FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While the Gazelle was originally an indoor sports shoe, the current design has evolved into a casual style. They are best suited for everyday wear and casual outings, not high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or dedicated suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow them to air dry naturally if they get wet.

Is the sole durable?

Yes, the trainers feature a durable gum rubber outsole, known for its reliable traction and long-lasting quality, contributing to the shoe's unique aesthetic.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, due to the suede upper, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and prolong the lifespan of your shoes.

What kind of outfits do these trainers pair well with?

Their versatile, retro-inspired design makes them ideal for a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, skirts, and casual dresses, adding a refined touch to your look.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The lace closure allows for a personalized fit. Adjust the laces to your comfort level. If unsure about sizing, refer to adidas's official sizing guide or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps to restore its texture and appearance.

Visible dirt or stains on the suede

For dry dirt, use a suede eraser to gently rub away the marks. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to air dry before brushing. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are tying a proper knot. For extra security, consider double-knotting your laces. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques for a tighter hold.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talc inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. The lace closure allows for adjustment; try loosening or tightening the laces to achieve a more comfortable, personalized fit. Wear appropriate socks.

Care Instructions

To ensure your suede trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:

  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing.
  4. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help retain their shape.
