FAQs
Are the Gazelle Bold trainers suitable for running?
No, the Gazelle Bold trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. They are not optimized for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
What is the main difference between Gazelle Bold and classic Gazelle?
The main difference is the platform sole on the Gazelle Bold, which adds extra height and a more contemporary, bolder aesthetic compared to the classic, flatter silhouette.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as it can stain and damage the material. The gum sole offers some grip, but the suede upper is best kept dry.
What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?
They pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, and athleisure wear. Their bold design makes them a statement piece.
Do they offer good arch support?
The Gazelle Bold trainers offer standard cushioning for casual wear. They do not typically feature specialized arch support and may not be ideal for individuals requiring significant support.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. The Gazelle Bold generally fits true to size for most wearers, but individual foot shapes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole is scuffed
Minor scuffs can sometimes be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser (used gently) might help, but test first.
Unusual noise when walking
Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight. Check for any debris caught in the sole or seams. Sometimes new shoes can squeak initially and this may resolve with wear.
Fit feels slightly tight initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions during the break-in period.
