FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers with a retro aesthetic and are not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports. They are best suited for casual wear and light urban activities.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically. This will create a barrier against moisture and stains, though it will not make them fully waterproof.
What's the difference between the Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor is a retooling of the classic Gazelle from the 70s, featuring specific design elements like a wider wrapped gum sole unit with a distinct dimpled pattern, which was originally optimized for indoor sports surfaces. The overall silhouette remains similar, but the sole and some detailing differentiate them.
Can I put my Gazelle Indoor shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material, alter its texture, and affect the shoe's structure. Always follow manual spot cleaning and care instructions for suede.
How should I choose the right size?
These shoes feature a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to determine the most comfortable fit.
Will the pink color fade over time?
Like many dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause some color fading over a very long period. Storing your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight will help preserve their vibrant pink color.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in a consistent direction to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Shoes feel a bit tight after initial wear
The textile lining and suede upper may take a few wears to conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. If persistent, ensure you have the correct size.
Minor scuffs or dirt marks on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub away scuffs and marks. For more stubborn dirt, try a suede cleaning solution as per its instructions.

Care Instructions
Caring for your suede Gazelle Indoor shoes is crucial to maintain their premium look:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spots, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaning solution with a soft cloth, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid saturating the suede.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, blot excess water with a clean towel and let them air dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain shape and prevent creasing.
