Read a bunch of reviews before purchasing and ordered a half size smaller than usual. They were a little tighter in the tie area than I liked. Used the chat option to put in an exchange for 7.5 Men's/8.5 Women's. The replacement pair came the next day and fit perfectly. The exchange/return process was seamless.

These shoes are hands down, some of my favorite. I have wanted a pair since I was 11 and finally got a pair at 19. It was worth the wait. They go with everything. I can wear them with dark jeans and a nice top, a dress, or jean shorts and a t-shirt. Super comfy fit with my orthotics.

I like this show alot. Very stylish and comfy fit. I did notice the squeaking sound that other reviews have written. But if you just wet then with a paper towel the squeaking is no longer there.

I'm surprised by how much I really love these shoes! They were a little stiff for a day or two but quickly soften up and are very comfortable. I walk a good 2 miles a day in these shoes with no discomfort. I didn't have the squeaky issue others have reported. I've received several compliments regarding how great these shoes look too. Just buy them, you'll be glad you did!

Great, high quality shoes. Have used for moderate exercise but purchased them as more of "fashion sneakers" as they have that classic cool vibe.

These are THE classic Sambas of my youth!! Glad to find them with the regular tongue. As some have stated, the squeak a bit when laced up but I used some leather conditioner on the tongue and they are in stealth mode.
My "go to" shoes!!

A great basic sneakers for some of your gym needs. Got the job done; and a good value. Not sure why but for me, when it comes to sneakers I can take one size larger than normal (usual shoe size is 7; but with sneakers I can go with size 8). And it doesn't matter which brand I choose.

They squeak! Great shoe. Comfortable and easy to wear. But the squeaky tongue might make you crazy.

These shoes were made for me. I have narrow feet and most shoes these days tend to swim on me. These were perfect. The 8-1/2s (men's 7-1/2) ran true to size, and they are incredibly stylish too. They do have a very firm, solid sole, I.e., not very flexible. For me this is great, as my feet start to ache in shoes that have too much flexibility (like Skechers). These have worked out perfectly, and I wear them several times a week. Love!

Love this product! Bought for my husband as he's a huge Samba fan and it matched our toddlers perfect. Breaks in easily and has good fit not too wide.

Such a classic shoe that goes with just about anything. I wear them whenever I know I'm going to be out somewhere and doing a lot of walking and I know I want to be comfortable. There's a reason why these shoes are as popular as they are, they're cool, comfy, and reliable. Great for the "athleisure" look.

Always a little tight and squeaky fresh out of the box, takes about a week of wearing to break them in. After that break in they're great and last forever.

So retro! I love my Sambas. Classic shoe for everyday casual wear. The black with three stripes look great and crisp with leggings, jeans and even long knit skirts. I get lots of second looks..."Yes, these are Adidas!" and compliments galore. Trendy and comfortable. If you're hesitating buying these, don't hesitate any longer! Zappos delivers to your door in just a day or two.
