FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual sports or gym workouts?

While originally designed for indoor sports in the 70s, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor is now primarily a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For modern sports or gym workouts, we recommend choosing footwear specifically designed with contemporary athletic support and cushioning for performance and injury prevention.

How do I clean the suede upper?

For best results, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For deeper cleaning, use a suede cleaning solution according to its instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat, and never machine wash.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The suede upper is not naturally waterproof and can be damaged by water, leading to stains or discoloration. It's highly recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray designed for suede before wearing them in wet conditions, and to avoid heavy rain altogether to preserve their appearance.

What is the fit like for the Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor typically offers a standard fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both your usual size and half a size up or down to find your most comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for some adjustment to secure your foot.

What does 'gum rubber outsole' mean?

A gum rubber outsole is made from natural rubber, known for its good grip, durability, and distinctive brownish, often translucent appearance. It's a classic feature that contributes significantly to the shoe's retro aesthetic and provides reliable everyday traction.

Is the sizing for women's or men's?

This specific model is listed for 'Female' in the product attributes. Adidas often provides gender-specific sizing or unisex sizing with conversion charts. It's always best to refer to an Adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements if unsure or comparing to other brands.

How can I protect the color of the Lucid Pink suede?

To help maintain the vibrant Lucid Pink color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Regularly clean and protect the suede with appropriate products, and store shoes in a cool, dry place away from harsh light.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flattened or dull.

Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush, using short, swift strokes, to restore the nap and lift flattened fibers.

Shoes feel a bit stiff initially.

Wear them for short periods at first to break them in. The leather lining and suede upper will naturally soften and mold to your foot over time with wear.

Stains on the suede upper.

Act quickly. For dry stains, use a suede eraser. For wet stains, gently blot with a clean, absorbent cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain.

Gum sole losing its shine or looking dirty.

Clean the sole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles if possible for separate airing.

Care

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For minor stains, use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions, then brush gently when dry to restore the nap.
  2. Protecting Suede: Apply a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for suede before first wear and periodically thereafter.
  3. Cleaning Gum Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  4. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
