A great leather, all-around shoe for the classic, yet stylish kid. The Classic Samba is more narrow, which is perfect for my son's skinny foot. My son says, "These shoes are awesome!" We did need to buy new shoestrings that were longer...a quick trip to Target fixed that.

My six year old daughter begged me to order these for her indoor soccer league. She's the youngest player, so she wanted to look the part. She loves them! They fit her slightly wide foot nicely.

I got these for my son to play indoor soccer. Excellent shoe, fits great. Price is high for a kids shoe but they last a while.

Great shoes. So far holding up well. My 9 year old thinks they are very cool. I'm order another pair for my 5 year old.

The moment my sons got these, they wanted to wear them to bed. My husband has a pair and now the boys do. They are a classic shoe to have.

My granddaughters love this shoe. They have a wide toe span so this shoe works perfect for them.

These are super great, true to size, and a big hit with my kids. The laces were a little shorter than I expected, but not a hassle. A technical complaint, but I would recommend these strongly!

I purchased these Samba shoes for my 10 year old son. He loves them. He tells me they feel and look great with his school uniform. He is ready to purchase another pair in another color. For me, the purchasing from Zappos was so much easier than taking a 10 year old shopping at a store. Thanks Zappos!

Bought 2 pair of these Adidas Samba Classic Cores; one for my 5 year old and the other for his 2 year old brother. They love to match and I love that they actually come in all size ranges (toddler through youth). The quality is top notch (to be expected from Adidas), they are exactly as pictured. They appear to be durable, fit true to size. No problems! The boys love them and they can be dressed up or down, which I love!

Great shoe for my kid. It feels comfortable for him, and it looks pulled together for me. I think he'll wear it for church some, too.

Excellent basic shoe, lightweight and yet sturdy and doesn't look too heavy. Stylish enough for a fashion-conscious girl, too.

I love Zappos, they upgraded my shipping and I received my package in two days. Unbelievable customer service. I will continue to order from Zappos.

I bought these shoes for my daughter because I loved the way they looked online. When I opened the box, my daughter wanted to put them on right away. She wears them everyday to school and absolutely loves them! They fit true to size. I finally found the perfect active shoe for my daughter!

I bought the white pair for my 5 year old son. They are very cute and even after a few rounds on the playground they aren't white anymore, but they don't look dirty. Adida-fit is a great way to see if the shoes are the right size, too!

Samba Kids -
My grandson likes the shoes and finds them to be comfortable. The width and length are true to size. The issue with these shoes is width; Stride Rite has a variety of widths and I consider Stride Rite to be a better value if the child likes the style.

Little Pieces Of Mud All Over The House -
My son loves these shoes but I do not! I have 4 children ages 18, 17 and 10 year old twins. Three of my kids are boys and they are wide open. In ALL the hundreds of pairs of shoes that we have owned we have never had a pair of shoes that had the problem these have. Every day I find little pieces of dirt that are in the exact shape of the shoes tread all over my house. For some reason the size or shape of the treads are perfect for dirt/mud to compact into and as my son walks through the house he leaves cookie cutter perfect shaped pieces of mud all over the place. My son is not even aware of having been in mud most of the time and it appears that this issue is the result of normal playing around, not stomping in the dirt or mud. Again, this has never been an issue with any other shoes. We are trying to remember to leave the shoes by the door but this is such an unusual thing and we just aren't into that routine. My other 10 year old son has Puma's that look very much the same that do not have this problem at all. We will not buy these shoes again!

This is my 9yo son’s second pair of samba shoes, and the first pair of shoes that he outgrows before they break (8 months of wear).

Our family go-to shoe! These shoes last forever and can handle the daily wear and tear that a kid puts them through. I’ve had mine for six years! I can run and lift weights in them.

My 11 y/o son's been wearing the Samba since toddlerhood. It's his absolute favorite shoe and he wears them too much!
They're so solid and reliable.
