Adidas Never Fails
As someone with a more androgynous style sense, these shoes have literally elevated every single one of my outfits. Whether I’m going for a more feminine flowy look, or a more grunge aesthetic, these shoes are so versatile. ( I also won’t complain about the extra inch and a half of height I gain before walking out the door.) here’s why I love them so much:1. The colors are so perfect. Bright enough to stand out but smooth enough to blend with your outfit. I never have to worry about whether or not they match.2. Comfortability.

Durability. I usually wear my shoes out within a matter of weeks with the way I walk, but the thickness of the heel on these shoes makes me so comfortable with wearing them whenever I want without fear of running them.4. The 3 tier platform. Literally so cute. The ombré is so fun, I’ve gotten so many compliments, and my mom ordered a pair after she saw them.5. Maintenance. The first day I wore them out some ketchup spilled on them, luckily I had a tide stick in hand, but I was still worried about the suede material. I went ahead and tried anyway and it literally went back to normal like nothing happened!The only con of these shoes for me is the urge to girl math my way into going broke from buying all the different color options....

Believe the reviews, but it's still a great shoe!
This style definitely runs large. I am a 10, ordered a 10, had to exchange for a 9.5. And my heel still slips a tiny bit, but can be fixed with tighter lacing.I agree with other reviewers that the tongue is a big, "What the?!". It looks cool but my guess is this shoe wasn't product tested. However, it's not a deal-breaker for me. I folded it down the first few times I wore them, and it's getting better. The squeak also goes away with wear.I think if you're committed, these could be for you. Also the "quartz" is light pink—I was expecting more of a tan. But it's a really pretty neutral sneaker option.... Show more

Cute and comfy!
These Gazelle Bold shoes in Pink Glow are so pretty in person! They are a happy pink and go with so much. I normally wear a 7.5 in most running shoes, but in my Adidas ones I normally wear a 7.I ordered a 7 in these and they fit me perfectly with just the slightest bit of extra room. I just have to tie the shoelaces a little snugger and my heels don't slip up and down or anything. The 6.5 would definitely have been too short for me.These feel great on! I love the look of the sole. They have good grip on the bottoms. The tongue doesn't bother me, as some others have mentioned. These are fantastic and I highly recommend them!... Show more

Cute and on-trend Gazelles
These are so fun- I was unfamiliar with this style of Adidas sneaker but saw they were incredibly popular during the NAS and both colors sold out fast. I got both the pink/green and black/white- both are very nice and look like they will be comfy and easy to wear. I do not have a pink pair of shoes since I feel I do not need to draw attention to my big feet but these do not bother me and for casual wear, I like them. They appear to be sturdy and I did not have an issue with the tongue- you just need to flatten it out a bit once it is on. The black/white are a bit more conservative imo. I found them to be true to size in length but a little on the wide side. I wear a 10.5N and the 10 and the 10.5 fit me. Definitely worth buying at the NAS price (if you can find them).... Show more

HUGE and squeak. squeak. squeak.
First, I’m pretty much a size 10 in every shoe consistently with rare exceptions. I ordered my usual size and these things are massive. I’d have to go down at least a half a size. It appears that they could be comfortable if they were the right size but it’s hard to tell. Ultimately, they look OK and I definitely like this bold version better than the flat clown shoe vibe of the original Adidas gazelles. The one thing I cannot get past and will make me not try these in a smaller size is they have the most obnoxious squeak I think because of whatever cheap material the tongue of the shoe is and that squeak isn’t going away. These are a definite no go, and will be returned. It’s too bad because these have a lot of potential to be a cute and comfortable, but somebody ...

LOVE!!!
I listened to prior reviews and ordered a full size and half sized down from my normal size so I knew which size would be a better fit. I’m a size 6 so I ordered 5.5 and 5. The 5 were fitted with socks and without socks I had a little bit of room, but I wanted more wiggle room so the 5.5 were perfect. The tongue was a bit long and stiff, but I’m used to it because I own Veja sneakers. I do hear the squeaky noise, but again that doesn’t bother me at all. I love the triple stacked platform and the suede. Adidas did a beautiful job designing these shoes! I’m just sad that I was late to the game so I’m trying to get the HTF colors that were released in 2023. I bought the pink/green (true to color in photos) and cream/black-there is a slight pink undertone in the lace ...

Love the way they look - you will need to break them in
I saw these when I was in Paris but did t want to lug a pair of sneakers home so thought I was out of luck. But yippee! I found them here. They run VERY big. I got my normal size and my feet were swimming. Went down half a size but probably could have gone down a whole size. They are super cute but whoever made the tongue out of plastic, rather than leather should be fired. I wore them with the tongue folded down towards the laces for several days while I was in the house. That made them wearable but this is a major design flaw. I am a firm believer that you shouldn’t have to break in shoes for them to be comfortable but I bit the bullet on these because I like them. Now that they’re broken in they’re pretty comfortable (but they are too big).... Show more

SO cute, but squeaky…
These are the perfect, fun shade of pink. Not too pastel, yet not too neon. They def scream “IM A FUN SPEING SHOE!”. It feels a bit like I’m having a party on my feet. They are comfy enough although the heels feel a little wide a slip just a bit when walking. Although it wasn’t severe enough to make a blister or even return, if you have super skinny heels, beware. The weirdest thing about this shoe that was almost a deal breaker is that they make noise when you walk. The tongue of the shoe is almost a plastic-y material, and although it looks nice and is a good balance to the other materials in the shoe, they make a SQUEAK/CRUNCH sound with each step. I decided to keep them, but definitely won’t wear to a library or funeral.... Show more

Sold used and uncomfortable shoes
The shoes I received were clearly worn by someone, returned and sold to me. They had a brown stain on the leather that had wear patterns, the box was busted and taped back together and there was no paper wrapping or tags. The shoes run big and even though I wear an 11 and ordered an 11, my foot slipped out at each step. One other thing that I thought was strange is the tongue is very long and rigid and it rubbed against the front of my ankle. If you plan on wearing with tall socks maybe it’s not an issue but it would cause skin irritation with low socks. Even if the shoes hadn’t been used, I would have returned them. The colors were cool but everything else was off.... Show more

True to size and very cute
I had ordered the black sneakers with the white platform in a size 7.5 based on reviews that these shoes ran large. I received the wrong shoes in the box. However it worked out because I ended up with a size 8, which is my true size and they fit perfectly, and I liked the color way I received better than what I ordered. Honestly, a 7.5 would have been too short. The tongue is a little high but it hasn’t bothered me yet. There is good arch support which I appreciate and I also like having the platform for a little bit of extra height. Also, I have a bunion on one foot and these are wide enough that they don’t rub at all. These are now my new favorite shoes.... Show more
