I love Adidas, have several pairs and have been wearing them forever. These remind me of a certain very pricey Italian brand and get lots of compliments!

Awesome shoe but squeaky! I don't know what to do I love these shoes but they just won't stop squeaking and very annoying.

Pros, look great. Pretty comfortable. Great traction. Cons, I would not recommend wearing these shoes for indoor soccer due to the fact that, after only 2 games, parts of the outside have worn out and now look grayish and completely different from the rest of the shoe. Leather squeaks for about 2 days, but not that big of deal Bottom Line: Great looking and feeling shoes if you don't use them for soccer.

Excellent shoe. If purchasing for women, order a half size smaller. The heel of the shoe seems to slip off until it is broken in; after a few days fit is great.

I bought these shoes and got em a day later! gotta love Zappos. the shoes look great for day to day wear, sophisticated yet stylish. apparently they're soccer shoes but nobody can even tell. color looks a little lighter in real life but they look sick. would definitely recommend buying especially for this great price!

Bought these to replace the Beckenbauer All-Around Sambas that I've been wearing for years after I started busting out of the sides, feels exactly the same. Narrow width was expected, the leather stopped squeaking after a week or so.

Couldn't get these to stop squeaking, so I can never wear them. They've just taken up space in my closet the past year because I can't wear them anywhere, people have ears.

Comfortable and stylish. They look good with jeans. Only complaint I have is they are very hot, they don't breathe at all. Other than that, they are great shoes. I was worried about how long they would stay clean, but so far smudges and grime have been easy to wipe off with a damp rag. As always Zappos service was perfect.

These are awful. I had an old pair of Sambas for five years and they were the most comfortable shoes that I ever owned. When they fell apart I ordered a new pair but discovered the tongue was too long and rubbed my leg so I returned them and got these. The biggest problem with these shoes is that they squeak loudly! I was asked not to wear them back to my college class. They also re-designed the back so that it now rubs your ankle raw. Awesome. Thanks for ruining a great design. I only hope Zappos will refund me since I wore then for about half an hour. I could not take the pain after that.

I love the look of these shoes. They're extremely stylish, but it's been really hard breaking them in because, as others have said, they're very squeaky for some reason. After the squeakiness goes away they're great!

One problem with these shoes is that they squeak too much and are very loud. I hope this goes away with time because other than that they are cool looking shoes and go with anything you wear.

Got these about two weeks ago, and while I LOVE the shoe itself, I have to mention that it squeaks horribly while walking in them. The tongue rubs up against the leather on the inside and causes a loud annoying squeak anytime you move your feet. I was able to get rid of the squeak by putting tape on the sides of the tongue, but part of me wonders why this is such a big problem with this shoe? Didn't they test it out with people to avoid these types of things? Other than this, I'm super happy with the shoe, it's comfortable and sturdy. Just wish it were quieter!

Very fresh looking shoes, love them. However: I'm a woman who normally wears a 7 (equals man's 6 according to Zappos), had to return and order a woman's 6.5 (man's 5.5) to get a good fit. My advice: if you are a woman, size 1/2 size down. Thanks to Zappos fantastic return policy, it wasn't really a problem though.

Not bad, but not as good as the original long tongue Sambas. The materials feel cheaper. Less leather and more synthetic. Hopefully they will improve as they become more broken in.

My 12 year old son plays soccer and when not on the field -- he wears his Sambas!! He loves them, they are comfortable and durable. They stay relatively clean and look neat. I love the Zappos price and fast shipping.

I love these shoes! They are what I would call properly fitting shoes. Although, that may be because my feet are shaped in the way these shoes are made. My only gripe is that the shoes are a little noisy, but hey, they're leather.

Simply a classic Adidas shoe that looks good playing indoor soccer or simply hitting up the bars. Definitely must have for anyone's shoe collection.

I think these shoes look real good, and they are pretty comfortable, but they are incredibly squeaky. I have completely broken them in, and the squeaking is not getting any better. It is embarrassing to wear them indoors because they make such a sound.

I needed something comfortable to wear to work every day because I stand for 8 hours. I purchased these on a suggestion from a friend at work. I love these shoes. They were comfortable enough to wear all day as soon as they arrived.

They look good, but they hurt your shin a little bit. The biggest problem, and the reason why I gave it 2 stars, was because they squeak. These shoes are not designed well. The toe and the inside of the shoe are both leather, so when you do anything they make a horrible squeaking sound. I do recommend these shoes, but in a different material.

I walked around NYC in these for a week right after I got them, and I looked cool. They get more comfy after a few days, but never get as so as my new Pumas started. Still I'm glad to put them on almost daily And they squeak. Huh?
