Perfect neutral shoes!

So pretty in person! And I like how it has arch support, not completely flat. However, these are NOT TRUE TO SIZE. I am a true size 6 women's or 23cm, I even measured before I ordered. I'm glad I ordered two different sizes, 5 and 5.5 before they sold out so quickly. I was hesitant to get the size 5 initially but thank goodness I did because it's the right size for me, and still have room to wear thick socks, yet comfy to wear no-show thin socks due to my narrow-width feet. The size 5.5 seems like a women's 6.5-7, or even 7.5 depending on foot width. Overall, it's a beautiful addition to anyone's wardrobe!

The Wonder Silver was the only size I could find that might work for me, and I'm glad I took a chance. The color is 'almost'/slightly a bluish tone of light gray. With the off-white stripes and laces, the combo is very pretty! Neutral without being boring. Feminine even. Sizing is huge. My foot is a pretty solid 7 in most brands and shoe styles, and I went with a 6. I can probably get away with a 5.5, but can wear thin socks with the 6 so I'll keep them. I have a wide forefoot too, didn't matter, they are still incredibly comfortable! Cushioned and has some arch support. I want every color.

This shoe is a perfect addition to your casual attire, or to your walking shoe collection. The fit is more comfortable than the gazelle shoe.
The only complaint I have thus far is that the ankle hole seems a bit big and I even have larger ankles from decades of weightlifting and running. So, it flexes a lot around the ankle leaving loose gaps as you walk. I think the solution is for Adidas to just add one more set of shoelace holes near the opening.
I’ll try them out for my tennis routine (although they aren’t advertised as a “tennis” shoe) I think they’ll be great for that as well.

I was attracted to the Spezial shoe when I saw it styled on a fashion influencer I follow. I was bummed to find out that these never go on sale but it can see it is for good reason - these are classic sneakers and I don’t see them going out of style. I was looking specifically for a neutral color and this fit the bill. I had to act quick because I have small feet (5 to 6, depending) and usually never usually available in the color I want. When I got them and saw them in person, I fell in love! I’m so happy with my purchase! I’ll probably get another pair when the right color comes along!

So cute

I always wear a women’s 9. I ordered an 8 in these after reading reviews. In other sneakers I own, I wear a 40.5, the 8 in these shoes is listed as a 40. I was nervous they were going to be too small but they’re perfect. I have a normal to narrow foot, so maybe if your foot is wide, only size down half a size. Otherwise, I’d size down an entire size.
The color is so cute and matched the photo pretty perfectly! I have bad feet and have to have arch support, and these have that. I’m so excited to wear these and see how they feel after a full day of wear.

Red Pink combo I was waiting for a while…

I’ma size 7 in Adidas Samba and Gazelle. Got this one in size 7, the fit is comfortable still having some room, but I can wear all kind of socks and my toes doesn’t touch the front of the shoe. I’m 7.5 in most shoes. Maybe I could go with 6.5 too. Colors are mute and nice, except the unrefined looking orange red tone of the leather inside the shoe inner padding and tongue. Comfortable and soft as wearing slippers, and perfect pop of color combo. It is like a Samba and Gazelle design put together, lacking one star because of the color tone choice for the inner padding looking and tongue looking like plastic instead of leather and similar color like a transit cone, but fortunately is not so visible. Love the two sets of laces, and everything else.

Agreed that Adidas needs to update their sizing on the Spezials. Felt pretty confident ordering half a size down like I usually do for Adidas but I was swimming in them. Had to check the app continuously to catch the next size down, but that ended up being too big as well. Managed to order the next smallest and that one ended up too snug. Unfortunately couldn’t make it work with this style so I ended up ordering Sambas.
Just a heads up, there is significant arch support in the Spezials, too much for me and a better fit in the Sambas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd been waiting for this colourway for ages. I absolutely love the red and pink together and the extra red laces are a nice bonus.
One of the insoles had a slightly high instep due to poor workmanship so I replaced the insole with one I purchased (the previous purchaser who had returned the shoe had tried to remove the original insole so it was obviously an issue). No other issues with the shoe itself. If you don't like high in-steps, don't be put off - the insoles are easy to replace with ones that suit your foot shape.
I ordered a 6 and 5.5 as I am sometimes inbetween sizes. The 5.5 were perfect for my slim feet, with a decent length.
I wore the shoes immediately on a trip away to Spain. Lots and lots and lots of walking and they were comfortable for every step I took over 4 days.
