| SoccerRulz's Full Review: Adidas Gazelle |
I have had the adidas Gazelle's before now and although they are nice shoes for casual wear they don't have enough support, durability, protection or grip to do you any good in a game. When somebody steps on your foot the shoes thin leather does absolutely no good. When I played with these shoes I had bruises all over my feet from peoples heels. As far as support goes when I wear them I feel insecure because of how it feels like I am running in bear feet. There is very little arch support so when you shoot you can feel the low quality. Again in several games I would be running and I would roll my ankle very easily because of how low the support was. As far as the durability goes some occasional street wear and 10 games of soccer makes these shoes look like road kill. No maybe worse than road kill. Basically the durability is horrible. Lastly the grip. When running you are probably going to slip up and fall once or twice. I HATED this part about the shoes most because whenever I tried to dribble and do a move I would slip and fall. Another negative about these shoes is that if they are wet the ink will seep through onto your socks changing the color of your socks from white to blue. These are definitely not the shoes people today should buy they may have been good several years ago but they don't do nearly as good as the new samba millenium's of today do.
