FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
While the Gazelle Indoor was originally designed for indoor sports in the 70s, the current iteration is primarily intended for casual, everyday wear and street style, not high-performance running or modern sports.
How do I clean the suede upper of my Gazelle Indoor Trainers?
For basic cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Always allow them to air dry completely.
Are Gazelle Indoor Trainers waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect them from moisture and stains.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers generally offer a standard fit. The lace closure allows for adjustment to achieve a secure and comfortable feel for most foot types. We recommend checking adidas's official size guide if you are unsure.
Can I wear these trainers all year round?
Yes, they can be worn year-round as a fashion statement. However, due to the suede material, it's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow to prevent damage and water stains.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
Any comfortable casual socks work well. For optimal breathability and comfort, especially if wearing for extended periods, socks made from moisture-wicking materials are a good choice.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed on the product.
Trainers feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lace tension. Loosen laces evenly for a more relaxed fit, or tighten them for greater security. Ensure laces are tied correctly.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insole is properly seated; sometimes a loose insole can rub against the shoe's interior. If not the insole, a sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can reduce friction.
Outsole seems to lose grip.
The gum rubber outsole provides good traction, but dirt or debris can reduce effectiveness. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any build-up.
Discoloration or fading of suede.
Direct prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause suede to fade. Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For existing fading, specialized suede dyes may be an option, but proceed with caution and professional advice.

Product Care & Maintenance
Given the premium suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gazelle Indoor Trainers.
- Cleaning Suede: For general dirt and dust, use a suede brush to gently brush the surface in one direction. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protecting Suede: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter. This helps repel water and stains, especially important as suede is not naturally waterproof.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Lining Care: The leather lining can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed. Ensure the interior dries completely before wearing again.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
