FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While the adidas Gazelle Indoor features a durable gum rubber outsole, it is primarily designed for optimal traction on indoor surfaces. For outdoor activities, especially on rough or wet terrain, other adidas models might offer better performance and protection for the suede material.
How do I clean the black suede upper?
To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product's instructions. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
Can I use these for sports?
The Gazelle Indoor draws from athletic heritage and is suitable for 'light indoor sports activities.' However, for high-impact or intense sports, specialized athletic footwear designed for specific movements and support is recommended over these lifestyle sneakers.
Do these shoes run true to size (UK 9)?
Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size. If you typically wear a UK 9 in adidas footwear, this size should fit well. However, individual foot shapes vary, so trying them on is always recommended if possible.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
The low-profile design and cushioned insole make these comfortable with a variety of sock types. Ankle socks or no-show socks are popular choices for a sleek, casual look, but standard crew socks also pair well for added comfort and style.
Will the gum rubber outsole leave marks on floors?
The gum rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent traction without leaving scuff marks on most indoor surfaces. Its non-marking properties are a key feature for its intended indoor use.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore its natural nap and texture.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, try re-lacing more openly or consider thinner socks. Ensure you selected the correct UK size 9.
Shoes are squeaking during wear
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole.

These sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness for a secure and comfortable fit. The `Core Black` colorway makes them highly compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and even some smart-casual attire. For optimal product longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, applying it with a soft cloth and following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the suede.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains, especially before initial wear and after cleaning.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
