We've purchased Sambas for my soccer-loving kids ever since they were able to walk. This purchase was for my 10-year old daughter who still loves them. She is now playing Futsal which is in a gym and requires no-skid soles. These are perfect for that, for indoor and for just casual wear.

Love it! My son loves these shoes. When he saw that Shia Labeouf from Transformers 2 had them for the movie, he wanted another pair. He says they are comfortable and fit perfect.

This is a great, stylin' shoe! My son is seven and he was thrilled when these arrived the next day after I ordered them - thank you Zappos! He is wearing a 1/1.5 right now, but I ordered them in a 2 to allow for growth this summer. They fit true to size. They have a narrow, sleek Euro look to them and he tells me they are comfortable. I can't attest to their durability yet, but will keep all informed if I'm not satisfied.

A great looking shoe. Loved the red stripes with the traditional black Adidas background. The leather is a little stiff and needs some breaking in but didn't seem to bother my son. Also arch support and cushion is moderate to none. My 7 year old son just loves these. As a mom they seem to be a great everyday shoe.

These are great shoes! My son is a classic kid. but the old school styling keeps him cool. They fit great, hold up well and I love the red. It stands out from all the other boys.

My son loves the shoe and they look really cool with all the straight leg pants that are in style this season. I originally ordered the Samba Classics and they were too narrow, but apparently these are the Samba Originals and they fit just fine and run wider than the classics. I did read a review that they squeak a bit when walking and this is true! I think it get less and less as they wear in. All in all, cute versatile shoe.

These are really cute shoes...and I am very picky. I got them for my 6 year old son and he loves them. He says they are very comfortable and I love the way the look on him. They are worth the money.

My son really likes his shoes. The fit was good, maybe a little on the larger size. They are stylish and look great with the new skinny and straight leg jeans for boys. They do squeak a little which is weird but overall, he is enjoying his shoes.

I bought these shoes for my 9 year old son for indoor soccer. He has wide feet so he liked how the leather upper stretches to fit him comfortably. He\'s really hard on his shoes. He wore them to school and over the summer when he outgrew his running shoes and they\'ve held up great. I agree with another parent, the laces are a bit short.

Love the style of shoe for my 6 year old son, but they are very stiff and laces pretty short, making it a bit difficult for him to tie.

Very narrow, my son always been happy with Adidas Samba, but when you buy size 10½ or over they become very narrow and not as flexible as the smaller sizes.

As of Feb. 2010, the laces on these shoes are at least 4 inches too short, which means for my 7 year old, the laces were always coming out of the lace holes. (He has to change his shoes to boots twice a day at school.) Then the laces would completely fray, which means you cannot stick the laces back through the hole. Fraying shoe laces were a huge nightmare. I returned one pair, got another, and the same thing happened within 2 weeks.

Straight up awesome shoes. I've accidentally purchased 2 other pairs of the synthetic leather sambas in black previous to these. The black ones are adorable and also come in leather, but it wasn't until I purchased these that I realized my mistake on previous orders. The leather on these is so soft and I actually think they feel lighter than the synthetic version of the sambas. I was nervous they'd be heavy. The royal blue is gorgeous! We love these shoes. We did switch out the white laces to cute neon ones. My son is 7, loves Sambas in general because he can run super fast and has great control on quick maneuvering. I love them because they are stylish, comfortable, lightweight, quality shoes that always look good. A great bonus is that the interior pad comes out so you can check his foot size to know when it's time to move up. I never feel like the "show me where your toe is" thing works.

These shoes are our favorite. Second time I bought them for my 8-year old. He loves them. They go well with a casual or dressier outfit, but he can also kick the ball around on them (since soccer is a 24/7 thing, this is a criteria). They run true to size. My son has a slightly narrow foot.

Durable, cute and well made. My son is 4 years old and very active. I wanted a shoe he could climb playground equipment in without slipping, the traction on this worked wonderful. He climbed with plenty of support. My son also has a wide foot and these did not squeeze his feet. Overall we are happy with product, only issue is a bit pricey for child's shoe.

Awesome! I ordered a 5 but they were too small, I was thinking they were going to charge me shipping to exchange them and they did not. Which made it all better so I sent them back the 5 and they sent me a 5 1/2 super quick! Thank you Zappos I love these Adidas. Super comfy.

We got this for indoor soccer. My son likes them and they seem comfortable for him - no complaints. He does have a wide foot and adidas sneakers seem to work for him.

Ordered these for my little boy, size 10.5. I thought they were awesome, nice leather material. I guess I wanted them more than he did, so I am sending them back with Zappos awesome return service. I will just let my little opinionated man pick his own shoes out...which will show up the next day! Thanks Zappos for making my life so simple...at least the shoe buying part!

Great looking shoe. My son loves them. Adidas comes with insert that you simply slip out and have your child stand on to tell if sizing is correct. I wish all shoes came with this.
