adidas Gazelle - Core Black/Footwear White - Suede - UK 8.5

Generally, the adidas Gazelle Bold fits true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. If you are uncertain or between sizes, it's often recommended to consult a size guide or try them on.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush for daily maintenance and a suede eraser for scuffs or dry stains. Avoid water and harsh chemical cleaners directly on the suede. It's also recommended to use a suede protector spray before wearing them.

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to rain or heavy moisture can stain or damage the material. If you must wear them in light dampness, ensure they are pre-treated with a high-quality water-repellent suede protector.

The Gazelle Bold updates the classic Gazelle with a triple-stacked gum outsole, giving it a significantly elevated and 'bold' platform look. It retains many of the original's heritage design cues like the premium suede upper and T-toe overlay, but with a modern, higher profile.

The Gazelle Bold is designed for casual, everyday wear and fashion. While comfortable for general use, the platform sole provides a different feel than a traditional flat sneaker. Comfort for 'all-day' wear can be subjective, but they are generally well-regarded for moderate periods of walking and standing.

As with any white material, the Footwear White stripes and leather heel tab can show dirt more readily than the black suede. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap can help maintain their crisp appearance.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to lift the fibers.

Apply a suede eraser (available at shoe care stores) to the affected area. Gently rub the eraser over the scuff, then use a suede brush to remove residue.

Clean the gum outsole using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For tougher grime, a soft-bristled brush can be used. Wipe thoroughly and ensure no water or soap contacts the suede.

Adjust the lacing. Ensure you are lacing them consistently from bottom to top, allowing for even distribution of pressure. Consider trying different lacing patterns for a more customized fit.
