Really love these shoes, they are super lightweight, compared to many of my modern running shoes, and look really great. For me they are just a bit snug in the toe area, but I don't tighten the laces up and they seem just fine. The one thing I noted fairly soon, as I under pronate, is that they don't have the stability 'heel cup' offered by today's shoes. My feet were aware of this after wearing these shoes - though I run in 'barefoot' shoes so I've strengthened the numerous small muscles around the ankle. I don't have any issues wearing them long term - though you may if you over do it at first. Overall it's great to be back in a pair of old school Adidas shoes.

Bought these for my boyfriend in an 11 1/2 but they were one size smaller than marked. I was about to return them for a bigger size but my brother who wears size smaller liked them a lot. I purchased another pair for my boyfriend, and they end up having the same snickers. They are light weight,comfortable and perfect for the summer time.

Very comfortable. I love the arch support, since my feet are flat.
Recommending those!

I love this shoe and when the brown is back in my size I plan on getting another pair along with the blue.

Very comfortable and I love the green color. You think it wouldn't match with anything but I wear it with everything and love it. I take the train to work and wear these until I get into the office.

This shoe was a gift for my younger brother-in-law. He was very happy with the style, fit and color. He said they were comfortable and easy to maintain.

I wanted to buy casual shoes I could wear for work (I'm a software engineer) and I asked my girlfriend to help me pick them, she liked these ones so I ordered them even though there was no wide version. The shoes arrived quickly and they are more or less as expected. I didn't like the white laces as they were not 'age appropriate' (I'm 31) so I switched to the black ones. Overall the shoes are nice and comfortable. I would have been happier if I had a wide version of them.

I really like the shoe. I find it very comfortable and get quite a few compliments on them. The one thing that I have found about Adidas and Puma is that I always have to get a half size larger than I normally wear. Other than that great shoe.

I've been buying Adidas for years but I had never tried this style. I ordered a 7.5 mens which is what I normally get and it was too small. I will either get a refund or exchange them for an 8 or 8.5. Super cute though.

While this is an excellent shoe that has held up well and looks great, I could not find a pair that fit right. I usually wear 10 1/2, but the 11 is still too tight and the 11 1/2 is just a bit too large. If there had been a wider version of the 11 in the color I chose, it would probably be perfect though. That said, I still wear them if I'm not wearing for long since they look so good. Have gotten many compliments on them! Overall still a good shoe. Just wish sizing was more accurate/consistent.

I don't agree that for women go 2 sizes down. I wear true 8.5 (not 8 and not 9 that is trying to fit in 8.5). I bought men's 6.5 (womens 7.5) and my feet were tight inside. They were hitting the front and in longer run it would be uncomfortable.
I exchanged for men's 7 womens 8 and it is perfect fit with thin and thick socks. It makes sense because adidas in shoes for me I always order 8 instead of 8.5.
They are a bit uncomfortable at the beginning, not as soft as my other sneakers but after 2 wears they are ok. They are perfect for gym workout like lifting weights and especially squats because they are flat.

These shoes are beautiful, but they run a size small. I'm a 14 and the 14's I purchased are too small. Mine are on their way back to Zappos now.

The style is nice and they seem to be good quality. They are not overly comfortable. I found that my feet were sore at the end of the day.

Average Adidas shoe. Comfortable, looks good, get what you expect. Note it's not clear in the picture, but it's made of a mesh like fabric and suede on other parts. Shoe would look awesome if it was all leather....you can do this for more on the Adidas website. I honestly debated doing that for a while, but since I wanted everyday shoes it made more sense to get these (will withstand wear and tear better).

Super cute! I wear a very solid women's size 8 and ordered these in men's 6.5. They fit perfectly. I wear these with a thinner, low-cut athletic sock. (I could not comfortably wear a thick sock with these, I would need to size up.) I also use a back-half insert orthotic, as these do not have very good arch support at all. With the orthotic, they are perfect and I can wear them on a cement floor comfortably all day. The color is great, construction feels solid, and these are perfect for running errands. I also have a pair of Asics Onitsuka Tigers and I find those to be a bit more comfortable than these with regard to arch support (a little better) and cushioning, but I don't feel they are as attractive as Adidas Dragons. (If you are a large women's 8 order half size up, if you can sometimes wear a women's 7.5, order half size down.)

In the end, I got a half size smaller than suggested for women. They're not as comfortable as modern running shoes for walking around all day, but I love the look and happy I got them! They're comfy enough for me.

I feel like the sole is thinner than my other shoes but I like the simple design for the low price. I would buy again.

Had to return these to get a half size bigger. Even the bigger size was a bit tight, but after breaking-in for a couple of days, they feel like a perfect fit. Unfortunately, I don't find these very comfortable for long durations of activity (walking, standing, etc) -- they're fine when sitting down, but they begin to hurt rather quickly once in motion.

I have fallen in love with Adidas originals shoes. I got the black suede with white stripes and I absolutely love it! They are not made for running or jogging but they should hold up in the gym or just for knocking about with.

These shoes look great and they fit consistently like other Adidas shoes. They are extremely lightweight. I bought them for international travel for the plane/airport. They have zero support, which is what I wanted, but may not be your thing. There is also no shoe tongue keeper, which allows the tongue to slide easily, which can be a pain if you are walking a lot. These are also way more grey than brown, so they are pretty versatile.

Color is not as in the picture. The reality is almost green, the picture is brown. Zappos should update the picture.

I couldn't be more happy with the look of these shoes! I catch people checking them out all the time. A lot of the other reviews suggest going a half size up on these, and I have to agree. I ordered my normal size and found them to be too narrow and tight for my feet. I exchanged them for a half size up (Zappos customer service and return policy kicks ass by the way!), and now they fit like a glove. Whatever size you think you are, just go a half size bigger with these. You'll be glad you did!

I like these shoes a lot. They are comfortable, trendy and old school. A few coworkers have complemented me on the choice. I wish they had brown in these shoes. I would love to get another pair.

Nice shoes. They are really light and comfortable and I have always loved Adidas's style. My last pair, not this specific type, lasted almost 4 years so I'm hoping for a similar run with these.
