FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While you can wear the Gazelle Indoor outdoors, their gum rubber outsole is optimized for excellent traction on indoor surfaces. For heavy outdoor use or wet conditions, shoes with more robust outdoor-specific soles might be preferable, and prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements can affect the suede.
How do I choose the right size?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Info needed: Consult adidas' official sizing chart for precise measurements.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede sneakers. The harsh cycles and detergents can damage the suede material and alter the shoe's structure. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor typically features a gum rubber outsole designed for better traction on indoor surfaces, often has a slightly different sole pattern, and sometimes includes subtle design variations like a reinforced toe cap or a different tongue material, while maintaining the classic Gazelle silhouette.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regular light brushing after each wear can help prevent dirt build-up. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, address issues as soon as they appear. Applying a suede protector every few months, especially if worn frequently, is also beneficial.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor features a cushioned insole for comfort, which provides a degree of general support. However, it is not specifically designed as an orthotic or high-arch support shoe. If you require significant arch support, you may consider using custom insoles.
What materials are used in these shoes?
These specific Gazelle Indoor sneakers feature a premium black suede upper, iconic white synthetic leather (or similar material) three-stripes, and a durable gum rubber outsole. The interior features textile lining and a cushioned insole.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush, always brushing in one direction to restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can help lift marks.
Shoes feel less grippy on indoor surfaces
Clean the gum rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt or dust. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing again.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
Sometimes moisture can get trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with talcum powder, and letting it air out before replacing the insole.

Care

- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a damp cloth with a specialized suede cleaner. Blot, do not rub aggressively.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
