FAQs
How do I clean the leather on my adidas Gazelle Bold?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these shoes suitable for actual running?
While the description mentions 'from running to casual outings,' the Gazelle Bold is primarily a lifestyle sneaker. It's suitable for light activities and casual walking, but for serious or high-impact running, dedicated running shoes are recommended for optimal support and cushioning.
What is the 'Bold' feature in these Gazelles?
The 'Bold' designation refers to the stacked three-layer sole, which gives the classic Gazelle silhouette an elevated, contemporary look and increased height compared to the original design.
Are adidas Gazelle Bold true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size. For this specific model (UK 9), it's recommended to order your usual shoe size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals, so consider trying them on if unsure.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
The leather material can withstand light moisture, but it's best to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the leather from damage and staining. Applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather can offer added protection.
Is this model available for men too?
This specific variant (HQ6912) is listed with a 'Female' gender attribute. However, the Gazelle line generally has a unisex appeal, and similar 'Bold' styles may be available in broader sizing or designated as unisex. Please check other product listings for alternative options.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner according to its instructions. This will moisturize the leather and restore its natural sheen.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair cream or polish in a matching color can help camouflage the mark.
White sole has dirt marks
Use a magic eraser or a sneaker sole cleaner to gently scrub off dirt and scuffs from the rubber sole. A toothbrush can help with textured areas.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles and applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch underneath. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole structure, requiring professional attention.

- Spot Treatment: For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against spills and moisture.
