I owned these shoes for a little over a year. The elastic strap that goes over the top of your foot had to go. I cut that out on day two. After that they were great. Wore them every day for a year straight. The heal stitching reinforcement finally gave out. I would say for 365+ days of abuse they handled it well.

Slightly tight/narrow - This shoe immediately felt great on my foot. ONCE I was able to get it on though. It is a little tough to get this shoe on with a regular pair of socks. With dress socks, no problem, but it has a limited width due to the construction. Unlike a tie shoe, you cannot open it wide up to get your foot in. This is the only complaint I have about the shoe. It feels good once on, looks great. I didn't order a bigger size because once on, the shoe is actually the correct size; the problem is a construction issue.

I wish they fit! These shoes look great, nice leather but the sizing is way off. I could not even get my foot into them without major effort. If it came in half sizes, I may have tried a half size up but that was not an option. I really did want these to work out.

I had 3 pair of the original Adidas shoes in 1970-1972 and wore them incessantly. They lasted a long time. When saw these "re-makes" I was excited and ordered them. They're good but they do not have the original leather uppers and although they are extremely light, I question how long they will last - we'll see but they sure look good and bring back great memories.

These shoes are really cool-looking. The white looks a little pearly, but it still looks great. However, they are definitely not waterproof, and they cut into one foot a little. They also do not seem durable, but I like the colors and style.
