These are some of the best shoes I've ever worn. 3 years ago I purchased a version of these shoes that I customized and only now are they starting to wear out. I was excited to buy a new pair, but disappointed to see that adidas no longer offers a size 15 option for the customizable version of the shoe. That's my only complaint with them. Other than that, you won't find a finer product.

I bought the white with the gold strips at finishline.com and there super cute, very stylish and can go with many outfits. I wear a 8.5/9 in women's and usually order a 7 in kids when i buy sneakers. However i read that these run big so i order a size 6 and the fit just right. Although the fact that i have very narrow arch feet, they shoes squish my toes a lil at the shell part on the show. But eventually the more i wear them it will stretch out I believe. Try to order 1 full size down , if your feet wide and has no arch, these shoes will not feel comfortable at all. Overall it's better to try them on in stores than buying online.

These shoes got all the right proportions, but for girls they run big...and I have big feet, size 11s. Unfortunately they gotta go back--I got black leather Vans slip-ons instead.

I bought these shoes as a gift. They came in time for Christmas as promised. They are beautiful and my husband loves them. They are exactly what he was looking for- the classic shell toe style. The medium width fits great for him. The only con would be- there is no traction on the bottom of the shoes. But that doesn't stop him from wearing them in questionable weather although we would advise to wear them with caution if you do wear them in Icy or wet conditions.

I am usually a 9 in sneakers and I got an 8 and they fit ok but I probably could've gotten a 7.5 but didn't wanna risk it being a worse fit than the 8s. these run huge and my feet are on the wider side and even that didn't help the shoe feel more snug. These are just really big shoes. but they're very cute, and perfect arch support in my opinion because I am flat footed and they're semi flat.

This footwear looks awesome, and I like it so much. Many people buy the white black one, and I decided to try another color except from white black. This decision was good made!!! However, the only problem of this pair of shoes is there is some details were missed by the adidas company. I think the quality must be 100%. Otherwise there is no necessity for us to buy a 100% real shoes. I wish before selling, they can see some details accurately!!! I will still recommend people to buy this shoes, because it really looks amazing and fit. Good shipment!~

I ordered these shoes in Charcoal Grey/Black/White in Women's size 6 (Men's 5). They are very stylish and comfortable. I usually wear a size 6½ in sneakers but I read that these run a little large so I decided to order half a size smaller. Size 6 turned out to still be a little too big for my feet. I was hoping that there would be a Women's 5½ but unfortunately, they do not carry that size. These are too beautiful to return so I decided to just stuff the toe area with tissue paper and that works. The fit is better but it will take some time to get used to. Overall, these are great shoes! I recommend them to everyone!

I was so pumped for these shoes, love the design so I ordered them as soon as I found them on Zappos. Unfortunately they turned out to be one full size larger than what I usually wear (I'm a W8 but these definitely felt like a full 9) so I had to return them. With the back and forth of the return they went out of stock in my size so no shoes for yours truly. Hope they restock soon, great shoes!

Enjoy these shoes very much. Work standing 8 hours/shift and find them to be very comfortable for doing that.

I love the style and look of the cobalt blue, but the shoe is a bit big and loose in the heels, even after I exchanged for a half size smaller. Too lazy to return it. So I'm just wearing it.

Great shooes! Have same ones for 3 years, use all the time. Overall, they look like brand new, just a bit dirty and smells bad, but that's my fault =) Highly recommended!!

I've bought this shoe twice from Zappos in the last 4 years. The first time took awhile to break down, we're talking daily use for about 2 years. Solid performance. The 2nd pair was purchased 2 months ago, and it already has holes inside it. I don't know if the material is cheaper now, or if my foot awkwardly wore down the inside heel, but it happened. Still a comfortable shoe. This shoe takes about 1-2 weeks to break in, then it fits like a glove. Despite the material by the inside heel breaking down rather quickly, I think it's a decent shoe.

Shipping was super fast. Shoes run big. Ordered a 1/2 size smaller based on other reviews but when I tried them on they were still big. Going to return and get a full size smaller.

A great looking pair of sneakers, I usually get complimented on them. Good support, I managed to walk around in these shoes for about 2 hours before my feet started to hurt. Looks a bit wider in reality than in the photos. I agree with other reviewers that you should order a size down.

This is probably my 15th pair of superstars in this lifetime. I'm 35 years old and have been wearing them since I was in high school. You really can't go wring with shell toes, jeans and a tee or hoodie. Comfortable and cute. The only reason I knocked the review down by 1 star is that the construction seems to be slipping a bit. The shoes come laced, but not up to the top hole. Oddly enough those holes haven't been fully punched. I had a heck of a time trying to lace up the rest of the shoe.

A very cute shoe, but runs very big. I ordered the men's 7 1/2. I wear 8 1/2 to 9, but this fit more like a woman's 9 1/2.

I absolutely love these shoes. Zappos had my entire order (including four shirts) to my door in less than 24 hours! That was phenomenal! The only reason I gave three stars for comfort is these shoes come with extreme arch support and I have flat feet. I replaced the inner soles with after-market ones that are kinder to my feet, and they are now perfect.

I have had two pairs of these shoes and for me, they are great. I need a good shoe that combines athletics with casual, work, and style. I need a shoe that I could wear on the court without leaving a big ugly black scuff mark every time I have to go on the floor. I need a shoe that I can wear when dressing up to teach my class in shirt and tie. I need a comfortable shoe I can wear when traveling. I need a shoe that I can polish if it gets a little scuffed up. This is that shoe. THE ONLY negative I have is that the uppers seam, right along the outside border of the shoe, have a tendency to separate. But then, as you may have guessed, I wear this shoe FOR EVERYTHING AND ALWAYS. I usually get about a year out of them.

Just received these today. I put them on right away and continued my day to break them in. They're beautiful shoes. Maybe not the most comfortable at first; I'm experiencing some pinching and tightness at the top of my foot but I think it's just because they are brand new. Super classy look. I'm usually an 8.5-9 in womens sneakers. I bought an 8.5 and I still have a bit of toe room, but I wouldn't get a half size smaller because of the tightness on top. Overall, I recommend for a stylish classy look to match your outfit, but you probably shouldn't go walking in these for 8 hours.

I love my superstars! I have ordered several pairs! I just wish they would do more colors with white! I wear a lot of colors like blue and black and silver. But they are classic and comfortable and I love them for casual shoes while still having the sporty look! Please, Adidas, get more colors!

The Adidas Original Superstar 2 is a good shoe. However the Adidas Original SS2 was put forth to replace the Adidas Superstar 2G. The SS2G's were far more durable and comfortable and offered more support to the heal and arch of the foot as well as easier to keep clean. The SS2's porous outer soul is hard to keep clean in addition to the design structure breaks down to easy. Bring back the Adidas Superstar SS2G's... Sincerely, Loyal Adidas fan/supporter and Zappos.com customer.

I bought these for my son for his birthday. He's always wanted them. Unfortunately they are narrow and run small. He normally wears a 13 but this shoe didn't work. Go at least a half size up. Style is great however. Love it.

I have owned superstars since in high school. Almost 40 years now. They are what they are. All purpose tennis, basketball and knock around. Never go out of style and are a great value.

Classic shell toes, which is great. I can't say that I'm impressed with their durability because this is the second pair I've owned that have fallen apart in a similar manner. The plastic shell toe separates from the leather over time. I expect this to some degree and I didn't knock them too much for it, but I've only had them a year or so and I don't wear them every day.
