Customer Reviews adidas Originals Dragon

I loved the style of the shoe and really wish that it could have worked out. I wore these for a couple weeks hoping that they would stretch out but my feet were just too wide. No matter how much I loosened up the shoe. I even wore it without tying it up at all and my feet hurt. Unfortunately I had to return it. If you have wide feet, this shoe probably is not for you.

Too small. Order at least a half size up. I usually wear a 10.5, but would need to have ordered an 11. Wore them once but they were too short on my toes and had to give them to a friend. He gets compliments on them. Wish I had a pair.

I love the retro style but these run nearly a full size too small. I am a straight 9½ with every other brand, and I could not even get my feet in these shoes.

I love the look, but wow, are my toes cramped. I feel like a Geisha wearing these things. I am trying hard to "get used to it" but finding my feet are extremely sore if I wear them even half a day. I ordered half a size larger than I normally do, too. I am kind of bummed.

These shoes are narrow! They also sit very low on the foot. The color and styling are great but overall I'm very disappointed with how they fit and look on my feet. Not the most comfy shoes either. There is not a lot of cushion. I wore them for a full day of amusement parking and will not do it again.

Love the style of these shoes, and I'm sure they would have been very comfy had they fit my feet. Unfortunately, they are a bit narrow, and the material does not seem like it would "break in" like a leather shoe. If you have smaller feet, try them out for sure. If you have big feet like me, consider trying a half size larger, if available to you.

I absolutely love the look of these shoes, but they're so narrow that they're just unwearable for me. My little toe actually hangs over the side of the sole it's that narrow. And no, I'm not wearing the wrong size. At that point, the shoe is already way too long, so going up another size to fix the width isn't an option. Also, the tongue is as thin as a t-shirt and easily crumples up when putting the shoe on. Like I said, I love the look, which makes me sad that it's unwearable for me.

I'm old enough to remember lusting after these in High School, so it was a nice surprise to see them again. I still really like the looks of the shoe, but found the fit to be off quite a bit. I kept these longer than I should have hoping that they would break in, but no luck. They feel between a half to three quarters smaller than my regular size. They seem a bit narrow as well, with not much arch support. I have been wearing them primarily for bicycling lately, as the fit issues are not as pronounced in that usage. I have a pair of Nike Flex Experience that are very comfortable, that is my reference point. By the way, Zappos' service was exceptional. I placed my order, and then changed my mind regarding color. I called them after 45 minutes, and in addition to the color change, had my freight upgraded as well, all at no charge. Very impressive.

I found the women's sizes listed to be accurate even though I usually assume two sizes up from men's. Super cute classy shoes, but the fit did not work for me -- way too narrow out of the box. I knew right away they'd have to go back, so I did not try to stretch them out by wearing them. The Onitsuka Tiger by Asics won for being far more comfortable and as well as wider.

Athletic shoe technology has come a long way in recent years. The Adidas Dragon makes a fine, traditional fashion statement but little else. The shoe feels quite skimpy and cheap by modern standards. My first response was to outfit my new Dragons with after market insoles. This improved the situation considerably, for about ten bucks. The Dragon is a narrow shoe, in appearance and fit, although mine have adequately stretched to fit my D-width, size 14 feet. The Dragon is priced right for casual wear. Do not rely on it for any serious purpose. It's outdated design does not support or supply the comfort an athlete would expect.

I love the style of these...but I found them uncomfortable. They are hard as a rock, and pretty stiff. I have wide feet and usually I wear regular width shoes and they just stretch over time. These started out narrow, and they don't stretch, and so they still hurt even months later. The padding is minimal and the sole is really hard too, so they are hard on the bottom as well.

Although this is a unisex shoe, it runs very narrow and has very little padding. The shoe also feels cheap.

I love the style of these, definitely a classic. As for fit, I had to order 3 times before getting a pair that fit. My feet aren't particularly wide, I would call these shoes rather narrow. Also, before ordering the first time I checked the sizes of 5 pairs of shoes I already own -- and still the first pair of Dragons I ordered were a size too small. Now that I have the right size, I'm happy with them. I wish I'd acted sooner and gotten the clay/gray/orange ones.

Good looking shoes. Very stiff though so could give blisters if you don't wear socks. Extremely limited support--meant more for fashion than for sport.

I originally saw these shoes and was reminded of my Sears Winner II shoes when I was a kid. Adidas actually made them for Sears back in the day, so this was as close to that shoe that I could get. Honestly, I did not like the shoe as a kid as everyone else was wearing "cooler" shoes and I was wearing a Sears shoe, but such was the income level of my parents. So in romancing my memories as a child, I wanted to capture some youthful memories and I purchased a pair. Well, the style did not disappoint. Very close to the Sears shoe I remembered, but they ran a little tight. With that first strike against them as I knew I would need to return them, I started looking at them with a more discerning eye. To me, they did not feel substantial or made as well as the shoes of today. I get that the "retro" is cool, but for a 43 year old, I am not into this shoe now. It was great to see them and try them on, but overall, not a good fit for the dude. I explained everything above to the Zappos rep and in true Zappos fashion, they never disappoint! I returned them and applied the credit to a boot...Zappos is excellent! Thank you!

I was disappointed the shoe laces were 60" long since my husband stepped on them often causing them to untie. He did buy 45" laces which is the proper size for the shoes t but the grey color didn't quite match.

They're OK. Not great for exercising or even much walking. Really just flashy casual shoes. A little tight and I had to order a size up to make them work.

These shoes are so stylish...but you already knew that. The problem is, like most retro shoes, there's zero cushioning, and insoles can only do so much. If you want some comfortable shoes you can walk around in all day, these are not your pick; but if you want to lounge around for a few in some kicks that will make passersby drool, look no further.

I love Adidas and I wanted to try a new style. I got these for a women's 9.5 and they're too small, even with my orthodics. It felt like my toes were being squished together and it was just too cramped in the shoe.

I've been buying Adidas Originals for almost ten years. These are the only pair I've ever purchased that I've been unhappy with. They have minimal arch support and the wear on the inner heal started within days. I bought them at the end of May, they were almost unwearable by the start of July.

Not comfortable at all. I have wide feet at the toes and I was looking for a shoe I could do a lot of walking/subway riding around town in. These were a huge disappointment. I've had Adidas shoes in the past that were comfortable and these let me down. No arch support, no comfort, so they went back.

Good looking shoe! Unfortunately too narrow for me, especially in the toe. That's not something I usually run into, so this shoe might just run narrow in general. Also, not much cushion or arch support. I'm returning these, but for the right person's foot they may be a good fit.

These are not so great. They are just OK. They are too small. Order at least half a size over what you wear. They would look good if the leather used to make the shoes matched on both shoes. They do not, one smooth the other rough. That looks bad. I am unhappy with them.

Be careful if ordering this shoe. I ordered a size 14, and it fits like a 12 (NO GO). I have to return it and choose something else.

These sneaks look great, yes, but they're so uncomfortable that the experience of wearing them is painful. I've tried to get my money's worth out of these but find that I just don't have occasion for sore feet these days.
