Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

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.

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).
