Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

Cool shoe and seems pretty sturdy. The insole was removable, which is great if you want to you orthotics or a sturdier insole. Main issue is that these run very small and narrow. My feet barely fit into them. (I wear a women's 10 and men's 8 with very little variation.)

Nice, classic shoe. However, I wish I had purchased the "original" edition of the shoe as the tongue of this shoe is over the top.

I like these shoes all right. The fit is fine (though I have had to learn that with Adidas and Puma, I should order one size larger than my usual). Manufacture is a bit cheap, notably the strange ribbed plastic tongue, and the suede looks grubby not long after purchase. But decent looking shoes, and decent value for money. The arch is small for me, but I have large, high arches.

I like this shoe very much. I initially purchased a size 10, but they felt very tight so I exchanged them for a 10.5. The 10.5's fit perfect. the shipping was awesome as always (very fast). As far as style goes, these shoes are some of the most stylish retro shoes I have ever purchased and they go along with many different styles of clothing. I would highly recommend them.

Lovin' these kicks. Only problem I've had with them so far is that there was a little friction against my pinky toe at first. After stretching them out a bit they fit perfectly. They also look perfect! I put a fair amount of abuse into my shoes, and these have stayed mint for the month or so that I've had them, wearing them every day.

Awesome sneaks. They look sharp but remember the tongue flap does stick out a little more than most sneakers. Some might mind when wearing shorts. Cool sneakers though.

Everything is good, the tongue of the shoe is a little weird - The tongue of the shoe is a little big. Sticks out a lot, can't tell from the picture they offer. Not a big deal. Still a good shoe.

Classic delivers as all-round sneaker. I love the look of the Samba, but it's a good performer as an all-around casual shoe. I use it at the gym and around town. It lacks the heel cushion needed for running or even jogging, but that's not what this shoe is about anyway.

Classic Shoe is mostly comfortable. These shoes are, apparently, really cool. I say apparently because "cool" is partially in the eyes of others and not only myself. These shoes are pretty awesome. The fit is mostly comfortable; Adidas loses points with me for being slightly narrow. But, to be fair, I have big ol' paddle feet.

Great look; okay support - If your feet are wide, these shoes may feel narrow, as the arch support seems designed for very narrow feet. I hope they will break in a feel more comfortable. Great look, great shoe otherwise.

Adidas Samba - The shoe was ok. The suede ripped and the padding inside wore away.

Great look, not the most comfortable- I love the classic look of the Samba... one of the only sneakers you can wear with a suit... but they run small and narrow... I usually wear an 11 but had to go all the way to a 12 for a comfortable fit, and it's still a bit narrow for my taste...

A classic shoe - Had a pair of these years ago, saw someone in them recently and thought they still look cool. Once a classic always a classic. Comfortable, but not as substantial as I remember them being.

A True Classic - This shoe is a true classic. I am an older male intending to restart an exercise program. This shoe is comfortrable, light and handsome. Its styling remains true to the original adidas shoes.

I feel this is overall a great shoe. They are just the right width, even though they are almost a half size too large.

Awesome Shoe - When I bought the Samba Classic's, I knew that I had made a good choice. I play indoor soccer with them, I use them in P.E. and I sometimes wear them in the Gym. I wear a size 12 1/2 and so I thought that I'd buy them a half size larger so they'd fit longer. Well, big mistake. Now it feels as if they are way too big and I have to wear about 4 pairs of socks to my games. But none the less, these are great shoes. I just wish that I would've bought them the same size that I wear right now. So if you are thinking about buying this shoe, buy it the SAME size as you are right now, so that it won't be way to big when you buy it. Overall I'd give this shoe a 4 1/2 out of 5.

I ordered these for my fiance for Christmas. These are his 4th or 5th pair of Sambas, he loves them and wears them until they wear out. We were completely satisfied, except that I counldn't tell until we got them that they had such a long tongue on them, unlike his old Sambas. It seems like Adidas changes the appearance a little every so often, but this is a change he did not like, because they won't look very good with shorts this summer. Please tell Adidas to stick to the short tongues unless they are making a pair of cleats. Thanks.

The fit is slightly small on the toe. Otherwise, love the look of the sneaker, true to image.
