My son who is 10 years old loves these shoes. I have actually bought the same shoe for the last 5 sizes. I've tried buying Jordan's and other tennis shoes but he claims these are the most comfortable. My son also has a wide foot and he says they are perfect.

These look great, feel great and fit good. They do run narrow so we ordered a half size up. Unfortunately my son said that they are too cool for him. I am trying to convince him he is cool enough for sambas.

I bought these for my 5 year old son to play indoor soccer. They are absolutely perfect! The size is true to fit and comfortable. Made great to last a long time! Also great for outdoor spring time fun! No complaints here!

The Samba is a timeless classic sneaker that can be worn athletically for indoor soccer use or just to complete an outfit. My son has wide feet but these shoes are super comfortable for him to play in. It's a great shoe for a great price.

Great shoe for active boys that run through puddles and mud and whatever else they can to test how well mom can clean up these shoes! Great for kids with slightly wide feet, not all wide feet, but for those that don't quite need a wide, but don't fit in Chuck Taylors.

Great customer service! I got the shoes quickly but they were the wrong size shoe in the box. I called and they shipped the correct size that same day without charging my card again and they were at my door within 3 days. It was great!

I've now purchased two pairs of these shoes for my four-year-old granddaughter. She loves them, and they are easy for me to help her put them on because they are permanently laced. Unfortunately, she grows so fast that they don't get as much wear as I'd like to see on a pair of shoes selling at this price. Oh well, what are you going to do? Kids cost money.

Love! These shoes are super cool! We've always purchased the black sambas for our toddler and my husband. But we're loving the change with the white.

This is the only shoe my ten-year-old wants to wear. He's on his third pair. They're good for school and indoor soccer, and they're always in style. I've never been without a pair for the last 30 years myself. Classic kicks. Long live the Samba!

Nice quality shoes! My ten year old is rough with his clothes and these seem to hold up nice. The white stays fairly clean. The extra money is worth spending.

My 8 year old son has been wearing these for 3 or 4 years...he has not been able to destroy a pair yet. The shoes are so tough and well made he just outgrows them. An easy favorite.

Great shoe. There is the Classic and the Original. Make sure you know which you're getting. This (the classic) is the one with a bit of arch support.

This is the second year we bought these shoes and the boys love them. I like the vintage look. Great school shoes.

My son loved these shoes and so do I. They look super cute with jeans and are dressier than your average tennis shoes. A good compromise for a mom and 9 year old.

This is the second year in a row we have purchased these shoes for my son. They look very nice, stay clean and he says very comfortable. We will continue to buy these shoes.

Great sneakers. My 8 year old lives in them. He has thick feet and we don't get one complaint about these shoes!

I ordered these for my 5yr old and he loves them. The shows run about a 1/2 size big, so order accordingly. The show can be worn with jean or shorts and they look very neat on his feet. Very happy with the purchase and well order again.

I bought these in a size 8 for my almost two-year-old. They are quality made, just like the adult version. However, I feel the soles are a bit stiff. He has adjusted to wearing them, but I would have like a little more flex in the sole. We have another pair of Adidas for him and they are not nearly as stiff.

Awesome shoes. Just like when I was a kid. Same durability and the toe is a thick leather strip and can take a beating. My 6 year old wears these to school almost every day, and plays street soccer every day at recess. He loves them.

Great sneaker, comfortable. I got it for my 11 year old son. I wear size 6.5-7 and 6 fits me with room.

My son is 4 and he does indoor soccer. I thought I wouldn't need any special shoes but I was wrong. After seeing him tripping and falling during every practice I was on a hunt for shoes. I was looking for shoes that are wide (he has wide feet), comfortable, good sole, and high quality. I'm definitely not buying cheap shoes anymore as they just get worn out very fast with children. They are wearing those shoes all day, run, kick, stomp and if not more things that's usually not intended to do with shoes. These shoes meet all my criteria and I can highly recommend them with a minor flaw. Those strings come off easily when they are very active. I need to retie them couple times during practice!

These shoes are great for little boys who tear up shoes. We had bought 3 pairs of Nikes in about 4 months. We bought one pair of these and they lasted 5 months! The toe is reinforced enough and it doesn't have the weak mesh at the toe that rips so easily in the other style of shoes. I also really like that it has a place for the laces on the tongue to hold the tongue in place. The only thing that they are missing is a loop on the back to help get the shoes on. My son is 4 and it took him a bit to learn how to get them on without that loop. Also, the laces are too short for my liking, so we replaced those right away.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE these shoes! My son is 3 and these are by far his favorite shoes. He can wear these with dress pants or shorts. They go with everything and are very stylish. Even though they are white, they don't really get dirty. Well worth the price!

These are cool and functional. My son says they are very comfortable and he's not an easy one to please. Plus they work to play sports and to give a little fashion!
