At least a entire size too big. I normally wear a 6 1/2 or 7. In these shoes I would need a 5 1/2. Great looking but they need to get their sizing right.

Took 3 tries to get the right fit, since these are sized for men. I'm normally about a 6.5 women's, so I got the corresponding men's size, too big. Went down to 5.5 womens, too big. Finally got it with a women's 4.5. Just assume if you're a woman that you're going to need a size or 2 smaller than you usually wear. Other than that, shoes look and feel good!

To those people who complained that these shoes are a bit narrow and the arch support is too much, well the solution is to walk in them regularly for a few months. The only improvement I would like to see from Adidas is to make the shell toe wider because I find them to be too narrow.

Great shoe, I have low arches and my feet don't ache at the end of the day and when I where them I am constantly moving so this is truly a great shoe.

My daughter bought this shoe last year in another color. The comfort level is good, but the size does run a bit big. It's a bit of a bulky shoe, too.

A good shoe that's very stylish! Reccomend it to any Adidas fan of shoe enthusiast like me. Size was ok but felt a little small and narrow causing it not to be as comfortable overall a great shoe reccomend to any one!

This is a decent shoe for the price. I think I am in between a size and a size and a half, so it doesn't fit perfectly for me, but it still works. It tends to be a bit narrow though.

There is a reason why these shoes are one of the longest produced models from Adidas. They are worth every cent you will pay for them. They are light and extremely comfortable. The break-in period lasts less than a day if you wear them constantly. The flat soles conform to the terrain you're walking on, which should give you a more "down-to-Earth" feeling. The rubber toe is very durable, especially during those hacky sack sessions. Cons: These shoes don't breathe very well, since they are made of leather and rubber. Also, the soles will likely irritate most people, because they squeak at even the slightest friction. I happen to like it. Other: These don't come with the B-Boy laces from way back. These laces are 1cm wide, whereas the older ones were 1.5-2.0cm.

I bought these shoes for the old school vibe, but it turns out that I love them for the comfort. They are great! The arch support is moderate, which is perfect for my low arches, and the overall feel is very comfortable. Plus they really have a great look!

These are great - a little stiff in the sole, but for the price very durable and comfortable shoes.
Great design. They tend to come undone in the laces - and people think I am a Saints Fan - but overall, a beautiful shoe.

The shoes are very comfortable, but they run a half size small. Style is classic. They hold up well to harsh winter weather.

I bought these to wear on stage in a rap number as part of a larger performance. They look great and fit just fine. If you want the old school Adidas look, pick up a pair of these.

Good shoes. They're my second pair. Love Zappos, only issue was that it took over a week for them to ship. The wait was bad but love the shoes.

Great! The sneakers are classics, my husband loves them, although I will give them 4 stars this time for comfort. As he says, the arch support is not the same as the ones he got 2 years ago. But Zappos is amazing, as always! That's why for my online shoe purchasing, nowhere else will do! They even sent me a "love" email and the sneakers were here the next day! Thanks, Zappos.

These shoes are classics. I\'ve been wearing this style of shoe for years and keep on returning because the timeless style and great comfort. They have fantastic arch support and keep my foot feeling safe, without being orthopedics. The only downside I\'ve experience is that they tend to pull my short socks down to my toes. This is minor and probably won\'t happen to everyone.

I go to the gym with these shoes and they are NOT very comfortable. The ARCH support is way TOO MUCH. It’s been getting better with time, but it hurts my feet when I put pressure on them. Not recommended for exercise. I don’t even consider jogging with them for comfort reasons. Shoes look really cool, and if you’re not pounding on them, they are ok. Overall 4/5.

Maybe it’s just how this one is made, but i bought two different adidas and one was great and this one was tight. They were marked as the same size and width though

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.

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.

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.

These shoes look great and I love that the stripes and area at the back of the heel are suede. Gives the shoe a nice upgrade. However, I found that the toe box in these shoes was incredibly tight. I have worn Adidas Superstar 2Gs (the all leather version of this shoe with a slightly more athletic sole) for years and have loved them, but these Superstars were nowhere near as comfortable. Overall, these were a lot narrower and the rubber cap that encloses the toes was *very* tight in height and width. Evert time I took a step it pinched the top of my toes. These also rode a little lower on the ankle than my previous Adidas shoes. Not really an issue, but makes these more stylish than functional/athletic. Really wish they had a better fit because I loved the look and style. Usually, I prefer a little wider shoe but can be comfortable in a medium width in most brands. However, the Superstar 2 is listed as a medium width, but was still much too narrow for my comfort. Regretfully, am returning mine.

Love Adidas Superstar. I've been wearing this style for years. Only negative thing is the width is tight.

I love the look but adidas does not offer but one width. Anyone like myself with somewhat wider feet has to suffer for weeks breaking them in.

Not as comfortable as the leather version. The shoes look great but squeak when you walk in them.
