I tried the 9.5 which was really tight, I usually wear this size on other trainers (Adidas) . I then had to go to a ten, which is slightly too big. I've always found Sambas the same.

Delivery 3 days later than expected. Shoes look great but still squeak. In hindsight would prefer to go to shop. Time will tell about quality.

I really love the design and the quality and texture of the trainer but they squeak and squeak and squeak they're driving me nuts!

These have a support in them which my other Sambas don't. I always buy a size bigger with Adidas shoes so knew what to expect. I own several pairs. I had to check they were leather as my feet were damp whereas with my other trainers they are not. Slight chafing on my right heel after a day's walking. I'm sure I'll get used to them of course and would not let this put me off buying from Adidas again.

True to size - I'm an 11 in Vans and an 11 in these. Happy with the style, as expected, but frustrated by how squeaky they are - especially the right shoe. I've been wearing them for over a week, and it still sounds like I've got a rubber ducky strapped to my foot when I walk down the sidewalk.

These are not designed for playing soccer. The soles are 3/4" thick so you can't get your toe under the ball when needed and the sole scuffs the ground causing your passes to be inaccurate. It seems that they were redesigned as fashionable street wear. I stopped using them for soccer and had to buy a different shoe.

Aside from the shoes being too small, I was very disappointed to receive them from Zappos in a plain box, not in the original Adidas box, without attached Adidas tags & one shoe was untied. They were obviously tried on by someone else before being sent me. I ordered the larger size direct from adidas.com & they were in original box with Adidas tags attached to one of the shoes. In my opinion it was deceptive to send the smaller size in that manner unless it was sold at a discount. At least I was able to return them.

Tounge was too stiff, cut into ankle. Sizing was too small. As usual, ZAPPOS dosent carry 10.5, so 11 is too large.

I got these for my partner. They look great, but he said the tongue gouged his foot - making them really uncomfortable.

What is the deal with these extra long tongues? These are definitely not the original OG Sambas. I have received 2 pair of Adidas recently with this and they are uncomfortable and ugly.

The photos don't accurately depict this shoe. The gum sole is nearly black , not a true gum sole or even as it appears in this photo.

Advertised picture displays brown gum sole. I received a black sole. I now see MANY reviews with the same issue. Disappointed.

My review was deleted from yesterday. Read BLACK Samba Classic DESCRIPTION and SPECIFICATIONS. The uppers ARE SYNTHETIC, NOT LEATHER, however DESCRIPTION incorrectly lists upper as LEATHER, but SPECIFICATIONS CORRECTLY described the UPPER as SYNTHETIC LEATHER, ie. Viny/Plastic! I'm an Adidas customer 17 pair! Ask Adidas. Be FAIR/HONEST to the buying public Adidas! I understand that Black is popular, but ONLY the WHITE SAMBA upper is LEATHER. Please CORRECT the DESCRIPTION to HONESTY reflect the materials! SYNTHETIC is NOT LEATHER! Some people won't care, but MANY will. I have 2 pair of Samba Classics, 5 pair of different Superstars, 1 pair of Mundial Goal, 5 different pair of Samba OG, 3 pair of Busenitz, 1 pair of Gazelle, 1 pair of Samoa.

Adidas was forced to write synthetic upper on the BLACK pair. If you read both description AND specifications, Adidas attempts to suggest that these are leather in one, and synthetic upper other for this BLACK pair.White pair are MUCH better AND leather. Shame Adidas other than the suede toe cap, the BLACK SAMBA pair are VINYL/SYNTHETIC UPPERS PERIOD! The white pair are LEATHER upper and FAR better quality. On the other hand, if you like BLACK, and aware that the UPPER is ACTUALLY synthetic/plastic, fine, but ADIDAS, please change the marketing information to more ACCURATELY and TRUTHFULLY inform the buying public. Just sayin

Disappointed in that the upper is not real leather, I ordered it thinking it was an "OG" and all leather upper but I didnt read the description well.and another thing the men-to-women size conversion is off on their chart. It is about a whole size off

If you're planning on buying the white shoe, you need to know that the outsole and midsole, the part that is brown, are not the same color as in the picture. When I ordered my pair, I thought I would be receiving what was in the picture. I was wrong. What I was sent was the same shoe with a black outsole and midsole.
