FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Gazelle Indoor trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. They offer comfort for walking but do not provide the specialized cushioning or support needed for high-impact running.
How do I clean the white accents?
For the white accents, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently wipe the area and then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the surrounding suede.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and brush the suede once dry.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor models are often designed with a slightly slimmer profile and may feature different outsole constructions compared to the standard Gazelle, sometimes tailored for indoor court use historically, though now popular for lifestyle.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
Yes, the adidas Gazelle series is available in a wide range of colors and materials. This specific model is the Collegiate Purple variant.
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
Suede can offer some give. If you are between sizes, consider trying both if possible, or opting for the smaller size if you prefer a snugger fit that will adapt, or the larger size if you prioritize immediate comfort and space.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight.
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them with thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consult a professional.
Color transfer from suede to socks.
This can occasionally happen with darker suede. Ensure the suede is properly treated and conditioned. Wearing darker socks can also minimize the appearance of any minor transfer.
