FAQs
Are the Gazelle Indoor trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by training shoes, the Gazelle Indoor is best suited for casual wear and light activities. They are not designed as performance running shoes.
How do I clean the gum sole?
Wipe the gum sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a soft brush or a non-abrasive cleaning solution can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and cause staining. Consider using a suede protector spray for light water resistance.
What does 'Collegiate Green Gum' refer to?
Collegiate Green refers to the specific shade of green used for the suede upper, and Gum refers to the color and material of the rubber outsole.
How do I maintain the suede material?
Regular brushing with a suede brush is key. For stains, use a suede eraser or specialized cleaner. Protectant sprays can offer some defense against dirt and moisture.
What is the main difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor is typically a more streamlined version with design elements often geared towards indoor court use, while the standard Gazelle might have slightly different construction or sole patterns for broader use.
Where can I find other colorways or sizes?
Information on variant colorways and sizes can often be found through the brand's official website or authorized retailers.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Gum sole is discolored
Try cleaning with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. For scuffs, a magic eraser might be effective but use with caution to avoid damaging the suede.
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider the fit of socks. For persistent fit issues, consider trying a different size if possible.
Color transfer from suede to socks
This can occur with new suede. Wash socks separately for the first few wears. If it continues, the dye may not be fully set.
