Customer Reviews adidas Originals Samba

Another adi classic done right - The 1980s samba gets a nice treatment here with a clean, low profile and small tongue. I got the blue / gold combo and was surprised it actually felt a half size larger than normal, perhaps due to the suede having more give than leather. The tread grips really well but the outsole is thinner than the gazelles - thus it feels minimal but adequate in terms of support. They look really sharp with jeans and the color ways are all spot on (except maybe that 'vapor' one). Zappos service is excellent; I've purchased, returned and exchanged with no problems and quick delivery every time. A must for any adi sneakerhead.

So money - Love these shoes; I’ve bought 'em in red once and black 4 four times so far. Never done me wrong.

These shoes were a bit uncomfortable at first, but they break in. I got the white with blue stripes and put black shoelaces in them, and they couldn’t look better! Also fit EXACTLY true to size.

Very good gripping, design different from the usual but very hot inside. Could have a better breathe system, in less than 1 hour your feet are sweating.

I had these shoes for about two weeks. I was impressed by their look in person. When I put them on, I noticed how stiff the tongue was. It was so stiff it was actually breaking the skin of my foot where it touches me. I had to pull up my short socks so the shoe wouldn't touch me. The shoes also give almost no support and I had to put in insoles because my feet were hurting from walking around campus.

Sweet Sambas - Yet another shoe success scored from Zappos! I love the look of these and have received so many compliments on the color (green and white). The only reason why I rated them a 4 in comfort is because the leather upper is still quite stiff and the heel is rather high and rubs against my Achilles a little. Over time, I know they will relax and become as comfortable as my old Sambas.

These are great shoes, but I found it uncomfortable to walk in them for more than a couple of hours, as they have no arch support and very little cushioning. Apart from that, though, they're very comfy shoes.

Awesome. These shoes a very good, if not the best I have. They are very stylish, comfortable, and have excellent arch support. For all you soccer players out there I highly recommend these. GO CHARGERS!

Excellent - This is great shoe. Adidas last a long time, and keep as one piece unlike Nike... I love these shoes. Yet they run narrow so grab wides if u know u need wider shoes.

Adidas Original Sambas - Very cool looking Original Adidas! Very comfortable, nice colors, cool style etc... MAY look a bit like a bowling shoe in my opinion, but in the end its just first negative thoughts, they are absolutely FINE! May feel a half size smaller if wearing sports socks... if you wear thin socks they fit perfectly. And if you are very wide footed you might want to buy a half size bigger to a full size bigger, but otherwise it’ll stretch a tiny bit.

They run smaller than Samba Classics - Great looking shoe - a Samba that doesn't have the large tongue of the classic and available in more color combinations than the traditional white over black. Be warned though that these - in my Men's 10 1/2, at least - run half a size smaller than the standard Samba Classic soccer shoe. I went from a 10 1/2 Classic to the same size in these, and I think I'm going to send them back for some 11s.
