Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

Nice shoes - These shoes are an ace everytime. I love them. I also thought they were much more comfortable than I had read on the other reviews.

Old-School Style--But Old-School Cushioning, Too - I'm very pleased overall with these shoes. However, it's worth noting that their authentic old-school styling extends to the cushioning, too. I find these rather stiff in the sole, and not very cushy.

Cool sneaks - Very cool looking; pretty comfortable, but not as much support as "modern" sneaks. These ran 1/2 too big--usually an 11 in Adidas, but took a 10 1/2 in these--but Zappos was great about the return.

Got my vote!! Several years ago I "found" Rod Lavers. I have narrow feet with a high arch. I went back to wearing a "tennis shoe." There is NOTHING like a Rod Laver!! The comfort and fit are exceptional. And when I wear a pair out and need new ones, I go to Zappos first!! Incredible for all day standing.

The "Old Skool" look that never looks old... Although I'm not much of a tennis player, these shoes go great w/ any pair of jeans and t-shirt combo! Not too flashy like some other "retro" shoes, these are the real thing...

Most favorite shoe ever!! I love these shoes. Always have. I had a pair for about 5 years when I was in college. Glad I found them on Zappos.

Best "Tennis" shoe ever? The Rod Laver "tennis" shoe is the best casual wearing shoe ever! This shoe goes with everything, jeans, khakis, shorts whatever casual dress you’re going with. I will purchase 1 or 2 pairs every year. Thanks Zappos for continuing to carry the Rod Laver classic "tennis" shoe.

Rod Laver rocks - Everything I wanted and more.

Rod Laver - Great shoe, a little stiff coming out of the box - but I love them!

Comfortable and Cute!! This shoe is everything that I thought a pair of Adidas would be; comfortable, affordable and cute. I wear this shoe to work and I'm on my feet all day, and this shoe keeps up with me and I love it!!

True Tennis Shoe - Would recommend. Looks good with shorts or jeans, even could pull off with khakis. Very versatile, very classic. Just great all around tennis shoe.

I love My Rod Lavers' I have worn Adidas for many years and have been looking for my style of shoe. The "Rod Lavers" are just my style, very, very comfortable and good looking. My son has now purchased a pair also. Thanks you Zappos for having these shoes. Les S

Classics - I've always loved these, but they don't make them in a 15, so I tried a 14 anyway. They took awhile to stretch out, but now they're fairly comfortable. Great Shoes.

Cute, lightweight, comfortable shoes. No arch support whatsoever, but I love the classic green.

Good shoe

These are an updated yet traditional version of the original. It fits well, is very comfortable, just needs a bit of wearing in. I recommend stain guarding them or they won't be white for long!

These Adidas are true to size. Look awesome with shorts or jeans. They are a dress shoe more than a sports sneaker. Inner sole is very hard so you can walk around in them for a better part of the day but not every day.

Great shoes and lightning quick delivery. However the rubber soles of the shoes are a bit thick and heavy, more than I would have expected. Not a dealbreaker.

Simple yet stylish old school tennis shoes. I was looking for a shoe that was good for travel but could be used for an occasional tennis game. These fit the bill. Okay fit and comfort.

Took a while to get comfortable and I had to buy additional supportive insole. Fine for tennis now. Heel looks like it may wear through soon.

I read a bunch of negative reviews of this shoe on the Adidas site and was almost scared off from buying them, but was so sick of how unsupportive my Converse All Stars were and just really craved a basic looking sneaker to wear on the weekends while leading my middle aged working Mom lifestyle. Well I am so glad I gave them a try because they are everything I was looking for. Super comfortable, cute enough, and not heavy at all. I am not using them to play tennis, but I walked 4 miles or so in them the other day and they felt great. I love these shoes. If you are looking for a more comfortable alternative to Converse I strongly advise trying these out. Note, I wear a 7.5 or a 7 and got these in a 5.5 mens and they fit great.

I normally wear a 6 1/2 women's and so I ordered the suggested 5 1/2 men's and that was a mistake--definitely order 1/2 size smaller than usual. Additionally, from what I hear these are klonkier and heavier than previous issues, which IS disappointing, but unless you plan on playing a sport in these, you should be good. The sneakers look quite cool, of course, so any missteps (pun) in engineering are forgiven by truly iconic styling.

I really like the retro style and quality construction, with the leather bumper around the edge. This is definitely a firmer shoe than a running shoe. The soft support is in the front of the foot and the arch support is only moderate. Since I have a pronation tendency I had to buy a more supportive insole for maximum comfort. I bought these for tennis and they are fine.

Love these sneakers. True to size - I wear an 8.5 US. The only thing I hate is that they get dirty so easily and quickly. I even sprayed them with a protective coating; it doesn't seem to help.

Great product for the price. Because of minimal padding, the edge of the tongue can pinch a little towards the toes.
