Customer Reviews adidas Originals Rod Laver

Great looking shoe, but not practical for tennis play - The shoe's comfortable and looks great. But the sole doesn't have a lot of tack and on some surfaces feels very slick. You may be able to play tennis in these, but I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, a very nice casual shoe.

Awesome! You can’t go wrong with these. Look good, feel good. Light weight. They do get dirty easily, but hey, they are white. I work on my feet all day. I also have Dansko, Birkenstock. I wear the Rod Lavers 99% of the time they are so comfortable. Also I’ve had plantar fasciitis and it has gone away since I got these shoes (go figure?). I put some arch inserts in them too.

My Second Pair of Rod Lavers! This is my second pair of Rod Lavers. They are light and quite breathable for spring/summer shoes.

Finally Got 'Em - I have loved this style from afar since I was a little kid. Somehow the kid still in me rebelled against my now adult self and I finally bought these shoes and I am loving them! Practically speaking, a lightweight, white and flat soled tennis shoe does not fit in my life of gardening, working outside every day and having to wear orthotics all the time. However, I decided I only have one life and I had to have them. Surprisingly, they are so much more comfortable than I thought they'd be! Indeed they are not very supportive, but the lightweight foam sole is pretty cushiony and I don't stress out the bunions I'm always trying to cradle with orthotics. The sole is a bit stiff and I'm still breaking them in. They're slippery like others have said. But the style is what it's all about with this shoe.

Perfect shoe - Love this shoe. I have them in 4 colors now. I am a pretty true women's 7 and I ordered a 4.5 and they fit great.

Great shoe - I would recommend buying a half size larger than you think you need. Mine squeeze my toes just enough to make it slightly uncomfortable. If I had gotten a 9 instead of an 8.5 I doubt I'd have this problem. Otherwise they're great. And so good looking!

Total customer satisfaction - My mom picked these out for me. I liked the way they looked in the picture. She said they would be cooler in the summer too because of their construction. She was right. I love my sneakers. They look great with shorts. (We bought socks that fit below the ankle.)

Awesome shoe, awesome service - I ordered a pair on Friday afternoon and they arrived on Monday afternoon at no additional shipping charge. The shoes look really cool and are very comfortable. Order a size or half-size up, though, as they do run a big small. For the price, these are a bargain.

Rod Laver is an awesome shoe - This shoe, like every other Adidas I have… from the classic shelltoes to the Nastases are some of the most comfortable & easy to clean shoes out there. You can actually just put some fresh new white laces on & give them a wipe down & they look brand new. I wear all kinds of Adidas throughout spring, summer & fall. I buy a couple of pairs of each color every season from Zappos & I have never had any issues. Shipping is always quick & the product is always in perfect condition when it arrives. Zappos is awesome with a sick level of customer service.

Surprisingly comfortable - I love the look. Thought I was going to only be able to wear for short periods of time as I have plantar fasciitis. But they feel great and I can wear them all day.

Excellent! Ordered on Friday, received early Monday!!!! Classic shoe, I ordered late in afternoon Friday and Zappos sent me an email saying they would get it out that same day and shipping was FREE!!!!! Great customer service. Thank you.

Amazing, after all these years - Bought my first pair 30 years ago. I have been buying them, on and off since then. They never wear out. I still get compliments on them. They stay white and bright for a long time. They do every thing very well, probably the best athletic shoe ever made...

Nothing unexpected - Shoes took a little while to break in, now they are comfortable. I wouldn’t play too many 5 setters at Roland Garros in these guys, but they are perfect alternatives to Purcells. Zappos is amazing and I will do all that I can to buy from them in the future.

I like them! Very comfortable sneakers. I wear them for both work and hanging out with my friends. My only complaints are that they feel REALLY stiff and fit a bit snug when new, however after a week of wear they break in and feel great.

The best of the best - Sharp, simple and durable these are the words that describe my all time favorite shoe. I have owned 5 pairs of Laver's the first was a pair of blue leather I owned them for two years, in that time I spilled kool-aid on them since they were stained I decided to make them my work shoes. The best lasted one year of service and were intact, so I bought another pair, and another. These are high quality shoes at a very reasonable price.

Great shoe - They are so comfortable and good for any occasion. I just wish they offered more color variety. From now on I will buy my shoes here. Thanks Zappos!

My 21 year old son was very happy with this shoe. I needed a size 14 and you had a good selection. He liked this shoe a lot.

Fantastic Shoe !!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SHOE !!!!!!! The only thing that could be better is if it were to be offered in more colors.

Great looking shoe but a bit snug. Great classic-looking shoe. Attractive w/o looking like you're TRYING to be retro. Unfortunately these, like other old school Adidas I've tried, are very narrow. Love the look but they're too uncomfortable too wear.

Awesome!!!!!! I love these shoes! I have about twenty pairs of shoes that are in regular rotation and these are by far my favorite. They fit great, I am on my feet a lot and these respond better then the Nike Impax I used to swear by. I wish Adidas would offer these in more colors. If you are thinking of buying these shoes buy two pair!

Stylish Sneaker - My son had requested these sneakers specifically and really likes them, although it took a short while to "break them in." Zappos was the only place he found them. Ordered online late evening and did not expect them to arrive for a couple of days. What a surprise when they were delivered the very next morning! That was just so terrific, great service from Zappos!!

Old but New! The Original! Absolute comfort in any situation. I'm a barber, so I'm on my feet all day. These Rod Laver's have a simple look, with a high tech feel...
