Customer Reviews adidas Originals Gazelle

Great fit, great look. Slight green tint to begin with but it resolves into the stone they show here. It's my second pair of Adidas shoes and I haven't been disappointed yet!

Love the Gazelles, they go great with jeans or khakis. My only complaint is that they are excessively squeaky. I'm hoping that this goes away after a month or two of wear.

Okay, so I think the shoes look great, but they're totally unwearable in an office. That's because the tongue of the shoe is made of plastic and it rubs against the plastic on the top of the shoe and makes a really loud squeaking sound with every step. This isn't just a case of new shoes. I've worn them for eight hours several different days and the squeaking is only getting worse. These will be hiding in the back of the closet. Too cool to throw out. Too loud to wear.

My 14 year-old son loves these shoes. He chose the teal blue color, and wears them to school each day. What a refreshing break from the black running shoes he used to wear! So far, they've held up well and look great.

My pair had just came in. I am very pleased with how they felt. The shoes feel like they were meant to fit on my feet. Adidas always have great arch support. They still stand by that. I love style of the shoes. The mid-sole has great texture as well as the bottom of the shoes. I have always loved classic shoes and I am glad that I got me a pair Gazelles.

These are your classic Adidas. They are a great color and fresh kicks. They feel great and look great. Just check the weather so you do not walk out in the rain. Lest you must buy a fresh pair.

Been wearing Gazelles since the early 90s. Probably had over 10 pairs over my life. Just picked these up in red. The color just pops! Perhaps my favorite Adidas, really retro shoes of all time. They're comfortable and pretty go with everything you can wear.

I originally wear a 10 1/2 in Sambas. These fit pretty similar to them. Very nice looking shoes. Goes with anything. Zappos as always was extremely fast with the shipping, it's almost scary. I'm beginning to think that Zappos travels by the way of wormholes. Ordered Wednesday night and got it Thursday morning. Doesn't get any better than that!

Beautiful shoe, I ordered the women's 8.5, which I usually run in a sneaker, and there was at least an extra 1/2 size of room. I'm returning and will order a 1/2 size smaller.

Great pair of shoes that look good. The left shoe's tongue was a bit messed up but not a noticeable mistake. It might feel a bit uncomfortable at first with the end of the tongue rubbing at your feet but you'll probably get used to it. I ordered the same shoe from Eastbay and Zappos did an exceptionally better job in the delivering of the shoe. Overall, a great shoe and Adidas does a great job with the look, as always!

Because they are leather, these shoes had a brief break-in period. As shipped, they felt somewhat narrow. But wearing them for two days changed that, and now they fit very comfortably. I'm very pleased with my purchase, and would certainly buy from Zappos again. I'd offer just one caution concerning the Gazelles: either the product description doesn't tell you that the tongue is made of some kind of foam (not leather), or I missed that when I ordered them. If that is okay with you, though, you'll likely enjoy these shoes.

These are extremely stylish shoes but the pair I have feels uncomfortably tight (both in size and width) and I have the sore and the backs of my ankles are sore and bleeding from trying to break them in.

Very nice shoes! In fact, I'm wearing them right now. I've had the black and white pair, now for the blue!

These are greener than you'd think! But a nice subtle sage-y green, goes well with jeans.

This shoe only squeaks at first, until you treat it. The previous post about rubbing a wet paper towel on the top surface of the shoe toungue really is the correct method to remedy this. Do that a dozen times on each shoe toungue or so and they will become silent when you move while wearing them. Great tip, my new Gazelles stayed in mint condition, inside the box for a month or so- I was avoiding them because they creaked when I moved in them. Just now I tried applying the method of rubbing damp paper towel on the top surface shoe toungue where it was that the laces were rubbing on them. Next, I put the laces back on and I was skeptical at first, but now theyre silent.

I had a pair of Gazelles years ago, and they were my favorite shoes of all time. Sadly, this time around, they weren't a good fit. I don't know if it's the shoes or my feet that have changed, but I found these to be uncomfortably narrow, especially in the toe box... and I don't have especially wide feet. For what it's worth, I had the same problem with a pair of Sambas that I recently tried on. So I ended up returning both pairs of shoes and am going to try for a different style... maybe my feet just aren't well suited to a soccer-style shoe.

I first purchased these from the coach at my college in 1969 They were kangaroo skin and soft and light this is not even a reasonable facsimile just a faux Gazelle sadly

I wore the Original Original Adidas Gazelle in the mid 1970's, so I want to go old-school and get a pair. But the vinyl material on the tongue and heel are so thin and cheap, they squeak when you walk. Can only wear them when I don't have to walk. (So when would that be?) Look good, perform badly. "Sneakers" they ain't.

I bought these shoes to wear for my wedding and they worked great with my suit. The shoes are comfortable once they're broken in and worn but the initial wears were a bit tough and numbed my toes since they were a bit narrower than expected. But they look good, versatile, and are comfy.

Great purchase. Bought these as a birthday gift for our daughter. Great purchase. Fast shipping. Daughter loves them and we saved a little money!

Width! Be aware of the width. I wear a narrow show and I love the width of my size 12 Adidas Originals Gazelle. For years I have worn a medium in other shoes and simply had to tie the laces very tight. Now I've finally found a medium that fits my narrow foot. I will be happy to order this shoe again from Zappo for the service was prompt and carefully packaged. I'm wearing my Gazelle as I write and am about to go on a long walk!

I've had a few pair of Gazelle's over the year, but I think their must be a different factory or mold as a new Retro color pair I just picked up felt narrow in the toes and seemed to have a curve foot bed just before the toes. I usually like a narrow shoe like the Mexico 66 (err Medium width I guess). Maybe it was just my pair, but am sending them back. Thanks Zappos for your awesome shipping/return polices!

Awesome shoes! They were incredibly narrow fitting at first but after a couple days they became very comfortable. They are also holding up nicely and are pretty nice looking. I recommend to anyone who likes this style shoes.
