic design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across the foot to achieve a comfortable and customized fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.
Trainers appear dirty or scuffed.
Wipe the synthetic and leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap or a cleaner specifically designed for footwear materials. Always follow the specific care instructions on the product label.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common issue with new shoes. Ensure laces are tied securely. Sometimes, the sole material can squeak on certain surfaces until the shoes are broken in. Applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole can also sometimes help.
Lack of cushioning for extended wear.
While designed for casual comfort, these trainers may not offer extensive cushioning for prolonged periods of standing or active use. Consider adding thin, comfortable aftermarket insoles for additional support if desired.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers. Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the synthetic and leather upper with a damp, soft cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as these can damage the materials.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks on leather, consider a specialized leather cleaner suitable for trainers. For synthetic areas, a gentle shoe cleaner may be used.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
