Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Classic Soccer Cleats

This is a very comfortable shoe.These take maybe two or three days to break in, but after that they are comfortable. Over the years I have had many pairs of Sambas and I have never had a complaint. The style of the Samba Classic has a long tongue

Very comfortable pair of shoes. They fit very well and the materials are very durable.

Very comfortable shoes for walking around and just hanging out. Its very easy to quickly slip on and off. It did take a couple days to get used to the arch support (its a bit more than other shoes) and the long tongue can be a bit annoying while wearing ankle/short socks. It does squeak a little for the first couple hours of wear but it quickly goes away unlike the original Samba that I had before.

I bought these through Zappos. Great selection for a classic shoe. Sambas look great with shorts or jeans. Once they are broken in, they are super comfortable.

Great looking shoes that go with most of your outfits! People immediately recognize what you're wearing. Shows just how legendary these shoes are! If your feet are wider like mine, you'll probably want to go a 1/2 size up to make them feel a little better, but it's definitely worth it. Affordable, clean design and comfortable! Can't go wrong with these!

Really quality shoes. Toebox feels narrow and they are stiff but I am hoping that will soften up as I wear them. Besides, they look really good and serve the purpose of a stylish black work shoe that I can be happy with. Watch out for the arch support, it's pretty intense.

Shoe is very narrow and runs small!

I've been wearing 9.5 sambas for about 15 years, suddenly they are too narrow to wear?? Bought a pair last year and thought they just needed breaking in, then thought they must have been mislabeled (I also bought a white pair of 9.5's and had no problem). Finally bought a new black pair and same problem, too tight. Will try a 10 next and see how that goes. Very annoyed.

For the price and versatility, I'm very happy with these shoes that I've been using for ~2 years now. I bought these to use for free-weight training, being a flat, non-cushioned, somewhat stiff yet rugged shoe in which I can fit my custom orthotics, and I think they work well for this use. I've also started using them for mountain bike riding on rougher terrain where I don't dare use clip-in pedals/shoes; work pretty well for biking, too, although stiffer would be better. The long tongue helps protect my ankles from pedal scrapes. I occasionally also wear these casually/on the street, although they're not the most comfortable for extended walking.

I have worn Sambas for the past 20 years since university and they have always been durable, stylish, and really comfortable. Not sure if Adidas has changed manufacturing facilities, but my past two purchases have been extremely narrow. Definitely purchase one size larger than you normally would.

The Adidas Sambas are an excellent pair of shoes. I bought a pair in size 13. It may be a good pair of shoes, but there are a couple of flaws. In my opinion, the tongue is too big, but if you hide the tongue under a pair of jeans they look nice. My second and final flaw is when you put on the shoes, they're a bit tight, but the more you wear them, the more they stretch out. Overall, Sambas are a great pair of shoes. If you want to buy yourself a new pair of shoes for the holidays, this is the choice to go for!

Pros: These trainers are stylish and fit rather well. Cons: The foam arch support that these shoes came with were uncomfortable. These gave the impression that the shoes were too narrow for me. Solution: Taking out the stock insoles from the shoe and removing the foam arch support greatly added to the comfort for me and made them wearable. (Warning: Shoes may still be too narrow for some so do it at your own risk.) I gave these an overall score of four stars, because of the need to take out the foam arch support.

I tried my usual size (9-1/2) and also size 10 and both were far too narrow. I've never had problems with shoes being too narrow before - I guess it's something with this style. It's too bad; they looked great and were very comfortable other than the width.

Adidas seems to have redesigned the foot/arch support systems in the shoe. There is an uncomfortably large lump in the soles, that I guess are supposed to be arch support. The bulges are painful to walk on.

The addidas sambas are great. Where I work I have to walk around so much that I need a strong, durable and comfortable pair of shoes. After buying other name brand the sambas did the job, normally other shoes lasted me 6 months before they started to tair apart but not with this shoes. To sum up if you want a great pair of shoes that look casual and durable for people that are on their feet the whole day this are your shoes.,you would not regret your investment.

I wore these until they fell apart after about a year of constant use. The tongue looked like it might be uncomfortable at first, but the inside is nice and soft so I didn't even notice it. I didn't get any of the squeak that other people are talking about, but I figure I just got lucky. They felt narrower than marked at first, but fit perfectly after a week of walking in them.

They look more comfortable than they are. I do like the style. Goes well with multiple outfits. Just needs better insole cushion.

Man, this is a good shoe. First off, it's really good looking shoe. Although it is white, the brown sole and tan suede do a good job of preventing the white leather from being sullied with grass or dirt stains. I chose the white shoes because I like the look of the white shoes better than the black shoes when the shoes are clean. However, since these shoes are difficult to get dirty unintentionally, I do not regret this purchase. The only issue I have with the look is that the leather is somewhat easy to crease, but that's common with leather. Another thing to consider is that the suede can be somewhat tricky to clean. The mouth of the shoe was also a bit larger than what I anticipated, and I'm probably never running a 5k with these shoes, but that's not why I got these shoes. These shoes rock because they're stylish and they're comfortable. I deducted a star in comfort because a 5-star should mean that they feel like clouds. They don't, but they're still pretty great.
