FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?

While originally designed for indoor sports in the '70s, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers have evolved into a casual, streetwear shoe. They are not recommended for intensive athletic activities or running, but rather for everyday comfort and style.

How do I best clean the suede material?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid water saturation and always let them air dry.

Is the sole slippery?

The gum rubber outsole is designed to provide good grip on various surfaces. However, like all soles, performance can vary on extremely wet or polished surfaces. The translucent effect does not impact grip.

What does 'low-profile design' mean?

A low-profile design refers to a shoe that has a sleek, streamlined appearance with a relatively thin sole, giving it a closer-to-the-ground feel. This contributes to its elegant and classic aesthetic.

What is the material of the lining?

These trainers feature a durable and comfortable leather lining, which adds to their premium feel and longevity.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. The suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture, leading to stains or changes in texture. Always use a suede protector spray for water resistance.

How accurate is the sizing?

Adidas sizing typically runs true to size, but foot shape can vary. It's best to consult an Adidas sizing chart if you are unsure, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. This specific model is UK size 4.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner with a soft cloth. Always brush in the direction of the nap.

Water stains on suede

If trainers get wet, pat dry immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner may be needed.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are tying your laces securely. A double knot often provides more security for daily wear. Consider replacing worn laces if they are old and slippery.

Felt discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK 4, in this case). Wear appropriate socks to prevent rubbing. Allow for a break-in period as the materials conform to your foot.

Sole appears dirty or discoloured

The gum rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a shoe sole cleaner or magic eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

Care & Maintenance

Maintaining the premium suede upper is crucial for preserving the trainers' appearance and longevity. Follow these guidelines:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the suede's nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser or a soft cloth dampened with a specialized suede cleaner. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Water Exposure: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, pat them dry gently with a clean towel and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners on suede, as these can damage the material and colour.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Lining Care: The leather lining can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.
