FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size, but fit can vary slightly. It's generally recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size. If you're between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these for sports or running?
While the Gazelle has roots in athletic footwear, the Indoor model is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. It is not recommended for high-performance sports, running, or intense physical activities as it lacks the specialized support and cushioning needed for such uses.
How do I protect the leather from water damage?
To protect the leather from water and stains, apply a suitable water and stain protector spray designed for leather footwear. Always follow the product's instructions and reapply periodically, especially during wet weather.
What is the gum sole made of?
The transparent gum sole is made of natural rubber. This material provides good grip and contributes to the shoe's distinctive retro aesthetic.
How often should I clean my leather Gazelles?
The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For regular use, a quick wipe-down after each wear helps. A more thorough cleaning and conditioning can be done monthly or as needed to remove deeper dirt and keep the leather supple.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their low padded collar and adaptable leather upper, many users find the Gazelle Indoor comfortable for all-day casual wear once they are broken in. The classic flat sole provides a stable base.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner. Clean the surface first to remove any accumulated grime, then apply the conditioner evenly with a soft cloth and buff gently.
Stains on the leather upper.
For light stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For more persistent stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thicker socks can also help prevent rubbing during this period.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes squeaking comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replacing the insole. If the squeak is from the outsole, check for any debris caught in the gum sole.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (and then removed), or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and combat odors. Avoid wearing the same pair every day to allow them to dry completely.

Care Instructions for Leather Upper:
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather Gazelle Indoor sneakers, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for leather to create a barrier against the elements.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
