I love these sneakers and if they weren't just little bit uncomfortable I would give them 5-stars. I kept them because they look so cute but they are not the most comfy shoes I own so definitely a little more fashion over function. They are just a little high/rigid in the arch. I am playing around with removing the insoles and have ordered a generic set to try out instead. Other than that they are super cool and I can't wait for Summer to wear them more.

Very cute shoe but the weird long plastic/foam feels like cardboard tongue is just bizarre. Def will rub front of foot when wearing. Heel slips also but that would have been ok for casual wear around town but I can't get over the tongue issue. Trying a Samba instead.

I loved the green color, but as other reviewers stated the tongue is like cheap paper or styrofoam. The tongue was also too long, it actually rubbed against my ankle area. They are actually larger in size, I normally wear an 8.5 and these in 8.5 were too big. I had to return these because I know with the two issues I would never wear them.

I was so looking forward to getting these shoes as I have looked for so long online to find the sizing and color I wanted. It was suggested by this store that they run big so I should downsize. I wear a 7.5 and the only size down from that according to the chart was a 6 so that's what I ordered. They are much too small, my toes are cramped up in the shoe and I'm having to return. It would have been best for me to just order my usual size and they do not run big. So that is where the disappointment comes in. Looking for so long, advise to order a size smaller and having to go back to searching again. Star rating is 2 because I love the shoe but seller has wrong advise about sizing.
I like everything about this sneaker except the plastic tongue. It cut into my leg. I put a bandaid there when I wear these. For some reason it only happens on the right. I also don’t pull the tongue all the way up and keep it low. I ordered a half size down because these run big.
This is a very good-looking sneaker with an extremely comfortable foot bed. The one thing I found to be less than comfortable was the tongue, which if it isn't laying correctly, can pinch the top of my foot. It took quite a few changes and finagling to stop the right tongue from pinching me. The tongue is made of a different material--a thin foam material. I think the material of the tongue is what causes the squeaking that some reviewers complained about. I heard the squeaking when I tried on the sneakers around the house. Later when I wore them to church and to dinner, the squeaking went away. I don't hear much squeaking any more.Overall, I recommend these stylin' sneakers because they look GREAT and are very comfortable (if the tongue lies flat).

In athletic (running) shoes I wear an 11. In these Adidas Gazelle sneakers, I got a 10 and they fit perfectly. They do run big.
This shoe is perfect for spring and summer. The look is good for a very casual or a smart casual look. The fit is comfortable. I have many Adidas shoes and this another winner. Adidas run a little large. I usually wear a 8.5. But an 8 fits me fine.
I honestly thought they sent me the wrong size or I mistakenly ordered men’s. I already ordered half a size small, sent back and ordered another full size smaller. The color was awesome, love that the laces are a slightly brighter color. Hope the next try fits!
Yeah I know, they’re cute. Irresistible. Until you put them on. Noisy, and the inside tongue! The way it’s attached either all that excess material that is not stitched down, blisters across the top of my toes every time. No matter how thick the socks I wear. Sorry Adidas, but you can do better.
The sizing on these shoes is insanely confusing. Numerous reviews say to size down, they say they’re unisex sizing so only size down if you’re wanting women sizing, they say the women’s gazelles are true to size, then they say they run small 🤣 the fact is these run MASSIVE. These are women’s shoes, labeled women’s, sold in women’s section. Yet they are not women’s 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 men’s and definitely not in women. They fit. They’re snug but I think a 6.5 would be too big.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SIZE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?! Isn’t 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.
