FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Gazelle silhouette generally offers a regular fit. While leather will stretch and conform, for significantly wide feet, it's always recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.
Can I run in these sneakers?
While the original Gazelle was a training shoe, the Gazelle Bold, with its stacked sole, is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized performance running shoes would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the white three-stripe detail?
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mild soap solution or a sneaker cleaner to gently scrub the stripes. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.
What is the height added by the stacked sole?
The product description mentions 'stacked three layers high,' indicating a significant platform. While an exact measurement isn't provided, expect a noticeable elevation compared to standard sneakers.
Is the leather waterproof?
No, the buttery soft leather is not inherently waterproof. It's recommended to use a protective spray designed for leather to add water resistance and help protect against stains.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
Info needed: This specific product information does not indicate if extra laces are included. Typically, adidas Gazelle models come with one set of laces installed.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot. High-quality leather conditioner can also help accelerate this process.
Scuff marks appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or balm can often minimize their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 7. Adjust lacing for a snug but comfortable fit. The leather will stretch slightly with wear. Consider different sock thicknesses to fine-tune the fit.
Stacked sole looks dirty.
Wipe the rubber sole clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaner or a magic eraser can be effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Simply unbox and wear! For optimal comfort, ensure you're wearing appropriate socks. Take a few short walks to allow the leather to naturally break in and mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These sneakers are designed for adult females and complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual wardrobes. Their black colour makes them highly versatile, pairing well with denim, trousers, skirts, and dresses. They are suitable for various climates but should be protected from heavy rain to preserve the leather.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner following product instructions.
- 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 light moisture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
