FAQs
What material are the adidas Gazelle Indoor trainers made from?
The upper is made from 100% soft suede, offering an authentic retro look and feel.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
While they offer stability and comfort for everyday activities, they are primarily designed for casual wear and retro style, not high-performance athletic training.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, and always allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the fit like for the Gazelle Indoor?
The low-cut, lace-up design allows for a personalized fit that contours to the foot. It's recommended to try them on or consult a size guide for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve the material.
What does 'Preloved Brown' refer to?
'Preloved Brown' describes the washed-out, vintage-inspired shade of brown, evoking a classic 1970s aesthetic.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Gazelle Indoor model is available in other colors, such as black and white. Please check other listings for available variations.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The natural suede material will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Color transfer to socks
This can occasionally happen with darker suede. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing, and consider using a suede protector spray which can sometimes help mitigate color bleeding.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but like all footwear, traction can vary. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For extremely slippery conditions, consider the environment of use.
