FAQs

Are the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers suitable for sports?

While originally created for indoor sports in the 70s, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers have evolved into a lifestyle shoe. They are best suited for casual wear and street style rather than high-performance athletic activities.

How do I best clean the suede material?

For optimal care, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for deeper stains. Always follow the specific product instructions for suede care and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is crafted from durable gum rubber, featuring a distinctive semi-translucent effect that adds to the trainer's unique aesthetic.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Suede is generally sensitive to water and can stain or get damaged. It's recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain. For light protection, you can apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede.

Do Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers run true to size?

Adidas Gazelle models typically fit true to size. For the most accurate fit, it's always best to consult Adidas's official sizing guide or try them on if possible.

What does 'low-profile' mean in terms of design?

'Low-profile' refers to the sleek, minimalist design that sits closer to the ground, contributing to the shoe's classic retro aesthetic and agile appearance.

What is the purpose of the perforated tongue?

The perforated tongue adds a playful and distinctive design element, contributing to the trainer's unique character and visual appeal, echoing historical design cues.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and restore the material's nap. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner strictly following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lace closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot for a secure yet comfortable and personalized fit. Re-tie if necessary.

Gum rubber sole is discolored or sticky

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stickiness, ensure all soap residue is removed. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the rubber.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes

Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Insert shoe deodorizers or sachets containing baking soda to absorb moisture and odors. Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day to allow them to dry completely.

Suede feels stiff after getting wet

Once completely dry, gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to soften the fibers and restore its original texture. Do not attempt to force dry with heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lace Adjustment: Upon first wear, adjust the lace closure to achieve a secure and personalized fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for broad casual compatibility:

  • Apparel: Pairs well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, joggers, shorts, chinos, skirts, and casual dresses.
  • Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, social gatherings, light urban exploration, and leisure activities.

Product Care & Maintenance

To ensure your Gazelle Indoor Trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  • Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift away debris and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions.
  • Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede before the first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the gum rubber outsole, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Wipe gently and dry immediately.
  • Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the suede.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the suede and sole materials.
