Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Classic Soccer Cleats

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.

Probably one of the comfiest pairs of shoes I have ever owned. Out of the box they were a pretty tight fit, but after a day of wearing them they broke-in quite nicely and now feel great.

I bought these for cycling with old-fashioned toe clips and straps. They work fine, as the soles don't have any lugs or other protrusions. They seem to run narrow (which is fine because I have narrow feet) and about a half-size long. I still have them but I use a pair of Puma Esito Classic Salas more often.

Having been a long time wearer of Pumas, I thought I'd go for something different. I love the style of these so I had to get them. They did fit tight but got more comfortable after breaking them in for a week. Comparing them with my several pairs of Pumas of varying styles, the Pumas are just more comfortable and better quality. But these are a good shoe, great look for the price.

Classic shoe. A little Cheaper. I really like this shoe style and I have been buying them since I was a kid. Overall they seem to be getting cheaper over time (just my perception) but in a way that doesn't compromise the utility or quality of the product in a significant way. Take some time to break them in and they're still some of the most comfortable casual/sporty shoes out there.
