Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Classic Soccer Cleats

I received my shoes yesterday and opened the box up today to see two orange stains on in the inside of my shoe.

The shoe did not offer much arch support thereby contributing to discomfort in my back.

Maybe change the name or put something more specific differentiating this one with the OG

I love the shoes but not the large tongue. I will be replacing them for the ones with a smaller tongue

I've been wearing this shoe since 2010 and loved it. I would buy a new pair when my old ones wore out. It was my daily wear. But I guess since the popularity of these grew, the price went up and the quality went down. Bought a new pair in January 2024 and I'm very disappointed in how uncomfortable they are and how cheaply made they now seem to be. Overall very disappointed to see one of my favorites become so uncomfortable and expensive.

Good looking shoe. However, after 2 weeks of wearing them, they are tight on my feet, making me believe the size is mislabeled. I have been trying to stretch the shoes out, lace them in different ways and still they feel tight. I can't wear these shoes over long periods of time.

It is a nice soccer shoe for those who play soccer

I accidentally got the soccer version of the samba, I returned it and plan on getting the lifestyle version

I have owned a pair of these since I was 12. I buy them, wear them into the ground, and then replace them. They are a great shoe and usually have lasted me about 2-3 years before I wear a hole into. The last pair I got barely lasted a year. This sucks since I was significantly gentler on these than any of the previous pairs. I noticed that the color of the sole was darker than usual but didn't think much of it. My best guess is that the formula for the rubber changed and it simply isn't as durable as it used to be. It's really disappointing. This was MY shoe and the durability just isn't there anymore.

I didn't get the samba OG I got another samba. They say samba on the side but the tongue of the shoe is not the samba OG which I just bought my husband

The look is wonderful. The comfort level is low leaving blisters on my ankles. My shoes never leave blisters, these do. The rest of the shoe isn't that comfortable either. Disappointed

It was a decent shoe overall and I would maybe buy it again.

Too small...customer service was good though! Classic ADIDAS always great!

Make a wide version. This is for models to do their catwalk. Incredible narrow

What is the deal with these extra long tongues? These are definitely not the original OG Sambas. I have received 2 pair of Adidas recently with this and they are uncomfortable and ugly.

The photos don't accurately depict this shoe. The gum sole is nearly black , not a true gum sole or even as it appears in this photo.

FALSE ADVERTISING!! Picture shows gum soles , I received black soles. The black soles just aren't the same classic look. The shoes in the picture is not the real produce delivered.

Advertised picture displays brown gum sole. I received a black sole. I now see MANY reviews with the same issue. Disappointed.

My review was deleted from yesterday. Read BLACK Samba Classic DESCRIPTION and SPECIFICATIONS. The uppers ARE SYNTHETIC, NOT LEATHER, however DESCRIPTION incorrectly lists upper as LEATHER, but SPECIFICATIONS CORRECTLY described the UPPER as SYNTHETIC LEATHER, ie. Viny/Plastic! I'm an Adidas customer 17 pair! Ask Adidas. Be FAIR/HONEST to the buying public Adidas! I understand that Black is popular, but ONLY the WHITE SAMBA upper is LEATHER. Please CORRECT the DESCRIPTION to HONESTY reflect the materials! SYNTHETIC is NOT LEATHER! Some people won't care, but MANY will. I have 2 pair of Samba Classics, 5 pair of different Superstars, 1 pair of Mundial Goal, 5 different pair of Samba OG, 3 pair of Busenitz, 1 pair of Gazelle, 1 pair of Samoa.

Adidas was forced to write synthetic upper on the BLACK pair. If you read both description AND specifications, Adidas attempts to suggest that these are leather in one, and synthetic upper other for this BLACK pair.White pair are MUCH better AND leather. Shame Adidas other than the suede toe cap, the BLACK SAMBA pair are VINYL/SYNTHETIC UPPERS PERIOD! The white pair are LEATHER upper and FAR better quality. On the other hand, if you like BLACK, and aware that the UPPER is ACTUALLY synthetic/plastic, fine, but ADIDAS, please change the marketing information to more ACCURATELY and TRUTHFULLY inform the buying public. Just sayin

I loved it so freaking g munch I am so lit right not

Shoe can be narrow, I have to size up, last pair had poor quality suede, was discolored had to return

Disappointed in that the upper is not real leather, I ordered it thinking it was an "OG" and all leather upper but I didnt read the description well.and another thing the men-to-women size conversion is off on their chart. It is about a whole size off

If you're planning on buying the white shoe, you need to know that the outsole and midsole, the part that is brown, are not the same color as in the picture. When I ordered my pair, I thought I would be receiving what was in the picture. I was wrong. What I was sent was the same shoe with a black outsole and midsole.
