FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart and measure your foot. The Gazelle OG typically runs true to size for most, but consider trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for specific fit feedback.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
No, the Gazelle OG is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual wear and comfort. It is not engineered for high-impact athletic activities.
How often should I clean my Gazelle trainers?
Clean as needed, typically when visible dirt accumulates. Regular gentle wiping with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers. This can damage the material, adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoe.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle OG?
The Gazelle OG typically refers to the original design as released in the 1960s, often featuring specific materials and details that match the vintage aesthetic. Newer Gazelle models may have updated materials or slight design variations.
How durable is the leather upper?
The premium leather upper is designed for durability with regular care. It will naturally show signs of wear over time, contributing to its classic look.
Does the gold detailing wear off?
The gold foil detailing is applied to the shoe and, with normal wear and care, should maintain its appearance. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning on these areas.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Wear with thinner socks initially. The leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to dry naturally.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides grip, but may perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. Consider a professional resoling if wear is significant.
Discoloration from dark socks
This can occur with new footwear, especially in certain colors. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or use a protective spray designed to prevent color transfer.
