I'm a solid Women's 7.5. That's the size I ordered from the pull-down menu. Just tried them on, and they're ginormous. I'll be exchanging for a smaller size, but have no idea what to order now!

These Sambas look great! The brown suede is beautiful! When I got these shoes they were a bit uncomfortable. But when you get used to them they are so comfortable. These are great looking shoes and I would like to have the whole collection of Sambas!

Not only are these shoes comfortable, they are eye-catching. When I wear them, somebody almost always asks, 'Oooo, where did you get those?' And I always say, 'Zappos. It was my first time dealing with them and they were great.'

It certainly is what purported to be. Reasonably comfortable though not a terrible lot of support, but the price was good. Delivery was expeditious I would order again.

Absolutely loved the style of the shoes, the color and the brown soles. In general I think adidas fits a little snug and next time I would order up a half size to allow for a bit more room for the tip of my toes. The tongue of the shoe also took a bit of getting used to, it's a little stiff, but it has broken in quickly. Now that they are more broken in I find them incredibly comfortable and they hold up to my walking-heavy commute around the city.

Great classic shoe. The red looks good, and isn't fire-engine red, its more subdued, lots of compliments on these!

I ordered this for my son. This is his second pair of Adidas Samba suede. He wanted to get a different color this time. It is comfortable and stylish. They shipped it so fast.

The sizing feels true and the fit is similar to the Converse All Star. I wouldn't recommend using these at a game but they work for practice and simple everyday activity. I purchased the cardinal /bliss variety and the suede is holding up well so far.

My son loves these. After ordering several other pair to give these a rest, he still wears these nearly every day.

Just as expected...light, comfortable, and red. Actually, the red is slightly darker than the picture would lead you to believe...maroon, even. Still looks good! The tongue is actually separated into three parts, and on one of the shoes did require some work before it was broken in. Doesn't take away, though.

These are the King of Casual Shoes as far as I'm concerned. I owned multiple pair. Comfy right out of the box, durable, and classic style. Low rise and sturdy heel also make them a good choice for weightlifting.

I was so stoked to find these. I had been looking for brown Sambas for a while and thought that I would have to custom order. They shipped out fast and arrived exactly as described and pictured.

Awesome shoe! The color is off a tiny bit from the picture...but this is a good thing. It is more of a varsity red. Definitely darker with a hint of plum? Super cool. I indicated that they felt true to size but Samba's always feel a little long to me. I ordered an 11 but I think the 10.5 might have worked.

Adidas Sambas are an eternal classic. These shoes will never go out of style. I love the new color combinations that keep coming, but my favorite was the black suede with the turquoise stripes, too bad it was discontinued. These shoes look great with jeans, shorts, etc and are comfortable to wear all day long.

I recently read that a woman should have a pair of red shoes in our wardrobe. So I searched Zappos and found these. A great pair of casual kicks for the money. Well made in cardinal red suede and comfy. I wear a woman's size 8.5 and in this case it equates to a man's size 7. As always, Zappos shipped them right away.

Great shoes. Bought them for my son and they fit perfectly. They do have little to no arch support, so for athletes with high arches I recommend Birkenstock's insoles to go with these shoes. They're very comfortable and good for casual, running, or soccer. Great Originals by Adidas.

Stylish retro feel. Definitely not a sneaker. Wear them as you would wear a shoe. While they fit comfortably, there is no arch support. If you have flat and/or pronated feet, you'll feel it after a few blocks. Have not tried over the counter supports yet. Would not recommend wearing in rain, even with waterproofing.

These are great shoes right outta the box (my second pair) I wore these for a martial arts belt test that was four and a half hours, and they were very comfortable even when running on the pavement. They look as good as they perform!

My son loves these shoes. He wanted to get the same ones with white stripes but those are impossible to find now. He really liked these too and maybe more now. Super comfortable everyday shoes. He narrow feet with little to no arch.

I absolutely love these shoes! I wear them to work with Khakis on days that I am on my feet all day. My feet never get tired and I can get around quickly. I got the khaki color.

This is a great shoe. Personally, I thought the break in time took a little longer than I thought. But once these puppies were broken in, the suede was so soft and flexible, fit like a glove. I find the heel is a little narrower and runs a little higher than those familiar with wearing the Puma Ligas, however, as far as comfort, they are tied with the Ligas both of these shoes are my favorites. In general I like gum rubber soles and indoor soccer shoes to keep me minimal and keep me grounded. they move with me and are an extension of me. Gotta love 'em. Adidas Sambas, a classic all around, no matter which one you go with or which color/s you pick!

Puma Liga, any Adidas Sambas in addition to the Suede

Get a compliment every time I wear them! The logo on the back is kind of a little jacked up, but doesn't bother me. You can see it fine, one is just a wee bit lower than the other shoe.

I play street soccer and freestyle on hard ground about 4-5 times a week. these shoes break in really well. They have not ripped or even started to show signs of potential holes.

Took me a little time to like this shoe, usually wear the Puma Liga suede's, but I got the gray ones and loves the old school Sambas and they took, it seems, forever to break them in. But now they are broken in and I love them. With jeans, corduroys, shorts, you name it, they go anywhere with everything. I wear them bike riding even. I think I even find this lsuede more supple than my beloved couple of pairs of the Puma Ligas. All in all, give your shoe some time to wake up and conform to your foot, let the suede break in and, vioila, you'll have the perfect shoe!

Puma Liga or Sala, any other Adidas Sambas
