FAQs

How do I protect my suede Gazelle Indoor trainers from water?

It is highly recommended to treat your trainers with a high-quality `suede and nubuck protector spray` before first wear and reapply periodically, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture. This creates a protective barrier.

Can I wear these trainers for sports or athletic activities?

While the Gazelle has roots in indoor sports, the Indoor series, particularly with a suede upper, is now primarily designed for casual wear and style. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities due to the delicate nature of suede and the specific design for everyday comfort.

Are the adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers true to size?

Most customers find adidas Gazelle trainers to fit true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up. We recommend checking adidas' official sizing guide if you are unsure.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper of these adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers is made from premium `suede`, providing a distinctive soft texture and classic aesthetic.

How do I remove dirt from the suede?

For dry dirt and dust, use a `suede brush` to gently brush the surface in one direction. For stubborn spots or scuffs, a `suede eraser` can be used to lightly rub away the mark. Always avoid using water directly on suede unless it's a specialized cleaning solution designed for it.

Can I put my Gazelle Indoor trainers in the washing machine?

No, you should never put suede trainers in a washing machine. The harsh detergents, agitation, and excessive water can permanently damage the suede, alter its texture, and ruin the shoe's construction. Always opt for manual cleaning methods as described in the care section.

Are there other colours available besides Better Scarlet?

Yes, the adidas Gazelle Indoor series is available in a variety of colours and materials. Please check product listings for current availability of other colourways and material options.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently brush away surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit following the product instructions. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.

Water stains on suede.

If trainers get wet, gently blot excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn watermarks, a very light application of distilled water to the entire affected area (to even out the stain) can sometimes help, followed by air drying and brushing.

Scuffs or marks on the gum rubber outsole.

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a magic eraser. For tougher marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush, then wipe clean and dry.

Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable.

Suede trainers generally soften with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure you have the correct size; if discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or try different lacing techniques.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Gazelle Indoor trainers is straightforward. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, slip your feet in, and adjust the laces for a snug yet comfortable fit. There is no specific break-in period required, though suede can feel a bit stiff initially and will soften with wear.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair exceptionally well with:

  • Denim: Jeans of all washes and cuts.
  • Chinos & Trousers: Cotton or linen trousers for a sophisticated casual look.
  • Shorts: Especially denim or chino shorts for warmer weather.
  • Athleisure Wear: Joggers and hoodies for a relaxed, stylish ensemble.

They are less suited for formal wear, strenuous athletic activities, or heavy-duty outdoor work due to their material and design.

Care

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium look and longevity of your suede Gazelle Indoor trainers:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality `suede and nubuck protector spray`. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a `suede brush` to gently remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a `suede eraser` to gently rub away blemishes. For tougher stains, a specialized `suede cleaning solution` and soft brush can be used, following product instructions carefully.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. If trainers get wet, blot immediately with a clean cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not force dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
  6. Deep Cleaning: For extensive dirt or stains, consider professional suede cleaning services.
