FAQs
What material is the upper made of for this specific Gazelle Indoor model?
The upper of this particular adidas Gazelle Indoor Better Scarlet is crafted from genuine leather, providing a premium look and feel.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports activities?
While comfortable for everyday wear, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker and is not intended for high-performance running or intense sports activities.
How do I clean the semi-transparent gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole can be effectively cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. A soft brush can help to remove dirt and grime from the textured areas. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Is the 'Better Scarlet' color vibrant in person?
Yes, the 'Better Scarlet' color is a vibrant, bold red hue. While efforts are made for color accuracy in product images, slight variations can occur due to screen settings and lighting. It is designed to be a striking and deep red.
What is the typical fit for a UK 12 in the Gazelle series?
Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size. For a UK 12, it should offer a standard fit. If you are typically between sizes, it's often recommended to try your usual adidas size or consult a detailed size chart. The leather upper may stretch slightly with wear for a personalized fit.
Can I wear these Gazelle sneakers in wet weather?
While the genuine leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions should be avoided. Applying a quality leather protector spray can enhance their water resistance for light dampness.
Troubleshooting
Stains or dirt on the leather upper
For light dirt, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe clean. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather appears dry, stiff, or is starting to crack
Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner. This helps to moisturize the leather, keeping it supple and preventing drying and cracking over time. Follow the conditioner product's instructions for optimal results.
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight
Ensure you have the correct size; Adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size. Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape, so wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or appropriate socks.

Care

- Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently wipe the genuine leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks or deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Regularly apply a high-quality leather protector spray. This helps create a barrier against water, stains, and environmental elements, extending the life and appearance of the leather.
- Drying: If your sneakers become wet, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their original shape and prevent creasing. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as leather needs to breathe.
