These are by far my favorite pair of shoes that I've purchased from zappos.com! Everything from style to comfort, the Samoas will fit with any look you're going for. I'll probably pick up another pair in a different color.

I was actually disappointed with this shoe. The sole is so thick and heel is so high that it's difficult to flex at the balls of the feet and if feels like I could roll my ankle easily. Also the opening is so wide that slimmer jeans do not fall or sit right over the shoe. I was thinking it would be similar to Puma Roma's but it's really not.

Great shoes, great service! Zappos rules. Got the shoes, had a little mishap with packing, Zappos overnight new shoes. My husband surprise was a hit! He has been talking about these shoes for months. He wears them all the time, comfort, comfort, comfort. Guess what, He felt bad feeling good, so he order me a pink pair. Woo hoo! Thanks Zappos!

I love the retro look of these sneakers and bought these for my son for his birthday. He loves them! Not only do they look cool, but he insists they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn. The arch support is great and provides the extra comfort and support he needs for running and playing. He has asked me to order them in another color so he has a backup pair. Great shoe!

These are a comfortable shoe. The tread provides a good grip on smooth surfaces, even when wet. I work in a spa and these shoes are perfect for work that requires a lot of time on your feet, and yet a professional appearance (for massage therapists it is perfect).

It's a decent shoe, but nothing special. I needed an all black sneaker for work, liked the classic black and white version, and typically love everything Adidas. It took a few weeks to get them broken. I was a little disappointed, but having never owned this style shoe before, I don't know if this is just how the style feels, or if this version is sub-par to the original.

I love the Samoa sneaker I purchased from Zappos. The fit was perfect and the color is perfect. I would definitely recommend doing business with them again and the overnight delivery is the best. I purchased a pair of Fit Flops and the North Face boot as well and I am very satisfied with the service I received. I'm always checking the website to see what else I may see to have delivered to me overnight and the return service is excellent as well because you have one year to return the item/s and it's as easy as it was when you ordered.

Basically these shoes are lousy. They provide excellent support, but are everything hated about wingtips stuffed into a trendy, but very uncomfortable, sneaker. The sole is a thick hunk of barely flexible rubber that makes it difficult to flex at the balls of the feet and is very narrow. This made me feel like I'd roll my ankle at any moment and provided great shooting pains in my knees with each step. I guess I have a very wide stride or something. After wearing them for four days to break them in I'm going to keep browsing and writing this pair off as a moderately priced mistake. That's the last time I buy for trendy looks.

I love the Adidas Originals and this one was an addition to my collection. I love the way it fits and how comfortable my feet feel inside the shoes. I will recommend this for anyone that want style and comfortability.

I didn't even try them on. They just look huge and clunky. Maybe for a man this shoe would work but for a woman, no way. I'm a designer and the type treatment for SAMOA was pretty bad too. I'm a bit surprised this was from Adidas. Needless to say these are being returned.

Really comfortable! There was no need to break them in. I ordered a half-size up as was recommended by other reviews.

Love my Samoas! I bought the platinum (grey) on white. I got a lot of compliments from men and women these are some "clean" kicks, perfect for summer wear! I wear size 9 (women's), and got the 7.5 men's for a perfect fit. The leather is soft and the sneaker is very comfortable.

These shoes are timeless. I have owned Samoas in a few different colors over the last few years and believe they are a must have for your summer wardrobe. They go well with a pair of jeans as well as with a pair of shorts. You cannot go wrong! They are classics!

Very nice shoe. Seems very well built and sturdy. After breaking it in, it is quite comfortable as well. I also should add that Zappos' customer service was amazing throughout the crazy process of ending up with this shoe.

These shoes are very comfortable even for those with wide feet. The leather is soft. The shoe goes great with dark denim and Polo shirts. The perfect summer shoe and they arrived in 2 days for Standard Shipping.

Although I really like my Adidas they are too big I should have gotten a 7 instead of a 7.5. I didn't return them because I don't like the hassle of shipping. But I would order from Zappos again.

One of the most comfortable shoes ever made; I own six pair in different colors and will purchase more as colors become available. The shoe fits like a slipper and is very lightweight and a great casual shoe for going out and about. Highly recommend this shoe.

These shoes really are funky fresh!Really they are terrific. I am female so I had to buy a man's 6.5 to fit my woman's 7.5 feet. I like the black rubber on the toe and in the woman's version it is white. Anyway, these fit great. Super comfy. I have narrow feet so these are great for me but in my opinion they are on the narrow side especially for a man's cut. they look and feel great and Zappos got them to me lightning fast. I did not mind paying full price for the product and service! and that is saying a lot!

Not the best arch support and a little narrow but will do fine outside of the gym and off the field. Best really as a very stylish casual shoe, not any sort of athletic shoe. These do not run large at all and I had to go a half size up to find a pair that fits.
