Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Classic Soccer Cleats

I love the classic white Adidas Sambas (the ones with the original long tongue). The black version of these shoes seem to be a lot more common. You can buy the black ones from J Crew even. I think that the white ones are better and more versatile in your wardrobe. Everyone needs a pair of nice classic white sneakers. I can wear these with khakis and a sweatshirt or with jeans and a tee. They even look great with no socks when wearing shorts. The long tongue is my favorite thing about these shoes. I am glad that more people haven't discovered how great these work with the slimmer fit pants. When I wear these with my APC jeans the tongues stick out the front of the leg openings and looks super cool. I get a lot of comments. I am very careful to keep these clean (although they are easy to wipe down). I would recommend spraying a water proofer on them, the front swede in particular. I had my last pair for a year and a half before buying another pair to replace them. The old pair didn't look that bad yet though. They definitely run a half size small, so order a half size up. Nike shoes are the same way, so if you know what size you wear in Nike then order that size. Enjoy these shoes, and welcome to the cool club.

I love these classic Adidas Samba shoes. They fit and look great and I couldn't be more happy with them and with the Zappos service! I ordered the shoes on a Monday afternoon and had them on Wednesday morning! Thanks Zappos!

These are fine quality sneakers. I always have to have a pair on hand. I blew the soles out of my old ones after about 3 years of vigorous wear. Zappos' generous shipping upgrades and lightning fast response keep me coming back!

My Samba Classics arrived on time by one day shipping. I can easily thank Zappos for that because not everyone does it. This is my first pair of the Adidas brand name ever, and I have to say I like them pretty well. A few things worried me at first, but I got over it once I wore the shoes. The tongue is a very thin fabric but also very comfortable when laced up . I first felt like the toe box might be too narrow. Then I took off my heavy winter socks and replaced them with a lighter pair. There's not much in the way of arch support and I was comfortable anyway. The style is sort of simple and basic, almost understated, which is what I look for in a retro shoe. The Samba Classic carries a special DNA and I love the soles on this one which are just perfect. A good casual choice to wear.

I wore these shoes 18 years ago, and they're the same today as they were then. The shoe is so unbelievably comfortable, you'll see why the design has remained unchanged for so long. The gum outer sole has nice grip on carpeted surfaces. The upper is soft yet durable, allowing for nice touch on the ball. The shoes are very light. My only complaint is the long tongue, but the other Samba version (with the shorter tongue) has other design changes that make them less comfortable (like the faux leather heel liner).

Very good shoes so far. I have extra wide feet and these only come in D width, but I bought them anyway and do not regret it. They\'re very snug but they stretch just enough to be comfortable, and have held up to considerable stress. They have a surprising amount of arch support, and I would recommend them to anyone.

My sons love Sambas! We have black and white. I don't think they are worth a lot of money but what are you going to do? They wear them almost every day. Thanks, Zappos, for being so easy to work with and for your amazing fast shipping! You rock!

I have been wearing these shoes for 16 years. I have owned a total of 4 pairs in my lifetime. I love them, they are great for being on your feet all day and versatile for everything from walking to rock climbing.

Very comfortable shoe with excellent arch support, cool styling, and very grippy soles. I bought this shoe for everyday use, and it is probably my favorite shoe ever. I will definitely buy more Adidas Sambas in the future.

Great shoes. They will last you a very long time. I had my previous pair for three years, and the only reason I had to order new ones was because my dog took one of my shoes and I couldn't find it. So if you're looking for a pair of shoes that will last you a long time, and look good, then look no further.

This shoe is great, fits nice and looks even better, but there isn’t any arch support - after standing all day when wearing these at work once, my feet were dying, not doing that again till I get inserts.

Classic about-town football shoe always ready for a quick pick-up game in the street or just sippin' espresso at the outdoor cafe. Lightweight yet sturdy, this simple pleasure takes care of your stance from the ground up - with international styling and doesn't make you sell your shares just to get them out the door.

I ordered these shoes from work, right around the time I got in that morning (9AM?). I was extremely surprised/happy to find them on my door step the very next day, when I returned from work. Amazing service, and shipping. I had never used Zappos before, and this is my third pair of shoes I've bought recently, and the third pair that came from Zappos. Great work! Oh yeah, about the shoes themselves, they're great, I'm wearing them right now.

My purchase was timely delivered, shoes were perfect. I have ordered from Zappos many times (even had to exchange items at times) and have always been completely satisfied.

I have ordered several times from zappos. Everything has always fit perfectly and I have been blown away at how fast my purchases arrive. The UPS man told me they are their favorite customer because they are so efficient. I have found their prices to be low compared to other companies especially since they don\'t charge for shipping. Love this company!

My Samba Classics have been excellent for my indoor soccer games. The shoes are comfortable and lightweight, along with being a great value. I've shopped Zappos for my last 3 pairs of shoes and I'm always impressed with the level of customer service.

I ordered a pair of shoes from Zappos.com. It was my first time, I needed them for my boyfriend's birthday. I ordered the shoes and they arrived in great time. I love the fact the Zappos has a 365 day return policy, too. This is so comforting to know. My boyfriend loved his shoes and I will be shopping with Zappos again real soon! Thanks!

Terrific service! The shoes were on my doorstep less than 24 hours after I ordered them. Zappos upgraded my shipping for free. BTW, the shoes are cool!

PRE BACK SURGERY RELIEF - This shoe was the greatest thing since sliced bread for my aching back awaiting back surgery! I have 2 slipped discs L4 and L5 of my lower back that are pinching my sciatic nerve. Which for those that don't know is the worst type of nerve pain the human body can receive. I am a rather big guy 6'2" and 220 lbs. more of it muscle than fat for what little bit it may or may not matter I might add. Point being that this shoe can support a big mans weight VERY COMFORTABLY and greatly reduced the pain my back was experiencing while awaiting surgery. If you’re looking for a good looking and overall great shoe I would recommend the Adidas Samba to ANYONE!!!

I own a closet full of great sneakers but I always grab this adidas classic. Extremely comfortable and durable they look as good broken in as they do brand new. Great versatile shoe.

Nice shoe for the price - I usually take a size 10D or Medium, but I found the shoe to be one-half size too small so I re-ordered a 10 and 1/2 and it fit fine.
