Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

Great versatile shoe that goes with pretty much anything from jeans to khakis. Love the style. Definitely going to purhcase another pair in different color.

Nice retro shoe little small on size go 1/2 size up. Otherwise very cool, Zappos!

My 17 year old son, who tends to be quite particular about his appearance, loves these shoes! He wears them every day, and commented on their comfort. As an aside, another one of my sons (I have 4) has been buying this style of Adidas for several years, and loves them. So - 5 stars all around!

Beware! Tongue feels like Styrofoam and squeaks while walking. Weren't too comfortable either. Look awesome though.

These shoes are awesome! Very true to size and color. I am very happy with my purchase.

As always ordering from Zappos was simple and hassle free. Sneakers arrived on time and were in excellent shape. These run a little snug for the size but appear to be well constructed. These remind me of my high school years during the 80s. :)

Pretty much what you see is what you get. Nice looking shoe, kind of retro. Seems as if the toe box should be a bit wider. Tongue is really thin, no padding there. Usually I get a really good fit with Adidas shoes, but not so much with these.

Very happy with the service of Zappos. Shipping was very fast and everything was correct. Love this shoe also! Always happy with ordering from Zappos!

These are really comfy. Probably not the best arch support, but my orthotics fit inside with no issues, so you have options there. But, the sun color beware. If you like a dirty, green kind of a dijon yellow, it's for you. If you were hoping for ultra bright, Livestrong yellow, you're not gonna be happy. I've returned them on the spot and ordered up a blue pair instead. :)

Overall, a great-looking, comfortable, stylish shoe. One minute problem: at first, the shoes were a little annoying because the tongue would pierce your shin but once it got bent up, I didn't have that problem.

Love the gazelles. this is my third pair and i'm always happy i bought them. They have a low profile and look cool with most pants. they also have a little bit of a retro look so they super stylin. nobody rocks these but everybody only has good comments about them.

My husband originally wanted Puma The Suede in Navy blue. Turns out they don't make those anymore, and I ordered the "ensign" blue instead. Ensign is nowhere near navy! So I went with his second choice (these Adidas Gazelles) and he loves them!

Great shoe, very comfortable. They're hard to find so it's great that Zappos carries them. The only thing that I would complain about is that the tongue has ripped out of the shoe on two different pairs that I've had. It's kind of a big issue but that's Adidas' problem.

The Gazelle fit very well and I liked the shoe. The sole is very slick and not what I expect from Adidas.

I'm not a shoe person. For the majority of my life, shoes were just a necessity, and I could get around on the cheap. This pair looked nice, so I decided to stick my neck out. It was the best decision I ever made. They are complementary to my style. The black never fades. The comfort is the best of any shoe I've ever had. Period. These are great for if you're doing some walking, or if you're just lying around. For people like me, who have disdain for shoes with an overabundance of arch support, you're going to love them. Two things may work against it, though. The smell may get to some people. I like it, personally, but others have not been to keen on it. It goes away after the first week or so. The tendency toward dinginess may get to a few of you, as well. Gives it character, but you may feel like they get dirty real easily. Be careful where you're slinging bleach. You'll turn the black material red if you're not precise. Great, great shoes. I'm on my second pair, and I'm bound to buy more pairs in the future.

Not sure how these shoes get 5 stars. I guess those reviewing them never put the originals on their feet. I wore these in the '90s when I was in high school. So comfortable and stylish, I absolutely loved them. I now have two kids to keep up with and needed stylish shoes to do it it. Thinking I'll get what I'm looking for I ordered these, I was dead wrong. They are now "made in China" (they were made in Italy) out of cheap garbage. They look like the molded plastic trash. The soles are so unforgiving, no bend and the tongue! I can't even describe how hideous that strange piece of plastic looks (it was, on the originals, suede or something almost like it). I couldn't return these fast enough. I know most shoes are made in China but these are the apex of "poorly made" cheap garbage. Sticking to the Pumas.

I ordered these shoes in a fit of nostalgia and also because I wanted some casual athletic shoes to wear for running around. These did not disappoint. They are comfortable and remind me of my junior high school days. So glad I bought them.

The shoes tend to stay with a really flat sole, and a continuous solid design. They don't break down much, the only thing for maintenance I have noticed is the need to keep them clean, and continuously clean the white part, for after a few weeks of usage the white has turned to a beige/yellow. Sole is not too supportive.

True to size. I have several pairs, for work and play. They are very comfortable, reasonably priced, and a look great on. Can never go wrong with these!

had to go up 1\/2 size as these originals are a bit thinner shoe.

The only thing that really bothers me about these shoes is how squeaky they can be. The plastic-y tongue and insides make a noise when I walk sometimes. I only notice when it is quiet, though.

These are not near the original shoe. The original was made of kangaroo skin and the bottoms softer. I had a pair in 1968 while on my college track team. Please bring back the original.

I like the shoes, but they squeak when you walk. The tongue of the shoe is plastic and feels very cheap.

I've been buying these shoes for years, but this is the first pair I have bought on Zappos. What can I say, their selection is great and their customer service is the gold standard. I got these overnighted for free because I was in a pinch. Not the first time their CS has shocked me. Lots of sites/businesses say customer service is a goal, but Zappos backs it up. Oh yeah, the shoes rule.

The shoe is cute but there is no support and the tongue of the shoe is too long. Folding it over to be comfortable is not cool looking.
