I picked up the Espresso/Dark Sand version of these shoes. They look great, and they're comfortable. What more can be said?

These are my new favorites for driving a manual car. Great pedal feel and comfy for just hanging out. Time to order a few more pairs.

I get nothing but compliments on these shoes. I love the way they feel - good arch support, fantastic grip, and nice insoles. Even with the thin sole/insole, I don\'t feel like I\'m walking around barefoot.

I got these shoes as a gift, but would gladly buy them now that I have owned them. I\'ve had them for about six months and they look like I just took them out of the box, and I am decidedly unkind to my shoes. These are great, dependable shoes, and I think they will last me quite a while.

I bought these for my husband for his birthday. Our sons each had a pair and he was a little jealous. They're great shoes! He loves them.

Adidas makes a great shoe...dressy enough for work and play. We were most impressed with Zappos service-- The first shoes I ordered were too large but the replacements came within 5 days with no hassle. I\'m a Zappos customer for life.

The Sambas are fantastic. I got orange and blue ones. They feel great on your feet, and will never go out of style. This is my fourth pair. Highly recommended.

Your customer service is impeccable! That's what I look for when buying any products. I love your 365 day return policy with UPS packing slip included; makes life so much easier and give me peace in mind if I want to return something. Hate to haggle with company for a return; don't have the time. My feeling about you company is high and will shop you first always.

The shoes are great and very comfortable. The black ones ran a half to a whole size shorter than the blue. I would order your true size for the blue and order up for the black.

Good experience. Temporarily living in Yosemite National Park where mail takes a long time but I got my order very quickly. Shoes are great, not a problem at all with my experience. Will definitely use Zappos again.

Comfortable and stylish -
I work in a restaurant where I'm required to wear black shoes (these are close enough to satisfy my boss). I much prefer them to the normal clunky black leather shoes sold for kitchens. The fit is perfect, it didn't feel too big or too small. These types of shoes don't have a lot of cushioning, so if that is important to you I would recommend buying a half size larger and fitting the shoes with insoles.

I am a huge fan of Adidas Originals Samba shoes, they feel really great once you have broken them in and last a long time, and as soon as they are worn out I get another pair, best flat soled shoe I have found.

The Aididas Samba is a clean looking shoe. When I first bought them, they took a little awhile for my feet to get used to. Sambas have a comfortably in control feel.

Great shoe, very comfortable and can be worn for indoor soccer or anywhere. Zappos service was outstanding. Ordered a size 11. It arrived the next day, but was too big. Called about returning them for a 10.5. The 10.5s arrived the very next day. Zappos is the best!

I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I have been purchasing Adidas Sambas from Zappos.com for quite some time, and for once, I decided to get the white ones. If you have never worn Sambas before, be warned: the insole is flat, so if you’re used to a curvy interior, these will be a change. Otherwise I find these shoes very comfortable. The classic Adidas stripes with the leather and felt make the shoes very stylish and go well with any outfit. Buy a pair of black and/or white and you’ll never go wrong with looks. Great shoe!!!

These shoes are great. I had to buy a set of Superfeet inserts for them (plantar fasciitis), but I can stand and walk in them all day at work. Without the inserts there\'s not enough shock absorption or arch support, and the collars bite at my ankles. I like the shorter tongue of the shoe vs the long tongue of the original Samba, which always catches my pant leg. I love the way soccer shoes look, and the Sambas are a classic.

Zappos is my go to place for shoes: excellent customer service, no hassle online shopping, Zappos is the best! I bought these shoes for my husband; the color is great (blue) and they stood up to walking in Europe and look great still, even through the rain and mud.

The only problem I had was these shoes did squeak for a couple of weeks until they were broken in. Other than that, I wear them all the time and find them extremely comfortable.

These tennis shoes are beautiful and feel great. No break in period. They could have more support, but they are comfortable as they are. \r\nZappos service was as good as always.

When either of my college-age sons need shoes, I immediately think Zappos for the sheer convenience of shopping online with a reputable company. They constantly exceed my expectations with shipping times and pricing. There is no other place to buy quality shoes than Zappos.com My two sons are in the UW-Madison marching band and they get their Sambas and spikes from Zappos.

We only buy Adidas, but I\\\'m sure other brands are equally good.

I got the brown Sambas. They have a lot more arch support than the shoes I'm used to, so they hurt a bit during the break in period, but now that they are broken in they're really comfortable. And a sharp looking shoe as well.

True to size, comfortable & great for my son's Futsal training. If my 10 year old son could sleep in them, he would; they're that comfortable! Arrived on time, too.

I love this pair of shoes. I bought the navy blue suede ones and they are amazing. Not only do they look good new, but as they age they look even better. They are also very comfortable.

Zappos rocks! Super fast shipping! I love these shoes; this is my second pair (bought the black original sambas originally, and now I bought the white/green ones). Shoes take a week or two to break in. At first, caused some blisters on my achilles, but only because I was wearing no-show socks. After two weeks, they were broken in enough that blisters weren't an issue. Will be buying more colors of the sambas in the future. Fit true to size
