I absolutely love this shoe and find them very comfortable EXCEPT for the tongue. I don’t know what they were thinking when they designed it to go that high, but my god did it dig into my ankle. Wore them on a trip to Boston and was in complete agony until I folded it in half. Of course now they don’t look as awesome, but it’s the only way I can walk in them. Regarding the size - I wear a 7 in adidas running shoes so that’s what I went with. Could have gone with a 6.5 but liked having a little extra room. However, I also tried on the Spezial and Sambas, and most definitely had to go down to a 6.5.

I fell in love with these gazelles as soon as I unboxed them. Despite the extra height in the sole they’re so light on the feet and were comfortable from the first outing. The only thing I didn’t like was the over long laces so I switched them out for shorter ones. There was also a noticeable squeak which I realised was the tongue rubbing against the inner padding. This was easily fixed by applying some leather conditioning balm. Fab addition to my collection so may get them in another colour.

This style definitely runs large. I am a 10, ordered a 10, had to exchange for a 9.5. And my heel still slips a tiny bit, but can be fixed with tighter lacing.I agree with other reviewers that the tongue is a big, "What the?!". It looks cool but my guess is this shoe wasn't product tested. However, it's not a deal-breaker for me. I folded it down the first few times I wore them, and it's getting better. The squeak also goes away with wear.I think if you're committed, these could be for you. Also the "quartz" is light pink—I was expecting more of a tan. But it's a really pretty neutral sneaker option.

These are so fun- I was unfamiliar with this style of Adidas sneaker but saw they were incredibly popular during the NAS and both colors sold out fast. I got both the pink/green and black/white- both are very nice and look like they will be comfy and easy to wear. I do not have a pink pair of shoes since I feel I do not need to draw attention to my big feet but these do not bother me and for casual wear, I like them. They appear to be sturdy and I did not have an issue with the tongue- you just need to flatten it out a bit once it is on. The black/white are a bit more conservative imo. I found them to be true to size in length but a little on the wide side. I wear a 10.5N and the 10 and the 10.5 fit me. Definitely worth buying at the NAS price (if you can find them).
I saw these when I was in Paris but did t want to lug a pair of sneakers home so thought I was out of luck. But yippee! I found them here. They run VERY big. I got my normal size and my feet were swimming. Went down half a size but probably could have gone down a whole size. They are super cute but whoever made the tongue out of plastic, rather than leather should be fired. I wore them with the tongue folded down towards the laces for several days while I was in the house. That made them wearable but this is a major design flaw. I am a firm believer that you shouldn’t have to break in shoes for them to be comfortable but I bit the bullet on these because I like them. Now that they’re broken in they’re pretty comfortable (but they are too big).
I’ll start by saying I love these shoes. But I think the sizing is different with each colour you get. I’m a size 8 (39) across the board. I got the pink ones in 39 1/3 and they are quite big. The laces are SO long. I got these green and gold ones in the 38 2/3 and they are quite small. But the shoe itself and the material is quite different! So maybe the sizing in the pink is bigger?? I still find these wildly comfortable though. I can walk for ages in the pink ones, not in the green/gold cos they’re too tight. The green ones also arrived in a totally beaten up plain cardboard box which seemed really weird.
The shoes I received were clearly worn by someone, returned and sold to me. They had a brown stain on the leather that had wear patterns, the box was busted and taped back together and there was no paper wrapping or tags. The shoes run big and even though I wear an 11 and ordered an 11, my foot slipped out at each step. One other thing that I thought was strange is the tongue is very long and rigid and it rubbed against the front of my ankle. If you plan on wearing with tall socks maybe it’s not an issue but it would cause skin irritation with low socks. Even if the shoes hadn’t been used, I would have returned them. The colors were cool but everything else was off.
These shoes are so cute and versatile, however, there are some uncompromisable flaws. Firstly, the tongue is so oversized and sturdy that it cuts into the ankle with every step. Frankly, I'm not sure how anyone can wear these without that constant discomfort?Secondly, the sizing is a little off here, so beware of that. I would go a half size or maybe even a full size down to get the right fit. I love how these look, but unfortunately, I had to return. :(
Love the platform version of these gazelles. I was looking for a neutral color and these are great. My second pair!Sizing help:Adidas are notorious for running too big. My tip is to find your euro size on the Adidas size chart and work backwards. For example, I am normally a size 9 US and that usually translates to a size 40 Euro but in Adidas sizing, they consider a size 40 to be a size 8 US. It’s a little different for every shoe but once I figured out that I need to use the euros size and work backwards, it’s been really helpful in the shoes fitting properly.
Definitely runs at least half size bigger. I listened to the reviews and ordered down half size but I should’ve ordered down a full size.My issue is the tongue! What were they thinking?!?! It’s not cute at all. It’s ginormous and Squeaks more than you can even imagine. It’s a weird puffy plastic that is just truly awful!I wanted to love them. I think the quartz black is a unique and beautiful color but alas will have to return . For me there’s no escaping the tongue mishap of this shoe.
