FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, while the Gazelle has roots in training, the Gazelle Indoor model is designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday casual wear and comfort, not for performance running or intense sports activities.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

Before wearing, it's highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and common stains.

What is the 'gum sole' made of?

The gum sole is made from natural rubber, which provides excellent traction and contributes to the shoe's classic, retro aesthetic.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor features a regular fit. It's generally recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy or snowy weather?

Due to the suede upper, these shoes are not ideal for heavy rain or snow. Suede can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.

What is the 'T-toe overlay'?

The T-toe overlay is a distinct design feature on the front of the shoe, where a T-shaped panel is stitched over the toe box, adding to the Gazelle's iconic and durable construction.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently rub the affected areas in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth.

Shoes are slightly damp or wet after exposure to light moisture

Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not wear until fully dry.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, high-quality laces that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor comes with a traditional lace-up closure. Simply thread the laces through the eyelets and adjust for a snug, comfortable fit. The regular fit ensures they are ready to wear right out of the box with minimal break-in time.

Compatibility

These sneakers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of wardrobe choices:

  • Casual Wear: Pair with jeans, shorts, or joggers for a relaxed look.
  • Smart Casual: Can be dressed up with chinos, tailored trousers, or a casual blazer.
  • Color Palettes: The collegiate green works well with neutral tones (beige, grey, white, black) as well as complementary colors like navy or burgundy.

Care

Given the suede upper, proper care is essential to maintain the shoe's appearance and longevity.

  • Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  • Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a suede brush to gently remove debris. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or stiff brushes that can damage the suede fibers.
