The upper of this specific adidas Gazelle Indoor variant is crafted from high-quality leather in 'Better Scarlet' color, providing a rich look and feel.
How should I clean these leather Gazelle shoes?

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
No, these adidas Gazelle Indoor sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and style. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities or sports.
Do adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to run true to size. However, individual fit can vary, so it's always recommended to consult an adidas size chart or try them on if possible.
What kind of traction does the outsole provide?
The semi-transparent gum rubber outsole is designed to offer reliable traction on a variety of everyday surfaces, making them suitable for urban and casual environments.
Will the leather upper crease over time?
Yes, like most leather footwear, creasing is a natural characteristic that occurs with wear. Regular conditioning can help keep the leather supple and minimize the appearance of creases.
What is 'Better Scarlet'?
'Better Scarlet' refers to the specific vibrant red color shade used for the leather upper and other elements of this particular shoe design.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream. Ensure the shoes are clean before application and follow the conditioner's instructions for best results. This will restore moisture and luster to the leather.
Stains on the leather upper are not coming off with a damp cloth.
For more stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration. If the stain persists, consider consulting a professional shoe cleaning service.
Shoes feel too stiff initially.
Leather shoes naturally require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to the shape of your feet. Regular wear will gradually improve comfort and flexibility.

- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its natural luster.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage or crack the leather.
