Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

These are awesome always have been. I particularly like the "slime" color. I ordered my size (woman's 8) but they were much too big. I would order a size down.

These shoes are pretty much what I expected with one key difference -- the tongue is made of leather, not the same material as the rest of the shoe. And it's kind of a long tongue, so it pokes into my upper front ankle a bit. I'm hoping it will "soften up" with some more wears, but currently it's more comfortable with socks that come over the tongue thus making these hard to wear with shorts. Also the color is slightly lighter than I expected, not a dark navy. But it's a good color. Overall a great shoe.

I love these shoes and am looking at ordering my second pair. I found the first pair brand new at the Goodwill for $4. To the reviewer who complained about the squeak, mine squeaked too, but I bought some moleskin and put it on the parts that rubbed and made the sound and I never heard it again. I've been wearing the shoes for 6 years now and it's time for a new pair.

While I can't comment on how well these will hold up, they seem to be very high quality. Even better was Zappos service: after getting the first pair that were too small (they seems to run that way), I contacted Zappos and they sent me the next size up before I even returned the first ones. Best customer service ever!

My teenage son loves these shoes. They are exactly as shown in the photo. My son's feet are wide-ish so the shoes felt a little tight along the sides of his feet initially, but seem fine after wearing. Thanks again Zappos for great service and for saving me the agony of dragging an unwilling boy to stores!

My son loves the comfortable fit and the cool look of these sneakers.

I ordered my size: 9 1/2 but it was too small. Called Zappos and they mailed me a bigger one the same day! The service was friendly and fantastic. I am wearing this great shoe almost everyday now. I love it. (I'll order half size bigger next time). Zappos is a great store.

In regards to Zappos, they are always on target with their sales, descriptions of shoes, sizing suggestions and shipping! In my experience with shopping online, there is no one better than Zappos! We're a military family, now my wife and I are retired Air Force and moving on with new careers...10 years in Europe and Zappos never lets us down. 100% thumbs up!

Shoes came in perfect condition with all tags attached. Packaging was decent, although I think it could use a tiny bit more protection from accidental damage during transport. All in all, very good experience with Zappos. Shipping was very fast.

I'm returning these. I usually wear a W9, I ordered the 8 as recommended on Zappos, and they are at least half a size too big. Also, the tongue is really thin and feels almost like styrofoam. It extends well beyond the shoe, and hits my ankle, so these would not be very good to wear with ankle socks. The color was slightly lighter than a true Navy as well, so there were not quite what I wanted.

These are the same great shoes I wore 20 years ago. Perfect for light excercise and hanging around. Of course Zappos had a great price and super fast delivery.

My favorite shoes from Adidas! They're very comfortable and great for dancing, I've bought several pairs in different colorways. Very clean and classic look. I would suggest getting a half size up if you have wide feet. Otherwise it fits nicely. Highly recommended!

Very stylish shoes that I love. Shoes are slighter narrower then my other shoes but it's okay because I like it, seems more casual and hip. The lip/tongue of the shoe is made of a weird plastic material that when every you take a step it squeaks. My dad thinks if I wear it long enough the squeaking will die but I really don't think so because the material is so different. Anyways to get around the squeaking I started to put the tongue of the shoe as far to the side as I can that way when I take a step it doesn't rub against anything and no squeak is made. If you can handle the squeaking or putting the tongue as far to the side possible I recommend the shoes.

Good looking shoe, but not for me. I have a preference for more arch support and the Adidas shoes I have tried (i.e. these and Sambas) just feel flat. Also, the shoes felts small and uncomfortably narrow.

These are great looking shoes...order came as described perfect feet even with wider feet and they look great with blue jeans and shorts extremely comfortable for the weekends, thanks Zappos!

These are the best-wearing sneakers I've ever owned. I walk many miles hard miles per day in them in New York every day and they are holding up very well. I have the black ones with the orange stripes. The black suede still look fine despite hiking trips, snow, slush and road salt, getting caught in rainstorms and the usual NYC filth. I've had lots of 'old school' Adidas shoes in the past. Stan Smiths and Roms are favorites...but these are as comfortable as those and by comparison THESE THINGS DON'T DIE! There is something about the materials that just holds up to what I throw at them.

I've been wearing this shoe for years! My favorite shoe. I need a new pair about every 3-4 years. I'm a drummer and this shoe is great as it is lightweight, sleek, and has a great feel! It holds up well and forms to your foot. I wear these daily when not at work. It is my go to shoe for any casual occasion (jeans, shorts, etc.), and everyday life! I highly recommend this shoe!

The sole is a bit thicker than I prefer, but with wear it becomes tolerable. The tongue squeaks so much sometimes that it is almost embarrassing to walk with them. They are a bit narrow, but they look great!

When I saw that Adidas had brought back my favorite track shoe, I had to have a pair. The style and weight (super light) are just as I remember them. I miss the inverted kangaroo hide feel of the originals, but still a great shoe. A classic.

I love these shoes! being more of a jimmy choo all the time type girl I have a hard time finding a athletic shoe that brings style and comfort for the price! The shoes are and adidas orignial and a must for any closet. I got many compliments from my classmates and family.

Comfortable, attractive tennis shoe which I wear when I go shopping, walking, or to casual events. (Note: the tongue is a soft plastic and a little stiffer than cloth, but not uncomfortable, just different). Easier to keep clean I think.

The standard bearer for simple, no surprises kicks.

Just got the white leathers. Toe is a bit rounder than I thought, but I love them. Comfort right from the start.
