Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

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!

Great shoe, I bought it because hackey sack recommended the shoe. Feels great! And who does not like a white shoe?

Love the look and feel of this shoe. Very comfortable for every day wear. I did find the shoe, in my case, ran a half size smaller than what I usually wear. I wear an 11 and had to return it for an 11 1\/2 which fit perfectly and Zappos was very easy to make exchange happen.\r\n

This is the ultimate tennis shoe. It is lightweight, simple, practical and durable. The design has withstood the test of time. Stan Smith and Rod Laver are two of the first people to have shoes named after them. Well before Michael Jordan and Clowns these two guys were stepping onto the court and making history. If you keep the factory lacing you can slide your foot right in comfortably without ever having to untie the shoe. They'll feel just right. The breathable nylon mesh means they're very light on the foot, flexible and washable. Little known fact: these are the ultimate shoes for kicking a footbag (hack sack, for the uninitiated). The flat toebox and simple sides are great for stalls. These are actually sold on footbag sites and there are tutorials for how to modify them to increase the toebox size and do alternate lacings. They're a cult icon for footbaggers.You may also remember Jason Schwartzman rocking a pair of these in Rushmore. Green ones with green laces I think. What else can I say about this shoe? It's perfect in every way. I have probably a dozen pairs in different states of disrepair. I have the all-whites, which are not made anymore, I have the true-blues, which are also not made, and I just got the new orange ones. I keep a fresh pair in a box in the closet just in case they ever stop making these. I just wish they would keep coming out with new colorways. Buy this shoe. You're going to love it and be surprised by the amount of compliments you get from random strangers (who often mistake them for Stan Smiths). Warning: these are not for wide feet. Warning: these have no arch support. Warning: these get dirty easily so you may want to buy multiple pairs so you always look fresh. Warning: highly addictive. Warning: dead sexy.

Great shoe. Beautiful. Breaths. But this does run a little tight in the width if you have a wide foot, and it runs about a half size small. I bought the same shoe in orange because I like it so much.
