Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

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.

Loving these things more than I did twenty years ago. Pretty comfortable and super stylish. Also sparks some 'back in the day' conversations every time I wear them out.

I love the Rod Laver. It's a very cool shoe. Perfect with jeans. A classic rock look.

Classic, stylish, and always in Fashion and this is a classic in every sense of the word. There is a reason the design has stayed the same forever--it is perfect. I have wide feet and have trouble with the narrower classic sneakers, but as a sneaker head I can say these fit my E width well and are true to size. If you are considering these, just buy them--you won't regret the purchase and they go with everything in the warm months. I wore them recently with a light colored suit and no socks to a casual yet classy summer party with great results and many compliments.

Great shoes, stay cool in the summer, great for bike riding. Tons of compliments. I always order shoes by the European size, find it more accurate, and always order one size up for Adidas.

These are old school at their finest. They go with anything, and look really great with a polo shirt and jeans.

Okay, I used to wear these as a kid not buy choice mind you but because my mother made me. So seeing them on this site made me a little nostalgic so I took a closer look and thought how clean and modern they looked, still very current fashion wise. So I thought about it for about one more second and ordered them! Turns out it was a great purchase. I love the fit I love the look and people ask me all the time where I got them, I tell them Zappos but really I don't want anyone else to have them but I do it.

I ordered these for my son. He said he wanted them for tennis, but I think he wanted them for footbagging. He normally wears a 10. We looked at the size chart on the website and it seemed that he needed a 10.5. They were huge so we tried a 9.5 and they fit. In my experience, these run a bit longer for the size, but not any wider. My son does not have a wide foot. He loves them, though there was definitely a break-in period needed. These older style sneakers do not have the padding that newer sneakers do these days. He had to wear them for short periods in the beginning, gradually lengthening the time over several days. He needed to get used to the arch and his pinky toes rubbed just a little bit. Now that he has broken them in, he loves them.

Awesome company to deal with! I\\\'ve always loved the understated style of these shoes but just never bought a pair. Couldn\\\'t see myself wearing these shoes to walk around in all day. I have high arches and they definitely don\\\'t offer much support.

These shoes are great. They run very true to size. Take a little bit to break in, but I still have a pair from 3 years ago. I just bought this one because the others have worn a bit and are not dress wear. This obviously means that they are very durable. I love these shoes and Zappos is a great site. Quick delivery and fair prices.

Great shoes. Classic style when casual is required. Goes well with jeans or khakis, comfortable for light walking.

I bought these for my daughter at her request and she is ecstatic with them. Loves Zappos and the shoes. Ditto for me.

This is a very cool shoe. I like the simple styling. It is very lightweight and comfortable and a decent arch support. I did have to order up a half size as I normally wear an 11.5, however that size was too small so I ordered the 12 and they were perfect.

I have been a loyal customer for the last 6 or 7 years and I love this company. In all this time I have only had to return 1 item and that was because I bought the item as a gift and it did not fit. The return process was simple and easy and I got the correct size within 7 days after they received the other item. This shoe was also a gift and I am told everyday how great it is. In particular my friend says no one else has this shoe that he knows of, its comfortable and you can dress it up or down. Its very light weight and breathes just in case you find yourself wearing them longer than expected. I will always shop Zappos and I am always sending new customers to Zappos and from what I hear. They have similar experiences. Thank you and I hope you purchase this shoe and be just as happy and satisfied as my friend.
