Customer Reviews adidas Originals Samba® Suede

These shoes got me a lot of compliments and they are a great summer shoe.

This shoe makes me happy every time I wear it. It's red enough that is attracts attention but it's a tasteful red so I don't feel self conscious about it. It's a comfortable fit, love the gold embellishments.

Extremely comfortable and so stylish that you FEEL like you're cooler just for wearing them. They get many compliments.

This is my second pair and I absolutely love them. Very classy pair of shoes.

My dog has, over time, eaten all of my sneakers so it is time for a new pair. I am a girl and ordered a pair of Samba Millenniums and a pair of Samba Original Suedes. I am a women's size 9 and went back and forth about what size I should order but I ended up getting a 7½ in both. The Millenniums actually physically look a little longer but they seem to fit more narrow in the toe and feel a bit snug. I will have to break them in. The Originals seem wider in the toe and already fit great. Both are fine in length it is just the Millennium narrow toe that I am hoping will go away after a few wears because they feel like better shoes. Millennium has more arch support but both are OK. The Originals do squeak on hard wood - this might stop after they get a little dirty? All in all I am a very happy buyer! I am Just reporting as I read helpful reviews which I used to make my decisions before buying. Now if I can just remember to keep the new kicks up and away from the pup when not on my feet! Otherwise, I will be back for more very soon.

Love these shoes. They look great with jeans and they're pretty comfortable. Only problem I had was they gave me blisters for the first few days, but they're broken in now and totally comfortable. I would recommend getting some suede protector and spraying on a few coats just to keep them clean and dry.

These shoes are great. I love the original Samba design and the great suede and color combination. Most of all I can wear these all day in comfort.

Never bought shoes over internet before but selection was great and shoes arrived quickly. I wish I got half size bigger for walking but played on turf and felt OK. They shall brake-in now nicely.

I absolutely love the style of this shoe and have been wearing similar styles for years! I normally wear a size 10 in womens and this shoe feels half a size larger. I'll just wear thicker socks rather than return them. As for the width, it's perfect for me, but I can see where a man might consider it too narrow. The arch support isn't non-existent, but it is minimal like other shoes of this style.

I really love these shoes. I got them in the suede cardinal red. They for the most part are comfortable. I have always wanted a pair of Sambas, but just couldn't find the right color combination until now. I have always loved suede material, so when I saw that these came in suede I just had to get these. Zappos as always, provided me with great customer service. The shoes arrived in excellent condition. I knocked a star off overall, because I felt that adidas chose a horrible material to use for the tongue on these shoes. It's a really stiff, almost like plastic material that cuts into your ankle. They should have used suede for the tongue as it would have been a softer material and would have made the shoes much more comfortable. As with these types of minamalistic designed shoes, they do run a bit narrow and smaller. I ordered a half size up from my normal size, 9.5, to 10. There really isn't any arch support but just looking at the pictures you would already know that. Other than the stiff tongue, these shoes were comfortable right out of the box. I am very happy with these stylish kicks and hope they last a long time.

For my tastes, I found the shoe a little too low in profile, with a very flat heel. It feels like the proper size, but is narrow in the toe, and I have narrow feet. I find most Adidas athletic shoes to be instantly broken in and comfortable. This shoe just isn't as comfortable as other Adidas I own (mostly basketball style shoes).

Brown like the mud

Great shoe and great colors ... It's just a pitty you can't but a pair of shoes without feeling guilty about the conditions the shoe was made in and the quality of life of the people who made it.

This shoe is great for weight lifting. very durable, no heel, flexible, and versatile. On to more important news: Zappos RULES. customer service, customer service, customer service. And it all starts with their awesome culture built on real company core values. Courtesy of Tony (CEO) and other teammates. THANK YOU zappos for being such a cool and quality company.

Love these shoes. The colors aren't super loud. I bought a suede protectant to spray on and that seems to help the life. I put insoles in to help with arch support, but I do that with most of my sneakers.

Very cute shoe. Easy to slip on and off. These are now my stylish go-to weekend shoes.

Adidas' Samba shoes are awesome and Zappos has a great selection at amazing prices. This particular pair is very comfortable. 10/10. The last 10 or more pairs of shoes I've owned have come from Zappos. My favorite site/the best site to purchase shoes.

Love these. I've owned many Sambas but until now have only ever been happy with the old style (long tongue) black and white and the discontinued Samba K (kangaroo leather). However, these are GREAT. They seem to have got the tongue figured out. The shoes themselves are comfy. And the rear inner isn't cheap tearable cloth, like the black and white ones. That has always been a problem because when it wears down it leaves a hard plastic piece that sticks into your heal. These don't look like they're going to have that problem. They look great. I was worried, because I usually prefer a gum sole, but these look amazing. They fit like any other Adidas, which is to say, they run maybe half a size small.

Too expensive, but the ole lady was happy. Order arrived on X-mas eve with out stress!

These are the best shoes ever! Not only do these totally awesome shoes of maroon and gold complete my ensemble of Arizona State University attire, they are totally comfortable, too!

A comfortable shoe. I have been wearing Sambas for a few years. I wear them all day everyday as my long hours of work require being on my feet almost always. These shoes feel softer than the Samba classic. The sole is amazing. Good grip, non slip. I will probably wear Sambas to my grave. Thank you Zappos for the excellent service.

So these fit a little differently than they did a few years ago. I had to order the 1/2 size smaller. The ones in the same size as my 2011 ones my toes were swimming around in width and length. In the smaller ones the toes fit perfectly. I suggest ordering 2 pair and seeing the difference. Zappos was great about the exchange part. They sent the smaller ones fast and then I could compare. Sweet.

These are very comfortable, they fit just right and they are fine to walk in. Most importantly, they inspire one to channel Elvis. What could be better than that?

These sneakers are wicked awesome! My 13 year old daughter loves them. The colors are very cool and the suede makes them comfy right out of the box (we wear the same size, so I tried them on). This is her second pair of suede sambas. The fit is great, even with a narrow, harder to fit foot. These run a bit narrow. Men's 6 worked fine for women's 7-7.5.

This shoe is PERFECT! I have been contemplating getting a pair of Sambas for years now ever since my friends recommended them to me. They are so COMFY! I love them. If you are contemplating about this shoe, get it, you won't be sorry. Definitely look at the sizing chart and measure your foot properly so that way you get that perfect fit.
