FAQs

How do I best clean the suede on these trainers?

For routine cleaning, gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and a soft cloth, following the cleaner's instructions carefully. Always allow them to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?

While the Gazelle design originated for indoor sports, these particular trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and street style. They offer comfort for daily activities but are not intended for high-performance athletic use.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Suede is not waterproof and can be easily damaged or stained by water. It is recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in rainy or wet conditions to preserve their appearance. Consider applying a suede protector spray for light moisture resistance.

What materials are these trainers made of?

The upper is made of soft suede, and the interior features a durable leather lining. The sole is made from translucent gum rubber.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb internal moisture, extending their lifespan.

What is the meaning of 'Indoor' in the product name?

The 'Indoor' designation refers to the original design intent in the 1970s, when the Gazelle was created for indoor sports. Today, it signifies its heritage and contributes to its iconic street culture status.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too slick or frayed.

Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Suede and leather materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

Slippery sole

Inspect the gum rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore traction. If the sole is heavily worn, it may be time for a new pair.

Care Instructions

Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede and leather trainers:

  • Suede Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently rub away marks in one direction. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and protector is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Leather Lining: Wipe the leather lining with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then air dry.
  • Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent staining and damage.
  • Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then air dry away from direct heat.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Outsole: Clean the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and maintain grip.
