FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Gazelle Indoor IG1596 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor models are often inspired by the original indoor sports shoes from the 1960s and 70s, featuring design elements suited for that purpose, while the standard Gazelle can be more of a general lifestyle trainer.
Does the gum sole provide good grip?
Yes, the gum rubber sole typically offers good grip on most indoor and dry outdoor surfaces, making them suitable for everyday walking.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. The gum sole might offer some traction, but the suede upper is not weather-resistant.
What are the white accents made of?
The white accents on the three stripes and heel tab are made of leather.
What UK shoe size is this product listing for?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 6.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.
Gum sole shows scuff marks
Gently rub scuff marks with a pencil eraser or a specialized shoe sole cleaner. For deeper marks, professional cleaning may be required.
Laces become worn
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. Ensure laces are threaded correctly for a secure fit.
Shoe feels too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially to allow them to stretch slightly. Avoid wearing them for extended periods until they feel comfortable.
