Gazelle Sneaker

I loved everything about the shoe but then there is the tongue... It's cheap, feels like cardboard and is strangely long. I thought about cutting it to a normal length but decided that they just really needed to go back. Returned them. Giving it two stars to be nice.

Good looking sneakers! Very comfortable and light. Lighter than I remember them being in the 90s. I have heels and ankles on the narrower side. I take the lace through the top two holes like I do my running shoes prior to tying them to keep them from being as loose in the heel. Please see the photo.

I loved everything about these shoes EXCEPT the white tongue. The tongue of these shoes feels cheap, like paper thin foam or something. I don't understand why Adidas would ruin such a great shoe with this cheap tongue. They do run large. I normally wear a size 9 and purchased an 8 1/2. I purchased the grey/white/gold combo as the light grey color is very pretty. I saw someone wearing it at the local mall and ordered them online. I would keep these if it weren't for that tongue. I feel that it will not hold up over time. I guess Adidas shoes just don't work for me as I have tried Stan Smith, Allstars, and Gazelle to no avail (the other two models ran odd in sizing and I could not find a size that would not slip off my heels).

The sizing on these shoes is insanely confusing. Numerous reviews say to size down, they say they’re unisex sizing so only size down if you’re wanting women sizing, they say the women’s gazelles are true to size, then they say they run small 🤣 the fact is these run MASSIVE. These are women’s shoes, labeled women’s, sold in women’s section. Yet they are not women’s sizing. I am normally a 7.5-8 in all shoes, 38.5 or 39EU. I typically wear a 7 in adidas since they do run big on me. I could really use a 7.25, 7.5 is just too big and slides on my heel. For these they said to size down. Well my normal adidas size is 7, so I went with a 6. A size I NEVER wear in unisex, or men’s and definitely not in women. They fit. They’re snug but I think a 6.5 would be too big. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SIZE CORRECTLY AND CONSISTENTLY?! Isn’t it just based off of measurements? Something that can easily be dialed in. So annoying to try and order shoes online and stores never have any inventory of anything anyone wants.

The sizing runs big I usually wear 6 1/2 I got a 5 1/2 in this shoe. Very comfortable. I can wear it with anything.. love them

I absolutely loved the look and feel of these sneakers. They are so cute! What the buyer should be weary of is that they have incredibly high arch support, so if you don't have high arches they are quite uncomfortable.
