FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Gazelle Indoor trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer good grip for everyday activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic performance.
How should I clean the white stripes and sole?
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the white stripes and the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn dirt on the sole, a soft brush can be used.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in the rain, as water can damage the material, cause stains, and alter the texture. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with acid-free paper can help maintain their shape.
How do the sizing of the Gazelle Indoor trainers compare to other adidas shoes?
The Gazelle Indoor generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a slightly more relaxed fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper of these Gazelle Indoor trainers is primarily made of suede, contributing to their classic look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in multiple directions to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Light scuff marks on suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub out the marks. For deeper scuffs, a suede brush may help.
Discoloration from water exposure
Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, attempt to restore colour and texture with a suede brush. For significant discoloration, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with standard flat trainer laces of a similar length and colour for a seamless look.

Care Instructions:
