Beautiful, comfortable, soft, stylish and versatile shoe. I like two different colors that were very hard to get as they were always sold out until one lucky day I found them, so I took a chance with the available sizes 7 and 7.5 (I am a size 7.5). It was interesting to find out that both sizes fit me, there is only a minimal difference in width. I prefer the look of the shoe in size 7 as it fits closer to the feet, while the shoe in my size 7.5 it is a little bit roomier on the toe area, nevertheless, I can go with either size, that is works for me as I got the colors I loved. Very happy about that. After reading reviews, I was concerned about the shoes running big, but I can say it runs true to size to me, even that half size down it works like a charm as well. ... MoreBeautiful, comfortable, soft, stylish and versatile shoe.

Good to have options on a show with such a high demand. I wear the size 7.5 for a whole day walking out and about, no need to break in, minimal issue with the tongue touching the skin, but I adjusted the socks, then no issue. I wouldn't go down a full size to a size 6.5 because the shoes would be touching my toes and very uncomfortable.

I found these by accident. The blue/pink combo was love at first site. I ordered a 9 because I am 8.5-9 in most shoes. They were HUGE. Enough so, that I painfully had to return them. I got lucky. An 8.5 became available. With a thicker sock, its all good. I am not flopping around. I loved these so much that I ordered the pink/orange in an 8. They are perfection. Even the shoe laces are pink. Yes, the tongue to this shoe is weird. Its plasticish. However, the colors are just beautiful. If you can find a pair in your size and they fit right......and I am writing a review, and I never do. haha.

This is the second time I’ve bought a colorway of the Gazelle Indoor from Nordstrom because I couldn’t find it anywhere else (StockX’s fees are ridiculous). The last time the box was slightly damaged and there were things missing from the inside (ie tissue paper, extra set of laces). This time the box looked like Ace Ventura kicked it down a hallway. I asked the rep to check out the shoes before I take them home. So glad I did this time. There were long blonde hairs all over the right shoe and no tissue in one of the shoes. Idk if this colorway comes with spare laces but there was none in the box. It’s a shame because the shade of purple (shadow fig) would have been perfect for fall.

I bought the bright blue with the hot pink stripe to wear with my outfit to the Madonna concert, which is tomorrow. I ordered a half size down from my normal size. They are still big. Nordstrom doesn't have a 6.5 in stock in this color. I will keep them because I feel like I can tie them tight enough that the extra room won't bother me. In Sambas, I have my normal size. Most people say to size down in those. I think the Sambas are a tad large, but not enough to size down. These Gazelles are definitely a full size large though. Hope this helps with sizing! Of course they are cute!
Adorable shoes but uncomfortable unless you alter the insole and arch. You can take them out and put in an insert. The arch hits at an uncomfortable spot but you can remove it. The tongue is made of a synthetic material that rubs and squeaks loudly with every movement. BUT I know how to get rid of the squeak!! Just stick something along the inside of the shoe sides, on either side of where the tongue rubs, such as the soft velcro side tape or even glue a layer of suede. It wont show inside your shoe and the squeak disappears. Voila, adorable shoes!
I had to order this twice because the first pair I received looked used. What’s disappointing is the 2nd pair came in worse condition with no original box or tags. The shoelaces have pilling and there’s crease marks on the shoe. If they’re going to sell returns or displays they should at least discount it or make it known to buyers. I want a new pair of shoes!! It should have arrived new with the original packaging. Side note for anyone purchasing this shoe runs large. I am usually a 6 and sized down to a 5.5.
I was so excited about my purchase until I received the shoes. The tongue is a stiff plastic material, the insoles are like cardboard and popped out when I took stuffing out of shoe, the fabric is stiff and makes noise when I walk, and the sizing is off. I'm a true 8, wear 8 in almost all shoes, but in these the 7.5 fit best. But they were still awkwardly long on my foot. Maybe the leather version is better, but this cloth with suede was cheap and not at all a true Gazelle. Maybe they're making a cheaper version now that they're so popular? Who knows but definitely not a $100 shoe.
Size down a half size. I'm a true size 10 and ended up with a 9.5. I purchased a 9 first but it was just too narrow to ignore and was killing my toes trying to break them in to loosen them up. I can take a 9 in the other gazelle pastel color group. So weird! But the lucid blue color definitely runs shorter/narrow. Best trick is to find out what your Euro size is and use that as a guide. The gazelle bold I take a US 9.5 but the euro size matches up with my Nike court's euro size and I have those in a US 10. (So gazelle bold 9.5 actually fits like my true size 10 based off euro size)
Reviews dated 1/4/24 & 2/9/24 are spot on. Nubby suede is of inferior quality. And what’s with the plastic-stiff cardboard like tongue?!?! While I appreciate a creative turn to design something different by adding an element of texture, why does it have to be at the expense of comfort? Seriously, the material looks and feels like a cheap child’s toy from the dollar store. If you look at the dates and pictures of reviews posted here I believe they cover all Gazelles past and present. I purchased the new current color way which is a coral and pink combo. On the hunt for a bright springtime pink instead of a dusty rose that everyone is doing/wearing (snooze) I was excited to find these. In person it is a coral pink with pink laces and the iconic 3 stripes. Yes, like ... MoreReviews dated 1/4/24 & 2/9/24 are spot on. Nubby suede is of inferior quality.

In person it is a coral pink with pink laces and the iconic 3 stripes. Yes, like most reviewers mentioned it runs a 1/2 to full size larger in length. It also has a “slight” arch support-definitely more like a flat skater sneaker. Yep, it’s more of a “cute” sneaker - not form AND function. Why can’t we have all three? I’ll spend a little more and stick to my Tiger’s. These are going back ASAP.
I've worn adidas gazelle for over 20 years. Nordstrom recommended sizing up and, knowing adidas tend to run small, I went up half a size (to 9.5). The shoes are huge! Even more disappointing (and why I won't reorder): the quality is inferior to previous versions of the gazelle: the tongue is some kind of perforated plastic, stiff and inflexible and ugly. Also, the color looked to be a peachy-pink on the website. Instead, it was kind of like the old "flesh" crayon. Not a good look. Back they go!
