FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While inspired by indoor training shoes, the Gazelle Indoor Collegiate Green Gum are best suited for casual wear and light recreational activities due to their materials and design.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the suede.
What does 'Collegiate Green Gum' refer to?
'Collegiate Green' refers to the primary green color of the suede upper, while 'Gum' refers to the semi-transparent gum rubber outsole.
What is the difference between Gazelle and Gazelle Indoor?
The Gazelle Indoor models are often designed with specific indoor court performance features and sometimes subtler aesthetics compared to the broader Gazelle line, though both share a similar heritage silhouette.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas Gazelle Indoor models run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check size guides and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet or rainy conditions, as moisture can damage the material and cause staining. Use protective sprays if you anticipate light moisture.
What materials are the 3-Stripes and heel tab made of?
The 3-Stripes logo, heel tab, and collar lining are made of 'Footwear White' leather.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent issues, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole showing dirt
Gently clean the outsole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Creasing on suede upper
Some creasing is natural with suede. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Laces getting dirty
Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or replace them if heavily soiled.
