Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

These shoes are excellent! Just received them today and I love them! Be aware though, as said by other reviews these shoes mostly favor people with narrower feet. Other than that, the quality of shoe is on point, and if your boy, you need these shoes yo! - your boy, Arjay C.

Love these shoes, except for one major problem: they squeak. The tongue, which appears to be made of some kind of plasticized foam (if that makes sense), rubs against the vinyl lining of the shoe's interior as you walk, causing a squeak. I've found that applying foot powder, i.e. Gold Bond, to the tongue appears to somewhat alleviate this problem, but it's still something that I wouldn't expect or accept. It's a shame, because the shoes are otherwise very obviously well put together, and I love the way they look.

These are good-looking, classic shoes - mostly comfy and basically true to size (though if you're in doubt go a little larger). The only downside is the tongues; they're incredibly squeaky and very tall, and they irritably rub on your ankle when you wear short socks. I know it can be seen in the photos, but it should be emphasized that these have white soles, and overall they look and feel more like a summer-ish boat shoe than the Dragon or Gazelle models.

Great shoes, my second pair, marvelous for people with foot problems who don't want to wear dreary shoes.

These shoes are nice, they fit well and they perform as well as any Adidas I've owned (which is quite a few). It's not apparent in the photos, but the tongue is a sort of shiny rubbery material, and consequently the shoes are quite squeaky. The shiny tongue rubs against the materials and laces and makes a rubbery squeaking sound. It will probably quiet down a bit as the shoes get worn in, but if you need your sneakers to be "sneaky", these won't work.

These shoes are really cute to look at. They are relatively comfortable. I have a wider foot than most so they are a tiny bit narrow for me, but they look really cute. My biggest problem with them is the tongue. It's some kind of plastic and squeaks. Mildly annoying, but I feel like I can't be the only person to think why didn't you make it in some kind of material that does not squeak or rub.

This shoe is incredibly narrow, but the worst part is the tongue. It is very long, and appears to be made out of laminated lightweight cardstock. I have never seen a cheaper made tongue on a shoe (plus it has a very sharp edge). I do not recommend, but wish someone could point me toward a truly comfortable, wide, cushioned, basic sneaker.

Cool looking shoes that run small as with all Adidas for me (wear a 13, need a 14). But the tongue is a problem. Plasticky material, protrudes an inch past the foot opening and rubs uncomfortably against top of your foot if you go sockless or with no-shows, as IMO you should with these shoes. The deal killer though was that the tongue makes a squeaky, squeegee/clown shoes noise with every. Single. Step. No thanks. Returning.

These are fresh and exciting! I am biased towards Adidas, so this review is skewed. Anyway, they are great shoes. They look cool and they are comfortable. They are not quite as cushy or breathable as Lavers, but still a killer pair for your dogs. The color combination is great.

Just got these shoes yesterday and I'm already really enjoying them. A lot of comments mention an issue with sizing, but I think that may only be for women's. I'm usually between a men's 10.5 and 11, and I ordered the 10.5 and they fit great. I got the Cinder Solar Blue White pair and I haven't experienced this squeak people have complained about either. They're just a good pair of shoes.

I do overall like these shoes and get many compliments on their style at work. However, I work a very active job that involves a lot of bending/ squatting/ tip toeing and generally fancy footwork and I have found that the tongue is too long and either digs into my ankle or uncomfortably twists to the side throughout the day. Otherwise, a good purchase!

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I am a female and bought them in one smaller than I normally wear in men's and they fit great. They also look awesome with just jeans or cropped pants. Definitely would buy again!

When I ordered the Gazzels it looked black and yellow on Zappos site. But when they arrived they were actually blue and yellow depicting the colors of MICHIGAN STATE but they looked great and decided to keep them true to the size10 a good looking shoe.

I loved the product plus the delivery was on time which makes me fully satisfied.

It is ridiculous the amount of squeaking the Adidas Gazelles make. I don't know why you would them in such a way that they would squeak and make noises but other than that I find them very comfortable and the style is very good as well.

I ordered three pairs of Gazelles for three growing boys and I'm very happy with the results. These shoes do well in gym class and on the sidewalk, and the suede-ish uppers can be spiffed up easily with a wet cloth if they've gotten muddy. Plus, I love the retro styling--I think I wore the same ones when I was a kid.

These were everything I was expecting in terms of style, but they were way too big for women's sizing. I ordered what was marked as an 8, but I could slide my foot out without untying them. They don't have a full size smaller, or I probably would have exchanged them for a smaller size.

These shoes are great. That being said at first the right shoe was tight heel to toe but once I wore it for awhile it loosened up. Now they feel great and I wear them all the time.

I wore these for years, several decades ago. Recently bought and love them all over again. Sing it: "You can do anything, but lay offa my blue suede shoes." I've since bought pairs for son, brother, nephew. They get compliments. They're very comfortable. They're stylish all over again.

Only one star for comfort. I had to return them because they were shockingly narrow and I could not walk in them. Total bummer because I really wanted to love them.

I have long narrow feet and the mono-color throughout the body made my feet look like boats. They also ran a little wide for my feet, I am a AAA. Love the colors, though.

Great shoes. This is an old skool style from back in the day. This has much better support than the original. The color is great & so was the price.

Really nice looking shoe. My husband couldn't keep it because it was at least a half of a size too small. But we'll try for a larger pair.

Love these shoes! Comfortable and I love how they look. I think they run pretty true to size after all. They are cut a little narrow, but they are still quite comfortable. As far as my Zappos experience, I ordered a pair that was a size too big, so I sent those back and got then next size down. The new shoes arrived 2 days later and I didn't pay for postage for any of it. I will definitely order from this company again!

My son has autism and is very picky with his shoes. He likes looks, support and comfort. He loves these shoes and the colors go with everything.
