Got them for my daughter. She loves them, comfortable, stylish, and gets the job done. Good grip sole, perfect for indoor soccer and rough and tumble activities. Look great for school and any casual outing!

Impossible to get my teenage son to go try on shoes, so thought I'd give Zappos a shot. These fit perfectly and he's enjoying them. Perfect for everyday casual.

Classic style with a modern update. A great replacement for my last pair of classics.

My only complaint: The tongue rubs against the rest of the upper, leading to some squeaking noises. I think it's going away as I break them in. Other than that, great shoes.

Bought these for my 29 year old son. He has been wearing this shoe for about 8 years. He loves them - very comfortable and he likes the look.

Great shoes, very comfortable and nice looking. Con: it gets dirty from the front very fast, it's hard to clean.

This is my second pair of black Adidas Sambas. This is my first time replacing my sneakers with the same exact type. They fit well, they feel great - they're solid and sturdy in the way shoes are but comfortable and flexible like sneakers. And in my opinion they look really cool and match with everything. Also, this was my second time buying a pair of sneakers from Zappos and they didn't disappoint. They gave me a free expedited delivery so I got my sneakers the day after I ordered. Awesome.

The shoe overall is a great looking, comfortable shoe. This shoe has satisfied me in how great it looks. The only complaints I have are that the tongue and where your shoelaces go through rub together, creating a squeaking noise which goes away if you put some sort of shoe cleaner on it and rub off the "newness". The other complaint is that the the back of the shoe just kills my Achilles tendon, which I assume goes away after breaking it in. Overall: great shoe. Zappos of course deserves credit for A+ service and shipping.

My 10-year-old son loves these shoes! He has worn them every day for a month and they still look brand new. He wears an 8 in running shoes, but an 8 1/2 in Samba's. He says they're very comfortable and he loves the look, but the laces tend to come untied a lot. I would highly recommend Samba's, and especially this black and cobalt combo for the winter.

Very comfortable shoes. Wore them for indoor soccer practice the day after I got them. Didn't even need to break them in, they were great from the start.

As a Zappos fan but not customer of the last few years I was not worried at all that I would get what I was hoping for here. Great shoe, a little darker than shows in the images but exactly what I was looking for.

Currently I\'m on my second pair. These couldn\'t be more comfortable, and should be a staple in anyone\'s closet. I will always have a pair.

As always, Zappos provides wonderfully accurate photos. The shoe looks small, and I dreaded trying it on but looks were deceiving and they fit very well.

These squeak like the other reviews mentioned but it's not bad and hopefully will go away with wear. They do, however, run a full size smaller than other shoes I've bought. I'm normally a size US 12 but I had to get the 13s.

These shoes are great! When I first got them they did squeak a little as I was walking. The tongue rubs against the sides of the shoe and creates a squeaking noise. I just ignored it and as I wore them, the squeak started to go away. I put my own insoles inside them because I stand on my feet most of the day at work. When I first put them on it seemed like they fit like a glove and were already molded to the shape of my feet. I love them!

I first bought this sneaker three years ago and haven't worn any other kind. They're incredibly comfortable and not too expensive.
I see some people are complaining about squeaking, but I have never had any problem with the few pair I've owned. These are the best, most comfortable shoes I've ever owned!

I read all of the below reviews saying they squeak; this is totally true, however if you buy some saddle soap and put it between the tongue and the upper part where the laces go through you will be rewarded with a non-squeaking, awesome shoe. Comfortable, stylish and you can kick a ball like Wayne Rooney in them

I love these shoes, the only thing I would recommend is if you have arches in your feet by a half a size larger and add inserts.

I saw that many people said these shoes run small so I ordered a half size larger and they fit perfect. They are stylish and very comfortable. And they do squeak a bit due to the plastic tongue rubbing against the side of the shoes but I found that not tying the laces as tight helped.

These shoes were very comfortable and looked good right out of the box. They have held up under heavy use and are very supportive.
