FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor is designed as a lifestyle sneaker with classic sports aesthetics, suitable for everyday wear and light sports activities. For running or intense sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended for optimal support and performance.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes feature a standard cut. It is generally recommended to choose your usual adidas shoe size. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size chart or trying them on is advisable. This specific pair is a UK size 7 for adult males.
Can I clean the leather upper with water?
For general dirt, a soft, damp cloth is suitable. However, avoid saturating the leather with water. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the difference between leather and suede Gazelle Indoor models?
While both offer the classic Gazelle style, leather models like this one provide a smooth, durable finish that is generally easier to clean and condition. Suede models have a softer, napped texture that requires different cleaning methods (e.g., suede brush, specialized suede cleaner) and can be more susceptible to water stains.
Will the Collegiate Green color fade over time?
With proper care and protection from prolonged direct sunlight, the Collegiate Green color should maintain its vibrancy. Using a UV protectant spray for leather can offer additional safeguarding against fading.
Is the sole non-marking?
The durable rubber sole is generally designed to be non-marking on most indoor surfaces, making it suitable for environments where floor protection is important.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing duration. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time, enhancing comfort.
Leather appears dull or dry.
This is a sign the leather needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. This will restore moisture, shine, and suppleness.
White leather stripes or heel tab become discolored.
Gently clean white leather elements with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, or a specialized white leather cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying your laces firmly. Double-knotting can help. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces.

Care:
Proper care for your leather Gazelle Indoor sneakers is crucial for maintaining their appearance and longevity.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth. Always follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently or exposed to varying weather conditions.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather shoes to guard against elements and spills.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap solution to maintain traction and appearance.
