Customer Reviews adidas Samba® Millennium

Great shoes and a nice upgrade from the classic sambas, which I’ve been buying for years. I was tired of the Classic Sambas wearing out (especially in the heel) and having little support. I went with the same size and they fit perfectly. Only major concern that I have with them is that they’re biting up my heels terribly! Hopefully they’ll soften up soon. If not for the heel trouble, they’d be the perfect shoe.

I used to wear the Samba original a lot when I was younger so when I was looking for a shoe that I could wear casually, play indoor soccer in, and do some light running, I bought these. The shoes look and feel great; I had to return the first size I bought because they were a half-size too small (I wear a 9 for running shoes but 9.5 for these). I would recommend these shoes to a friend and would recommend Zappos to anyone for their great service!

A while to get used to it... But THE BEST! I have played indoor soccer most of my life. I always have got adidas but this is the first time I bought the Samba. I love it but I did had to get used to it, especially because he back part of the shoe is kind of hard when it is new... but is still the best soccer shoe I have gotten (way better than the predators).

Gave me blisters on the heals.

The size scale is completely off. I wear a women's 10, but when I ordered it, the shoe was probably a size or two too large.

Love the look of this shoe, but had to return it. My husband said the fit was too narrow and was pinching his toes. Never had this problem with the regular Sambas.

Purchased these for my son in a men's 13.5. He has a high arch, but can usually wear a medium width in Adidas. The length was fine, but the shoe was very tight in width. This style has a narrow, sleek profile, so if you tend to need a little more room for width or arch reasons, you may find this shoe tight. Will have to return, but am grateful to have Zappos since he has now entered sizing that is difficult to find in stores.

I'm really disappointed in these shoes, unfortunately. I ordered a women's 7.5 and they are true to size. They are so cool looking but the construction at the heel is going to cause blisters, I fear. They're also a bit heavy. I'm going to have to send them back. I love the look of adidas and I'm not at all happy about it.

Really love the style. And it fits well (bought Womens 7.5). But at the heel it's really stiff and I get the feeling it would hurt to walk in. Unfortunately they're going back. Really disappointed.

Zappos is awesome & convenient. I've always had good customer service from them. Now, these shoes I like, but they are a little more narrow than I expected.

I was forced to retire my beloved Samba classics after about 8 years. My mother-in-law mistakenly got me a pair of these milleniums for Christmas to replace them. It was a thoughtful gift, and they looked awesome, so I gave them a shot. They are probably the least comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They were extremely stiff and stayed that way for the short time (two months or so) that I could stand to wear them. I had hoped that I could break them in, but the sides of the shoe were rubbing my ankle bones raw every time I wore them for awhile or did a lot of walking. Everytime I think I may be unfairly comparing them to my old Samba bunny slippers, mom comes to visit, I am forced to wear them again like an ugly sweater, and my hatred for them returns. For the sake of your marriage, stick with the classics. Seriously.

Good shoe so far. Might have been able to get the the 1/2 size smaller, but that shoe had an issue with the left shoe.

I am really disappointed in the Samba Millennium. Maybe it\'s because I am a woman, and these shoes were designed for men. The only problem was that the heel came up too high on me, causing pain around my ankle and a blister at the Achilles. If the heel cup was more appropriately sized for a woman, this would be a perfect shoe. I wear other Addidas, but ones that are made for women.

A mild Achilles’ biter... Though not as bad as some other shoes I have had in the past, these Adidas come up just past my ankle joint and tend to dig into the flesh there as I walk. They have a tiny bit of padding, but they aren't shoes I will be able to wear for long walks, unless I want blisters.

I have both Samba Classics and Originals in 9.5 so I ordered these in 9.5 but when they arrived they were physically about a half size larger than my other Sambas when I compared them side by side, which was annoying because I'd expect sizing consistency from a company like Adidas. Zappos helped me get a size 9 almost immediately which was very awesome of them but unfortunately even though they fit this time, they were so uncomfortable that they left me with a sore on the back of my foot after about 5 minutes of walking. Comparing the size 9 Millenniums to the 9.5 Originals and Classics showed they were the same length. Overall I wouldn't recommend these, they look fantastic but that's about it, they're terrible to wear and walk around in. I ended up ordering another pair of Originals, hoping theses issues are isolated to hear shoes and that Adidas didn't change the other styles. Thankfully Zappos has been amazing and quick helping me sort this out.

Once I receive these I just couldn't get over the extra large stripes and triagulated black logo above the toes. I refuse to be a walking billboard which used to be a cool and subtle shoe. This shoe design needs a do over.

If you've got wide & flat feet like me these Adidas are going to be very uncomfortable! I'm not sure if they've got to be "broken in" but right out of the box they are stiff and downright painful to wear. On the plus side they look great.

I usually wear a size 12. I got these in a 12.5 and they're still too tight. Worse than that, the shape of the shoe actually hurts my feet after wearing them for a day. I've been wearing Sambas for 20 years with no problems but these are no good. I'm dropping them off at Goodwill and just hoping they don't continue to hurt people.

I ordered these shoes for indoor soccer. I wear a women's size 9, and bought this shoe in mens 7/womens 8 - and they are still too big. I didn't think they'd be too bad, but after a few games in them that extra space in the toe box is -literally- tripping me up. Too late for me to return them. Otherwise, the shoe is well made and attractive, and great for indoor soccer.

These shoes look great and I wanted to love them, but there is something odd about the fit. I tried them on at home. After two minutes, I noticed my ankle-length socks were being pulled down in the back. After seven minutes, my socks had slipped off my heels and the shoes had eaten them completely. I tried tightening the laces, lacing them differently, etc., to no avail. This has never happened to me with any other shoes, so I am convinced that it is the shoes and not my feet. I am happy that other people love them, though!

This is the first pair of shoes I've ever owned that made my feet bleed! They seemed to fit, but just a bit of rubbing at the back where the shoes rise higher than most led to raw Achilles tendons on both feet. :( As others mentioned, I bought a bigger size than usual, but the same size as my Asics running shoes.

Didn't feel the women's sizing to select on the app was inaccurate. They showed up way too big. Nice looking shoe though! But it said 6.5m was also 7.5w. Going by that was way off. Will return and try again 2 sizes smaller.

Look Good? Yes. Feel Good? No. Bandaids included? No - your achilles tendons will need them. Adidas, your worst. Result - returned.

I got a pair of these a couple of years back for everyday wear and indoor soccer. They were the worst shoes I\'ve ever had. They\'re the only shoe that can give me shin splints just from walking around. Avoid!
