FAQs
How do I clean the leather on my adidas Gazelle Bold sneakers?
For basic cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle models tend to fit true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting adidas's official size chart. The specific product is UK 7.5.
Can I wear my Gazelle Bold sneakers in the rain?
While the leather offers some natural water resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain the shoe's condition. Consider using a protective spray.
What is the main difference between the Gazelle Bold and the standard Gazelle?
The primary difference is the 'Bold' version's distinctive stacked, three-layer sole, which provides an elevated platform and a more contemporary, fashion-forward look compared to the traditional flat sole of the classic Gazelle.
What type of socks should I wear with these sneakers?
The choice of socks depends on personal preference and desired style. No-show socks are popular for a sleek, casual look, while crew or athletic socks can be worn for added comfort or warmth, especially if complementing the outfit.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: [Insole removability can vary by model and production run. Please check your specific pair of Gazelle Bold sneakers.]
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather
Gently rub the scuff with a soft, clean cloth. For more persistent marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner or conditioner on a cloth and buff gently.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped inside the shoe or between layers of the sole. Try removing the insole (if removable), clean the interior, and let both the shoe and insole air dry completely. A light dusting of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can also help reduce friction.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially, gradually increasing wear time. Leather will soften and mold to your foot over time.
Discoloration or yellowing of the white stacked sole
Clean the sole regularly with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. For stubborn discoloration, a dedicated sole cleaner or a baking soda paste (baking soda mixed with a small amount of water) can be applied, gently scrubbed, and rinsed.

Care Instructions:
- Leather Cleaning: For the leather upper, gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly according to the product's instructions.
- Sole Cleaning: Clean the stacked rubber sole with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray specifically designed for footwear to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
