FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, while the Gazelle line has roots in athletic footwear, the Gazelle Indoor is a lifestyle shoe designed for casual wear and comfort, not high-performance running or sports. Its construction and sole are optimized for everyday use.
How do I prevent my suede Gazelles from getting dirty?
The best way is to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time. Regular gentle brushing can also help prevent dirt buildup. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions.
What does 'LWG leather' mean?
'LWG leather' refers to leather sourced through the Leather Working Group, an organization that promotes sustainable and appropriate environmental business practices within the leather industry. This indicates a more eco-conscious approach to material sourcing.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain. Water can stain and damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then restore the nap with a suede brush.
Are the adidas Gazelle Indoor true to size?
The adidas Gazelle Indoor typically runs true to size with a regular fit. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying your usual size first.
How often should I clean my suede Gazelles?
Regular, light cleaning with a suede brush after each wear can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning with a suede cleaner should be done as needed for stains or significant dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush in one direction to restore its original texture and lift the nap.
Water stains on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry completely naturally. Then, use a suede brush to gently buff away the stain. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and rub the entire affected area to create an even dampness, then allow to dry and brush again.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The translucent gum sole is optimized for indoor comfort and urban casual wear. While generally good, it's not designed for wet or icy conditions. Exercise caution on slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean of debris that might reduce grip.
Shoe fit feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The Gazelle Indoor has a regular fit. If new, allow a short break-in period. Adjust lacing for optimal comfort; avoid lacing too tightly or too loosely. Consider wearing appropriate socks.

These sneakers require no special setup beyond lacing them up to your preferred tightness. They are designed for adult wearers (UK 9 for this specific model) and are highly compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, from denim to tracksuits. For care, suede requires particular attention:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
- Cleaning: For superficial dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Avoid storing in plastic bags which can trap moisture.
