FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

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

How do Adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes typically fit?

Adidas Gazelle models generally fit true to size. We recommend checking Adidas' official size guide if you are unsure of your exact size to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The suede upper is not naturally waterproof. While light rain might be fine, we highly recommend applying a suede protector spray for water resistance and avoiding heavy rain to prevent water damage and staining.

What is the best way to clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can be effectively cleaned using a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For more stubborn scuffs or marks, a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a 'magic eraser' type product can be very effective.

Is the leather lining comfortable for extended wear?

Yes, the leather lining provides a smooth and comfortable interior, contributing to the shoe's overall comfort for all-day casual wear and adding to its premium feel.

What does 'Collegiate Green' refer to?

'Collegiate Green' is the specific shade of deep, rich green used on the suede upper of these shoes. It is a classic and versatile color choice for the Gazelle Indoor silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore its nap. For deeper grime, use a suede eraser followed by a suede cleaning solution as per product instructions.

Shoes got wet or stained by liquid.

Immediately blot excess liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and consider applying a suede protector for future prevention.

Color seems to be fading.

Protect your shoes from prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Ensure you are using color-neutral suede protectors and cleaners, or specific products for green suede if available.

Sole is squeaking.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe. If the squeaking persists, it may indicate a sole separation, requiring professional repair.

Care Instructions:

  1. Suede Protection: Before your first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains, significantly extending the life of the material.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a dedicated *suede eraser*. Gently rub the affected area to lift the stain.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a specialized *suede cleaner* solution. Follow the product instructions carefully, applying with a clean cloth or brush and allowing to air dry.
  5. Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. *Never* use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the suede and gum sole.
  6. Storage: Store your Gazelle Indoor shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation.
