FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed for casual wear and light indoor sports activities, thanks to its gum rubber outsole optimized for indoor surfaces. While you can wear them casually outdoors, they are not recommended for intense outdoor sports or activities where specific outdoor traction is required.
How do I maintain the black suede upper?
To maintain the suede, avoid exposing it to water. Apply a suede protector spray regularly. For cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas shoes?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size. We recommend trying them on if possible or referring to the standard adidas size guide for the most accurate fit.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
These shoes feature a cushioned insole for general comfort. While they provide some underfoot cushioning, specific advanced arch support features are not highlighted. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
What does 'Core Black' mean?
'Core Black' refers to the deep, rich black color of the shoe's upper, which is designed to be a versatile and sophisticated shade that pairs easily with various outfits.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, it's best to avoid wearing these shoes in wet weather conditions as water can stain or damage the suede. Applying a waterproof suede protector can offer some resistance but is not a substitute for avoiding heavy rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a small amount of specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. While these shoes have a cushioned insole, allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or a thin insole.
Lack of grip on certain outdoor surfaces
These shoes feature a gum rubber outsole optimized for indoor traction. While suitable for casual outdoor wear, their performance on wet, slippery, or uneven outdoor surfaces may not be optimal. Exercise caution.
Squeaky soles when walking
This can sometimes happen with new shoes or if moisture gets between the insole and outsole. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may diminish with wear.

Care Instructions
Given the premium black suede upper, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape.
