adidas Originals Men's Stan Smith Sneaker

Comment

I have written this same review for many, many years. I stopped playing tennis in 1985 but continued to wear these for street wear, especially on my vacations to South America. I used to put on a new pair before going to the airport to board my departing flight. They were always so comfortable but one year my size 14W was too tight and they hurt my feet the entire month I was away. Since then Ive communicated with Adidas many times but theyre never resolved the problem. I have a new pair in the garage now that I wore once or twice. Eventually Ill donate them to charity like I did with all the others. If an Adidas factory representative reads this, Id pay my way to the factory to have a pair made that would fit me. Oh, by the way, There was an article in Tennis Magazine about Stan Smith and he said these shoes are great for street wear but he would not recommend then for actually playing tennis as they dont provide adequate support. I was surprised to learn this as I used to wear them all the time when I played tennis.

To start off I was excited to find these particular shoes in ALL white. My husband had been searching for these exact shoes in all white but kept finding them with added color. So when I found these I was excited to purchase and surprise my husband. I purchased them and received them on time, however, I made the mistake of not opening them first before giving them to my husband, I figured I would save the time of gift wrapping and leave it in the original packaging for him to open. So my husband opened the package to what looked like a box that had been smashed and kicked around a few times ( yes it was original and no the damage didnt happened while being shipped because it was taped up to before they shipped). The original addidas paper was in the box but along with that was a few strands of someones hair (pretty gross) intertwined in the shoes/paper. Both shoes were laced by someone (not the standard "new shoe" lace up), both shoes had creases in the toe are as they had been worn (or tried on quite a few times) and then there was a black scuff across one of the addidas logos on one shoe. So needless to say I WILL NOT be ordering from this seller again, product was a described and delivered on time but not in what I would consider "new" condition. Had I been ordering these for myself I dont think I would of wasted the time to leave a review but I bought and gave these as a gift and felt pretty embarresed when my husband opened these and found them in this condition. In conclusion: Yes, he kept them simply because he was thankful for the gift and didnt want me to hassle with sending them back. No, I would not order from this seller again.

Okay, sizing reviews are ALL over the place for these. Its really hard to know what you should order, so Ill just tell you what worked for me. I normally wear a Womens size 9 in almost everything, which is a Mens size 7. Since I read (in many, many reviews) that these were Mens sizing, but also that they ran a bit small, I went for a 7.5 Mens. Thank goodness, it worked! I was spot on about the sizing! Ive never before ordered a larger Mens size, so this really is just an issue with these shoes. My foot is pretty much the exact measurement of a size 9 Womens foot. So, yes, these appear to be Mens sizing (sometimes theyre labeled Unisex), but they also appear to run small in those Mens sizes. Theyre comfortable, but did require two wearings to fully get them softened up. No shoe should have to be broken in (if they hurt, they dont fit you), so this really was just a case of softening up the leather and the laces.

These shoes were not purchased directly from Adidas. I have purchased three pair of Stan Smith directly from Adidas. My size was not available at Adidas at the time I ordered this pair from another vendor. These shoes were designed slightly different, the toe box was more pointed than the Adidas I have owned or currently own. The size was the same but these shoes were tighter than Stan Smith shoes purchased directly from Adidas.
