FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the adidas Originals Gazelle Bold are designed for casual, lifestyle wear and fashion purposes. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or durability required for running or performance sports.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to treat your suede Gazelles with a protective spray specifically designed for suede before their first wear. Reapply this spray periodically, especially after cleaning, to maintain their resistance against moisture and stains.
What does 'Bold' refer to in the product name?
The 'Bold' in the name refers to the distinctive triple-stacked rubber outsole, which gives the shoe an elevated, platform-like appearance compared to the traditional flat sole of classic Gazelle models.
Is the sizing true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If you are unsure, consider trying them on or consulting an adidas size guide.
What material is the shoe's lining?
The adidas Originals Gazelle Bold features a comfortable and durable synthetic lining, designed to enhance internal comfort during wear.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, washing machines can cause significant damage to the suede material, internal adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow manual cleaning instructions for suede to preserve their quality and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. Brush in a consistent direction to achieve an even texture and appearance.
Stains on suede upper
For light marks, use a suede eraser to gently rub the stain away. For tougher or set-in stains, use a suede cleaning solution specifically designed for suede, following the product's instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight or loose during wear
Ensure you have the correct shoe size. Adjust lacing for optimal comfort; sometimes loosening the laces at the bottom or tightening higher up the foot can help customize the fit.
Sole appears dirty or scuffed
Clean the rubber outsole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. A magic eraser can also work effectively for removing scuffs and marks from the rubber.

Care
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning, to maintain effectiveness.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a *suede brush* to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Always brush in one consistent direction. For tougher marks, use a *suede eraser* to gently rub away blemishes. For deep stains, use a *suede cleaning solution* according to product instructions, followed by brushing.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free paper to help maintain their original shape.
