FAQs
How should I clean the suede upper?
For best results, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for minor marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth is recommended. Always allow to air dry.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by water. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a water-repellent suede protector for light moisture resistance.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle trainers are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The lace closure allows for some adjustment.
What materials are used in these trainers?
These adidas Gazelle trainers feature a suede upper, a comfy liner with inner padding, and a durable rubber outsole.
What is the history behind the adidas Gazelle?
The Gazelle was first introduced in 1966 as a football training shoe. It quickly gained popularity beyond sports and evolved into a celebrated streetwear icon due to its simple, sleek design and comfortable wear.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
While originally designed for football training, the modern Gazelle is primarily intended as a lifestyle and streetwear shoe. It offers comfort for everyday wear but may not provide the advanced support or performance features required for intense athletic activities or modern sports.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
Visible dirt or light stains on suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away the marks. For stubborn spots, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth and dab the area.
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable initially
The soft upper material may require a short break-in period. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly and consider wearing thinner socks if needed.
Outsole appears dirty or scuffed
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help remove dirt from the shallow tread.
White/Gold stripes losing their luster
Gently wipe the stripes with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material or colour.

- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a mild suede cleaner. Dab, do not rub aggressively.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
