5.0 out of 5 stars Rod Lavers
Great shoe that fits nicely. It matches the size that it is supposed to be (at least for size 12). I have no problems with this shoe and wear it everyday; this is my third pair as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Are Those Soles Made Of?
The soles are actually slippery. More like plastic than rubber. Fails the most basic of tests for a sneaker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iconic, March 10, 2009
This review is from: adidas Originals Men's Rod Laver Tennis Shoe (Shoes)
30 years ago the Rod Laver tennis shoe was the shoe to have. It was ahead of its time much like the Nike Aggasi's were in the late 80's. Funny how shoes have evolved, with air in the soles, and tire rubber for the soles, etc and the cost is over $100. Yet the Rod Laver has not changed it is still the same shoe it was 30 years ago, much like you ask how could you play tennis with a wooden racket how could you wear these on the court?

The shoe runs true to size and is wider than Nikes. It breathes well thanks to the mesh upper. It is a very comfortable and stylish shoe. It may not be the best for court but you can not beat this as a weekend casual shoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Iconic Sneak, October 4, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the third pair of Lavers I've had over an 8 year span. I wouldn't recommend wearing them for tennis or any other sport, but rather just to kick around in. This is a classic design that transcends time. I find the fit to be true to size. You can dress up or down in them, because they're that versatile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good shoes, August 3, 2008
They are a very good shoes, but the size runs smaller than the other brands.
Think of that when you are shopping.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stiff and tight, October 10, 2010
By 
Guy Pellitteri (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
These shoes look great but offer little in the way of comfort for the price. Very little padding and a snug fit, rough edges inside the shoe. I've gotten my share of blisters trying to break them in. I bought my usual size and they are a very snug fit, you may need to order 1/2 to a full size larger in these

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfy, not long lasting...., May 17, 2010
The shoes were great and very comfortable. Good on the court and amazing for everyday use. But after only a few months of use the part of the shoe that should be covering my left toe is completely exposed. These aren't the most durable pair of shoes you could get....

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Classic Shoe, May 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: adidas Originals Men's Rod Laver Tennis Shoe (Shoes)
I was looking for a good tennis shoe. I thought I would search on classic tennis shoes and found these. I used to use these tennis shoes in the 80's when I played HS tennis and liked them, so I ordered a pair. When they arrived, it was like a reunion of old friends. They felt great and very comfortable out of the box. They fit surprising well because of my wide feet. They had no (or very little) breakin. They were great on the court (hard court). After a couple of months of use, the only ding (and reason for 3 stars) is that soles haven't lasted as long as I hoped. The toe drag area has pretty much worn complete through.

They fit well, look nice, and are comfortable! Can't ask for anything more than that! Came packaged appropriately and looks just like the product description.
