I am really disappointed with these shoes. The tongue is very sharp against my ankles. Iâve had to wear the shoes with the laces very loose to make them wearable. I donât like that look and feel like my shoes could fall off at any time. There is no support within the shoe so walking in them for long periods leaves me with sore feet. My old adidas purchased over five years ago were almost identical but of much better quality. I wore them to work several times a week and held up much longer than expected. I thought these would replace them but they donât come close.

Tried so hard to get these during Anniversary Pre-Sale (they sold out immediately), then they arrived and the shoes are different colors. âšď¸The right shoe is more rose-toned, while the left is straight-up tan. Really disappointing, so back they go. Hoping to maybe find a return that actually matches. đAs for fit, I found them to run exactly a half-size large. I am a pretty true 8.5, bought the 8 in these based on reviews and they fit perfectly.

Great shoe, style, and neutral colorway. Just what I was looking for. It was also delivered quickly which was awesome. The only reason for the loss of a star was that this shoe was clearly slightly used. It had dark scuffs on both toes and on the soles. They were also not wrapped in the paper in the box. The paper was all bunched up under it as if someone put them on and then just put them back in without bothering with the paper. It's not bad enough that I'll go through the hassle of exchanging them but however they handle returns and inspections, they need to put a little more attention into the restocking process.

I never write reviews but felt like I needed to for these shoes. I see so many people saying they run large. I didnât find that at all. Many of the Adidas shoes come in unisex (menâs) sizing. I ordered the brown pair in the anniversary sale and ordered my regular size. They fit as expected. I compared my 9.5 gazelles to my 8.5 unisex sambas and they were basically the same size. Not sure of some Nordstrom locations get true female sizes and some get unisex or what but I definitely did not need to go down a full size based on many of the reviews.
These shoes are beautiful! They were given to me as a Christmas gift and I was so excited. The look, the color was just my style. Sadly, after trying 3 different sizes, they just didn't work for me. My feet are average and I never have issues with shoes fitting me. The ankles and heels slipped and rubbed my foot. They squeak really loudly the whole time I was walking. I was very disappointed with everything about the shoe except for the look of it. If you buy them, go down a half size. I wear a 9, but could fit in the 8 and 8.5. I felt the 8.5 fit best though. Sad they didn't work out because they were super cute.
Was able to snag these this morning in the earth color. They're a very pretty brown and they look really cute on. Great comfort level right out of the box. That all being said, they run huge. I'm usually a 9.5 sometimes a 10 in sneakers. I had to go down to an 8.5! 8.5!!! What?! Super glad they had them in store and I could try before they completely sold out. Consider going down a whole size if you are wanting these. Also, not sure I'd say "towel" like in texture but it is a rougher suede. This isn't a fashion shoe at the level of Rag and Bone (obviously the price gives that away) so don't expect the suede at that level. Cute, comfortable, affordable, sneakers but BIG!
Love the color combo! Ivory and brown ... very soft, pretty and versatile. Usually a 7.5 but the 7 fit better. Major issue: they squeaked so badly when I walked I could not keep them! I have 3 other Adidas sneaks - not gazelle- and none of them do this. So sad I had to return them! Only other thing I'll mention is that the suede is very "nubby" - intentionally rough and bumpy. Neither a positive or negative, just interesting. I'm sure someone else will be happy to get these, I just could not handle the squeaks. :)
I had a TERRIBLE experience at my local Dickâs store that made me decide to just return the shoes and go buy them somewhere else. I bought these shoes for my wife for Valentineâs Day but they were a little too big so I needed to exchange them for another size. I went into my local Dicks store where I waited for 25-30 mins in line because they had a big sale and only two people to work the registers. Then after waiting that time they had me wait to the side while âsomeone brought the other pair for me.â They had to call back 2 more times because the shoe runner never came and then finally the person at the register said they had it but the guy needed to talk to me because they were on a mannequin, which I said was fine. I walked back and the guys said âwhat shoes did ... MoreI had a TERRIBLE experience at my local Dickâs store that made me decide to just return the shoes and go buy them somewhere else.

I walked back and the guys said âwhat shoes did you want?â Very frustrating at that point in itself. Then when I told him he said âoh yeah we donât have that size hereâ. So now after about an hour of waiting I was back to square one. I returned the shoes and bought them somewhere else. Iâve been shopping at this store for a long time and have spent thousands of dollars on golf clubs, baseball gear, boxing equipment and clothes. This made me never want to spend another dime with this company. Customer service matters.
These were a big disappointment. First of all, straight out of the box, they made noises as I walked in them. Second, they felt a bit big for my normal size 9, they rubbed in my heel and did not feel comfortable at all. I have black Reeboks, and they are a lot more comfortable. I have always thought Adidas was a great brand but now Iâve changed my mind. The look is cute but they basically hurt my feet. I couldnât wait to get back home and take them off. I probably wonât be able to return them, but I doubt I will wear them again. I asked family members I thought were the same shoe size as me so I could give them away, but nobody I know wears a 9. I guess I will try to sell them.
The sizing on these shoes is insanely confusing. Numerous reviews say to size down, they say theyâre unisex sizing so only size down if youâre wanting women sizing, they say the womenâs gazelles are true to size, then they say they run small 𤣠the fact is these run MASSIVE. These are womenâs shoes, labeled womenâs, sold in womenâs section. Yet they are not womenâs 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 menâs and definitely not in women. They fit. Theyâre snug but I think a 6.5 would be too big.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SIZE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?! Isnât 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.
