FAQs

How do I clean the suede on my Gazelle Indoor Trainers?

For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner as per the product's instructions, testing on a hidden area first. Always let them air dry naturally.

Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?

While the Gazelle design originated as an indoor sports shoe, the modern Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and style. They are not recommended for rigorous athletic activities due to their material and construction.

Can I wear my Gazelle Indoor Trainers in the rain?

It's best to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the suede and leave stains. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection against light moisture.

What is the sizing like for Adidas Gazelle Indoor?

Adidas Gazelle trainers typically run true to size for most individuals. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult Adidas' official size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

What does 'Indoor' mean in the product name?

The 'Indoor' designation refers to the original Gazelle's debut in 1968 as an indoor sports shoe. While the current version is adapted for lifestyle, the name pays homage to its heritage.

How can I prevent creasing in the toe area?

Proper fit is key; trainers that are too loose can crease more. Using shoe trees when storing your trainers can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, use a suede cleaner following product instructions.

Trainers got wet and look stained.

Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent stains, consider a professional suede cleaning service.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot. You might also consider replacing the laces with ones that have more friction.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

This can sometimes occur if there's moisture or trapped air between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and ensuring it's completely dry before reinserting. If the squeak persists, professional cobbler advice may be needed.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your suede Gazelle Indoor Trainers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush is ideal) to gently remove surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before first wear and reapply periodically.
  4. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  5. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
