FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
No, the adidas Gazelle Trainers are noted as small fitting. We recommend considering a larger size than your usual for optimal comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the suede upper is sensitive to water. We highly recommend applying a suede protector spray to make them more water-resistant. Avoid heavy rain.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regular light brushing after each wear helps prevent dirt buildup. For deeper cleaning, do so as needed when visible stains or dullness appear, typically every few weeks or months depending on usage.
Can I machine wash my Gazelle Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can severely damage the material, alter the shoe's shape, and fade colors. Always opt for hand-cleaning methods specifically for suede.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for casual everyday wear, light urban walking, and social gatherings. They are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
Is inner padding removable?
Info needed: Please check your specific model; some Gazelle insoles are removable for cleaning or custom orthotics, while others may be glued in.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or small
The product is noted as small fitting. Consider exchanging for half a size or a full size larger. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction to even out the fibers and revitalize the appearance.
Suede has water stains
Allow the trainers to dry completely. Then, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning solution, following the product instructions. Consistent use of a protector spray can prevent future stains.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside, and then reinserting the insole.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also try replacing the laces with a different material that offers more friction, such as cotton or textured synthetic laces.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your suede adidas Gazelle Trainers will prolong their life and appearance:
- Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently brush off dust and loose particles. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
- Stain Removal: For tougher spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Water Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. This helps repel water and stains.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these can damage the suede and rubber.
