Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

I like this shoe. It\'s light and ok for walking and it looks cool. I put pads in for comfort but the support is fine and it took only a few days to break in. Zappos has a great selection of shoes and delivery took about a week. And I like the philosophy of the Zappos founder about the \'culture\' they\'ve created at this company that reflects the concern and value they place on their employees. It\'s refreshing to hear that they care as much about them as their valued customers. So as long as I don\'t hear differently, I\'ll do more business with Zappos.

I was way too excited when they got my size in stock for this shoe! They are my favorite shoes I own! Love them! The tongue is a little long but I just fold it up it looks cool that way.

I received the shoes very fast. I am an avid Adidas originals fan I love the shoes. They are very comfortable, true to size, and super cool.

Butter! I am a huge fan of Adidas classics. I have ten pairs of different Adidas old school shoes I cycle through. My favorites are the Gazelles and the Campus. In terms of comfort, they are great. The Gazelles are lighter in weight and a bit more streamlined like a runner versus a skate shoe like the Campus. The sole has good traction and the shoe provides good support. The tongue of the shoe is a synthetic, almost like a styrofoam rather than a leather material like the rest of the shoe. It seems to be holding up just fine, but I could see it getting hot in the Summer, especially if you wear shoes without socks. As far as the look, they are awesome! The blue is BRIGHT, but it looks like nothing else out there. I also love the choice of putting a pure white stripe and sole rather than cream or gum like they have with other designs. I love the blue of these and the red ones as well. These are awesome shoes, especially if you can get them on sale like I did. Nobody beats Zappos for prices and customer service!!! As a side note, I am technically a 12.5, but I always order in 13 and they fit perfect, so maybe they run half a size too small.

I loved these shoes when I found them on the website because they were exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a non-shell toe Adidas with the three stripes and thank you Zappos for having these! Not only were they stylish on the website but when I opened the box I saw them, I instantly fell in love with them a second time. Then I fell in love with it a third time when I wore them and they were so comfortable. They fit perfectly and had a moderate arch and were way more comfortable than I expected. More comfortable than my pair of Puma Clydes (which I needed to get an insole for). This pair is actually comfortable enough to wear without another insole.

The perfect casual shoe. I have owned many pairs of these shoes in my lifetime (green, red, black, navy, gray) and they have always been my favorite shoes in my closet; I'm a girl so I have a lot. I only wish that hadn't worn out my old pairs and had to get rid of them, because you can't find the old colors anymore. That said I still plan on getting a new blue pair.

Easy style - So good looking. So comfortable! Great for guys and girls... if only they came in red.

Love theses shoes... I was looking for something retro and found them. Very comfortable! Great price and fast delivery!

Adidas Gazelle Original - These shoes are classic, and my favorite style of Adidas. The look of the shoe, and the fit perfect for whatever you need to do, dancing etc. The shoe may start out tight but after you break it in, it molds to the shape of your foot, kind of like a soccer shoe would. The shoe is very comfortable and holds up and wears well over time. Hands down my favorite shoe.

I love 'em - Considering this is not the first time I've owned a pair of these, but it's been many years. They are just as comfortable and stylish as they were back in the day.

My favorite shoes! I love these shoes! Very comfortable and they look awesome! The only thing that I noticed was that the word "Gazelle" was not the traditional gold lettering. Of course only I noticed. Other than that these shoes are great!

The shoe of choice - I have been purchasing this shoe for the last ten years because it is a classic sneaker made of quality materials that appear timeless. Both comfortable and timeless. Before Nike there was Adidas.

Gone retro... Loved this shoe when I was in high school and I still love it now. Very comfortable and my kids think I'm "cool" now!!!

The Best Adidas Shoes Still on the Market!! It took me awhile to find the right Adidas; they are just not as common anymore which is truly a shame. I have found them to be just as I remember: snug, comfy, and lookin so fine! All I need now is a red pair.

Love these kicks! I have owned these for years and have been looking ALL over for a replacement pair, now I have them! I'm SO excited!

LOVE these! Amazingly comfy, and sooo cool. I have only worn them once so far and got tons of compliments. I could walk for hours in these. A little more arch support or cushioning would be nice, but they are actually really comfortable considering how simple they are. Will definitely be buying more pairs.

Read all the reviews. Bought 'em. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE 'em! Yes the smell @ first is not awesome. BUT...it's not bad enough to stink up your closet! Or even a suitcase! After 3 weeks the smell is virtually gone, and I did not use Febreze or anything like that. They are really comfortable, and super retro-stylish! I'm an Adidas lover and am constantly in search of classic Adidas styles. These were exactly what I was looking for!

Wonderful shoe - I love this shoe. The comfort is great, the fit is a little narrower then it said it was but I think that it has to do with it being new. And the price is great.

Adidas wins with me - I purchased this shoe and have to say it is the most comfortable athletic shoe I have purchased recently.

Stinky, but nice - I like this shoe a lot. It's smart looking with great support. It does smell, but the smell goes away after a couple of weeks of wear.

The smell does go away - My husband is a big fan of retro sneakers and really wanted a pair of these. So I bought him a pair and my first thought was, "Whoo, I should have listened to those reviews where they talk about the smell." But no problem... I immediately took them out of the box, sprayed them with Febreze, and left them to air out for a few days. The smell was still there when I gave them to him, but much fainter. Now he's worn them a few times and you'd have to have your nose right up against the shoe to smell anything. My husband loves them - super cool-looking shoes!

Showing Gazelle some love. Love the comfort and styling of this classic shoe and the look of the shoe clearly stands the test of time. The Adidas Originals Gazelle will always be one of many favorite shoes from Adidas. Thank You Zappos for carrying this shoe for I could not find it anywhere else.

Get a half size bigger - Great shoes, look great, feel decent, and yes, they smell awful (but that went away quickly). I did need to return my first pair though; the sizing seemed a half size smaller than what I usually wear. So you may want to buy a half size bigger. My larger pair fits great.
