Customer Reviews adidas Kids Samba® Classic Core (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

My grandson\'s wish list for Christmas included White Sambas. I searched everywhere and his size was out of stock. I was about to give up. Fortunately, I found Zappos and what a great find. I was able to order his Sambas, they arrived promptly. I am very pleased with Zappos and the Sambas. Also, he\'s been wearing them non-stop. Thanks Zappos!

This is a great little stylish shoe for young boys in school. It holds up great and still looks new a month after having them. Little boys are so hard on their shoes, it's hard to find something cool and comfortable that they like. I just ordered the samba for my four year old as well. It's awesome.

My son has worn this shoe for 4 years in a row. Very sturdy, durable indoor soccer shoe and good for boys with a narrow heel and flat arch. It even doubles as a sneaker to wear to school.

LOVE these shoes! Absolutely LOVE these shoes! They are so comfortable and stylish! It's my absolute favorite pair of sneakers! I almost want to order another pair...just in case they ever stop making them!

Adidas review - Kinda squeaky. Very casual shoes they go with anything!

Adidas Kids Samba - Our daughter absolutely loves the "white" Adidas Samba indoor soccer sneakers. She says they're super comfortable, loves the style, and wears them to school as well. They fit true to size.

9 yr old loves them! These shoes were a great fit. Less bulky and a little narrower than the skate shoes my kids typically wear. My 9 yr old loves them -thinks they are all the rage (I'm not always up with the latest 9yr old boy fashions :)

Love these shoes - These are my daughter’s go-to shoes. They work for gym and look good to. They fit her feet well. She has VERY narrow feet. This is our 3rd pair of the same style for her. They hold up well too. We just passed her first pair to her little brother (another plus! they are unisex!).

We love this shoe - My daughter (12-years) loves the look and feel of this shoe. So far, they have held up well at an all-day summer camp that involves rock climbing, repelling, and rugby. Even though they are relatively flat on the bottom, she says they provide "great" support and are very comfortable.

My favorite shoes! Sambas are not only cute, but they are also comfortable + functional. I own them in black + they go with ALL of my casual outfits...I love them!

I ordered the 2.5 and the 3 in this shoe. Although the lengths seemed to fit as marked, the widths differed greatly. The size 3 fit comfortably in length and width, but the 2.5 was very narrow beside the expected shorter length. Both pairs were marked medium width. My daughter kept the 3 and we sent back the 2.5.

Great all-around shoe! My 8 year old was drawn to the look of this classic sneaker, and loves the way they fit. They are perfect for gym class especially. My husband was wearing the same sneaker back in the 80s when I met him and loved them too. This sneaker is a winner.

5 stars for Adidas - This is the 2nd pair for my daughter. It's all she wears for school & work. She loves the look and comfort.

COOL - The shoes were great for sports. They were very comfortable too. Only thing, the first time you wear the shoes you might fell a little discomfort this is just because they are meant for indoor soccer. Great Shoes!!

Bought these for my son. Same OG Samba style I had back in high school. These do not give any heel support so for boys with heel issues from growing pains, beware. My son loved the style though.

My 7 year old is difficult when it comes to new shoes. He is sensory, and rejects anything that feels off. That said he loves these shoes right out of the box. The heels are nicely padded with soft material. I'm hoping they are made well enough so that I can pass them down to my younger son. I gave 4 stars only for the price. We highly recommend these. He doesn't lace up very well yet, but rather keeps them tied a little loose and slips his feet in.

Great shoe. All the mentions about the shoelaces being too short/too slippery to stay tied are true though. We had to get a different set we could double knot. My 3 year old loves them for soccer and all around sneakers. He even wore them in a wedding!

I have been buying a new pair for my son every time he outgrows it. They are comfortable around every part of the foot, they last a long time and dirt doesn't show. The only drawback is the laces which are a little too smooth and tend to come undone unless double knotted.

My son (6year old) was so excited to receive these shoes. He admired his feet in them shortly after they arrived and asked, "Do you think people will think we're rich, mom?" Um, why? "Because these shoes are so amazing!" And they are pretty amazing. Hip. Comfy. Go with anything from sweats to dress clothes. (In my opinion, anyway.) They fit his average feet well, and we have had no problems with blisters or uncomfortable rubbing, even in hot weather (and in a black, leather shoe!). My only complaint about them is the laces, which are made of a somewhat slick material, and don't seem to stay tied all that long when he is being wild and active. But that's easy enough to fix, simply by replacing the laces.

I felt misled by the description of "leather and synthetic upper" -- this is a plastic shoe. It's disappointing, frankly. I don't expect to pay this price for plastic, which is not breathable and inferior for an athletic shoe. My son loves the shoes, though, and since he'll wear them for a limited part of the day (gym class at school), I let him keep them. I really hope Adidas goes back to using quality materials.
