FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic sports?
While the original Gazelle was designed for indoor sports, the modern Gazelle Indoor is best suited for casual wear and street style due to its construction and materials. We do not recommend them for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I best clean the pink suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically formulated for colored suede, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Always allow them to air dry.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
These trainers feature a regular fit. Most customers find them to be true to size. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying your usual size first.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The suede upper is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material from water damage and staining. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is 'gum rubber' and what are its benefits for the outsole?
Gum rubber is a type of natural rubber known for its distinctive brownish, often translucent appearance. It offers excellent grip, flexibility, and durability, making it comfortable for walking and resistant to wear on various surfaces.
Can I wear these trainers in winter?
While they offer a stylish look, the suede upper is not insulated and not designed for harsh winter conditions. They are best suited for dry, moderate weather. If worn in winter, consider using a protective spray against moisture.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or has minor scuffs
Use a specialized suede brush to gently buff the surface and restore the nap. For stubborn scuffs, a suede eraser can be applied to lift marks. Always brush in one direction.
Trainers feel stiff or slightly uncomfortable during initial wear
The suede upper and leather lining will naturally soften and conform to your foot over time. Wear them for shorter periods initially to break them in. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Sole losing grip or appears dirty
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap, using a brush to scrub away dirt and debris. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely. Regularly cleaning the sole helps maintain its traction.
