FAQs
What materials are the Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers made from?
These sneakers feature a premium suede upper with snakeskin overlays, a leather lining, and a durable rubber outsole.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, while the Gazelle has roots as a training shoe, the modern Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-performance running or sports.
How do I clean the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the rubber. A soft brush can help remove dirt from grooves.
What is the difference between the 'Gazelle Indoor' and the regular 'Gazelle'?
The primary difference lies in the outsole. The Gazelle Indoor features a distinctive gum rubber outsole, often with a slightly translucent look, while the original Gazelle typically has a solid white rubber outsole. The 'Indoor' version also often incorporates unique material details like snakeskin overlays.
Do Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers run true to size?
Most customers find Adidas Gazelle sneakers to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide.
Can I wear these sneakers in rainy weather?
Due to the suede upper, it's advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can stain and stiffen when exposed to excessive moisture. Applying a protective spray can offer some water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a soft suede brush to gently clean the surface. For deeper dirt, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner on a clean cloth, gently rub the affected area, and then brush the nap back into place once dry.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Experiment with different lacing patterns or tightness levels to find the most comfortable fit for your foot. Ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched up.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes or if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole to reduce friction. If the squeak persists, contact customer support as it may indicate a manufacturing issue.
Shoes got wet and appear stiff/stained.
Immediately stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore the nap. For stains, a suede cleaner may be required once the shoes are dry.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the premium look and longevity of your suede and leather Gazelle Indoor sneakers. Always follow the care instructions provided with the product. Generally, for suede:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees, to help retain shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
