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.

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.

This is the perfect shoe for me for the last "1000" years. Its fit, its style, its ongoing durability. It seems to me that wider feet (me), narrow feet or in-between, you won't go wrong with this iconic shoe.

My husband who is now 32 years old had wanted a pair of Rod Lavers since he was in the 6th grade. He purchased a pair a few years ago and wears them everywhere. They are so filthy now, I had to get him a replacement pair as an anniversary gift. He loved them. I just hope he keeps this second pair clean for "special" occasions. He has nothing negative to say about them. They're his faves! I'm glad Zappos was there to replace them.

These are the best shoes! It is true that they do run small. I've read some say adjust a half size; I would adjust a whole size (depending on the thickness of some socks). I have received compliments and questions of where I got them every time I wear them.

I was looking for a classic, simple, white sneaker. This is it. Retro. Original. It is light, comfortable, and sized as advertised, with cool, classic styling.

I love Rod Lavers! They are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned. This is my second pair and I recently bought a pair for my husband because he got tired of me talking about how great they were and wanted to find out for himself! He loves them too and wears them every day! I wait tables and am often on my feet for over 8 hours straight; my feet never hurt after a shift! They form to your foot and the arch support increases as they break in. The way the shoes have so many laces holes allows you to adjust them to fit your foot perfectly. I would and do recommend them to everyone!

I bought these shoes hoping to wear them for comfort and as a nice alternative to running shoes for a casual style. They have turned out to be fantastic! I love how comfortable they are, true to size, and the shoes look great with jeans/shorts.

These shoes are classics: lightweight and comfortable with simple, elegant style. As always, Zappos was super-fast and easy to use. Highly recommended for all online shopping needs.

You had these on my doorstep in 24 hours or less, with free shipping. Well done. None of the stores around me still carry the Lavers, so it's nice to know I can have you deliver me a new pair in less time than Jack Bauer needs to take out a terrorist threat.

It is a joy shopping shoes on Zappos! The selection is as big as it gets. I found exactly the tennis shoes, which couldn't be found in local stores. The merchandise is one thing, but the service is supreme! When Zappos says Customer Service, they really mean Customer Service! I have become a Zappos Maniac!

A fantastic shoe with timeless style. I've purchased at least 10 pairs over the years. They hold up great and are totally comfortable.

I was leery of ordering men's shoes and alarmed when they arrived and looked huge, compared to a women's pair I had in a similar style, but they fit beautifully when worn with lightweight athletic socks. Women's size 7 really is men's size 5.5, for my feet and these shoes, just as the Zappos guide indicated. Very much pleased with these shoes, which I ordered on Friday of the holiday weekend and which arrived Monday.

I love these shoes. They're definitely the best Adidas shoes ever made. They're comfortable and attractive and they go with just about anything. Foot baggers love these even more than I do. I've heard rumors that Adidas may discontinue this model...please don't! I had my last pair for well over a year and wore them just about every day and they're still in great shape. I liked them so much I got another pair. You just need to wash them every few months or so to keep them white and fresh. Great shoes!
