The primary material for the upper is soft suede, complemented by Footwear White leather accents on the 3-Stripes, heel tab, and collar lining.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While inspired by indoor training shoes, the Gazelle Indoor is best suited for casual wear and light activities. It is not designed for high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede upper?

What is the significance of the T-shaped toebox?
The T-shaped toebox is a design feature that provides reinforcement and protection to the front of the shoe, enhancing its durability.
What are the leather accents made of?
The serrated 3-Stripes, heel tab, and collar lining feature Footwear White leather.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent marks, try a suede eraser.
Leather stripes or heel tab are scuffed
For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner or conditioner may help restore the appearance. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole is discolored
Light discoloration on gum soles is common. Try cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
Fit feels too snug
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If immediately too tight, consider wearing with thinner socks or trying a half-size larger if possible, following the brand's return policy.
