FAQs
Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor shoes suitable for actual indoor sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports in the 70s, the modern Gazelle Indoor is primarily a fashion sneaker. For serious athletic performance in contemporary sports, dedicated sports footwear with modern technologies would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the leather upper of my Gazelle Indoor shoes?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, applying it gently with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe away any residue. Always finish with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
What is the main difference between leather and suede Gazelle Indoor models?
The primary difference is the material. Leather offers a smoother, more durable finish that is generally easier to wipe clean and provides a slightly more robust feel. Suede has a softer, more textured, and luxurious feel but requires specialized cleaning products and is more susceptible to water damage and staining.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Adidas Gazelle models typically run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shapes vary. If you are between sizes or unsure, it's often recommended to consult Adidas's official size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, these shoes are not waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can offer additional protection.
How can I prevent the leather from cracking?
Regular cleaning and conditioning are key to preventing leather from drying out and cracking. Use a good quality leather conditioner every few weeks, especially if worn frequently, and store them properly away from direct heat or sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Regular conditioning will restore luster and flexibility to the leather.
Scratches or scuffs on the leather upper
For light scuffs, gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, you may need a specialized leather repair cream or polish that matches the shoe's color. Consult a leather care professional if unsure.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole before replacing it.

Care Instructions
Given the leather material, proper care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning:
- For light dirt, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wipe off any cleaner residue with a clean damp cloth.
- Conditioning: After cleaning and drying, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important as leather can dry out over time.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Ensure the product is suitable for your shoe's leather type.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
