The shoes look just like in the picture. Perfect size and color. They arrived in three days in standard shipment. Awesome!

Great fit, great look. Slight green tint to begin with but it resolves into the stone they show here. It's my second pair of Adidas shoes and I haven't been disappointed yet!

My 14 year-old son loves these shoes. He chose the teal blue color, and wears them to school each day. What a refreshing break from the black running shoes he used to wear! So far, they've held up well and look great.

My pair had just came in. I am very pleased with how they felt. The shoes feel like they were meant to fit on my feet. Adidas always have great arch support. They still stand by that. I love style of the shoes. The mid-sole has great texture as well as the bottom of the shoes. I have always loved classic shoes and I am glad that I got me a pair Gazelles.

These are your classic Adidas. They are a great color and fresh kicks. They feel great and look great. Just check the weather so you do not walk out in the rain. Lest you must buy a fresh pair.

Been wearing Gazelles since the early 90s. Probably had over 10 pairs over my life. Just picked these up in red. The color just pops! Perhaps my favorite Adidas, really retro shoes of all time. They're comfortable and pretty go with everything you can wear.

I originally wear a 10 1/2 in Sambas. These fit pretty similar to them. Very nice looking shoes. Goes with anything. Zappos as always was extremely fast with the shipping, it's almost scary. I'm beginning to think that Zappos travels by the way of wormholes. Ordered Wednesday night and got it Thursday morning. Doesn't get any better than that!

Beautiful shoe, I ordered the women's 8.5, which I usually run in a sneaker, and there was at least an extra 1/2 size of room. I'm returning and will order a 1/2 size smaller.

Great pair of shoes that look good. The left shoe's tongue was a bit messed up but not a noticeable mistake. It might feel a bit uncomfortable at first with the end of the tongue rubbing at your feet but you'll probably get used to it. I ordered the same shoe from Eastbay and Zappos did an exceptionally better job in the delivering of the shoe. Overall, a great shoe and Adidas does a great job with the look, as always!

Because they are leather, these shoes had a brief break-in period. As shipped, they felt somewhat narrow. But wearing them for two days changed that, and now they fit very comfortably. I'm very pleased with my purchase, and would certainly buy from Zappos again. I'd offer just one caution concerning the Gazelles: either the product description doesn't tell you that the tongue is made of some kind of foam (not leather), or I missed that when I ordered them. If that is okay with you, though, you'll likely enjoy these shoes.

These shoes are cute and fairly comfy, although the raised part of the back heel digs in a little (no blister so far but it could go either way). The royal blue is wonderfully rich. They will likely be my go-to tennis shoes in the future. I normally wear 7.5 or 8 in woman's, and my feet are somewhat wide. The "man's 6/woman's 7" fit great.

This shoe only squeaks at first, until you treat it. The previous post about rubbing a wet paper towel on the top surface of the shoe toungue really is the correct method to remedy this. Do that a dozen times on each shoe toungue or so and they will become silent when you move while wearing them. Great tip, my new Gazelles stayed in mint condition, inside the box for a month or so- I was avoiding them because they creaked when I moved in them. Just now I tried applying the method of rubbing damp paper towel on the top surface shoe toungue where it was that the laces were rubbing on them. Next, I put the laces back on and I was skeptical at first, but now theyre silent.

I bought these shoes to wear for my wedding and they worked great with my suit. The shoes are comfortable once they're broken in and worn but the initial wears were a bit tough and numbed my toes since they were a bit narrower than expected. But they look good, versatile, and are comfy.

Width! Be aware of the width. I wear a narrow show and I love the width of my size 12 Adidas Originals Gazelle. For years I have worn a medium in other shoes and simply had to tie the laces very tight. Now I've finally found a medium that fits my narrow foot. I will be happy to order this shoe again from Zappo for the service was prompt and carefully packaged. I'm wearing my Gazelle as I write and am about to go on a long walk!

It was a 4th anniversary gift to my husband. He loves them! They also fit true to size if this helps. Fast delivery too.

Awesome shoes! They were incredibly narrow fitting at first but after a couple days they became very comfortable.
They are also holding up nicely and are pretty nice looking. I recommend to anyone who likes this style shoes.

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.

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!

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!

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!
