Gazelle Indoor Sneaker (Women)

These are hands down the most uncomfortable shoes I have worn in a very long time. These shoes have no cushion or support, which made wearing for ten minutes around my house painful. Also, the tongue feels like plastic and poked into my ankles and left red marks.. just from wearing around my house. I’m confused as to why these shoes have so much hype. The colors are cute, but I suspect the suede texture won’t look good with frequent wear. I’m returning these.

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 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.
