| I wasn't sure I'd like these shoes, but I really do. Very comfortable. They do not run small, despite what some reviews say. I think they are true to size. They have very squishy, comfy soles. And, they look stylish, classic. I'm very pleased with them. They also happen to be the quietest shoes I've ever worn. Laugh if you must, but I'm serious. I've had lots of athletic shoes that "clop" because the soles are hard. These seem to be silent to me. So far no squeaking on linoleum either. These shoes might be very good for ninjas if they came in all black. My only complaint is that they are very low-top shoes. I'm used to New Balance cross trainers and such. These don't lace up as high and, to me, feel loose in the heel. I haven't gotten blisters despite walking a lot in them. So, make of that what you will. | |

| Finally Got 'Em - I have loved this style from afar since I was a little kid. Somehow the kid still in me rebelled against my now adult self and I finally bought these shoes and I am loving them! Practically speaking, a lightweight, white and flat soled tennis shoe does not fit in my life of gardening, working outside every day and having to wear orthotics all the time. However, I decided I only have one life and I had to have them. Surprisingly, they are so much more comfortable than I thought they'd be! Indeed they are not very supportive, but the lightweight foam sole is pretty cushiony and I don't stress out the bunions I'm always trying to cradle with orthotics. The sole is a bit stiff and I'm still breaking them in. They're slippery like others have said. But the style is what it's all about with this shoe. | |

| I love Rod Lavers! They are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned. This is my second pair and I recently bought a pair for my husband because he got tired of me talking about how great they were and wanted to find out for himself! He loves them too and wears them every day! I wait tables and am often on my feet for over 8 hours straight; my feet never hurt after a shift! They form to your foot and the arch support increases as they break in. The way the shoes have so many laces holes allows you to adjust them to fit your foot perfectly. I would and do recommend them to everyone! | |

| I hate shopping. I tried these shoes on in a size 9.5 in a local store. I needed a ten but they were not available in that size so I ordered them from Zappos.com. They fit very well. They are great shoes. I would say think about buying a half size larger than you normally wear - at least that was the case for myself. They offer a good deal of support. They're lightweight. And they're nice looking. All in all, a good shoe. I am giving them an overall 4-star review. I figure for five stars they would have to lace themselves on my feet. | |

| I love these shoes. They're definitely the best Adidas shoes ever made. They're comfortable and attractive and they go with just about anything. Foot baggers love these even more than I do. I've heard rumors that Adidas may discontinue this model...please don't! I had my last pair for well over a year and wore them just about every day and they're still in great shape. I liked them so much I got another pair. You just need to wash them every few months or so to keep them white and fresh. Great shoes! | |

| Great comfort without all the bells and whistles - I love these sneakers. They are like what I used to wear. It's so hard to find this type of thing now. Comfy, simple, basic white that looks great with everything. So many sneakers have too much now - and so many colors I get dizzy. If you're looking for something to just walk in, play tennis, go shopping – whatever. These are great! If you want to run a marathon - THEN go get the fancy jogging sneaks! | |

| My husband who is now 32 years old had wanted a pair of Rod Lavers since he was in the 6th grade. He purchased a pair a few years ago and wears them everywhere. They are so filthy now, I had to get him a replacement pair as an anniversary gift. He loved them. I just hope he keeps this second pair clean for "special" occasions. He has nothing negative to say about them. They're his faves! I'm glad Zappos was there to replace them. | |

| I was leery of ordering men's shoes and alarmed when they arrived and looked huge, compared to a women's pair I had in a similar style, but they fit beautifully when worn with lightweight athletic socks. Women's size 7 really is men's size 5.5, for my feet and these shoes, just as the Zappos guide indicated. Very much pleased with these shoes, which I ordered on Friday of the holiday weekend and which arrived Monday. | |

| Awesome! You can’t go wrong with these. Look good, feel good. Light weight. They do get dirty easily, but hey, they are white. I work on my feet all day. I also have Dansko, Birkenstock. I wear the Rod Lavers 99% of the time they are so comfortable. Also I’ve had plantar fasciitis and it has gone away since I got these shoes (go figure?). I put some arch inserts in them too. | |

| It is a joy shopping shoes on Zappos! The selection is as big as it gets. I found exactly the tennis shoes, which couldn't be found in local stores. The merchandise is one thing, but the service is supreme! When Zappos says Customer Service, they really mean Customer Service! I have become a Zappos Maniac! | |

| A good looking shoe, but disappointed in that it does not give me enough support. Looks as though it would, but not when worn. In fact, liked the looks so much and since I was able to get my size, ordered two in different colors, but do think it is more for looks than good arch support. | |
