Customer Reviews adidas Skateboarding Adi-Ease - Deleted

These are great shoes until they started falling apart on me only six months after purchase. The sole literally separated from the canvas part of the shoe at the heel. I just wore them as day to day shoes - nothing crazy. I am hoping this was a fluke with Adidas brand shoes. Time will tell. My last main pair of shoes I wore for like four years until I wore them out.

I wanted to like this shoe. Opened them up and they looked great. The suede is beautiful, they have a great style Then I put them on. I have a normal size 13 foot; never had to purchase "wide" shoes. These were extremely narrow. They also have zero arch support, in fact it felt as if the arch support was on the outside of the shoe, rather than the inside. Something was pushing on the outside edge of my foot in both shoes, but I couldn't find anything inside the shoe. The worst part was the heel. Around the opening of the shoe, the leather is stitched together in back, and it felt like a barb was digging through my socks right into my Achilles tendon. Just walking around inside the house for 30 minutes and I have a blister on both feet.

I purchased these for my HS son and he loves them. He has wide feet and they work very well and hold up very well. They do run true to size. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a plain, white shoe with comfort and loves these. They're comfortable, stylish, and true to size.

Olive color is great. Awesome light weight shoe....be warned that the back panel and tongue are Velcro. Several patches are included that will stick to the velcro areas which makes this shoe a NoGo for anyone over 13

Super stylish. Great colors. My 11 year old loves the Velcro patches.

My new favorite shoes! Not only very affordable and stylish, but also way more comfortable than I expected.

Pretty flat shoes, but surprisingly don't hurt. I have flat feet, and etnies hurt very badly, but these aren't bad. I like the look and weight, and simplicity. They look good with pretty much anything. They're right on size-size, and although narrow when you put them on, the canvas stretches.

This is a great, basic skate shoe. Decent grip, great board feel. The one piece toe panel is durable.

My son loves these shoes. They are super comfortable and great for the wide foot. They also last a long time.

So I bought these shoes back in January since I've always wanted a pair of Adidas shoes. When these arrived at my door step, I was so excited to get them on. They were the exact style I was looking for but when I first tried them on, they were just a bit too small, as my toes hit the top of the shoe. I ordered the size I always do, so I was a tad bit worried these would always be a bit small. Thankfully once I wore them in, I no longer have that problem! Zappos has always been a great place to order from. They have great customer service and shipping is a dream. Will definitely be purchasing from here again if I ever need new shoes!

Very cool looking shoes! Zappos is the bomb! I wouldn't order from anyone else! The free shipping & the customer service & the promptness are unmatchable! Thank you ZAPPOS for being something I can always rely on!

Great shoes and efficient service. What I particularly liked is the fact that the color was perfectly represented in the photo. Sometimes in websites colors aren't well-rendered.

These shoes are great! I am on my 4th pair and I continue to seek out new colorways in the Adi-Ease whenever they are released. I just bought the black w/black stripes pair in canvas. I figure they will be nice for summer wear; lightweight, breathable, etc...I have very narrow feet and these are one of the few skate shoes that fit perfectly. Slim and sleek design. The best Adidas skateboarding shoe out there in my opinion. I skate in a suede pair, which last an incredibly long time, and have excellent grip and board feel. If you are looking for super arch support and padded protection, look elsewhere. The Adi-ease is more like a sturdier Converse Chuck Taylor.

These are awesome casual shoes. Great with low socks or barefoot. They do not have the big thick tongue that most "skateboarding" sneakers have. Great with shorts or khakis. Just enough style without being too flashy.

I've ordered with Zappos twice. The first time involved a return, something we usually dread. But because I was treated in such a stellar way and my return was made so easy, I vowed to order through Zappos again. We recently did so and were blown away because we'd been told that our order would arrive within 5 to 8 business days. Instead, it came one day after we placed our order. I've spread the word about Zappos' outstanding customer service, even at the post office. We will gladly and gratefully order from Zappos again. Great job!

First off, I love this style of Adidas shoes. I love the lightweight shoe with plenty of toebox room. However, these are a bit different from what I'm used to. First, the heel is stiffer than most of the other Adidas shoes of this style, not bad just stiffer. Second, the heel and tongue are Velcro and there are a handful of Velcro badges to affix to these spots. I think the Velcro is what makes these spaces stiffer, not sure I'm a huge fan of this feature... Perhaps if I was 13 and thought this was "cool" but it's also not a deal breaker. Overall, I would absolutely purchase these kicks again.

The first day I wore these sneakers, they were abominably uncomfortable. I have high arches, and they felt almost painfully tight in that region, something I was not expecting and did not experience with previous Adidas sneakers. However, they broke in pretty quickly, so if you experience the same thing, I'd just give it a couple days. They still aren't quite as comfortable as other sneakers I've had in the past, but they're serviceable. I can't really comment on whether or not they are true to size; I just checked the size on a pair of Adidas sneakers I bought in the store previously. All in all, I'm not dissatisfied with my purchase, but I likely won't buy this kind again.

Great shoes. Good for skating add a good weight to your feet. Durable used them as an everyday shoe and they lasted quite a while.

Great looking casual shoe. Very little (read no) padding on the tongue and collar. Fine for walking around town, but not sure about skating or other athletic activities. Very little arch support.

Nice pair of shoes at a reasonable price, they are lightweight with great traction. I played basketball in them and they served pretty well. I can understand why they would be good for skateboarding with the grip of the out sole. Zappos' service was outstanding.

I ordered these to replace a pair of Chuck Taylor's I got less than a year before. I shuffle a bit when I walk, and the soles started to fall out of them within six months. These fit into that same style category, so I wear them with almost anything (including khakis and a tie). They look sharp, but that's not my reason for getting them. After almost two months of nearly daily wear, they are still in good shape, and very comfortable. The only reason for a four star, rather than five, is how easily they get dirty. However, this is not something that can be avoided with black canvas. I would give 4.5 if I could.

I am a little disappointed, the black with white stripes is not suede but canvas. Zappos has all colors listed as easy to wear suede. Other than that, these are nice comfortable shoes, but I will not be skating in these since they are canvas and not suede.

These fit like a dream. I love the look and feel of the exterior, just really great material. Unfortunately I am returning the item because from a stylistic standpoint I don't really care for the black line going around the top, below the eyelets. I would like it a lot better if that trim wasn't there. It creates a bit too much visual distraction for me, definitely not in accord with my minimalistic aesthetics.

The shoes look great but you cannot walk in them more than an hour without your feet screaming in pain. If all you do is skateboard, do not worry about it, but if you use your feet to walk, avoid these shoes.
