Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

Love these shoes! They are good quality and so comfortable. I ordered a half size smaller than I normally wear and the fit was perfect!

I would like to start off by saying that these are some good looking shoes. A few things that I want to make you aware of, however, is that they are a bit tight in the toes. Also, they squeak. I don't mean a little here and there, but they squeak squeak. You may want to put some sole inserts in, but that is just personal preference. I am just waiting to see if the squeak dies down after I wear them longer.

Great looking shoes. My feet are a little wide so I would have gotten a wider pair if that we're an option, but the shoe is stretching just like a pair of sambas I had a few years back.

My son LOVES these shoes. He would like more in different colors. Good quality, lasts through a school year and longer!

Bought these for my husband, as he used to wear Gazelles back when he was in h.s. These shoes are a classic, why else would they still be around 25+ years later? Old school and still stylish!

I'm a woman; usually wear a women's 9 and I ordered this men's 8. Fits very well and has arch support that is better than most sneakers in this style (compared to Puma classics). Love these!

These shoes seem well made compared to Converse Allstars, for example. Comfort wise they are wonderful but I use my own orthotics/arch support. I usually wear 7.5 but they were huge. I got the smaller size in less than 24hours! Zappos has awesome customer service.

Perhaps my expectations were too high. But I would think that in this day and age of new materials and technology, that Adidas would actually improve the quality (or keep the same) of their retro footwear lines from the originals. This shoe is made so cheaply. A thin, plastic foam tongue? A sole that is as hard a rock? A good looking shoe, but poor construction and absolutely is not fit for athletic wear, as the description states.

There is a God-awful squeak coming from the tongue in the marine/white color. I'm not sure what the material is constructed from, but every time I step it makes noise. It's unbearable, and it's so frustrating since I really want to like these shoes. They do look nice, but try another model or color.

You can't go wrong with the Gazelle. And you can't go wrong with the Zappos service. This is my second pair of Gazelles. For the past 6 months or so, I've worn my first pair nearly daily, and it's time to retire them. Before my first pair of Gazelles, I went through a few Sambas, which I also recommend. Regarding Gazelle vs Samba: the Samba feels lower to the ground and narrow, something I'd feel comfortable in, for a casual game of soccer; the Gazelle feels chunkier/cushier, not a bad thing at all, but I'll likely not try anything on the field in these. My second pair is the "dark petrol/real green/bliss", and I like most that the sole is a pleasantly bright green and that the sole's profile is off-white/ivory. My first pair was a "fairway/white/forest", also a nice color scheme, although I note the suede faded significantly (not a bad thing, just something to consider).

I loved these shoes when I first saw them on this site and decided I would give them a try. I was able to find the black and white ones in size 14 and ordered them. Unfortunately, they run incredibly small and narrow. It seems like I need a size 15 in the Gazelles and I cannot find those anywhere. However, for the day I tried to squeeze into them, they looked awesome. If you're going to order these I'd make sure to get at least a half-size larger than you would think you need.

I use these shoes for Taoist Tai Chi, a health-oriented version of the discipline. For this purpose I find them supportive,comfortable, and not too grippy on the floor.

I ordered these for my boyfriend for Christmas but gave to him early in case they didn't fit. Luckily I did because they were too narrow. He did like the orange accents and suede material but they were just too narrow, he couldn't even get his foot all the way in and he doesn't have wide feet. So these will get sent back and I reordered some DC ones since I know they're usually wider in the toe area. Zappos delivery was great though, I ordered Monday at 11am and when I got home from work on Tuesday at 4 they were here. Never have I gotten a package so fast, and with free shipping, I'll definitely order shoes from here from now on.

Really love the look of these shoes. They aren't as comfortable on my feet as they could be (slightly wide foot) but they're still good. Can't get past the style factor! These look great! Get them while they're on sale!

Very comfortable. Slightly more bulky than I would have guessed but true to size and very comfortable. Not narrow.

First of all let me tell you that I will be ordering another pair just in a different color. They are good to use around town and are great unisex shoes. Tie them firmly and they stay on. I gave them only for stars since I found them a bit stiff but not enough to be a real problem.They are great with jeans or denim shorts / skirts.

These shoes are dope! I bought them for a Halloween costume but ended up really liking them. They have excellent arch support. As someone who has had plantar fasciitis, I know what arch support is all about. Great shoes. I would highly recommend, especially for the price.

The sole/foot-bed is surprisingly more contoured, thick and well made than I was expecting from a shoe that looked like this. It's actually much more comfortable than I thought it would be.

I just received my Gazelles. So far they are comfortable and seem to be very well-made. However, the Blast Emerald color appears to be more of a green color than I had expected. It appeared to be more of a blue color online... but they still look cool and feel great.

I was impressed by your near infinite selection, giving me easy access to a style I could not find in stores. I ordered and you shipped on Wednesday and my shoes arrived on Friday. I'm a fan!

I've had these shoes for a few weeks now, and they're pretty great shoes. Super comfortable, and the size is just right. They sit snug on your feet, and while the big ol' logo is unfortunate, everything else is just right. They have gotten a bit dirty, but that's easily cleaned off.

Yes, these shoes SQUEAK with EVERY step for years! My daughter loves them but we can HEAR her wherever she walks!

I currently own two pairs of Gazelles and can't wait to buy another pair! They are in constant rotation due to comfort, style, and versatility. So...what are you waiting for?! Buy these bad boys!

My son has bought these shoes a few times and really likes them. They are casual but still look good. Customer service at Zappos was, as always amazing.

The shoes look just like in the picture. Perfect size and color. They arrived in three days in standard shipment. Awesome!
