Sizing on these shoes runs a full size bigger; you will likely need to order one size down than your normal size. I typically wear a women's size 8 but with this shoe/style, it was a size 7 that fit right. I read in a few reviews to try sizing down a full size but I was skeptical.

What does adidas stand for? The name adidas came from the founder, Adolf “Adi” Dassler's name. He used his nickname, Adi, and the first three letters of his last name, Das, to create adidas.

Adidas sizing is generally true to size. The label themselves advise that for a more loose feel, you should go up a size or, for a more snug fit, try a size smaller. These are, after all, relaxed sports-oriented pieces that need to fit your particular lifestyle.

Since Horst Dassler, the son of Adolf Dassler, passed away in 1987, adidas was sold and is no longer family-owned. Instead, Adidas is now owned by Adidas AG, a multinational corporate group owned by several shareholders.
