FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities like running or training?
No, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and street style. While they originated as indoor sports shoes, their modern iteration is not built for the rigorous demands of running or intense training.
How do I clean the suede upper?
To clean the suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in the rain or wet conditions. Suede is highly susceptible to water damage, which can cause permanent staining, discoloration, and alter the texture of the material.
What is the primary material composition of these trainers?
The upper is crafted from supple suede, complemented by a robust leather interior for durability and comfort, and features a gum rubber outsole for traction.
Are Gazelle Indoor trainers true to size?
Generally, Adidas Gazelle trainers are considered true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary, so if possible, trying them on or consulting a size chart with measurements is recommended.
What is the 'Indoor' aspect of the Gazelle Indoor?
The 'Indoor' in the name refers to the shoe's original design purpose in 1979 as an indoor sports shoe. Today, the Gazelle Indoor has evolved into a popular casual lifestyle sneaker, retaining its classic aesthetic while being adapted for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn areas, a suede eraser can lift embedded grime. Always brush in the direction of the nap.
Suede is stained or discolored.
Apply a small amount of suede cleaner designed for the material. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For severe stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot for optimal comfort and support. If persistent, verify you have the correct size.
Sole has lost some grip or feels slippery.
Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the sole is dry before wear.

Care
Maintaining the pristine look of your suede Gazelle Indoor trainers requires specific care:
- Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Clean Stains: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Apply sparingly and blot, rather than rub.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage, which can lead to staining and discoloration. Avoid wearing them in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
