I ordered both the silver and Aurora black. I ordered the silver in 9.5, which is what I typically wear in sneakers/running shoes, but they were too big and a bit too shiny for me. Those went back. The 9 in the Aurora were adorable...kind of a tarnished silver to purplish in person and I ended up keeping those.

I'm normally wear a 7 1/2. I purchased a 6 1/2 and 7. They were both too big. I was not pleased with how the shoes arrived. The shoes were falling out of the bag when I opened it because the box was literally falling apart. Torn and smashed box. I can't believe you shipped an order in that kind of condition. I expect better from Nordstrom.

Purchased emerald green to match my emerald green track pants. Wear size 10, which fits to a tee. Actually makes my foot appear smallerVery surprised as how lightweight and comfortable these are. The green color pops, pops, and pops! The tongue is kinda short but I can deal with that. The inseam also comes out. Feels like I'm walking on air. So pleased, I went back and ordered the black pair. Very fast delivery.

Bought a women's 10. I need to go down half size. Not sure if a whole size down for me would be comfortable as the toe box is a bit narrow. Lots of wiggle room width wise even though the shoe is narrow at the tip, if that makes sense. The thin nylon fabric contributes to the extra space of wiggle room. Definitely no support, pretty flat shoe. I could probably get over that by adding insoles. (Which in that case I would only go half size down, instead of a whole size down) Will say that if you have big feet like me, it will only make them look bigger. Makes my feet look longer than it is but hoping sizing down half or whole size would fix that. Overall comfortable shoes, doesn't rub anywhere that would cause blisters and I wear thin half socks (toe socks) with these. ... MoreBought a women's 10. I need to go down half size.

I can’t believe the number of reviews that say these shoes run true-to-size. They run HUGE and you definitely need to size down at least a full size, if not more.I am a 9 in most US brands and a 39.5 in European. I ordered an 8.5 in these and they are like clown shoes on me. I probably need a 7.5. Wild.
The SL 72 women’s sneaker runs large….. not true to size as indicated. I’m a true 7.5 and I went a half size down after reading reviews and 7 is still loose on me. My feet are medium/regular width. I decided to order a size 6.5 to compare the difference in fit and return the pair that doesn’t work for me. I suggest factoring in the type of material these sneakers are made of and the width of your feet. Leather typically holds shape better, but fabric tends stretch fairly easily.
These shoes do not run true to size. At least in my case they don't. I always wear a size 10 M and in this shoe I finally settled for a 9.5 M. Probably could've worn a 9 M. The heel does run wide and if you do not lace the shoes all the way your heel will slip. I could take these shoes off without even untying them in my normal size. I will see if the 9.5 is any better and if it isn't I will go back to the Samba or Gazelle. I wear a size 10 in both of those shoes. These are cute but Adidas needs to fix this sizing issue. Frustrated beyond belief.
So disappointed in Nordstroms! Purchased a pair of shoes, when I received box was broken, and on side of box sticker that said Nordstroms Rack, so disappointed! If I purchased item on the Rack app I would have been ok but I purchased thru Nordstroms, completely different and then the return process HORRIBLE! I took QR code to FedX for free return and FedX made me pay for a shipping bag $5, made me so mad I will never shop at Nordstroms again and will make sure my family never shops at Nordstroms again! So disappointed and angry! And I have always been a faithful shopper! Not any more
I purchased these in green and they are super cute! After reading the reviews I went for the size 7.5. I can wear a size 7.5-8 depending on the brand. They are still a touch big and easily could have gone with a 7 but they are sold out of the green now. I still love them and can’t wait to wear them.
Got my typical size 6 and they were too big. Also the green color has faint pink stripes. I thought they were white when I ordered. The issue I have with the pink is that it looks like you threw the white shoes into the laundry with a red sweater. It’s just looks like a mistake. Returning.
