Overall I'm totally pleased with these and would recommend. Very stylish and cool! The tongue is crazy large but that doesn't bother me too much. They are a bit heavy but that's ok. They would make good soccer shoes and I may use them for that.

Awesome shoe, even though it fits about a half size too small. The style and quality are amazing on this shoe. One day I'll purchase a half size up, but I'm just waiting for these bad boys to wear out, which may not ever happen...

You can't get any more classic than this! These give anything you wear a cool look and they're comfortable and durable.

Nice shoe, but narrow. I wear size 12. I had originally bought a 12.5 based on earlier reviews. Even after break-in, the left shoe hurt. I just bought a 13 in hopes it would be better, but alas, the longer shoe didn't help. These are just too narrow for a wider foot.

First of all this shoe looks amazing!! Better than u can see in pictures. I have always worn the adidas originals samba, campus, and gazelles with out issue. However after one day with these I had major pain and irritation on back of my Achilles area. Hopefully they get better with time.

Great looking shoe, but just too tight for my foot. I'm a Nike size 11 and this was the right length, but just never got comfortable. I found perfection in Puma as a replacement for this style of shoe.

These are what you see is what you get, except the sizing. I wear a womens 7.5 and this I had to order in a womens 6.5 and it was perfect.

I love the look of these! I went for 1/2 size longer than normal in hopes that they would fit better than then my other Adidas soccer shoes such as the Samba Classic. It helped, but they are still narrow and slightly uncomfortable when I wear them all day. I've worn them about 6 times, so time will tell after they (I hope) stretch some more.

These are great shoes, but if you're a woman you will need to size down considerably. I'm a size 8 woman's and I originally ordered an 8. They were too big, so I returned them and got a 7.5. I still felt they were too big. These are men's shoes, so they will be wide to start with. I didn't return the 7.5, but I gave them to my daughter. I ended up ordering the Samba Originals for myself - lower sole and more feminine looking.

First off, this shoe is a rugged hardy Adidas sneaker that also happens to be very comfortable. I happen to be hard on shoes. I can that I will easily be wearing these shoes with jeans during walks, errands, etc... Looking practically brand new a year from now. It's got the timeless Adidas look that I love and know I will be enjoying the shoe for some time to come.

This is a great shoe store. If you know your size and what you want this is where to get it. As for the shoe this is my third pair. Ir fits great, breaks in quickly, and has above average durability. They lose arch support at the end of their usable life but when my feet hurt I know that it is time for a new pair.

I'm still not sure about these. I have rheumatoid arthritis, which takes a toll on my feet, especially my toes. I bought these shoes trying to wear something a bit more stylish than another brand I wear religiously. Definitely like the style! I ordered a half size up like everyone suggested. Because of the RA, I wore these around the house one entire day trying them out, but they rubbed my heel raw. (I don't wear socks due to the RA.) I don't know if it was the size or the high back that caused the rubbing, so I've returned for the half size smaller (which is my regular size). The jury is still out on this shoe. I'll update my review after trying the smaller size.

It was difficult to find the correct size. Womens sizing was a half size too big. Now that I have the right size, I love them. They are narrow in the toe, so that took some getting used to. They look awesome. I get all kinds of compliments.

I love these shoes but alas the men's 7 recommended for women's 8 was too large by at least a half size.
I also realized I might prefer the Original or classic due to color of rubber around out edge -- gray looks better to me.

Love these shoes! I have had several pairs of these shoes and they are very comfortable. Maybe not as comfortable as running or walking shoes but for the price you can't beat them!

Really like my Samba Millenniums. First pair and my teenager think the are nice, for me that is. I did have a problem with the sizing. First I ordered my true size, womens 7. It was way to big. Called in to customer service and was told to order a 5 1/2. They fit perfectly. One problem, you have to break them in. They tab on the back rubs hard on your achilles. I did not get any blisters but had to wear thick socks and it was annoying until they broke in.

This is a good shoe, although if you are expecting it to be a more supportive version of the regular, traditional Samba, you may be disappointed like I was. I thought it would be just as cushy and comfortable with more/better arch support. It has the arch support, but is not as cushy and comfy. I still like and kept them and they are good shoes, holding up well. Sometimes I get a little blister from the back rubbing my Achille's but it's usually just a problem with my socks being too short.

Overall the shoe is great, but it can do with more padding on the Heel/ankle support. the heel support digs in to back of the heel and upper ankle, that's why the first few days are very uncomfortable, but after rubbing oil and cream on it and wearing with thick socks, the ankle gets used to it.

I use the Sambas to play soccer indoors or on turf fields. Very comfortable and great ball control. Great classic look. Great shoes.

I'm a size 9 (Womens) but ordered the 9 1/2 and it fits perfectly. It seems to run 1/2 size smaller than stated. Arch support is not the best but it's nothing new insoles can't fix.

Excellent shoe for the price if you use it to play indoor soccer. These shoes are not designed for everyday wear and it shows, but a great beginner soccer shoe; also great for the semi-pro on a budget.

Sharp looking shoes; great construction. I enjoy just going about town casually or the the gym in them.
I play racquetball and work out in them. Only things I would say in a negative light is they can be a little narrow, and the heel area is very stiff and will chafe you the first week or two.

The shoe is awesome. I've only worn it once but no complaints so far. I use it for indoor soccer. It fits snug and makes ball control a lot easier.

Great delivery time! Great shoe! Just remember to break the shoe in a little before wearing it all day. The color white is super white, just a heads up. Also these tend to run a little narrow but not much.

I\'ve had the Samba Millennium shoes for a year, and they\'re holding up well. I did replace the insole a few months in for better comfort. The heel is very rough at first, my feet were very irritated for the first two weeks of wearing these until they were broken in. Make sure you wear thick socks at first, and check for irritation on long walks. After the break in period, I\'ve had no other complaints.
