Customer Reviews adidas Originals Samba® Leather

Classic shoe for any casual purpose. Comfortable without loosing its sleek look. Also a great shoe to play indoor soccer with.

I got these primarily to wear as street shoes, and they have been exactly what I hoped for - comfortable and stylish. There has been the dreaded rubbing sound, but that has decreased with each wear to the point where it is not annoying anymore.

Comfortable with just the right amount of arch support and not so little as the Converse All Stars, which caused me some pain after lots of walking, but not so much as walking shoes, which I find uncomfortable. All-around great shoe, with great quality, too.

Nice shoes. They seem more durable than the other Sambas with the long tongue (I think those may be fake leather). The shoe seems durable enough. Unlike the other Sambas, the back of the heel on the inside of the shoe is leather and not fabric, so it won't get torn up after sliding your foot in the shoe one too many times.

This shoe never gets old! Whether you play indoor soccer or just like the style, these are a must have. These shoes are durable; lasting multiple seasons whether its game play, or casual. Most people I know will have a pair last them at least a couple of years with mild to moderate wear.

I love these shoes! Like what other reviews are saying, the tongue is stiff when you first wear it and squeaks but it's not that big of a deal. The shoes are super comfortable and the blue and red details make you look semi dressy even if you are wearing jeans and a hoody.

Narrower than marked on! But it was absolutely fit on me! And it really goes with casual pants if you want to make it fashionable style! Just take this on! Go out! 100% guarantee!

Love these. Have had Sambas for years- when the sole cracked on my last pair- I got a replacement. They're stylish, comfortable and can be worn with anything!

I bought these in a size 9 for my boyfriend. He's been a Samba fan forever, having played soccer in high school and college. In fact, these were a replacement for a pair he'd been wearing (not for soccer, anymore) for over two years. They last a long time, and break in easily. The leather is high quality, the sole is low-pro, and the look is just so classic. Great shoe. Note - he normally wears an 8 1/2, so be prepared to size up a half size for these.

These shoes are as comfortable as they are functional; however, as others have mentioned they do take a little bit of breaking in. Lotion does wonders to stop the initial squeaking.

A great, comfortable shoe. I think the fit is true to size. Not a lot of arch support... but still comfortable for a lot of walking. They do squeak a little bit as they are breaking in; a bit of leather conditioner where the tongue rubs against the shoe itself helps. I sprayed a heavy coat of leather/suede protector before wearing for the first time... they look great even after fighting rain and puddles.

My son loves these shoes. Very stylish and comfortable. The one issue he has is that his jeans tend to bleed on to the leather. Not enough of a problem to lessen the love! Will purchase again.

I love these shoes. Will need a few days to break in but are very nice. Squeaks a little. Would love more sole base support for cushioning but can't beat classic style. Completed my trio Jack Parcells, All-stars, and now Samba

These have been my tried-and-true indoor soccer turf shoes for over 20 years. Affordable and wear well. I tried others and just went back to Sambas. Also noticed lately that people are wearing Sambas as regular shoes - so apparently a good fashion choice these days too.

The Sambas are one of the best shoes I've ever owned. They're very durable, pretty comfortable, have a great design, and it's a classic so people know how amazing they are. My only issue with them is when you first get them they're a bit squeaky, but after sometime the bottom of the shoes will get it's grip.

This shoe is awesome. Leather backing on the inside should really help it not wear out. Very true to size. Little squeaky for a couple days. After you break them in (only takes a couple days) they are amazingly comfortable.

Love this shoe! This is my second pair that I am getting. They take some breaking in and eventually the squeaking does go away. I love this shoe because it looks nice and its not bulky. I usually wear a woman's size ten and I got a man's size 8.5.

Sambas are over and over a good choice and they will never go out of style. Zappos rocks, best customer service 5+ stars from me!!

Nice pair of shoes, goes well with anything from athletic to casual. Order your regular size as this fits very true to size.

My son loves this shoe. We buy it every year. It has minimal arch support -- which we adore -- since he has incredibly flat feet. It's perfect.

Fantastic shoe for classic style and basic comfort. They were quite noisy/squeaky at first and still are a bit squeaky after a few weeks (where the tongue rubs against the rest of the shoe). Getting them wet helps in this regard, but who wants to walk around in wet shoes, albeit quite ones.

GREAT shoe. Wearing them now. The day I got them, I wore them to Great America, no pain, no sore feet!! I would recomend to anyone. And they look awesome!

My 5th grade son loves these shoes. They are quite durable and comfortable. My son says he has to break them in by wearing a few times, then they are great.

Love this shoe. I've traveled through most of Europe and SE Asia with a pair and they are sturdy and stylish. Semi-water proof but don't try and walk through a monsoon. Very bummed I can't find them in all black leather anymore.

These shoes are very comfortable. They run true to size, in my opinion, and they are stylish. I get compliments all the time since they are classics. I did encounter the squeaky noise from the tongue rubbing on the inner leather of the shoe. As recommended by others, just rub some lotion on the tongue and that takes care of it.
