FAQs

What material is the upper of these Gazelle Indoor Trainers made from?

The upper of these specific Gazelle Indoor Trainers is crafted from premium suede panelling, offering a luxurious feel and classic look.

Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?

While the Gazelle line has roots in indoor sports, the modern Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not recommended for performance sports or rigorous athletic activities.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

It is highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This creates a barrier against water and stains.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material, alter their shape, and cause discoloration. Always follow specific suede cleaning instructions.

What kind of sole do these trainers have?

These trainers feature a semi-translucent gum rubber sole. This unique design element not only adds to their aesthetic but also provides reliable traction on various surfaces.

Do I need to break them in?

As with many new shoes, especially those with suede uppers, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

Are replacement laces available?

Yes, if your laces become damaged or you wish to change their look, replacement laces can typically be purchased from Adidas retailers or general shoe accessory stores. Ensure you match the original length and thickness.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to smooth the fibers. For stubborn areas, a suede eraser can help lift dirt and restore texture.

Stains on the suede upper.

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can spread the stain or damage the suede.

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the material to break in and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider checking your sizing.

Sole appears dirty or discolored.

Clean the semi-translucent rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush and a shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles can be effective. Avoid getting cleaning solutions on the suede.

Laces are fraying or damaged.

Replacement laces can be purchased from Adidas or other shoe accessory retailers. Ensure the replacement laces match the original length and style for the best aesthetic.

  • Apparel: Best paired with casual clothing such as jeans, chinos, joggers, shorts, and casual dresses.
  • Occasions: Ideal for everyday wear, social gatherings, urban exploration, and casual events.
  • Environment: Most suitable for dry indoor or outdoor conditions. Avoid heavy rain or muddy environments to protect the suede.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Gazelle Indoor Trainers:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Water Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains. This is crucial for extending the life of the material.
  • Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the suede.
