I am really disappointed with these shoes. The tongue is very sharp against my ankles. I’ve had to wear the shoes with the laces very loose to make them wearable. I don’t 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 don’t come close.

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 didn’t find that at all. Many of the Adidas shoes come in unisex (men’s) 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.
