FAQs

Are these suitable for sports activities?

No, while originating from indoor sports, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is now primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for casual wear and street fashion, not for athletic performance.

How do I choose the correct size?

These shoes typically run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The leather upper offers some water resistance, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain their appearance.

How often should I clean them?

Regular light cleaning after each wear is recommended to remove surface dirt. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, depending on how frequently they are worn and in what conditions.

What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor features a distinct gum rubber outsole, a more structured toe overlay, and typically a slightly different material mix than the standard Gazelle, reflecting its original indoor sports heritage.

Do the shoes come with extra laces?

Info needed: Check product packaging or product description for specific details on extra laces.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the leather upper.

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consider a leather repair kit.

Gum sole losing grip or looking dirty.

Clean the outsole regularly with a stiff brush, mild soap, and water to remove accumulated dirt and restore traction.

Laces frequently coming untied.

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). You can also replace laces if they are worn or slippery.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it.

Compatibility: These sneakers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with denim, cotton trousers, shorts, and can complement both vibrant and neutral color palettes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush, then wipe clean.
  2. Maintaining the Gum Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to scrub away dirt. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  3. Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed with mild detergent and air-dried if they become soiled.
  4. Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent leather damage.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees, to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
