Like 'em, don't love 'em - I really, really like the look of these shoes. I rate the comfort a little lower because they are pretty narrow, which I believe Adidas is kind of known for, but I'm going to stick with them anyway. If you don't have a wider foot then I think you'll love them.

Couldn't squeeze into the Samba so I got these - Tried the Adidas Samba but it was too narrow for my extra-wide, size 14 feet. Got these instead. Just barely enough width in the front.

Narrow fit, comfort level 6 out of 10. Picked them up on clearance additional 60% off so I can't really complain.

When you ordered your shoes you don't put the right size thinking that you ordering women's size and then you send me a side order another pair and then you send a smaller size that's computers not man what happened to the human beings in this world don't let machine replace you

The whole process of ordering my shoes was very easy. They were delivered on time as promised but when I opened the box the suede on the tip of one shoe was totally discarded, almost greyish in color. I'm very disappointed in my purchase and would think twice about ordering any item through the internet.

I liked the style of these shoes, but just could not get comfortable in them. Heel is too high and shoe is at least a half size bigger than marked. Developed some blisters, which is not usual for me.

Not for flat/wide feet. It's an 'ok' shoe. The product is somewhat comfortable, but after being on your feet for 8 hours a day, after about a week or two, I started to feel it. I have flat/wide feet so this shoe really doesn't suit me.. Another drawback is the tongue on the left shoe ALWAYS ends up crooked, and it scrunches up on my big toe, causing pain sometimes.

I have loved Adidas since I was a kid, and have never turned my back on their "Originals" line. Their shoes have always been well made, sharp looking, and comfortable. But, I have to admit, the Sambas were the first pair that have done me wrong. The heel and arch are both solid, but the toe is just too narrow for a comfortable fit. If you cannot live without having these good looking shoes in your arsenal, maybe try a half size larger or know you have toes!

It's a decent shoe, but nothing special. I needed an all black sneaker for work, liked the classic black and white version, and typically love everything Adidas. It took a few weeks to get them broken. I was a little disappointed, but having never owned this style shoe before, I don't know if this is just how the style feels, or if this version is sub-par to the original.

I love this shoe and couldn't find it at any local store for women. Unfortunately, when I received the shoe it was damaged. It has a small dig like hole in the leather of the right front, that was really disappointing.

An overall decent shoe although a bit clunky. Their bulkiness makes me feel like I might trip when I wear them and the laces come untied easily even if I double knot them. The fabric near the toe seems out of place but otherwise a nice looking shoe.

I wear an 11.5 in any other sort of shoe from any brand. A size 12 of these don't fit. I guess they are really, really narrow. I don't even fully understand. I give up on Adidas. The shoes seem unrealistically cut to me. Maybe, it's just the "larger" sizes.

Upon delivery, the shoe box had clearly been opened and re-taped. As a result, the shoes appeared to have fallen out of the packaging at some point.

The shoe was on the 40% mark down wall & when it rang up I was told it wasn't supposed to be there & was priced as marked - I didn't purchase these. Everything else I bought is great tho!

I really wanted to like these shoes. I love retro fashion. I am a tall woman with a size 12.5 foot, medium width. I ordered the men's 11.5. While my toes were not pushed against the end of the shoe, it felt very narrow. The worst part is that the shoes are heavy and clunky. They felt more like work boots than a casual sneaker. They make a lot of noise when walking on a hard surface, and have very thick heels. My husband measured me wearing the shoes, and without. These shoes made me a full inch taller!

Danger! Danger! The sole is high and rolling your ankle is a constant threat. I should have recognized this and dumped my pair. But I kept wearing them and now I have a sprained foot. Go with the lower-slung Samba model. Avoid the Samoa -- or buy mine used; I'm finally dumping them!
