FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities or sports?

While the Gazelle line originated for indoor sports, the Indoor model, particularly with its suede upper, is now primarily designed for casual wear and street style. It's not recommended for rigorous athletic activities or intense sports training.

How do I best protect the suede material from water and stains?

It's highly recommended to treat the suede upper with a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for suede before its first wear. Reapply periodically, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.

What is the best way to clean the suede upper?

For light dirt, use a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. If professional cleaning is needed, seek a specialist experienced with suede footwear.

Do these sneakers run true to size?

Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can be subjective. We recommend consulting the adidas size chart and considering your usual sneaker size.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

It's best to avoid wearing suede sneakers in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as water can damage the suede and potentially cause staining or alter its texture. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions for drying.

What is the gum rubber outsole made for?

The gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction and durability, giving you reliable grip on various indoor and urban surfaces. It also contributes to the shoe's classic, retro aesthetic.

Are there different colour options available for the Gazelle Indoor?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor series often comes in a variety of colours and materials. This specific guide is for the Red suede, striped variant (UK 10), but you can check the product range for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and texture of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort. If persistent, verify your size against adidas's official sizing chart, as fit can vary.

Slight squeaking from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new footwear as materials settle. If it persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.

Outsole appears dirty or scuffed

Clean the gum rubber outsole with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for rubber soles can be used.

Care:

  • Suede Upper: Suede is a delicate material. To clean, gently brush off loose dirt with a dedicated *suede brush*. For deeper stains, use a *suede eraser* or a specialized *suede cleaner* applied sparingly with a clean cloth. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider applying a *suede protector spray* before the first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and material degradation. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
