Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

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!

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.

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 tongue is really stiff and seemed like it would rub so I returned them. Really good looking shoes, though.

Nice comfortable fit. Runs a bit narrow but makes up for it in style. Can't go wrong with classics.

Love these sneakers! Good medium width, my orthotic inserts fit well. Could use more rigid sidewalls, but that's just the style of this shoe.

They run a little small and narrow. They stretched out a little for me. Great look though.

These would be more comfortable if the tongue didn't come up so high on the foot and it's a very thin tongue, but hits at the bend of the foot/leg. Also developed a squeak after being worn a few days. Run just a little on the large size.

This is the weirdest problem, but the top surface of the tongue is plastic and the shoe squeaks like crazy with every step from the tongue rubbing across the laces. It did not seem to stop happening, so we returned it.

Great Shoe...BUT - Husband was so excited to receive this gift. They were exactly as he remembered them - the fit, the look, the feel. However, the smell of the rubber on the sole is overwhelming. We've had to air them out and they still smell when they get warm.

BUYER BEWARE - I should have paid attention when I read the reviews for this shoe. It looks great, but... It smells horrible! Absolutely terrible, the smell will not come out, no matter what you do. Soap and water won't even work. It's terrible. The tongue is very long and bothersome, although I never had a chance to wear it out since the smell of fish was so nauseating. The shoe comes wrapped in plastic, keeping whatever smell it is locked in the suede. The shoe had something gummy all over the suede as well. It's terrible. If you even touch the shoe, the smell will come off on your hands. I would definitely not recommend buying this shoe from Zappos.com.

My favorite shoes from Adidas! They're very comfortable and great for dancing, I've bought several pairs in different colorways. Very clean and classic look. I would suggest getting a half size up if you have wide feet. Otherwise it fits nicely. Highly recommended!

These are the best-wearing sneakers I've ever owned. I walk many miles hard miles per day in them in New York every day and they are holding up very well. I have the black ones with the orange stripes. The black suede still look fine despite hiking trips, snow, slush and road salt, getting caught in rainstorms and the usual NYC filth. I've had lots of 'old school' Adidas shoes in the past. Stan Smiths and Roms are favorites...but these are as comfortable as those and by comparison THESE THINGS DON'T DIE! There is something about the materials that just holds up to what I throw at them.

I've been wearing this shoe for years! My favorite shoe. I need a new pair about every 3-4 years. I'm a drummer and this shoe is great as it is lightweight, sleek, and has a great feel! It holds up well and forms to your foot. I wear these daily when not at work. It is my go to shoe for any casual occasion (jeans, shorts, etc.), and everyday life! I highly recommend this shoe!

When I saw that Adidas had brought back my favorite track shoe, I had to have a pair. The style and weight (super light) are just as I remember them. I miss the inverted kangaroo hide feel of the originals, but still a great shoe. A classic.

I love these shoes! being more of a jimmy choo all the time type girl I have a hard time finding a athletic shoe that brings style and comfort for the price! The shoes are and adidas orignial and a must for any closet. I got many compliments from my classmates and family.

Comfortable, attractive tennis shoe which I wear when I go shopping, walking, or to casual events. (Note: the tongue is a soft plastic and a little stiffer than cloth, but not uncomfortable, just different). Easier to keep clean I think.

Just got the white leathers. Toe is a bit rounder than I thought, but I love them. Comfort right from the start.

Love these shoes!!! Reminds me of younger days. And, of course, VIP Zappos had them to me in one day. Love Zappos and their amazing customer service.

There's not too much more to say about these - classic all around cool - if you got the mojo to rock 'em!

Very nice shoes. Since the summer is coming these shoes are comfortable and won't let you down.

The order arrived very quickly. The packaging was sturdy. The shoes were in excellent condition, as expected, and the fit was accurate.

I found this shoe to be slightly, very slightly larger than size because it is a man's 4 and woman's 5, it's kind of a unisex size. I am a true woman's size 5 so this shoe did run a little big...but it is still absolutely wearable and very comfy! I would recommend this shoe.

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.
