Adidas Tobacco Gruen Sizing Guide: Do They Run True to Size?

The Tobacco Gruen is a low-key suede terrace gem — so: does the Tobacco Gruen run true to size?

We sell adidas at West Coast Deals; here's the read.

Does the Tobacco Gruen run true to size? The short answer

Yes — true to size. It's a comfortable, easygoing fit rather than a tight one, with a flexible suede upper and a cushioned gum sole.

How it fits

I wear a US 11 with a wider foot, and true to size was relaxed and comfortable — this isn't a narrow, locked-down shoe like a Samba, it's more forgiving and light on the foot. Most people, mine included, can order their normal size. If you have especially wide feet, half a size up is a safe trial as with most suede terrace shoes, but it's not usually necessary.

What it is

The Tobacco Gruen is a '70s-rooted suede terrace and lifestyle trainer on a gum sole ("Gruen" refers to the green edition). It's a relaxed, vintage-leaning everyday shoe.

Final verdict

True to size with a comfortable, relaxed fit — order your normal size. The Tobacco Gruen is between drops for us right now; the adidas Originals collection is where the rest of the suede terrace shoes live, and our adidas vs adidas Originals spotlight has the background.
