FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or other sports?
No, the adidas Gazelle Bold is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. It does not provide the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for high-performance running or other athletic activities.
How do I properly clean the leather material?
To clean the leather, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution (a few drops of mild soap in water) and a clean cloth. Wipe off any soap residue with a separate damp cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to run true to size for most wearers. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend referring to standard size guides or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, as it can saturate the material and potentially affect the shoe's longevity. Always allow them to air dry fully if they get wet.
What is the sole made of?
The sole of the adidas Gazelle Bold is made from a durable, wear-resistant rubber compound designed to provide reliable traction and support for everyday activities.
Are these shoes considered unisex?
While listed as 'WMNS' (Women's), the classic and versatile design of the adidas Gazelle Bold makes them a popular choice across all genders for casual and fashion purposes. The styling is generally considered gender-neutral.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned from the toe box to the ankle. You can try different lacing patterns for a more customized fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
The sound might be coming from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.
Leather appears dull or stained
Clean the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently rub in circular motions, then wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. For scuffs, a leather conditioner can sometimes help.
Soles seem to lack grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the non-slip sole is clean and free of dirt, debris, or oil buildup, which can reduce traction. For optimal grip, avoid extremely wet or oily conditions, as no sole is entirely slip-proof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. A secure lacing closure is key to both comfort and stability.

- They are best suited for everyday casual settings rather than formal events or high-intensity sports.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Gazelle Bold sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water) on a soft cloth. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or solvents, as these can damage the leather.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the non-slip sole, ensuring good traction is maintained.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
