A Timeless Classic
Arguably the most recognizable and beloved Adidas silhouette in the entire product stack with a long and storied history. Starting out as an actual tennis shoe in its inception in the mid 1960s to now present day being a staple lifestyle sneaker for the masses.The Stan Smith itself is just a very solid sneaker that is super versatile especially the all-white edition. Although the OG colorway with the green accents is iconic, and you can't go wrong with that one. You can dress this shoe up quite a bit but also just wear it down as well. It can be worn with countless fits and can either enhance a look or just compliment it. Some would argue that as the shoe ages and gets some "mileage" on it that looks even better. Although if your pair is starting to look particularly crusty you may want to take some time to clean them up a bit and wash the laces.As far as the comfort itself it is solid, definitely not like having boost but for a lifestyle sneaker it's good enough. The fitment is also true-to-size so whatever your normal size is with sneakers or adidas shoes in general go with that. The value of the Stan Smith is pretty decent, even more so if you can get this on sale/marked down from MSRP. It's just one of those staples I think everyone should have in their rotation regardless of your age. These have long stood the test of time for nearly 60 years and I can see them still being relevant for another 60 down the road (Assuming the quality and build of these don't rapidly decline over the years on Adidas' end).

No Fush Shoe at Good Price
I recently purchased my second pair of these basic white Adidas shoes, having been quite satisfied with my first pair. In terms of pricing and durability for day-to-day use, I would confidently rate them a solid 5/5. While they may not be the most extraordinary shoes on the market, their value for money is hard to beat, especially for a brand like Adidas.My experience with the first pair was quite positive, particularly after I applied a waterproofing spray. This extra step proved to be very beneficial, as it noticeably extended the cleanliness and overall look of the shoes. The waterproofing seemed to provide an additional layer of protection, keeping them pristine for much longer than I had anticipated.However, with the second pair, I decided not to apply the waterproofing spray. The difference was pretty apparent. They got noticeably scuffed after just the first wear, which makes me thing that the waterproofing somehow benefited the first pair.Overall, for anyone looking for a basic, affordable, and reliable pair of white sneakers, these Adidas shoes are definitely worth considering, especially if you're willing to put in a little work and spray them down with some waterproofing spray. Also, I after a few wears, I throw them in the wash (air dry) and they come out looking pretty good!

Exactly what you are not supposed to do
I was leaving for a vacation to Italy and I was going to be gone for three weeks. I needed a comfortable sneaker that would look good and be comfortable for long days on my feet. I had a pair of these back in the 1980's I thought I remembered them as being comfortable -----but I'm in my 50's now. Is my memory to be trusted??? I'm back from my trip and I can tell you I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Buying shoes without trying them on is something I'd usually avoid doing but I was under a time crunch. Thank you prime. Wearing brand new shoes that were not broken in--big mistake, right? Not so with these puppies, they were instantly comfortable and fit great. bonus points these are trendy shoes in Italy where people are very well dressed so I felt comfortable where ever I wore them. Great fit and comfort when I wore them with socks, no shows, or barefoot. Well made and not showing any wear after a lot of miles. Easy to wipe clean and keep looking white and new. This is a classic shoe for a reason and Adidas is a world respected brand for good reason too. Reasonable price, true to size, well made, classic.

Love the style
Love the style of these shoes, fits true and leather is holding up well after several months of daily use. My only two complaints about this shoe is that after standing or walking for more that 2-3 hours the sole comfort disappears and that the tongue constantly slides to the side.

I'm buying these again
I have owned my Stan Smith's for over 15 months. I wear them casually in my home office and light activities. After several months, I started wearing them during projects wondering how easily they clean. I've done plenty of wipe-downs and added conditioner so they wouldn't crack. I've put them through quite a few rigorous tasks and have always impressed me with how easy they are to clean.Comfort - excellent. I was surprised that the insole lasted me close to one-year before replacing them, I wish there was an aftermarket to purchase the adidas insoles. Don't let the thinness fool you, it's like walking on a cloud. Also, they break in rather quickly and form to your foot in a very short period of time. It took me up until now to realize the heel underneath the insole started to split and I should get a new pair before hurting my backQuality - shoe construction is excellent. However, the laces don't hold on a regular single knot after 3 months. I wish they wouldn't slip so quickly. The eyelets will eventually wear and I consider it normal for lacings & re-lacings.Cost - excellent for the price point. My previous shoes were the Adidas Grand Court models, they were about the same price point at original purchase. I like these better since the Grand Court stitching split from the rubber sole and leather upper within 8 months.The pictures I've included are for what the wear is like at the end of its life. I don't have the original insoles anymore. I'm about 5'11", 210lbs.
