These shoes are awesome. They are very comfortable and stylish for casual occasions. My Sambas seem to help me attract rather attractive 5'2 little blond girls in the age range of 21-25. Thanks Adidas.

Very nice shoe. Comfortable for walking but definitely not a running shoe. Casual. I use my old original Sambas for indoor soccer. I ditched the laces (grey) for green ones. Looks nicer.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great shoes! Loads of people have asked where I got them from as they are way cooler than the regular Sambas!

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.

Great service and fast arrival. Couldn't be happier. I am 43 and feel like a 24 year old again when I wear these never out of style shoes.

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 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.

Great shoes. They look awesome, and are really comfortable. They do squeak a little bit at first, but only until they are broken in. I highly recommend these shoes, as I already have three pairs in different colors.

These are high quality shoes. I wear them around during the day and even to the gym. The material is great quality and the rubber is nice and firm so the shoe feels sturdy, yet light.

Snaz bojazz shoes for sure. Wore these with no socks and got some pretty bad blisters caused by the tongue and heads up to the no-sockies. I've heard the sole squeak in a couple of situations (walking on linoleum) but I think that goes away after wearing for a while. I had these in black, and after 5 years of satisfaction, decided to follow up with the white. :D

Searched, paid, shipped, two days later I had my shoes. Super easy and a great deal. I will definitely order more shoes in the future.

I was looking for a minimalist shoe for strength training. These fit the bill. Nothing fancy, but they should be fairly durable due to the leather construction.

Super cute shoe, a little stiff though might take some breaking in. I read a lot of reviews about this shoe being squeaky. I guess I was lucky because I don't have that problem.

This is my casual shoe of choice, so I've had several pair over the past 10 years. I love the style and fit. That's why I keep coming back. This model was squeaky. Past models were not. The leather of the tongue rubs against the leather of the main part of the shoe and makes a squeak with each movement. Not horribly loud, but noticeable. I figured it would go away shortly, but lasted until the first time I was caught in the rain with my shoes. Maybe they have added some sort of polish or coating to the leather? In the end, I love the shoes. If I ordered again, I'd try wiping down the tongue with a wet rag as soon as I got the shoes to try to stop the squeak.

I can honestly say these are the best shoes I have ever owned. I have owned them for two years now, and there is no structural damage to the shoe. The white ones hold dirt a lot though, so you have to clean them pretty often. Initially they were not very comfortable (I have chronic tendonitis in my feet) but now that they are broken in they are also some of the most comfortable shoes I have owned. They are durable, Stylish, and simple. Overall a great choice and an even better value.

Man these shoes are smoking hot. I was very happy to receive them a day after I ordered. I have been wearing Sambas for a long time due to their comfort, style and overall usability and I must say that I am very impressed with the look and feel of this pair. This will quickly become my new favorite pair of kicks. Thank you very much. I will definitely be coming to Zappos again to look for a new shoes.

I've used these shoes for almost 5 months now and the squeaky right shoe did eventually stop. It took awhile, but it's completely gone now. I use them pretty rigorously though, Crossfit, 5K, etc. I also love that I can wear them out after my workout!

It's a great shoe. Make sure you know your Adidas size though as it differs from other brands. Zappos delivery was on time without any problems.
