Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

I don't wear these very often because they seem to run a bit long. I like the look, but not the feel.

These shoes are bright royal and turquoise and really cute (brighter, more vivid than on my screen but nice and summery.) However, I wear a 6.5 or 7 in Asics Gel and those shoes are great. This 6.5 is the equivalent of a male 5 and it is way too wide and longer than I would like. Very stiff, although one customer said they soften up; the sole of my foot stings, no padding at all except at ankle's edge, tho' some reviews said well padded. I will never get this unisex sizing again. We just are not interchangeable, my opinion.

Love love this. I will say that the first couple of times wearing this pair of shoes, it felt like the narrowness and curve on the inside arches was going to be an issue. But I quickly grew accustomed to it. There isn't much in the way of support, so if you need more in that area, another shoe might be better suited.

These kicks are sick! The black contrasts with the white so well. I have received so many compliments on these bad boys! FYI Adidas usually makes narrow shoes so purchase accordingly.

I've had many pairs of this shoe over the years. Other than maybe the samba, this shoe is as good as it gets for everyday wear, because the look is timeless and they go with everything.

I find the toe box to be very small and constricting. The shoe is stiff and hard to break in and a rather fatiguing wear. But they look great!

Channeling my inner 12 year old so totally rocks! I am an exec trying to dial it back a little bit on casual days and the comments I get wearing these shoes make my day. Great comfort (more comfy than my Chuck's), style, nostalgia!

The color is not what is advertised. I expected a tan color, but instead it was more green than I thought.

Oh, I am so sad! These shoes are so good looking and classy but sadly they are just too narrow. I am a woman and I can't find any good looking classic style shoes that fit my wide foot. I have resorted to buying men's tennis shoes because they are wider and they offer the classic style I find attractive. These shoes fit the bill when it comes to classic styling. They are fantastically well made; however, they are still too narrow! I normally wear a woman's 8.5 wide so I picked the men's size 7.5 D width. Not wide enough at all. I can't believe they are actually D width! So narrow! From what I could tell, the arch support was excellent and the length was perfect. Only gripe is about the width. I love Zappos and I love Adidas, so I am going take advantage of the free shipping both ways and return these shoes...but go up one size in hopes the width goes up too. Man, such a classy shoe...hope the new ones fit!

These shoes are really comfortable. I wear them almost every day and have no problem being on my feet all day.

I bought these for my husband who has very flat feet. He was able to use his orthodics with them for extra support. There was no break in time and plans to wear them as a casual walking shoe when we travel abroad. Love the color!

My husband wears it 13 1/2 shoe. Since there is no such thing as a 13 1/2, he either buys a 13 or a 14 depending on the brand. We tried the 13 first but it was pretty snug. Thank you Zappos for free returns and instant store credit! The 14 arrived today and they fit perfectly. We bought the navy with white stripes. They are a little stiff out of the box but we think they will soften up with wear. We also waterproofed them with Scotch Guard so the suede stays clean. He loves this shoe because he wore the same style when he was in high school 30 years ago! Great looking retro style shoe, just perfect!

So far so good. I bought these to replace a pair of pumas with holes in the soles (after one year of regular wear). The color in the image is accurate. The shoe is comfortable.

Still fresh! I am rocking these proud just like it's 1991 again!

I work at a hospital and was looking for a nice shoe that would stay clean looking and look cute with scrubs. These fit the bill and I got several compliments on them - from both older and younger co-workers alike. They were roomy without a break in period. I have wide feet so I can report that this was not an issue. One complaint - the tongue is longer than normal and the leather rubbed the front of my calf - both annoying and irritating. A higher sock takes care of it and now that the leather has softened up it is not such an issue. All in all a great choice.

They look great and feel great. I do not know if this applies to them all, but they squeak when I walk. The materials make them a little tough but they fit perfectly.

I wear these shoes almost everyday. They are comfortable for walking and look great. AFter 3 weeks, the suede still looks good. I thought it would get dirty a lot faster than it really does.

I really like these shoes. I often have trouble finding ones that are comfortable for me. I have wide feet, but these have been great. The only problem I had was that the tongue rubbed against my ankle a lot and made it quite sore. However, it softened up after wearing it for a couple of weeks and I also tied the laces under the tongue which eliminates the problem.

Just a great everyday shoe. Lightweight, casual and very comfortable.

These are my first pair of classic Adidas. They are comfortable, though a bit narrower than I expected. I've actually contemplated returning and getting a wider width, but I think I've worn them too much, already. I ordered a black pair, but they look more like a dark navy blue to me. I'm not sure if I got the wrong color or if it's just not as black as I expected. Blue would have been my second choice, so I'm fine with how they look.

I like the way these look so I am very happy with them but they run narrow and aren't the most comfortable shoe.

I first wore Adidas Gazelle's when I was in 11th Grade. I am now 53 years old and they are every bit as great as they were in 1977. They still look great and are as comfortable as I remembered. The retro looks complement jeans or anything else that I am wearing. My 19 Year Old Daughter even thinks that they look cool on me. What more could you ask for...?

First, I love Gazelles. I have had a number of pair going back to the mid '90s, and although they can take a while to break in (kinda stiff and squeaky) they are very comfortable for everything from working out in the gym, to walking around for hours, to playing soccer (indoor). However, last Fall I ordered a blue pair in 9.5, my usual shoe size, that fit perfectly. But this winter I ordered a black pair also in 9.5 but they were clearly a 1/2 size larger than the blue pair. The difference? Blue pair, made in China. Black pair, made in Vietnam. Take this into consideration. Not sure if this is true for all the China vs. Vietnam Gazelles, but definitely true in my case.

This is a pretty nice show. Thanks to Zappos I received it one day after I ordered. It has great support for my arches. It does need to be broken in a little bit, but after walking around in these shoes for a couple of days they feel great!

Love this sneaker! I usually wear Chuck Taylors but the lack of support was killing my feet. These have moderate arch support. I'm debating over the Gazelle II's to have a canvas sneaker for the summer. The only thing that bothers me about these is that the tongue eventually always slips to the side.
