Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

My son loves the comfortable fit and the cool look of these sneakers.

I ordered my size: 9 1/2 but it was too small. Called Zappos and they mailed me a bigger one the same day! The service was friendly and fantastic. I am wearing this great shoe almost everyday now. I love it. (I'll order half size bigger next time). Zappos is a great store.

In regards to Zappos, they are always on target with their sales, descriptions of shoes, sizing suggestions and shipping! In my experience with shopping online, there is no one better than Zappos! We're a military family, now my wife and I are retired Air Force and moving on with new careers...10 years in Europe and Zappos never lets us down. 100% thumbs up!

Shoes came in perfect condition with all tags attached. Packaging was decent, although I think it could use a tiny bit more protection from accidental damage during transport. All in all, very good experience with Zappos. Shipping was very fast.

These are the same great shoes I wore 20 years ago. Perfect for light excercise and hanging around. Of course Zappos had a great price and super fast delivery.

These are great looking shoes...order came as described perfect feet even with wider feet and they look great with blue jeans and shorts extremely comfortable for the weekends, thanks Zappos!

If only antelopes were this classy. I think this may be my first online review. But, really this may be the first time I've felt this passionate about a shoe. I got a pair of black and white about two years ago, and immediately began growing more in love with them. The look has a modest class about it, the suede is fun to stroke, and the fit has been extremely comfortable for me. After two years, the toes began to wear out, but I'm still tempted to wear them. I'm currently looking for another pair.

Classic European Look! These shoes are exactly what I wanted: great looking, super comfortable and very stylish. I wear them with my jeans and they look fab. I grew up in the 70s and these have such a cool, retro look that I just love. The blue suede is beautiful and they feel great on my feet. Buy a pair for yourself!

A Little Tight But Worth It - I have a very wide foot (EEEE) but was tired of scrounging around for orthopedic-style shoes. Even though adidas Originals Gazelle are technically too small for my feet, I am pleased to see the shoe stretching to accommodate my size. The shoes look very smart and are amazingly light-feeling. No scuffing or dragging because of bulkiness. It literally feels as if my feet move faster now. For a good looking and lightweight sporty shoe, I suggest you look at these.

GREAT! been wearing these shoes around to break them in for skateboarding but it seems only about 3 days in they were ready to go and skate. Definitely going to order another pair come skate time. The only letdown was that weird smell everyone else has said about them...I don't care really because I mean, they’re gonna get smelly anyways.

Must have for any closet - I love these shoes!!! They are so comfortable and so stylish. And Zappos was really quick and efficient in sending them.

Perfect Classic - One of the most classy and decent casual everyday comfort shoe that gets even better looking and comfortable as is get older.

Adidas Gazelle is a great sneaker - Great looking sneaker, but most important it is very comfortable. Great color choices too.

AWESOME!!! These are the best shoes adidas has ever made next to the Sambas and Copa Mundials! I totally disagree with anybody that say there is anything wrong with these shoes. They are very comfortable and stylish. You can do anything with the Gazelles. From the soccer field to the streets these are the all around BEST!

Adidas Gazelle - These are sooooo comfortable and they look good too! They did have a smell to them, kind of like how an industrial carpet smells when it gets wet. They seem to be airing out and don't smell as much.

Love these shoes - I was looking for something stylish and comfortable. I loved these sneakers when I wore them in high school and thought I would try them again. I was not disappointed!! Great look and feel. And they had plenty of room to accommodate my orthotics. I didn't notice the smell other reviewers complained of, but the tongue does squeak against the laces when I walk. A small annoyance that is greatly outweighed by the many plusses of this shoe.

Love the Gazelle - My husband really likes the shoe; its appearance and comfort is exactly what he wanted, and the Gazelle fills the bill.

Awesome - Not only do these Gazelle look good they are so comfortable. I have three pairs and if they had more colors I would buy them as well. Great sneaker.

A great classic/retro looking shoe - I wanted something cute, yet comfy enough to wear while walking several miles a day. (Specifically, something I could wear next to a NYC hipster on the subway and not feel completely awful about myself.) It is a bit narrow, but it's fine for me and I don't have narrow feet. I was expecting more arch support based on other reviews, but the inside is nearly flat. There is very little arch support, certainly not "excellent arch support" as other reviews said. Still, it's comfortable enough for me to wear while walking several miles at a time. Another reviewer complained of a horrible rubber smell from the sole. Yeah. I'm not sure what that was about, as I haven't had that problem. The top of the tongue of the shoe is rubbery and tends to slide around a bit, since there's no loop to keep the tongue to the laces. Also, this is rather random, but they sent me two different length laces. Overall, I really like the shoes. They make my feel look small, they feel good, and they look good. Just beware if you need more width or arch support than average.

Show your feet some love - Great shoe - not too wide, not too narrow, just right. Great shoe for everything. I'm on my feet all day and I have been using Gazelles for years. Once in awhile I change it up, but I always come back.

I have a tip about the "squeaking" issue with Gazelles. The tongue is coated with plastic, and the Adidas shoelaces are also plastic. If you swap the laces out for cotton ones, the squeak goes away. Easy & cheap fix.

Bought this shoe for my daughter in the Marine color and was disappointed that the color shown was not the color that showed up on my doorstep. The color pictured is a deep navy blue and a lighter shade of blue was actually what it was. Kept the shoes anyway.

Literally the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. Seems like they measure the size from the upper part of the shoe, which is slightly larger than the actual base, so everything feels cramped. The width is so thin it felt like I was standing on a tennis ball because the inner curve of the shoe was so far inside in relation to my foot. They look amazing but I really don't think going up a size would help, they are still extremely thin. I have two pair of Adidas Campus, same size, and they fit much better. They have a similar profile but the Campus has a larger base, is wider, and feels more substantial.
