FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual wear and everyday comfort. While inspired by indoor training, it is not recommended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I determine my size?

The adidas Gazelle Indoor generally fits true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific size charts or trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these in the rain?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to rain or puddles can damage the material and potentially cause color transfer or staining. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What's the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor is a specific re-issue of the 1991 Gazelle design, distinguished by its unique translucent gum sole that extends up the side of the shoe, reflecting its indoor training heritage. The standard Gazelle typically features a solid rubber sole.

How do I clean the white leather lining?

For the leather lining, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe down the surface, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Allow it to air dry completely.

Are these shoes authentic adidas products?

Yes, these adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes feature all the authentic branding, materials, and design details characteristic of genuine adidas Originals products, including the Trefoil logo and Goldfoil Gazelle inscription.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and lift dirt. For tougher areas, use an eraser designed for suede.

Shoes are squeaking when I walk

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside or between layers. Try removing the insoles and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe to absorb moisture. If the squeak persists, check if the tongue or laces are rubbing.

Stains on the suede that won't come off

For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions carefully. For oil-based stains, a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder can be applied to absorb the oil before brushing it off.

Laces feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lacing system to your preference. You can re-lace them using different techniques (e.g., straight lacing for a tighter fit or skipping eyelets for more room) to find what works best for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Product Care

Caring for your suede Gazelles is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the material.
  • Protecting Suede: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store your Gazelles in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the suede.
