Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

I bought these shoes last July (almost a full year ago) and I have worn them every day. These shoes lasted me very well through rain, snow, and sleet (kinda like the post office but better because these shoes worked on Sunday). I live in China and these shoes have been with me all over, from Inner Mongolia to the beaches in Hainan. They held up very, very well. But, I did have to make some minor repairs. The bottoms (near the heel) wore out on both shoes and I somehow was able to rip a hole in side stitching. Both of these injuries (to the shoe) happened after 8 months of daily use.

I knew these shoes were going to be winners. I've owned Gazelle shoes several years ago and still remembered their comfort and durability so I was excited to see they're still in stock. Quality is great, true to size, very comfortable, and the many color options are a lot of fun. In short, I highly recommend them.

Shipping was so fast! Next day! I love Adidas and this pair is no exception. They are a bit stiff, but they all are in the beginning, just need to break them in. Great buy.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.
