FAQs
What materials are the adidas Gazelle Indoor 'Eqt Orange' made from?
This specific 'Eqt Orange' update features a breathable cotton mesh upper with traditional suede overlays for the T-toe, eyestays, and 3-Stripes. It also includes a comfortable leather lining and a gum rubber outsole.
Can I use these shoes for sports or working out?
While the Gazelle Indoor has roots in indoor sports, this modern version is primarily designed for casual wear and street style. It is not recommended for high-performance sports, running, or intensive workouts.
How do I clean my Gazelle Indoor shoes?
For the mesh upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. For suede parts, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner. The gum sole can be cleaned with soap and water. Always air dry.
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes to fit true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size chart or try them on.
What is the origin of the adidas Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor was originally created by adidas in the 1970s for indoor sports. It has since transitioned into a prominent silhouette in street culture, known for its timeless design and versatile appeal.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
Due to the mesh and suede construction, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. While the suede can be protected with sprays, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear dirty or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner as directed.
Shoes feel less breathable than expected.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the weather. For optimal breathability, avoid heavy cotton socks in very warm conditions.
Gum outsole looks dull or dirty.
Clean the outsole with a mild soap and water solution, using a soft brush to scrub away dirt. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Shoes feel uncomfortable during long walks.
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. While comfortable for casual wear, these are not performance shoes, so extended periods of intense walking might require different footwear. Consider trying different insoles for added support if needed.
Color of the mesh upper seems faded.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing, as UV rays can cause color fading over time. Store in a cool, dry place.

It's advisable to treat the suede with a protective spray before first wear to repel water and stains. The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with mild soap and water using a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction. Always allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
