FAQs
How do I choose the right size for these trainers?
These trainers are listed in UK sizing. It is crucial to try them on to confirm the fit, as the box or label may display US/Euro sizes that do not always align with standard conversions. Focus on the UK size and personal comfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The suede material can be damaged by water and harsh detergents. Follow the specific care instructions for suede cleaning.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
The Gazelle Bold Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and fashion. While comfortable for everyday walking, they are not engineered for athletic performance, running, or high-impact sports.
How do I protect the suede from water damage?
Applying a good quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time, and then periodically, can help repel water and stains. However, avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
What is the platform height?
Info needed: [Specific platform height measurement]
Do these trainers come with different coloured laces?
The product typically comes with laces that complement its bold colour scheme. If alternative colours are desired, these would need to be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and a suede cleaner for deeper marks. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Adjust the lacing for a more customized fit. Allow for a short break-in period, as suede can conform to your foot shape over time.
Sole has lost some grip.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
Laces appear worn or discolored.
Replace the laces with new ones. adidas Originals often sells replacement laces, or you can find universal ones that match the bold aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove your trainers from their packaging.
- Sizing Check: Before wearing, try them on to ensure the UK size is comfortable and fits well. Pay attention to how your toes feel at the front and if your heel slips. Remember to disregard US/Euro size conversions if they don't match your expected UK fit.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Gazelle Bold trainers:
- Suede Upper: For general cleaning, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear should be used. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Rubber Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Ensure the sole is completely dry before storage.
- Lining: Wipe the interior with a damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry fully.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains, particularly in unpredictable weather conditions.
