FAQs

Are these Gazelle Indoor shoes suitable for sports or athletic training?

While originally designed as an indoor training shoe, the modern adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor is primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes, not high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede part of my shoes?

To clean the suede, use a suede brush for light dirt and to restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to apply a suede protector spray to add a layer of resistance against moisture and stains.

What is the fit like for the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor?

These shoes feature a regular fit, designed to provide comfortable wear for most foot types. They generally run true to size for a UK 9.5.

What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?

The shoes feature a premium soft suede upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a durable gum rubber cupsole.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, leather, and overall construction of the shoes. Always follow specific care instructions for suede and leather.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber cupsole?

The `gum rubber cupsole` provides reliable grip and traction for everyday surfaces, while also contributing to the shoe's distinctive retro aesthetic and overall durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected areas in one direction. This helps to lift the nap and restore its original texture and appearance.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The leather lining and suede upper may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. They should conform to your foot's shape over time.

Visible dirt or scuffs on the suede.

For light dirt, use a suede brush. For more stubborn marks, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently dab the stain, then brush. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes emit an odor.

Allow the shoes to air out after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing cedar shoe trees inside to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure you are tying a double knot for added security. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip.

Care Instructions

Maintaining the premium `suede upper` and `leather lining` is key to their longevity and appearance:

  1. Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  2. Cleaning Suede: For dirt or scuffs, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove particles. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid water and harsh detergents directly on suede.
  3. Cleaning Leather Lining: Wipe the `leather lining` with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow to air dry naturally.
  4. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash these shoes, as it can severely damage the materials and construction.
