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"!

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.

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.
I'd also recommend:

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.

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 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!

These trainers look fantastic and have a very robust construction. Compared to other Adidas Samba trainers I have had in the past these are on the small side making them slightly uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend these trainers but would suggest that you consider ordering a 1/2 size larger than your regular size - I thought they would loosen up but they haven't really so it's a bit late for me to change them now!

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.
