adidas Women's Gazelle Bold

NOT WORTH the pain

I really wanted to love these shoes because they look great and I received a lot of compliments, but unfortunately, they’re some of the most uncomfortable sneakers I’ve ever worn. The top of the shoe rubbed my foot raw within just one wear — the tongue material is stiff and unforgiving; feels like it’s made of hard plastic rather than soft leather or fabric, which digs into the top of your foot and makes them painful to walk in. I’ve worn and own several pairs of Adidas shoes before and never had this issue, but the Gazelle Indoor design is a huge miss for comfort. Definitely NOT WORTH the pain.

Cute but bad blsiters

I ordered the big kids size 7 Gazelle. indoor sneaker, in purple with pink stripes. They are just adorable, although a little big so that my heels slip. Wore them for just a mile, and the blisters on my heels are still scabs after a month. I have not been able to wear any shoes with backs yet. I am bummed had planned for these to be the only pair of shoes to wear to Europe. Hope I can correct the fit with heel pads. I love to walk and at 73 love cute shoes.

Ok so the color in person is just like the photo shown by Nord but I feel like no one posts photos (which I want to see when I look at reviews) so I’ve attached 2. Color is fabulous! Spot on. Now sizing… Addidas are wonky in that usually you need to size down but for these I feel like they’re very close to true to size if not very slightly smaller than tts. My left foot is larger than my right and I’d say my left is a 10.5 to 11 and my right is a 10. I buy almost all my shoes in an 11 post having children as they grew. I purchased these in a 10.5 and 11. I’ve only received the 10.5 so far but my left foot slightly touched the front of the shoe in 10.5 but my right foot fits perfectly. I feel the 11 will be better for my left foot but too large for my right. If you’re able to do a half size down I think you’ll be fine but I don’t feel you need a full size down. Also I have wide feet and these feel very generously wide. If you have a narrow foot it may not be your favorite. So overall buy your regular size (first choice imo) or if Addidas usually run big for you a half size down but NOT a full size down. The gazelle fit seems to be slightly smaller to me than the handball spezial.

Great shoe arrived in poor condition.

These are fun, soft, great colors and were purchased as a gift. I would recommend if you could be sure you weren’t being sent a used pair. They arrived loose, unwrapped, with no receipt and nothing but them and nothing in the shoes, no tags, stains on toes, on bottom of one shoe, a shoelace with a thread pull. Obviously worn but charged full price and sent with zero care or quality control.

Poor quality control

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.

Glorious in Green

These are so comfortable and perfect for walking. I do use a medium rubber insole that breathes well. Just my prerogative since I always use one in my shoes. I recommend these if you have narrow feet. I’m surprised they are comfortable since I usually wear Dr Martens. The suede is very warm and perfect for the cold weather. They have a good grip on cement. Great trainer !

shoes are okay. I went a full size down.

Shoes are okay, but buyers beware. Nordstrom replaced the box with a plain white box. If I’m buying an Adidas product at this price point, a Nordies box doesn’t cut it, especially with all of the counterfeits out there. Shame on you Nordstrom. Having the box is part of the value, especially if I want to resell them when I’m tired of them. I’d appreciate your sending me the correct box for these shoes.
