FAQs
How should I clean the suede upper?
For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner applied according to its instructions is recommended. Always allow shoes to air dry completely after cleaning.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, the suede material is sensitive to water. It is generally advised to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions to preserve their appearance and material integrity.
Are these sneakers true to size?
The adidas Gazelle line generally fits true to size. It is recommended to select your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor Better Scarlet is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual fashion sneaker, reimagining a heritage indoor sports shoe. It is not intended for high-performance athletic activities or strenuous sports.
What is the material of the 3-Stripes and heel tab?
The iconic 3-Stripes logo and the heel tab are crafted from contrasting Cloud White leather, adding a timeless touch to the design.
How can I prevent the color from fading?
To prevent color fading, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a high-quality UV-protective spray specifically for suede can also help maintain the vibrancy of the color over time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
Suede appears matted or flattened
Brush the suede gently in one direction with a suede brush to restore the nap and original texture of the material.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially. The suede upper will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape over time, improving comfort with wear.
Fading color on the suede
Minimize exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Storing them in a cool, dark place and using a UV-protective spray designed for suede can help.

Care
Given the suede material on the upper, proper care is crucial to maintain the shoe's appearance:

- Regular Cleaning:
- Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or specialized cleaner designed for suede. Apply sparingly and follow product instructions.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive moisture, which can damage the suede.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash suede shoes. This can severely damage the material and structure.
