FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Gazelle series generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size, though the suede may stretch slightly over time.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing these in a machine will damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive components.
What is the best way to remove deep stains?
It is best to take the shoes to a professional shoe cleaner who has experience with suede, as DIY stain removal can easily discolour the material.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Suede is not waterproof. We highly recommend using a protective spray to make them water-resistant, but they should not be worn in heavy rain.
Do the laces come with the shoes?
Yes, these come with a standard lace-up closure that matches the colour of the heel tab and stripes.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on the suede material
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, clean toothbrush to gently buff the affected area in a circular motion.
Water spots on the surface
Dab the area with a slightly damp cloth to evenly moisten the surface, then let it air dry completely before brushing the nap back into place.
Sole grip feels slippery
Check the rubber outsole for debris or built-up mud. Use a damp cloth to wipe the soles clean to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gazelles stay in top condition, we recommend applying a water-repellent spray designed specifically for suede before your first wear. For daily maintenance, keep a soft-bristled suede brush handy to remove loose dust and dirt, which prevents debris from settling into the fabric. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Always store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from fading.
