Timeless style, comfy, versatile and under $60 bucks!!! I'm a waiter and bartender and need to be on my feet and moving for 8-10 hour shifts and these don't bother me at all. Since I rediscovered these lil' babies 8 years ago, they almost always end up on my feet when I head to work. I've had a pair of these in my wardrobe for years now and will probably continue to do so for years to come.

I bought these for my son he likes them very much however, I ordered a 10 1/2 and an 11 because I was not sure of his size he told me they both fit him the same there was no difference in the size.

Absolutely thrilled -
I purchased the black on white Samba's for my husband's B-day. I was amazed at how quickly they arrived, and was very pleased w/ my choice of shoe. My husband was extremely happy w/ his gift and wares the shoes just about everywhere. I'm absolutely thrilled w/ my purchase and plan to do further shopping w/ Zappos.

Samba…The Street Soccer King -
Let me spell it out for you in words you can understand. If you ever play soccer/futbol in anything but your Predator cleats, and on anything but natural (and wet) grass, then you NEED these shoes. It is as simple as that. I am a football maniac, and I have only tried 2 or 3 shoes that are better than the Samba Classic for playing the beautiful game on cement…and all those shoes were very rare, expensive, and hard to find limited edition's made by adidas (the latest one being a Greece (colors) version of mundial goal (a special commemorative shoe of euro 2004)
And none of those shoes were as comfortable to wear off the pitch, looked as good, or gave you that sense of hip-ness these sambas do.
If you do not play soccer…then please understand. These are amazing shoes, in that A) they look absolutely great and if one word were to describe it would be CLASSIC. B) These shoes are basically like walking barefoot. If you don’t play soccer, but just have a stick-shift Miata or Z3.. these shoes will improve your driving skill & fun-factor.. If you BMX/Mtn Bike these shoes will give you that extra kick, and feel in your pedal.
C) The downside to this is that Sambas don't have huge support. If you work at a job were you stand up all day…then these shoes are not the best for you to be working in, or wearing after work…as there is only so much stress the human foot can handle without having one of those weeks were you cry like a baby about it. But if you want a shoe were you can literally feel like someone between Bruce Lee, Superman, and Zinedine Zidane, then these were meant for you. After you buy them and like them... move up to Samba K's (more expensive but worth it…sort of)
OH ya I wanted to say, these shoes do not go good with rain/snow…I seriously am depressed during winter months when I have to wear Nike basketball shoes so I don't get my socks wet.

"Concerning last review -
The front part "dirties" easier because it is a different material.

Great Shoes -
These shoes are the best I have ever owned. Right now I’m on my third pair. They are comfortable and look good on anything. I've even worn them with a suit! My one complaint is that the front part of the samba dirties easier than the rest.

Great shoe, I should have ordered a WHOLE size DOWN.
I have been in love with Samba's since 7th grade! I wanted them so bad but couldn't have them. They are still such a cool looking shoe! Plus you can fold over the tongue and it looks great too. This was the first pair I've ever bought. I do have to exchange these ones though because they are still a 1/2 size too big even though I already ordered an 8 instead of an 8 1/2. Good thing Zappos is offering free to/from shipping for exchanges & returns!

Awesome Shoe -
This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. I only replaced them at my wife's insistence. These shoes look uber cool and feel like slippers on your feet. Like the name says, a classic!

Handsome looks and flexible feel -
Not very heavy on cushioning or support - but it's not made to be that type of shoe. Gives feet close control of ball, gives good contact with ground. Not bad for walking around town, either, as long as your feet don't need a lot of support.

The Shoes. Ah, the shoes.
What can I say? Perfect fit for a guy like me.
150 lb 5'7 and packed with fury and rage.
Highly recommended for those who dress casual (not boot casual, but like jeans, shirt/jacked etc).
One thing I dislike is the fact that the front leather (mine is light color) is difficult to clean. Other than that, these shoes are sweet, a must buy!!!

These shoes are awesome!!
I have a bone spur on the bottom of my foot, so needless to say it can be hard to find shoes that I can comfortably wear. These shoes are so cushy on the bottom that I never have pain wearing these classy sneakers. These shoes even look good enough to wear to work without looking like a slob.

This is my 2nd pair of Sambas, I wore my first pair for almost 3 years, with no problems. I have very flat feet, so the arch is actually a little too big for me, but I put some of those foot pads inside, and after a week or two, they feel just fine. I got the white/black stripes for something different, and I think they look awesome, but I recommend putting black laces in them, so they look even better. Overall, this is a great, comfortable shoe.

Old school comfort -
It's hard not to like these, they are so versatile. Jeans, dress pants, formal, or active. It hardly matters. I personally like them for casual situations, but no matter they fit great. Just keep them tied and slip them on and then just go... no matter where, just go...

So happy with Zappos!
First off, there is no better indoor soccer shoe than the Samba. Great feel, great look (on and off the pitch) and super comfortable. I ordered these on a Sunday and they were on my doorstep by Tuesday afternoon. Amazing service and speed, as always! I am one satisfied customer and will keep buying my shoes from Zappos!!

Classic Indeed-
I've had my pair for about a year now and I must say these shoes live up to their billing. They are perhaps the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. Comfortable, old-school stylish, and can be worn with practically anything. For people who like to slip on their shoes, the huge tongue makes it easy. After a year, these shoes look nearly as good as the day I got them, and I'm not easy on shoes.

Great shoe-
Yet another pair of classic Adidas. Look good with everything and instantly comfortable out of the box. Main complaint is that the soles squeak when you walk.

A great classic shoe. It doesn't offer the latest and greatest technology, but its very light and comfortable and has a great "old-school" look.

I was having trouble finding this shoe anywhere - not even on the adidas site. Was so happy to have found it on Zappos. Will check here first next time .

always a great shoe -
I use this shoe for daily use, going out at night, and for Krav Maga classes. It's timeless...and feels awesome. As soon as they get more of these in stock I'm ordering two more pairs. Also had my shipping upgraded for free, got these like a day or two after placing the order. Good work zappos.

Nice kicks -
I have worn out two pairs of these shoes, I love them. They are built like a brick house and even after a years worth of hard wear on them they still look great. The leather upper is just enough to keep my feet from burning on my motorcycle and the rubber sole keeps great traction, nothing says cool like a pair of these.

Our boys have worn this shoe almost exclusively for several years. I was happy to find this site to order the shoe without shopping all over town to find it.

Like a pair of gloves for my feet -
The legendary Samba lives up to its billing. This shoe was comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft and supple. The size runs very true. There is no extra room in the toebox, which is what you would want in a soccer shoe.
The look is classic and simple.
You simply can't do better looking for an "old school" casual shoe that fits in with modern style.

Awesome -
I'm on my second pair of these shoes. I wear them everyday for everything. They're pretty stylish, they're a shoe that guys and girls can wear. After I got them many of my friends (male and female) went and bought some. I would definitely recommend them!
