FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner and protector product, following its instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they have a sporty heritage, Gazelle Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities or strenuous sports where specialized footwear is needed.
What materials are used in these trainers?
The upper is made from smooth suede (leather), and the outsole is durable rubber.
How should I store my Gazelle Trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
How can I protect the suede from water damage?
Applying a suede protector spray specifically designed for footwear can help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions.
What does 'UK 5.5' mean for sizing?
UK 5.5 refers to the shoe size according to the United Kingdom's sizing standard. Please note that US and European sizes may differ, so always confirm fit when trying them on.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended due to the suede material and construction. It can damage the shoes. Always follow specific suede care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then use a suede cleaner as directed. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you're wearing the type of socks you typically would with these trainers. If discomfort persists, consider checking sizing against adidas's official size guide.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath. Reinsert the insole.
Loss of traction on the outsole
Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt and debris, which can reduce grip. If the tread is significantly worn, replacement might be necessary.

Upon receiving your Gazelle Trainers, simply *lace them up* to achieve your desired fit. Ensure the lacing provides snug support without being overly tight. These trainers are *compatible* with a wide range of casual wear, from denim to track pants. When it comes to *care*, the suede upper requires specific attention. To clean, gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, applying it sparingly and following product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture, as water can stain suede. If they get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. The rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Always store your trainers in a cool, dry place. *Important Sizing Note*: Please try on your footwear before returning. The shoe box or label may display a US or Euro size, which can differ from the UK size (this product is UK 5.5). Confirm the fit before removing any tags or wearing outdoors.
