FAQs
Are these suitable for sports or intense physical activity?
While inspired by indoor training shoes, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is primarily designed for casual wear and style. Its construction and gum sole provide comfort and traction for everyday movement, but they are not intended for high-performance sports or rigorous athletic activities.
How do I ensure the leather lasts a long time?
To maximize the lifespan of your leather Gazelle Indoor trainers, regularly clean them with a damp cloth, condition the leather periodically to keep it supple, and protect them from excessive moisture or direct heat. Proper storage in a cool, dry place also helps.
Is the sizing true to size?
adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary, so referring to adidas's official size guide or trying them on if possible is recommended for the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather from water damage and staining. A leather-specific water repellent spray can offer additional protection.
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It is a global multi-stakeholder community that assesses the environmental performance of tanneries and promotes sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices within the leather industry. Using LWG leather signifies a commitment to more responsible leather sourcing.
Are the insoles removable for orthotics?
The product description does not specify if the insoles are easily removable. Generally, standard adidas Gazelle insoles are integrated and not designed for simple removal. If you require custom orthotics, it's advisable to verify fit before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for smooth leather. Gently buff with a soft cloth after application, following the product's instructions.
Scuff marks on the leather upper.
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a small amount of leather cleaner or a specialized leather balm, buffing lightly until the mark is reduced.
Sole feels slippery, especially indoors.
Ensure the translucent gum sole is clean of any dust, debris, or wax buildup. Wipe with a damp cloth. The sole is designed for indoor traction, but extreme smooth or polished surfaces may reduce grip.
Laces frequently come untied.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely. Try using a 'surgeon's knot' or simply double knotting them to prevent them from loosening during wear.

Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults, with the specific model being UK 7.5 and gender specified as male. However, the Gazelle design is widely considered unisex in aesthetic.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather Gazelle Indoor trainers.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the smooth leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for smooth leather. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Conditioning: To prevent the leather from drying out, cracking, and to maintain its suppleness, apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. This will nourish the leather and help preserve its original finish.
- Sole Care: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. A soft brush can be used for cleaning the grooves for better traction.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage and stiffen the leather. Stuffing the shoes with crumpled newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather footwear to add an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
