FAQs
What materials are the adidas Originals Gazelle Trainers made from?
The upper features a smooth suede construction combined with synthetic elements, while the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic sports?
While originating from athletic roots, the Gazelle Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and eraser, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Do I need to worry about sizing discrepancies?
Yes, it's advised to always check the UK size on the label and try the footwear on before wearing, as other regions' sizing (US/Euro) might be displayed differently on the box.
Are the Gazelle Trainers waterproof?
No, due to their suede upper, these trainers are not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage.
Can I wear these trainers in all seasons?
They are best suited for dry conditions. While comfortable for year-round wear, their suede material makes them less ideal for wet or snowy weather.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, and then brush to restore the nap. Consider a suede protector spray for future prevention.
My trainers feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure your laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. If discomfort persists, consider wearing thinner or thicker socks. If the size feels off, refer to the UK sizing on the label and compare it to your usual fit; footwear should be tried on before wearing outside.
The rubber outsole seems to lack grip.
Check the outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to ensure the tread pattern is clear. If the sole is very worn, traction naturally diminishes.

Setup

- Lacing: Lace up the trainers, ensuring a comfortable yet snug fit. Adjust the laces to your preference to prevent discomfort or slipping.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gazelle Trainers, particularly the suede upper:
- Suede Cleaning: For dirt or scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
