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.

I did like the shoes but they weren't as comfortable as I thought. I love the style but they just didn't look right on my feet.

My son complained that the heel was very stiff. We have bought Sambas for him previously and they were definitely more flexible than this pair. Maybe because they were the classic ones and I think these are the redesigned 2.0? I really wish these would have worked. It’s hard to find shoes for kids that don’t have white soles!

we ordered Sambas for my son for school, as a surprise we had them personalized, he thought it was sooo cool! well, he wore them once, and the personalization fell off. :( i am so mad that i spent the extra money and he is incredibly disappointed. when i tried to contact customer service, they told me the system was down and hung up on me. usually love adidas products, but i will think twice before ordering again

I don't know why Adidas makes their shoes so long and narrow. My kid does not have wide feet, but these shoes still cramp his feet so much that his pinky toes get corns. They are super stylish and I like the flat bottom, and also they hold up pretty well over time. But they really are made for very skinny feet.

I used size comparison chart to decide which size to order; I ordered 1/2 size down, had to return and order my actual size

Classic styling. Unfortunately, my soccer-loving son couldn't get past the stitching on the tongue causing blisters across the front of his ankles. Really wanted these to work. Unfortunately having to send the shoes back.

Purchased these for my son, mostly out of nostalgia as I wore these growing up. From the picture they appeared to be the same, old school ones I had with the "gum" colored sole. But, when they arrived the sole was/is very much black vice gum. I thought I made a mistake when I selected them, and sucked up the mistake since my son had already worn them outside. But, after checking my account orders, I had in fact purchased what appeared to be the gum colored soled version of these. If you're looking to purchase these thinking they'll look like the Sambas of yore, think again.

Love the samba but these came with a black sole and not the brown one. Not as advertised, unfortunately going back.

You need to change the picture! The ones that were shipped have black soles not the original gum. This is extremely misleading.

I have another pair of Sambas that these were to replace. These are not leather, the logo is different, the font "SAMBAS" on the side is different, the tongue is a weird plastic with a different addias logo, and overall the shoe was very stiff with a much thicker sole. Returning.

Super disappointed! My son wore these to school for 2 days, and said they hurt his feet at recess when he played kickball. Since he wore them, we can not return them.

We purchased these 3 years in row for our son and they lasted ther whole year! Only stopped wearing them because he outgrew them and the season changed. HOWEVER, these are not the same quality. I have no doubt they are authentic Adidas, but I think Adidas changed their leather. It looks and feels more like pleather or just low quality leather. Sadly, we returned them.

I bought these for my 4 y/o to wear for indoor soccer. She loves them so much that she's been wearing them every day to school as well. I thought they'd start looking dirty really fast since they're white, but so far they still look white despite having the little black rubber pieces on the playground at school and the soccer turf. She says they are the most comfortable shoes she has. The size she wears in these is the same as her Stride Rite and Sketchers sneakers.

I ordered these and received another version of them with white on the outer part of the sole. The only reason I did not return them is because my husband liked them and my son was okay with them. The shoelaces a really short and hard tie.

My little one is constantly complaining about how they hurt his feet. I would return them, but he has already worn them.
