FAQs

How do I protect my suede Gazelles from water?

Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time, and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions whenever possible.

Are these trainers true to size?

adidas Gazelles generally fit true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so if possible, trying them on or consulting a detailed size chart is recommended.

Can I put my suede Gazelles in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede trainers in a washing machine. The water and agitation can severely damage the suede, causing discoloration, shrinking, and hardening. Always clean suede by hand using specialized products.

What's the best way to store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help them retain their shape and absorb any residual moisture, preventing creases and odors.

Is the purple color likely to fade over time?

Like many dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some color fading. Storing them out of direct sun and using a protector spray can help preserve the vibrancy of the purple.

Are these suitable for sports or intense physical activity?

The adidas Gazelle Terrace Icons are designed as casual lifestyle trainers, not for sports or intense physical activity. Their construction and material are optimized for everyday comfort and style, not athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or dusty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush off surface dirt. Always brush in the same direction to maintain the suede's nap.

Stubborn stains on suede

For small, dry stains, use a suede eraser. For more liquid or ingrained stains, apply a small amount of professional suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently dab the stain, then blot dry.

Suede looks matted or worn

After cleaning, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brushing in different directions can help lift the fibers and refresh the appearance.

Trainers got wet and look discolored

Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and consider reapplying a suede protector.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is tight, consider wearing them for short periods initially to break them in. If consistently uncomfortable, double-check your size against adidas's sizing guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your adidas Terrace Icons Gazelle trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox and wear. For optimal comfort, ensure you choose the correct size for your feet.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and can be paired with various casual outfits:

  • Jeans: Classic blue, black, or grey denim work perfectly.
  • Chinos/Trousers: Can be dressed up slightly with slim-fit chinos or casual trousers.
  • Shorts: Ideal for a relaxed, sporty look during warmer weather.
  • Socks: Pair with low-cut or no-show socks for a streamlined look, or bold patterned socks to add personality.

Care

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality and appearance of suede trainers:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks or stains, use a suede eraser (rubber-like block) to gently rub away the blemish. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner solution applied sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions.
  4. Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain, snow, or muddy conditions.
