FAQs

Are these Adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers true to size?

Adidas Gazelle models are generally known to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best possible fit.

Can I wear these sneakers for sports activities?

While the original Gazelle Indoor was designed for indoor sports, this leather version is primarily intended for casual wear and fashion. It does not provide the advanced support or cushioning required for modern athletic performance.

What is the 'Better Scarlet' color?

'Better Scarlet' is Adidas' specific designation for a vibrant and deep shade of red, giving these sneakers their distinctive and eye-catching appearance.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. For enhanced protection against rain and spills, we recommend treating the sneakers with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for leather.

How should I break in my new Gazelle Indoor sneakers?

Wear your new sneakers for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration each time. The leather will naturally soften and mold to the shape of your feet, providing a more comfortable and personalized fit over time.

How often should I condition the leather?

For optimal care, we recommend conditioning the leather upper every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you wear them often or notice the leather appearing dry. This helps maintain its suppleness and prevents cracking.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper appears stiff or develops creases quickly.

Regular wear will naturally soften the leather and allow it to conform to your foot. Applying a good quality leather conditioner can also help keep the material supple and reduce the appearance of excessive creasing.

Minor scuffs or scratches appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, clean the area with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner and buff gently. For deeper scratches, specialized leather repair kits or professional leather services may be required.

The gum rubber outsole or white stripes look dirty and are hard to clean.

For the gum outsole and white stripes, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. For persistent stains, a magic eraser can be effective on rubber parts.

Squeaking sound coming from the shoes while walking.

Squeaking is often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and dusting a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole before replacing it.

Regular Cleaning: - Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized *leather cleaner* as per product instructions. - Clean the white stripes and gum rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly. 2. Drying: - Always allow your sneakers to *air dry naturally* at room temperature. - Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or warp. 3. Conditioning: - Periodically apply a high-quality *leather conditioner* to the upper. This will help keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. 4. Protection: - Consider using a *water and stain repellent spray* specifically designed for leather footwear. Apply this after cleaning and conditioning to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture and spills. 5. Storage: - Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using *shoe trees* can help maintain their original shape and absorb moisture.
