Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

Really nice shoes, they remind me of the old Stan Smith's that I wore years ago. Not as narrow as some Adidas shoes but I still ordered a half size larger and they fit well.

These shoes use quality materials and unparalleled workmanship. The medium width is true for the size 10 men's. The sole is molded and super grippy as a true court sneaker should be The fabric the shoe is made with the blue color is almost iridescent like an Amazonian butterfly. In my case, however, the overall fit was only 85 percent with the heel being either too high or the foot bed not conforming to the shape of the back portion of my foot. Otherwise I would have enjoyed wearing these anytime and would protect them as a treasured favorite.

An oldie but a goodie. Lavers continue to exude great style and once they dirty up a bit, it's even better. Not a lot of bells and whistles; these just look good (although mine will never touch a tennis court).

These are my favorite shoes. They are lightweight, look tight, whether wearing shorts or pants. I usually buy a pair every other year, alternating between colors (they do not carry the grey color anymore), because I wear out the rubber but mostly because these shoes are dirt magnets. I wish they carried the grey color because it hid the dirt pretty well. Obviously, if you want to preserve the pristine white color, do not hike bike skate beach in these shoes. I have had a pair for the last nine years and will continue to wear Rod Laver for awhile.

It has been a great experience buying at Zappos. In my original order I had the wrong size sent to me. Their customer service is amazing! As soon as I told them what had happened they sent a new pair of shoes at no cost overnight! Mistakes can always happen, the important thing is how they solve them. Thank you Zappos I will definitely buy from your site again.

These are probably the best sneakers in the world. Classic style and incredible comfortable. Great arch support. I buy a new pair every other summer.

Being a Stan Smith wearer for many years, I thought I would try Rod Laver's sneaker for summer since it has a non leather top and would be lighter and more breathable. I am enjoying wearing them. Nicely made.

Great shoe, BUT THE SIZING IS ALL WRONG. I wear a women's size 7 and ordered the appropriate size as indicated on Zappos. They are not sized correctly for women.

I LOVE these shoes!! I was pleasantly surprised at just how much I like them, because I don't have good luck buying shoes. But Zappos is it!

LOVE these shoes! This is my fourth pair. I buy a new pair every spring. Zappos usually has several color combos to choose from, but this time they seem to just have the classic green/white and navy/white. They are super comfy kick around shoes. I even wore them to play a little tennis the other day and they weren't bad.

Love these shoes! Have bought them for years and they are getting harder to find. Fits true to size and comfy as ever (wear to work and on my feet all day).

I love Rod Lavers, I have owned several pairs for the past 15 years. They have walked though Europe and been camping in Calif. They are wide and comfortable, they can be washed over and over again. They are a classic shoe.

This wasn't my first pair of Rod Lavers, and it won't be my last. They're not THE mos comfortable shoe you'll find, but if you've worn a pair of Chuck Taylor's and found those manageable, these will be fine. A couple of things to keep in mind are that the sides of these shoes are mesh, which creates excellent air flow, and the bottoms are fairly slippery, so these probably the shoes for winter. The black and white look very sleek, especially with a pair of dark jeans. I'd recommend them! And Zappos was awesome, like always.

These are good quality casual shoes that are cool in hot weather. So far, I have no complaints.

Great pair of kicks. Not the most comfortable, but good enough. Love the way they look with shorts and pants. Wouldn't actually wear them to play tennis.

Good shoe. The sole rubber is a little hard. Probably not the best for slippery surfaces but makes sense since I think tennis shoes are designed to slide a little. And these are basically tenni shoes. Good, simple, casual sneaker.

I really love my Rod Laver Adidas . The customer service was very prompt and I received them in good condition. I will be a repeat customer.

Runs about a half-size small, and is a bit narrow. I returned mine for the next size up and am completely satisfied.

I like this tennis shoe. It is breaking in nicely. I had some concerns about the stiffness of the arch support on my left foot but after a few weeks of climbing subway stairs I am confident that I did not sacrifice comfort for style. This is a true tennis shoe - it has a stylish suede toe to absorb dew, no doubt. There is nothing frivolous about the elegant shoe design unless you think green soles are frivolous.

We purchased these for our son who goes through shoes very quickly. Not only do they look really sharp, they are comfortable and durable. We will order them again and maybe Dad will pick up a pair as well. As always, Zappos shipping was super fast.

Fantastic looking and feeling shoe. Comfortable from the start with plenty of room. They hold up well to regular wear and tear. Lots of compliments on this pair (grey with red soles).

Just got mine. They are already my favorite shoes, super comfortable, and look awesome. Might be a tad large but I could also have weirdly shaped feet. I would definitely buy these again.

Adidas Rod Lavers are the most comfortable shoes that I own! That's because they are also my favorite shoes. Keep in mind that since Adidas run in European sizes, you might have to move up a size or so. For example: I wear a size 11.5 in converse, but in Adidas, I wear a size 13. Once you find the right fit, they might be the most comfortable sneakers you'll ever own. I also love the material arrangement of breathable mesh, ultra lightweight polyurathane soles and durable suede overlays. Even though they were originally made for tennis, Lavers have become even more functional today as they are also used for the sport of Footbag as well great and stylish casual shoes. But the most significant use that I have found for them believe it or not, is that they are the best dance shoes that I have come across. For me, these shoes have all the perks, timeless classics that can be worn with anything, ultra comfortable, super lightweight and extremely durable that can go hard on the dancefloor without weighing or slowing the groove down. Trust me, I've been styling and getting down in these for years, so please don't let these pass you by!

Great everyday shoe especially after they been broken in. I am very active and use these shoes for work and play. They are very durable and are the best freestyle footbag shoes around (once they have been modified).

This was my first order with Zappos and it was a perfect success! Just what you'd want in online ordering and being able to order something knowing there'd be free return shipping if it didn't work out. But it did and the shoes were great and I know I'll be ordering more with Zappos soon!
