Awesome sneaker - uncomfortable arch support.
I love these sneakers and if they weren't just little bit uncomfortable I would give them 5-stars. I kept them because they look so cute but they are not the most comfy shoes I own so definitely a little more fashion over function. They are just a little high/rigid in the arch. I am playing around with removing the insoles and have ordered a generic set to try out instead. Other than that they are super cool and I can't wait for Summer to wear them more.... Show more

Disappointed
I was so looking forward to getting these shoes as I have looked for so long online to find the sizing and color I wanted. It was suggested by this store that they run big so I should downsize. I wear a 7.5 and the only size down from that according to the chart was a 6 so that's what I ordered. They are much too small, my toes are cramped up in the shoe and I'm having to return. It would have been best for me to just order my usual size and they do not run big. So that is where the disappointment comes in. Looking for so long, advise to order a size smaller and having to go back to searching again. Star rating is 2 because I love the shoe but seller has wrong advise about sizing.... Show more

Fits true to size but a little wide in the heel
Good looking sneakers! Very comfortable and light. Lighter than I remember them being in the 90s.I have heels and ankles on the narrower side. I take the lace through the top two holes like I do my running shoes prior to tying them to keep them from being as loose in the heel. Please see the photo.... Show more

Great addition for Stan Smith lovers
This is a comfortable shoe that is very versatile and can be worn with almost anything. I loved the color and thought it made the shoe a little bit more feminine. The only reason I didn't give the shoe 5 stars is because the picture/description is not completely accurate. The Gazelle in this color actually has a beige sole, which I didn't like as I thought it clashed with the shoe accents which are white. For those who want a pink Gazelle with a white bottom, the style in Vapor Pink is the one you should be looking to purchase. The shoe does run a little bit big... even bigger than Superstar or Stan Smith. I went a half size down from my usual Stan and Superstar size.... Show more

Love my new Gazelles
I love the colour of these Gazelles; they would go with anything. The only thing that needs to change is the tongue as all Gazelles have a very thin tongue made of plastic/foam? which squeaks; it needs to be made of leather.... Show more

Sporty, stylish sneaker
This is a very good-looking sneaker with an extremely comfortable foot bed. The one thing I found to be less than comfortable was the tongue, which if it isn't laying correctly, can pinch the top of my foot. It took quite a few changes and finagling to stop the right tongue from pinching me. The tongue is made of a different material--a thin foam material. I think the material of the tongue is what causes the squeaking that some reviewers complained about. I heard the squeaking when I tried on the sneakers around the house. Later when I wore them to church and to dinner, the squeaking went away. I don't hear much squeaking any more.Overall, I recommend these stylin' sneakers because they look GREAT and are very comfortable (if the tongue lies flat). SIZING--in most ...

these DO run very Large
The sizing on these shoes is insanely confusing. Numerous reviews say to size down, they say they’re unisex sizing so only size down if you’re wanting women sizing, they say the women’s gazelles are true to size, then they say they run small 🤣 the fact is these run MASSIVE. These are women’s shoes, labeled women’s, sold in women’s section. Yet they are not women’s sizing. I am normally a 7.5-8 in all shoes, 38.5 or 39EU. I typically wear a 7 in adidas since they do run big on me. I could really use a 7.25, 7.5 is just too big and slides on my heel. For these they said to size down. Well my normal adidas size is 7, so I went with a 6. A size I NEVER wear in unisex, or men’s and definitely not in women. They fit. They’re snug but I think a 6.5 would be too big. WHY ...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SIZE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?! Isn’t it just based off of measurements? Something that can easily be dialed in. So annoying to try and order shoes online and stores never have any inventory of anything anyone wants.... Show more

They were perfect until I undid laces
I loved everything about these shoes EXCEPT the white tongue. The tongue of these shoes feels cheap, like paper thin foam or something. I don't understand why Adidas would ruin such a great shoe with this cheap tongue. They do run large. I normally wear a size 9 and purchased an 8 1/2. I purchased the grey/white/gold combo as the light grey color is very pretty. I saw someone wearing it at the local mall and ordered them online. I would keep these if it weren't for that tongue. I feel that it will not hold up over time. I guess Adidas shoes just don't work for me as I have tried Stan Smith, Allstars, and Gazelle to no avail (the other two models ran odd in sizing and I could not find a size that would not slip off my heels)....

Weird Shoe Tongues
It’s with sadness that I need to return these shoes because they are super cute. I purchased the off-white which is a great summer color. I am usually between a size 10.5 and 11. I ordered a size 9.5 and they were a pretty good fit. They were a bit narrow for my wide feet but if you have a normal, medium fit, you should be ok.So the problem? The tongue of these shoes are of some funky polyurethane material that is very stiff and unforgiving. They are ok when I walk around but if I’m sitting, they would cut into the top of my foot. It’s almost like Adidas was trying to lower the cost of these shoes by not using a leather tongue. I would have gladly paid a little more for these shoes had they had a leather tongue. What a shame because they are otherwise great.... Show more
