FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
While the adidas Gazelle Indoor has origins in indoor sports, it has evolved into a casual lifestyle shoe. It is not designed for modern high-performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or intense training. It is best suited for everyday wear and light walking.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes typically run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If purchasing online, consult the adidas size chart and consider your usual shoe size for adidas footwear.
Can I wear these shoes in all weather conditions?
The breathable mesh upper and suede overlays make these shoes ideal for warmer, dry weather. They offer limited protection against rain or snow, and prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the materials.
What makes the 'Indoor' Gazelle different from the regular Gazelle?
The 'Indoor' variant often features differences in sole construction, such as the semi-translucent gum outsole, which originally provided enhanced grip on indoor courts. It may also incorporate different material mixes like the mesh upper seen here, offering distinct textures and breathability.
How often should I clean my Gazelle Indoor shoes?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions you wear them in. For regular use, a light cleaning every few weeks or as needed will help maintain their appearance. Address spills or stains immediately for best results.
Is it normal for the gum sole to have a slightly translucent appearance?
Yes, the semi-translucent nature of the gum rubber outsole is a characteristic design feature of the Gazelle Indoor. It contributes to its unique retro aesthetic and is part of the shoe's authentic styling.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive, especially across the instep. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for a break-in period.
The suede parts appear dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner following the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
The mesh upper looks discolored or dirty.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild soap and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the mesh fibers. Let them air dry completely.
The gum sole seems to have lost some grip.
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with water. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gazelle Indoor shoes.
- Cleaning Mesh Areas: Gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the affected area. Allow to air dry naturally. Do not saturate suede.
- Cleaning Gum Outsole: Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush can be used for more stubborn grime.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
