adidas Originals Men's Gazelle Shoe

Comment: I purchased my first pair of Adidas Gazelles back in 1990 during my senior year in high school because that is what cool soccer players did. They were kelly green which caused many people to stare at my feet. Basically only soccer players wore Gazelles in those days, and they were always black, blue or red. I got my second pair of Adidas Gazelles during my college years at Purdue. They were magenta (hot pink) which really caused a lot of people to turn their heads. I obviously thought I became cooler in college. I am currently on my third pair of Gazelles and have gone with a more conservative color - navy blue. I'm not as cool as I once was. Since my Gazelles are several years old, the color has faded some and the tread is really worn, but fortunately the comfort factor isn't gone. Regardless of your lifestyle and color of choice, the Gazelles are a very comfortable, durable and good looking shoe.

Comment: Great shoes. Only gripe; the total shipping cost for my order to Australia cost more than the goods!

Comment: There wasn't much mystery when I bought these since they were to replace my boyfriends worn out pair. They were in perfect condition, the best price I could find, the right size arrived and was shipped quickly. What more can you ask for? This is where I'll buy the next pair when these are worn out.

Comment: The adidas Gazelle is one of those shoes you buy for a weekend afternoon to wear along with your softest jeans and most comfortable shirt. They look really nice in person, and offer a bit more arch support (and heel height) than many other "old school" retro shoes - but are still a low heeled shoe when compared to modern running and basketball shoes. Insoles are non-removable, so you can't upgrade the fit.

These are slightly narrow and slightly long for their given size. The extra length appears to be due to the rounded shape of the toe box - from experience these will just be a hair long - but not like a well known popular canvas retro shoe where you need to fall back in size.

Overall I'd buy another pair without hesitation, and recommend them to a friend.

Comment: These are my favorite pair of shoes, and I keep buying more just because I think they are so great! They wear very well, hold up great over time, and look great with almost anything! I gotta have my adidas!
