adidas Women's Gazelle Bold

Adore with tweaks

Am I addicted or a collector? :) This is my second pair of Gazelles, but my first with a platform. My fourth pair of Adidas. Adidas have become my favorite casual sneaker after years of wearing Vionics and assuming Adidas would not be comfortable or supportive enough. I have high arches, and I swap out the insoles for Vionic inserts to give them more arch support but I will say that the Gazelles have some built in arch support, just not quite enough for me. They run large so I have sized down a half size from a 9 to an 8.5 and they fit great and look great. The layered platform sole on these is so cute and the tones of tan and green will look super cute with lots of outfits. Adidas (Gazelles, Spezial, Sambas) have become my absolute favorite casual sneaker, and are so comfortable, and adorable to boot. I can walk in them all day, travel in them, dress them up or down. Love them.

Nice and trendy shoes

Shoes are exactly the same like on the pictures. I think the size is quite typical, I have 39 in other brands and here 39 and 1/3 also works. I give 4 stars out of 5 because right now they are slightly rubbing my left feet on the heel (this happens for me in most of the shoes so not a big deal) but in general they seem to be comfy and they look very nice. I love the beige and burgundy together, the design is very classy but I think with this sole is more outstanding. They will work with many outfits and I think with time they will be even more comfortable. I saw some comments that they made weird sounds but for me it's not the case, maybe for first few steps I heard them squeak but after 2 walks this sound is completely gone, and I don't think it's an issue. I recommend

Overall very happy

These shoes shipped sooner than expected (which I appreciated because I wanted them before I leave for a trip), they are extremely comfortable, true to size, and super cute!!! One thing about them to note: the material that the tongue is made out of is slick so they squeak a bit as you walk. I’ve seen people put baby powder or aquaphor on the tongue to quiet the squeaking which I will likely try myself. I found that after re-lacing the shoes and tying them securely, it limits the squeaking a ton. But if this is something that will bother you it’s worth considering before purchasing. Overall very happy with my purchase!

So cute and comfortable but I didn’t need to size down!!!

I love the Gazelle gold color! So beautiful for a tennis shoe! So I just received the shoes and they are so beautiful and comfortable BUT I’m a true 8.5 and so many people said to size down 1/2 size! The 8s are too small so back to return them and get my normal size! If you are normally in-between sizes on your true size then size down but if you are a true shoe size in everything you wear get your normal size! You need a little sock too alot of times and that needs to be considered in the equation as well if you size down.. I just reordered my original size and can’t wait to get them again!!!

Very Disappointed!

I love these shoes because they’re so cute and comfortable. But straight out of the box, they squeak so loud, you can hear me coming from a mile away. I wish I had gone with my gut and exchanged them immediately. I know several people who have these shoes that never had this problem, but had some people tell me to keep wearing them and the squeak should go away. Nope! That was certainly not the case. I’ve only worn them a handful of times because the sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard. People around me even complained. I had to stop wearing them. I’m so mad. I’m out 132 dollars and have a pair of shoes that I can never wear. I can’t even sell them because they’re defective. I have several pair of Adidas and have always been satisfied. I was unlucky with this purchase. Like I said, I truly wish I had exchanged them immediately. It’s been several months since the purchase and I don’t know if an exchange would even be possible? I’d be super happy with an exchange, if not for the same exact pair, something for equal value. I’m truly unhappy and very disappointed.

Stylish & Comfy

These shoes are so cute and comfortable. I absolutely love the platform shoe style and the shoe tongue is super unique as well. They are a bit squeaky but that seemed to improve once I tightened the laces and brought the laces all the way up. I bought my normal shoe size (size 8) but it looks like I still have about 1/2 inch of space left in the shoe. Otherwise, I totally recommend based off comfort and style.
