Customer Reviews adidas Originals SL 72

I bought these for my husband (per his request). He found them whiter in color than they appeared in the picture, but he still kept them and has been wearing them daily.

Great Shoe! They fit pretty well for the most part, but the width is a little narrower than I would have liked. It isn't too bad though. Also, they have very little padding on the sides around the ankle so a pair of thicker socks might be appropriate.

Little worried at first - When I first opened the box and looked at the sole of the shoe, I was a little scared. I thought the arch of the shoe was going to be way too narrow. Even after I tried it on, I was still skeptical. However, I loved the look of the shoe and I decided to try them on for a day anyway. Glad I did. Great look, great fit, and comfortable. I have no complaints! Buy the shoe, just don't wear them around me!

Love these sneakers! These shoes were perfect from start to finish. I’ve barely taken them off since buying them! They are lightweight, stylish, and comfortable! I get tons of compliments on them and would recommend them and Zappos to anyone! Such quick delivery and great results every time! I ordered down a half size, since adidas tends to run a tiny bit bigger than other brands.

Classic Adidas don't disappoint - I've had a lot of disappointments with shoes that just don't seem to fit right, squeak, or fall apart quickly, but these SL72s were perfect. I swear by anything from the Adidas Originals line, and these shoes hold up well. There's a reason why they've been so popular for so many years. Definitely recommended.

Cool shoes that fit just fine - You know what you're getting--fairly comfortable shoes that look good. I'm quite satisfied.

I've got wider feet, so these will take a little while to break in, but they seem pretty comfortable as of right now. They are slightly squeaky still, but that should go away with another week of wear (I hope). Great fit.

Style and Comfort - This is a great shoe! Stylish yet comfortable. I have gotten numerous comments on this shoe...and it fits great!

Pleasant surprise! My (hard to fit and hard to pick out clothes for) son pointed these out to me - later that day I ordered them, with free shipping, and I got them the next day! Great service and true to size fit.

So retro - At first they feel narrow but after I wore them a while they feel great. They are so cute. I sometimes wear a size 5 1/2 and sometimes a 6; in these shoes I got a 6.

Best ever - Overall, very comfortable shoes and the good part is that you can combine with jeans and dress pants as well. Can’t wait until my wife lets me buy something else (it's a joke)...YOU GUYS ROCK. The good part about it is that you don't pay shipping, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS.

Sweet Kicks - Great shoes, they look great with jeans. They are comfortable and stylish.

Great shoes! I am a fan of Adidas Originals, and these shoes have yet to disappoint! They look cool; the fango/aluminum/slime is subtle, but just flashy enough for people to compliment. They take a bit of breaking in because the sole is very stiff rubber, but they are incredibly comfortable. My feet are 12.5 wide, and a 13 fits perfect!

I love the look of these, very retro. I think they look best without any socks. That being said the material doesn't breath much. The shoe is comfortable and the size was dead on.

Nice shoes overall. Love the style - a bit more sleek than the Sambas or other Originals shoes. Definitely order half-size up. The tongue is a bit stiff as reported, and can make slipping them on while tied a chore. Tongue is also a bit squeaky. In the white/grey/black colorway, the white is pretty transparent, so any details/colors on your socks could show through. Just stick with all white socks. Arch support is decent for a low-profile shoe, though those with high arches (like me) might need a bit more.

Would buy again. Shoes were nice. Love the color. Wider foot people beware, but they will break in soon. Thinking about getting another color of them.

A Kid Again - Love the sneaker! Brings me back to when I was a kid. Not the most comfortable, but worth it for the look. Fit is great and cushioning is fine, but it has little arch support for those who need it. Overall I love these!!!

Good looking, a little stiff - Great looking shoe. It's a little bit stiff, but I may need to soften it up by wearing more. The insole bed is kinda sticky - my socks stick to it as I'm putting them on, making it tough to quickly slide on the shoes...takes a little bit of work. These all might go away with further use. Also, the sides around the ankle are a little high; they rub on my ankle a little bit. Good looking shoes, tho.

Great shoes - I tried two sizes of shoes, and ended up keeping the ones that were a half size larger than my measured foot size (I also do this with Nikes). I'm honestly not perfectly happy with the size, but my normal size was simply too tight of a fit. These shoes will take a while to break in (as other reviewers noted), but I am very happy with the style. I love the stripe at the bottom!

A little tight, squeaks - Great looking shoe. Needs to be broken in. Has started squeaking a little when walking - hopefully will go away.

Overall, Great Shoe - I love the style of this shoe. My only complaint would be the very thing tongue. Other than that, I have no complaints. I love the way the shoe looks.
