I've had a pair of the black Adidas Samoas since Feb. 2005 and they still rock. They were 80s retro to start so it's not like they're going out of style. I've walked all over Europe, Africa, and the US in them, and they've been good to me every day. Some people say I look like I'm getting ready to go bowling or ref a soccer game, but those people don't know what's cool (ha!).

Best old school kicks to date - I find that these are made much better than Puma or the retro Asics. Many retro sneakers have "no make" or support. While I wouldn’t run a marathon in these or use them at the gym they are very comfortable to wear to the office with Khakis, dress pants and Jeans. I wish they came in more colors. They are more comfortable than the samba and are very true to size.

Awesome - This is a great pair of shoes. Very comfortable and make my feet look smaller. Zappos even upgraded my shipping from standard to next day free of charge. :)

Retro Review - Service from Zappos is excellent as usual. Shoe seemed narrower than it did in the available pictures, although it has broken in nicely. Cushioning isn't very good and the insole is not removable for anyone using orthotics. I do, but since the insole is super thin with little cushioning at all, I wear the orthotic over the top and it doesn't cause any discomfort. The midsole offers very, very average cushioning. This shoe is stylish and goes well with denim or khaki type pants. Due to the long tongue, I wouldn't wear them with shorts. This isn't a shoe to wear to work, if the job requires you to be on your feet for 8 or more hours in a row because it offers very little support and cushioning, however, if this is a shoe you're wearing out and about and will spend more time sitting down than on your feet, give them a twirl.

It's what it claims - I would order from Zappos again. They live up to their claims. I was very pleased with my purchase and would do so again in the near future. Thanks to all the people who made my purchase a pleasure.

Very comfortable - Great shoes very comfortable. They fit like a glove and are true to size. I enjoy Adidas shoes and this is another pair I can add to my list. I have been wearing Adidas and other brands since I was about thirteen and I’m thirty now. Adidas is definitely at the top of my list when it comes to shoes.

Cool! I have had my eye on these sneakers for the longest time and am happy they finally had my size in inventory. They are comfortable from the very first day of wearing them. The only detail I wish it didn't have the Samoa name on the side w/the stripes but it's really not a huge deterrent from purchasing them. Very pleased!

Cute but stiff - These shoes look very cute but could use more cushioning and a more flexible heel. The heels on these are a little on the stiff side, so watch out for your Achilles tendons.

Adidas Samoas are the BEST! This is my fourth pair of Samoas and I was thrilled to see that adidas was making them again and that Zappos was carrying them! They're comfortable and look great with jeans, shorts, casual skirts…everything! My Samoas have traveled with me to Boston, Portland, New York, Berlin, Chicago, and more, and they always look and feel great! I'd highly recommend these shoes!!!

Love the shoes!!! I love these shoes! I keep trying to find the Sambas in my size with no luck, so I went with the Samoa's. So glad I did, these shoes offer great support and they look great. No rubbing on the heel, no rubbing on the tongue (which is shorter than that of the Adidas Gazelle). All around great shoe. It took no time at all to 'wear in' to my own foot contours. Like it was made for me!

Love the Samoa - This is my third pair of Samoa’s and I plan on getting another when these wear thin. First time you put them on, they feel a bit odd. But they break in well and can be dressed up or down.

Best Sneaker EVER! Bought these four years ago. They are the most comfortable sneaker ever, they go great with shorts. They were so great I had to buy several more pair in as many colors as I could get my hands on!

Love the Samoa's!!! I've been searching for the white ones with red stripes, but they seem to be discontinued. The 2 colors available on Zappos.com are just as nice! It runs slightly smaller than your average sneaker so don't be shy to go .5 to a full size above what you normally wear. I've known this for a while so I estimated my order correctly. No complaints, at all. 100% satisfied keep it up Zappos.com! I work next to a mall and I'd still rather get my sneakers through you guys.

Delightful experience - The shoe is great. The only problem I have is a little discomfort with the width. I suggest you buy either a half size bigger or a whole size bigger to accommodate your feet. Overall, great shoe.

Solid all around sneaker - I owned a pair of Samoa’s awhile ago. I like the retro look. Real comfortable. A good all around sneaker.
