FAQs

What material is the upper of the Adidas Gazelle Indoor?

The upper is primarily made of premium suede, offering a distinctive soft texture and classic aesthetic. This specific variant features a rich Collegiate Green colorway.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the Adidas Gazelle Indoor is designed as a lifestyle shoe for casual everyday wear. It is not intended for athletic activities like running, training, or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the suede upper?

To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser according to the product's instructions. Always avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as they can damage the suede.

Is the Adidas Gazelle Indoor true to size?

Generally, Adidas Gazelle models are considered true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. It's recommended to try them on or refer to Adidas's official sizing guide if you are unsure.

What is a gum sole?

A gum sole is a type of rubber sole that typically has a translucent, yellowish-brown appearance. It is highly valued for its excellent grip, flexibility, durability, and classic aesthetic, often found on heritage and lifestyle footwear.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the shoes can withstand light exposure, suede is sensitive to water and can stain or get damaged if exposed to heavy rain or prolonged moisture. It's highly recommended to treat them with a water and stain repellent spray for protection against the elements.

What occasions are best for wearing the Gazelle Indoor?

These shoes are ideal for everyday casual wear, social gatherings, urban exploration, and adding a stylish, retro touch to your outfit. They can be dressed up or down, making them a versatile choice for various informal settings.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. New suede shoes may require a short break-in period for the material to adapt to your foot. You can also try adjusting the lacing for a more relaxed fit, or consider thinner socks if they are slightly snug.

Gum sole has lost some grip.

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, performance will be reduced and replacement may be necessary.

Suede looks matted or flat.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap (texture) of the suede. Brush in one direction to achieve a uniform look. A suede eraser can also help lift matted areas and restore texture.

Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your suede Gazelle Indoor sneakers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, treat the suede uppers with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
  2. Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a soft suede brush to gently brush the nap (texture) of the suede in one direction. For stubborn marks or stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser, applying sparingly and following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them loosely with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage suede.
  4. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
