FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the adidas Gazelle Indoor in Green is primarily crafted from smooth suede leather, sourced through the Leather Working Group.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While the original Gazelle was an indoor training shoe, this reissue is primarily designed for casual wear and everyday style. It is not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I keep the suede clean?
To clean suede, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner or eraser. It's also highly recommended to use a suede protector spray before wearing and periodically thereafter.
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
'LWG' stands for Leather Working Group. This certification indicates that the leather used in the shoe comes from tanneries that have been audited for their environmental performance, promoting sustainable and responsible leather manufacturing practices.
How does the sizing run for Gazelle Indoor shoes?
adidas Gazelle shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend ordering your usual adidas size.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. It is advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally after stuffing them with newspaper.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and remove surface dullness. For deeper cleaning, use a suede eraser or cleaner.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear, but if they are significantly uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Check if your socks are too thick.
Laces constantly come undone.
Try a double knot or a different lacing technique, such as the 'surgeon's knot', which offers more security than a standard bow knot.
Sole appears dirty or scuffed.
Clean the translucent gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective.
