Not a big fan of the large shoe tongue when it's put on.

Not exactly what I ordered. Soles are black instead of brown disappointing.

the shoes are really cool but the suede was kinda like it was ripped apart, so we had to return them and get new ones.

I had these a few years back, and I absolutely loved the comfort. I will say they aren't the best looking or anything, but for a shoe that you can just feel good in, this is up there. I never personally used them for soccer, but I know people who did wear them for indoor games, and they didn't seem to fall in love with them.

This is the "Classic" Samba in name only. 1) They've changed the tongue, made it longer; it used to be more like the Busenitz 2) They've removed the Adidas logo from the back (and on most other models); definitely cost savings vs a stylistic choice 3) Build quality has tanked. My old Samba Classics lasted years each time, these lasted months. Unfortunately it's time to find a new go-to everyday shoe.

Too squeaky and the size is not good. Even though it's my normal size for all the adidas shoes

The shoes look great but I ordered my usual size (7) as recommended on the website and they're way too small - my toes are on the end so will have to return. They also make a squeaking noise when you walk which I think is caused by the tongue rubbing on the shoe. I'm disappointed as I waited weeks for them to arrived as they were being restocked and can't order the right size as they're out of stock again.

Great color and fit , the sarlacc design is fun and not too noticeable. Now for the worst part the pull tab is terrible and is wounding my heel, unacceptable adidas, stop putting the pull tab forward.

I buy Samba shoes for over 15 years now (eventought I had my first pair when I was 10 - I'm 46 now) but the quality of this last one is not as before. Of course they still fit (the size is the only thing that didn't change) but the material used now is not as good as it should be for an Adi pair of Samba. This one is product in an Asian country (not to name it) and they squeeze a lot exactly as the previous one I bought (Samba with the red shore tong). The last one which met the quality standard expected was made in Thailand (the ones with the bleu shoe tong) but unfortunatelly it's impossible to find the same again

It hurts the feet. Not good with wide foot people. It does feel nice kicking a soccer ball.

I loved these shoes - I wore the same pair for about 5 years and wanted to replace them. The sole is now different, it's a darkbrown/black not like what it was originally and in the picture. I also bought the same exact size (11.5) and it is a little too big. Unfortunate they changed the design of such a classic shoe. Probably will just wear it if there is no other option.

Fit a bit small around the big toe, otherwise very stylish, nice and goes with a lot of outfits, very different too.

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.

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.
