These are my tried and tested go-to shoes. I've had 4 pairs over the past 5 years. Each one lasting just slightly longer than the previous. While they fall apart like every other shoe out there, they don't do it quickly. Often times, they could go for another 5 months if I didn't use them while longboarding.

These shoes are excellent for both purely casual wear and athletic involvements you may find yourself in. They're very lightweight, but very durable. They provide excellent grip in urban environments and are extremely comfortable. In comparison to other shoes I've had, I normally have to go smaller in size because of the length, but the width is perfect. I find these MUCH better than the other Adidas Sambas with the blue logo.

The Best -
Probably one of my favorite shoes ever. These go with anything, jeans, cords, khakis. And they always look cool and sleek. At first they were tight and had a high ridge, but soon they formed to my feet and now are very comfortable.

Good shoe. Not great, but good.
I bought these mainly 'cause I think they look cool, I confess. The arch is a bit too far forward, and they sqeak like mice when I walk (which will stop over time). They're also not ventilated, so my feet get really hot in them. The only real reason I wear them every day is 'cause they look so cool and they're really in style right now. I'm a total fashion-victim where these shoes are concerned, cause they're not that great -but they look good.

The shoe has a great look. Unfortunately this size didn't fit and felt stiff.

I love these shoes! I wear them as my daily shoe (I'm a teacher). I can go out to recess and kick a ball with my students and I am comfortable all day!

Great shoe. Definitely runs a half size to a full size large, so buy accordingly - but easily one of the best indoor soccer shoes on the market. Tried and true.

Classic Samba, solid leather and a cool, simple, clean and tasteful look. I love the new longer tongue. They run big...about a half size. I returned mine for a half size smaller.

Switched from Vans Oldschools to the Adidas Sambas, and didn't regret it. The arch support takes a little time to get used to, but after that I don't see me going back to a shoe without it.

Received shoes a couple days after ordering in new condition. Shoes were an ok fit, as the arch inserts under the insoles caused me a little discomfort. After taking those out and putting a better insole, the shoe feels more comfortable. The classic and simple look is why I ended up getting a pair of these again .

I've been wearing Sambas for decades, as my "go to" sneakers. Unlike a lot of other athletic shoes on the market the Samba Classics are built to last. I'm still wearing a pair I purchased in 1999, and as long as you clean them and put some mink oil on the leather once every six months, the leather will age beautifully. I like to buy them a little bit snug, and have them stretch over time for a perfect fit. But, if you order your usual size, they'll be comfortable right out of the box. The great thing about these shoes is you can wear them with a button-up shirt and dress them up, or wear them with shorts and a t-shirt - they look great either way. Plus, I've gotten compliments on my Sambas for years. It's one of those timeless, subtle designs that isn't flashy, yet always gets noticed. I'll be wearing Sambas as long as Adidas makes them.

Sambas have lasted me longer than almost any other shoes that I have purchased. I only have one pair of shoes that I wear everyday and usually I would need new shoes every six to eight months, Sambas last significantly longer, my first pair lasted around 13 months and this pair is at 18 months.

These are great sneakers! I purchased these due to the nostalgic feelings from wearing these as a kid in the 80's and the fact that they still look uber cool and timeless. They are super comfortable right out of the box and very well made. They are an exceptional value as they will last for years.

Mine don't squeak! Well, that was my biggest fear in purchasing these shoes after having read many many reviews. But I'm glad that I went ahead and purchased these because they are so comfortable. I don't play indoor soccer and I wear these purely for comfort and style and I really am glad. I've been wearing a lot of Converse, casual flats, Vans (zapato del barco)...and I think in terms of comfort, these are up there but I also feel like I could run a short distance in them if needed (compared to my Vans, which I wouldn't). I don't have super flat feet but slightly flat but don't have any problems. The tongue also does not bother me, I just pulled it over to the side a bit and it's fine. I normally wear 7.5 when I wear Nikes for like running, basketball, cross-training...and I bought a 7.5 in these. But I think I like my Chucks, I'd prefer to go a half size down to wear them more fit since there's less padding overall. I know many people who have been wearing these for years, pair after pair...and I think I'm going to be one of those people now. Nice street style but also fine for the office on casual Friday...at least until they're too beat up.
