Customer Reviews adidas Superstar Foundation

I have never in my life suffered so much breaking in a pair of shoes as I did with these. I actually went to try them on in a store before I ordered so I could get the closest fit. At the time I purchased them, this style of shoe came in a women’s version and “unisex” (men’s sizing) version. The unisex shoe, which I ended up purchasing in a 9 (I’m usually women’s size 11), is actually a little wider than the women’s version, but not by enough. I spent a good month numbing my feet trying to break in these shoes. I eventually started wearing them with my thickest socks to speed up the process. When I finally DID break them in, they were comfortable and have been ever since. Unfortunately, shortly after breaking them in, I was faced with another problem: the inside of the heel started to disintegrate. I’ve been trying to ignore the problem since it started (soon after they were broken in! I’ve genuinely been wearing them like this for years and just putting up with it), but I think it’s time to finally face the music. It’s been a battle between my shoes and my socks of who can wear the other down more quickly. The heel has come apart from all the walking I’ve done in these shoes, and after three good years, it’s probably time to throw in the towel. The style of these shoes really can’t be beat. They’re versatile and can truly be comfortable once broken in (though they never breathe well and NEED to be aired out regularly). I loved wearing them, but I will not be purchasing another pair now that they are worn out.

Very tight shoe and narrow shoe - however, the sole is amazingly firm (definitely not a flexible shoe). I wish 14-1/2 and 15’s were still available.

I thought these were women’s since they came up under women’s shoes but they are unisex. Size down!

I returned these. Although they were easy to get on and off, my heel felt as if it was slipping, and they pinched a bit near the front bend. Otherwise great.

I suspect these shoes are in men's sizes. I normally wear a size 8 in sneakers and ordered a 7.5 in this shoe. It was huge!!! My kids laughed hysterically asking why I was wearing daddy's shoes. They are big and glowing white and even is a smaller size, I suspect they would have looked like huge clown shoes. Maybe these would be cute on someone with a smaller foot.

Zappos sizing information states the following: "For unisex sizing, please move two sizes larger for women's sizing. (E.G.: men's 3, women's 5)". This sizing information is incorrect and opposite of what a person should do. I (woman) ordered a size 8 and it is way-way-way to big. I looked at the official Adidas website and found a much better sizing chart which shows the relationship between the men/women size. It shows that to get the shoe for a woman you need to order smaller size (not larger as indicated on Zappos). I'll be returning the shoes that are too large and reordering in a smaller size. Thanks Zappos for working with me.

Nice sneaker always, this particular pair had a slight flaw where the shell toe met the area to be laced

I tried these in my normal size and a half size down but in the end they were too wide for me. I think the unisex sizing may not work as welll for women with narrower feet.

Cool style, but tooo heavy and uncomfortable.

These fit my husband well and were pretty comfortable, but they do not breathe at all.

Women's and men's sizes do not equate!! Therefore, I received shoes that were much too large.

They look huge on me even though they do fit true to size. Theres too much cushion on the sides and i have a pretty skinny foot so i thinks it strange that other ppl feel like it was a bit too wide when it feels narrow to me. There is no arch support and they're pretty heavy so i wouldnt suggest using them for athletics.

Soooo disappointed in these sneakers. I absolutely love the look and have been wanting them for a while however when I tried them on they were so uncomfortable. I will keep trying other similar styles but these had to go back :-(

I was really bummed out to find out how narrow these are. These are all time classic shoes which look great bit they may have been the most narrow shoes I've worn in years.
