Sizing on Adidas Gazelles

14 replies

MrsFTigalar · 09/04/2018 21:05

Can anyone help with this please? I'm dithering over a grey pair but can't face dragging the toddler shopping. I wear a 4 in Superga or Converse, or a 5 in shoes/ boots usually.

I'm after something comfy that'll go with most jeans etc as I hare after said toddler. I'm pregnant too, hence the need for comfort.

You're going to tell me to try them on aren't you?

I usually wear 5 and am 5 in these, they are quite wide though, I can't wear converse or superga as I find them too narrow but gazelles are fine on me.

Agree they're nice and wide.

I normally take a 5.5 (EUR39) in shoes/trainers (and a 5.5 in superga FYI), but a 6 (EUR 39 1/3) in gazelles.

I think this is because Adidas size women's the same as men's, and men's shoes are vanity sized in other places [who would have guessed]. And some other weirdness about EU sizing measurements. Anyway.

I'm a size 5 in shoes and recently bought grey gazelles myself - got a size 5 and happy with the fit! They're probably the same ones you're thinking of

RJnomore1 · 09/04/2018 22:03

I find them true to size (7) but narrow. They're definitely not wide!

NKFell · 09/04/2018 22:07

Ooh I just got some new grey ones! I’m a size 6, bought w size 6 and found they were quite wide tbh but super comfy.

Wh0Kn0wsWhereTheT1meG0es · 09/04/2018 22:33

I'd say they are true to size against normal shoes and boots and definitely wide (they need to be for my feet). Lovely supportive arches too.

ChishandFips33 · 09/04/2018 22:40

True to size but narrow here too - I wear a 5.5 in Gazelles

Superstars are a little more generous in length, width and sole thickness (so find them more comfortable) - I have a 5 and a 6 and the 5 is about right - 6 is a bit sloppy but were a bargain so overlooked this 🙈

Haven't tried Superga or Converse so can't compare

DaisyRenton18 · 09/04/2018 22:48

I vary between 4 and 5, and have a 5 in Gazelles as they didn't have the colour I wanted in 4.5, and found them fine (a little wide).

McDougal · 09/04/2018 22:54

I'm really surprised at those saying they size up for gazelles as I find Adidas to be huge, and I have quite wide feet.

I size down half a size...which also allows me to pay kids prices

Ellapaella · 10/04/2018 08:03

Strange, I have wide feet and have never been able to squeeze into Gazelles.

pigpoglet · 10/04/2018 08:08

I think they are big , I normally wear a 5 in trainers but got these in 4.5 . Half sizes available on the Adidas website.

IjustbelieveinMe · 10/04/2018 12:21

off topic - kind of.
I love my gazelles (green and grey) but don't like how the 'tongue' moves to the side, does anyone else has this problem?

IsDaveThere · 10/04/2018 12:41

I agree they are definitely not wide!! I have wide feet and bought myself a pair, they cripple me and I think I'm going to have to put them on eBay :-(

hownowpowpow · 10/04/2018 12:42

I am a size 4 and bought gazelles in a size 3 and find they are a bit too big. Bought black ones but they look really navy in daylight and it drives me a small bit mad
