FAQs
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The Adidas Gazelle Indoor is ideal for everyday casual wear and light indoor sports activities, offering both style and comfort.
How do I clean the suede upper?
To clean the suede, gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild solution, always blotting and avoiding saturation. Allow to air dry.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, their premium suede material and gum rubber outsole are optimized for indoor surfaces. They can be worn outdoors for casual purposes, but heavy outdoor use or wet conditions are not recommended due to suede's vulnerability.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from gum rubber, which provides excellent traction, particularly on indoor surfaces, and contributes to the shoe's retro aesthetic.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Adidas Gazelle models generally fit true to size. It's recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size for the best fit.
What makes the 'Indoor' version different from the classic Gazelle?
The 'Indoor' version typically features a gum rubber outsole designed for better traction on indoor court surfaces, and often includes subtle design updates like a reinforced toe cap, while maintaining the classic Gazelle silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to lift flattened fibers and remove surface dirt.
Suede has minor stains or scuffs.
Apply a small amount of suede cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water to a clean cloth. Gently blot the stain, avoiding harsh rubbing. For stubborn scuffs, use a suede eraser.
Shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable initially.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Traction seems reduced on indoor surfaces.
Inspect the gum rubber outsole for any embedded dirt or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove buildup that might be affecting grip.

- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth, rub gently, and allow to air dry. Avoid saturating the suede.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water damage and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
