FAQs
Are these adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes suitable for playing indoor sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports in the '70s, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is now primarily a lifestyle shoe. It is best suited for casual wear and fashion rather than high-performance athletic activities.
What materials are used in the upper of these shoes?
The upper features a combination of durable nylon or breathable mesh for the main body, complemented by classic suede overlays on key areas like the T-toe, eyestays, and the iconic 3-Stripes. This specific variant also features a leather lining.
How do I properly clean the suede parts of the shoe?
To clean suede, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and lift the nap. For tougher spots, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly. Always avoid saturating suede with water.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes typically fit true to size. For this specific variant, the UK size is 6.5. It's generally recommended to choose your usual adidas shoe size.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
While durable, the suede components are not ideal for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture, which can cause staining or damage. It's best to avoid wet conditions to preserve their appearance.
What type of outsole do these shoes have?
The shoes feature a semi-translucent gum rubber outsole. This material provides good traction on various surfaces and contributes significantly to the shoe's classic, retro aesthetic.
Is there much arch support in the Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor offers moderate arch support, consistent with many heritage-inspired sneakers. For individuals requiring more significant arch support, adding an aftermarket insole can be an option.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 6.5 for this variant). Allow for a short break-in period, as the materials may soften and conform to your foot with wear. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or consulting a sizing guide.
Suede sections appear dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid scrubbing vigorously or using harsh chemicals.
Gum rubber outsole is losing grip.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt, debris, or oil buildup that might be affecting traction. Use warm water and mild soap with a brush.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Allow the shoes to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing inserts. Wearing socks can also help prevent odor buildup.
Nylon or mesh upper looks dull or dirty.
Gently wipe the nylon or mesh areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid saturating the material. Air dry completely.
