FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports performance?
While inspired by sports heritage, these Gazelle Indoor trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities, not high-intensity sports requiring advanced support and cushioning.
How do I maintain the black suede?
Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid water and store them properly to prevent damage.
What does the 'Olympic Black' edition signify?
This edition refers to the specific colorway and design update of the classic Gazelle Indoor model, featuring a black suede upper with white stripes and a distinctive gum sole.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. Allow them to dry naturally if they get damp.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a semi-translucent, honey-toned gum rubber, which provides grip and durability.
Are there other color options available?
While this guide focuses on the 'Olympic Black' variant, other colorways and versions of the Adidas Gazelle Indoor may be available through different product listings.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered true to size for a standard adult trainer. The leather lining and tongue contribute to a comfortable feel once broken in.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid using water on suede.
Laces are worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and color. You can hand wash existing laces with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Sole is losing grip
Ensure the sole is clean of any debris. Minor loss of grip might be due to wear; for significant issues, consult a shoe repair specialist.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. Suede generally stretches slightly over time. Avoid wearing in wet conditions.
