adidas Originals Gazelle Bold - Blue - Suede - UK 8.5

For best results, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For deeper cleaning, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always apply a waterproof and stain-resistant suede protector before first wear and periodically thereafter.

No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Bold trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes. Their stacked platform sole and suede construction are not engineered for athletic performance or high-impact activities.

The primary difference is the sole. The Gazelle Bold features a distinctive stacked, three-layer platform sole, providing an elevated look and feel compared to the standard Gazelle's flatter sole.

Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the adidas size chart or try them on if possible.

It's best to avoid wearing suede shoes in wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush the suede gently. Applying a good quality suede protector can offer some resistance to light moisture.

While rare, new suede shoes can sometimes have slight colour transfer. To minimize this, ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing and consider treating them with a suede protector. Wear with darker socks initially if concerned.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the entire upper. Brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn dust, a light, damp cloth (not wet) followed by brushing can help, ensuring quick drying.

Use a suede eraser (a special rubber block) to gently rub the scuffed or shiny area. This can help lift the fibers and restore the texture. Follow up with a suede brush.

Like many new shoes, the suede and sole may need a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for comfort.
