FAQs
Are these suitable for running or sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports, the adidas Gazelle Indoor is now primarily considered a casual lifestyle shoe. It is not recommended for high-impact sports like running or intensive training.
How do I choose the right size?
The size listed is UK 5.5. adidas Gazelle shoes generally fit true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult the adidas official size guide or try them on.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. While light drizzle is unlikely to cause immediate damage, it is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the materials. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the 'Eqt Orange' color like in person?
The 'Eqt Orange' is a vibrant, distinct shade of orange, tuned for a summery feel. It is a bold color choice that stands out.
What is the benefit of the gum rubber outsole?
The gum rubber outsole provides a classic, retro aesthetic that harkens back to the shoe's origins. It also offers good grip on various indoor and dry outdoor surfaces.
How often should I clean my Gazelle Indoor shoes?
Cleaning frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For general maintenance, a quick brush of the suede and wipe-down of the mesh after a few wears can keep them looking fresh. Deep clean as needed for stains.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to restore its nap and remove light dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions.
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
New shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Gum outsole appears discolored or scuffed
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or specialized rubber cleaner can often help restore its appearance.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gazelle Indoor shoes, especially the suede and mesh components:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Cleaning Mesh/Nylon: Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe down the mesh and nylon areas.
- Cleaning Gum Outsole: A damp cloth can be used to wipe off dirt from the rubber sole. For stubborn grime, a soft brush and mild cleaner can be effective.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile shoes to repel water and stains, especially for the orange mesh.
