These shoes are super cute but probably better for narrower feet. I bought 172 up and they were just right for my son, I would buy 1 size up.

My 9 year old wanted "cool" shoes and these fit the bill. He says they are generally comfortable and he loves the way they look. Not as great for super active things like sprinting or playing soccer outside (they won't take the place of real running shoes or soccer cleats), but great everyday shoes.

These are great looking shoes that are solidly constructed that are classics! But they are way too narrow. My son is a W or 2W in normal shoes. Many other kids are, too. It is a squeeze, but he is able to get into a soccer M with many shoes. But for this Adidas Kids Samba Classic, he could not even get his foot halfway into the shoe - and it was half a size larger than normal. C'mon adidas. Make a wide shoe for the other 30 percent of kids out there. I would pay more if it would just fit.

Very cute! But way bigger than I expected. I bought a size 8 for my toddler, who is currently wearing a size 8 in his Puma shoes. The Adidas are huge by comparison. I held them up against a pair of Converse shoes that are size 10 and they were the same size. I don't know if this is typical or if the ones we received are mismarked, but they are way too big for our son.

My 9-year-old loves these sneakers but what was I thinking buying white suede sneakers for a kid? I tried spraying them with suede protector but they still turned filthy within a week. Live and learn. Other than that, they're great.

Zappos is freaking amazing! There customer service is stellar! I am overly impressed. I'm VIP, so when I order, my orders ship overnight for free. I ordered these for my son, they didn't fit, called the same day, they said they'd send another size even before I sent the first pair back. The next day, the exchanged shoes are on my porch! They are also sending me a label to return the first pair for free. Wow! This is why I'm a loyal customer!

My 3 1/2 year old started indoor soccer and these are perfect! They run true to size with thin socks. Need to be tied tight and double knotted when playing. Great shoe - a must for indoors.

Great shoes, as always. All three of my boys wear sambas, always, everyday. My input on these particular sambas, however, is that this is our first pair of white. My son is very happy with them, but I am disappointed, because, as I could have easily predicted, they were immediately dirty. They are not easy to clean, and thus look forever dingy. I will switch back to blue or black for his next size. (By the way, we love to dress these up with colored laces and get many compliments!)

I'm so bummed! I purchased these for my 6 1/2 year old son who has a high instep and had to return them as they squeezed his foot (happens to us all the time). I love the look and I hear the quality is great. I'll try again next year!

It looked like something I would be comfy in from a style and comfort perspective that would match many attires

The price is very high compared to the quality of the product, I think there should be a better price offer for this product.

Nothing wrong with the quality, it's just not the right size

Ordered this for my son, size 5. It fit me when i tried it, with room to spare (i wear 6-6.5, wide width). But the tongue was too long and kinda sharp/stiff, it bores into my instep whenever i walk. Sadly, it will be returned

trendy yes, worth the money? probably not. there are other just as flat shoes you can get for cheaper - might even be more cozy.

The trainers are great. But do not look anything like the pic. The have a light brown gum sole in the picture and arrived as a very very dark brown, almost looking then like a completely different.

the sole is black and hard, not brown as in the pictures, it's not adidas samba classic that I've been buying for many years, I'm very disappointed..

Super comfortable and cute, but the sole is not brown which is one of the main reasons as to why I bought it. Adidas needs to update their photos if changing a product!

I was sad to see that the soles are not the original gum color but now black. Not like my old pair.

Tongue is too long. True soccer shoe, not meant to be worn casually.

I really love the brown sole. I had purchased this shoe every year for my kids. Unfortunately Adidas needs to update the pictures and description. I ordered this shoe 3x and they all came with a black sole. Very disappointed.

I like the shoes but they didn't send the ones I ordered. They sent the all black ones, not the ones with the tan bottoms. I decided not to return due to them being a Christmas present for my son.

Color received does not match color ordered. The shoes are all black instead of the gum color on the bottom. Fortunately my kid likes them all black but still misrepresented on the website.

Not anywhere near futsal-grade leather. Length was right but the toe box is really big.
