Leather quality and finshing is not good enough for it to last more than a year of fairly regular use. Does not worth more tha 5 k so look out for offers. Among the white minimal sneakers available in India this one is better than the likes of zara and H&M sneakers. Aldo or even Clarks are probably better in quality but the classic iconic silhouette of the Stan Smiths are unparellel.

Ankle cut to bits with the tongue of this trainer

I have worn stan smiths forever so was disappointed to find that the tongue is no longer padded. These look great but after a few hours of wearing I had to sores with broken skin on front of both ankles. Foolishly I wore them first time to go on holiday and now have had to wear my mums trainers as these are too painful. Wasn’t really the look I was going for. At £85 for shoes I now can’t wear, I’m extremely disappointed

Comfortable shoe, but grossed out by the shape they came in

Unfortunately, my pair came clearly pre-worn or at least tried on. Whoever tried them on/wore them left behind small hairs inside the shoe, as well as little specks of what appeared to be sand or dirt. The tag was also completely detached and just thrown in the package. Especially during COVID, I would expect them to be taking extra precautions when re-shipping returned items. I have been searching high and low for these in my size, so I will be doing the cleaning and keeping them. Overall, not satisfied with the condition of my purchase. Make sure you order at least a half-full size down. I’m normally a 7.5/8 and the 7 fits great.

Gorgeous but not very comfortable

I bought these having heard from friends about how comfortable Stan Smith shoes are. Unfortunately, my experience does not match the same level of enthusiasm. Perhaps I did not order the correct model, these are synthetic, not leather, which doesn't allow the feet to breathe properly. Also, perhaps a fault of my order only, one shoe arrived slightly looser than the other, maybe it had been tried on several times. I thought the other one would get looser after one wear, however, this did not happen. The shoes feel quite rigid and the material does not get softer as you wear it. After a couple of hours of wearing, my calves and the soles of my feet really hurt and It's a shame as the design is beautiful. The quality, however is not great.

Odd update to a classic

I’m a big fan of Stan Smiths and my last pair are still my go-to for times I need comfort, even if they are battered and grubby from Glastonbury 2024.This new update is a bit odd. Apparently it’s now vegan leather (which I guess I support as a veggie) but they feel a lot less supple and they squeak. A lot. Hopefully they’ll bed in, but for now jury is out.

Stylish, but tongue too long

These shoes are great! So stylish. About the only complaint I have is how long the tongue is. I wish it was a little shorter. Feels weird, especially with no show or low show socks.

order 1/2 size larger

I’m a fan of this shoe since school and that is 52 years ago! I haven’t made a SS purchase because I’ve so many other sneakers that I have. This perfect time with a great sale just made me make an online purchase. As I anxiously waited for my SS’s to arrive my anticipation was through the roof, of course I couldn’t tell my wife I had ordered another pair of tennis shoes (sneakers).When they arrived, I immediately tried the right shoe on and to my surprise, it was tight and my big toe went right to the tip of the front! I knew it was to small, even though I ordered the exact size I ordered for every other shoe I bought. I immediately signed up for the Nordstrom easy return program and boxed up the SS’s in the original perfect shipping box. I was still in need for ... MoreI’m a fan of this shoe since school and that is 52 years ago! I haven’t made a SS purchase because I’ve so many other sneakers that I have.

I immediately signed up for the Nordstrom easy return program and boxed up the SS’s in the original perfect shipping box. I was still in need for this shoe so I called customer service and explained that I still wanted the shoe but in half size larger (10.5 to 11). The sale was over but the Customer Service agent, 1st checked if the size and color I wanted was in stock, okayed, then t match the sale price, okayed.He sent to me right away. Here’s my only complaint, the shoes came in those ugly gray postal shipping bags and the Adidas blue and white box was all torn up and luckily the SS’s inside didn’t display any scratches or marks.I keep my shoes in the original boxes in my closet. I keep my shoes orderly and stacked up. My reordered SS’s size 11 fits me nicely. See the pictures of the torn up box the SS’s came in. Otherwise, great service from Nordstrom!
