FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?

While the original Gazelle was designed for indoor sports, the modern Gazelle Indoor model is primarily intended for casual wear and fashion due to its suede construction and updated design. We do not recommend them for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede cleaning solution and a clean cloth should be used, followed by gentle brushing. Always allow to air dry.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Adidas Gazelle models generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. We recommend checking Adidas' official size guide or trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these Gazelle Indoor shoes in rainy weather?

Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to heavy rain can damage the material and potentially cause staining. It's best to wear them in dry weather or apply a high-quality water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede for light protection.

What is the difference between the standard Gazelle and the Gazelle Indoor?

The Gazelle Indoor typically features a gum rubber outsole and often has a slightly different midsole profile and material finishes compared to the classic Gazelle, which might have a white rubber sole. The "Indoor" designation refers to its historical origin as an indoor sports shoe.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

Due to the leather lining, any comfortable sock material like cotton or synthetic blends will work well. The low-profile design also pairs nicely with no-show socks for a cleaner look.

How can I protect the vibrant red color from fading?

To protect the "Better Scarlet" color, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure. Store them in a cool, dark place. A UV-protective spray designed for suede can also offer an extra layer of defense.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flattened or matted.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore its nap and texture.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

These shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the leather lining and suede upper to conform to your foot shape.

Color seems to be fading or discolored in patches.

This can occur from sun exposure or improper cleaning. Ensure proper storage away from direct sunlight. If discolored, a professional suede cleaner might be able to help, or consider a suede dye for restoration.

Care

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and dab, rather than rub, the stained area.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.
  3. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to preserve their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
