FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

The Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion purposes. While comfortable for everyday activities, they are not intended for high-performance sports, intense physical training, or demanding athletic use.

How do I choose the right size?

We generally recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. Adidas Gazelle models typically fit true to size. If you are unsure or between sizes, you can refer to the official Adidas size chart for precise measurements and guidance.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Due to the suede upper, it's best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions. Suede can be prone to water damage, staining, and changes in texture when overly saturated. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

How often should I clean them?

Regular maintenance with a suede brush should be done after every few wears, or as needed to remove dust and maintain the nap. Deeper cleaning for stains should be addressed promptly. Applying a protective spray every few months, depending on wear frequency and conditions, is also recommended.

What is the 'gum rubber outsole'?

A gum rubber outsole is a type of sole made from natural or synthetic rubber that typically has a translucent, brownish-yellow appearance. It is highly valued for its excellent grip, flexibility, and durability, as well as its classic, retro aesthetic often associated with vintage sports shoes.

What does 'Better Scarlet' refer to?

'Better Scarlet' is the specific color name Adidas uses for this particular shade of red. It describes a vibrant, rich, and eye-catching red tone that is a prominent and distinctive feature of these trainers.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. The harsh agitation, high temperatures, and detergents in a washing machine can severely damage the suede material, alter its texture, cause color fading, and compromise the shoe's overall structure and adhesives. Always follow the specific hand-care instructions for suede.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flattened or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction, lifting the fibers and restoring its texture.

Water stains or dark spots appear on the suede.

Lightly dampen the entire affected area with a clean, damp cloth (avoiding saturation) and let it air dry completely. Once dry, brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner may be required.

Trainers develop an unpleasant odor.

Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then vacuum or shake it out thoroughly before wearing. Shoe deodorizers can also be effective.

Squeaking noise when walking.

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry, as trapped debris can sometimes cause noise.

Color fading on suede.

Store trainers away from direct sunlight. While some fading is natural over time, using a UV-protective suede spray can help mitigate this. For significant fading, professional re-dyeing might be an option.

Suede Care Instructions

Maintaining the suede material is crucial for preserving the appearance of your trainers. Consistent, gentle care will ensure they look great for longer.

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the surface. Always brush in one direction to restore the nap (the raised fibers) of the suede.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For small, fresh stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and a tiny amount of mild suede cleaner. Gently blot the stain; do not rub vigorously as this can spread the stain or damage the suede.
  3. Protection Spray: Before their first wear, and periodically thereafter, consider applying a quality suede protector spray. Always test the spray on an inconspicuous area of the shoe first to ensure it doesn't discolor the suede.
  4. Avoid Water Saturation: Suede is sensitive to excessive moisture. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the color. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb internal moisture.

General Maintenance

  • Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  • Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if they become dirty. Air dry them completely before re-lacing.
  • Odor Prevention: To prevent odors, allow your trainers to air out after each wear. If odors develop, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight (remove before wearing).
