FAQs
What does 'GS' in the product name mean?
'GS' stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are sized for older kids, typically ranging from elementary to middle school ages.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Bold GS are primarily designed as lifestyle fashion sneakers. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities or sports.
What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
These shoes feature a premium suede and leather upper, a synthetic lining, and a staggered rubber outsole, combining durability with a classic aesthetic.
How do I clean the stacked outsole?
The stacked rubber outsole can be cleaned using a soft brush or cloth with a solution of mild soap and water. For stubborn scuffs, a specialized shoe sole cleaner or a 'magic eraser' type product can be used carefully.
Is the 'Bold' aspect just about the color, or something else?
The 'Bold' in Gazelle Bold refers to the distinctive stacked or elevated outsole, which gives the classic Gazelle silhouette a modern, impactful update, not just the color.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
What kind of fit can I expect?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Bold GS offers a regular fit. The lace closure allows for adjustability to secure the foot comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore texture. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used.
Leather has scuffs or light marks
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, dry cloth. For more visible marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner or conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Like most new shoes, especially those with premium materials, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to the foot.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Over time, laces can wear, and replacing them with new ones can also help maintain tightness.
Stacked sole appears discolored or marked
Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For tougher marks, a shoe sole cleaner or a 'magic eraser' type product can be effective, testing on a small area first.

Care Instructions
To maintain the premium look and longevity of your leather and suede Gazelle Bold GS sneakers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for leather and suede to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regular Cleaning:
- For Leather Areas: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner following product instructions.
- For Suede Areas: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously. Always brush in one direction.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, direct heat, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or damage.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then air dry at room temperature away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
