Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Classic Soccer Cleats

Winter soccer training was switched at the last minute from turf to a court, so indoor sneakers were needed asap. Sambas have always been our go to and, since we were buying for 2 players for a short season, cost was key. The Samba is an all around good choice. Unfortunately for us, black was unavailable in the sizes we needed. While my guys do prefer white sneakers in general (such a weird trend right now, but I digress), these white Sambas are pretty ugly. Usually I can convince them to use them on gym days or even wear them for real, but these ones will likely just be worn to futsal and then passed along to another player.

Loved these, except that the tongue is so high and stiff that it rugs into your shins. Going to exchange for a similar pair with a more traditional style tongue. Very comfortable and excellent fit

I love these sneakers!!! They’re the style I wanted and they are quite comfortable. Only one minor complaint - the design would be better if the tongue didn’t stick out as far as it does. I push it down and it’s fine, but wish it were tucked in more. Because I love everything else about them I’d totally buy these again in a heartbeat.

True to size and width. Bought these for indoor soccer and have played multiple games with them and they still look great with no signs of wear and tear that you would expect. Would recommend these classic adidas to anyone needing a reliable, solid, and classic pair of indoor soccer shoes or tennis shoes that will last you a long time and make it through multiple games. Still wearing the same pair at least once a week that I bought several years ago. Highly recommended!

My husband loves the look and style of these shoes. But the tongue is so long that it's a little annoying, but overall he likes the shoes.

I have ordered this shoe multiple times from Zappo's. They have updated the shoe with an extended/padded tongue..as well as removing the "Adidas" logo from the back of the shoe. It probably feels better than before, but it is not quite as "classic"!

Too small. Would order a half size larger.

Nice looking classic shoe , returned mine ..... Didn't fit my foot quite right ..... Felt a little sloppy as a fit , might fit you perfect , just not me...

Shoes were shipped in one day with free shipping. The shoes were a gift for my son. He will only wear Adidas. Shoes were perfect and he has been wearing them from day one. He said they have perfect fit!

Between the rerelease edition with the short tongue and the classic (have owned both) I prefer the classic and flip the tongue for flair. These shoes are uniform classic alternative to chucks. Generally last two years, well built. Love em.

Can’t go wrong with this show. It’s quality made to take a beating from my boys day to day use. They use it for outdoor soccer, school shoes and everything in between.

Good arch support and true to size. Shoes are well constructed but it’s disappointing that they lack removable insoles.

My favorite shoe! I’ve been wearing these since high school for the past 20 years. I usually replace them every year after wearing and tear.

Classic look, not the most comfortable may need some more breaking in.

Love the look, great for hanging out, and warm on cool days.

Although I have had the Samba Classic as indoor soccer shoes in the past, this pair is just for every day wear. I love these shoes; they are stylish and comfortable. If you have never worn Sambas before, you might be annoyed by the tongue resting on your ankle, but I feel like you could also get used to it easily.

I've had these shoes multiple times throughout my life. Great casual soccer shoes and also for day to day wear.

My 17 year old asked for these when he needed new shoes, which is a first for him. He has been living in soft, lightweight Nikes since middle school, so when these were a bit stiffer it took him by surprise but he did not want to return them. He complained of discomfort in one shoe but no complaints now. He likes the style so I guess this is a turning point for this child. If anything it causes him to rotate different pairs on different days which is also new for him. My husband says they feel much lighter in weight than the pair he had in the 70s but the sole color is different. They look cute and retro.

My 13 year old son is wearing these shoes for indoor soccer. He loves the retro style and will sometimes wear them to school. They are durable and should last well beyond the soccer season. His one complaint is that the long tongue rubs against his shin. Perhaps this will improve with more break-in. Overall, a shoe with great value, appearance, and functionality.
