FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual indoor sports?
While the original Gazelle was designed for indoor sports, the modern Gazelle Indoor is primarily marketed and used as a street fashion shoe. For optimal performance in contemporary sports, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I ensure the orange leather color doesn't fade?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Using a UV protectant spray specifically for leather can help preserve the vibrant orange hue.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes vary. If you are unsure, referring to an adidas size chart or trying them on is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather to offer some protection.
What is the best way to clean the white laces?
Remove the laces from the shoes. You can hand-wash them with a mild soap and water solution, gently scrubbing with a soft brush, then rinse and air dry.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor features a relatively flat, low-profile sole. It provides basic comfort but may not offer extensive arch support for individuals who require it. Aftermarket insoles can be used for additional support if needed.
What is the durability of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole is known for its durability and good grip. With regular casual use and proper care, it should provide long-lasting wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or cream using a soft cloth. Buff gently to restore shine and moisture.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper requires a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Outsole loses grip.
Clean the gum rubber outsole thoroughly with a brush and soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be reducing traction.
Stains on the leather.
Address stains immediately. For minor stains, a damp cloth might suffice. For more stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather, following product instructions carefully.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Remove insoles if possible and air out shoes. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your leather Gazelle Indoor shoes:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Gently wipe away dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the leather. For scuffs, a specialized leather conditioner can help.
- Cleaning the Gum Outsole: A soft brush and mild soap with water can be used to clean the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause leather to crack or fade.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Protecting: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the orange colour.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if they get dirty.
