Customer Reviews adidas Originals Spezial

If you like the Sambas, you'll love these. They look and fit almost the same with the exception of the Specials being a bit more narrow and constructed out of super soft suede. If you have wide feet, I'd probably skip on these. I have a really narrow foot, so they fit me like a glove. Anyways, these are amazing, both in looks and comfort. The arch support is there so they're not terribly flat, like the Sambas. Unfortunately, Zappos didnt carry the color combo that I wanted, the bright red with black stripes, which I saw elsewhere and bought. I've bought many shoes through Zappos, for the convenience and excellent customer service, and if the color combo was available, I would have brought them through Zappos in a heartbeat. I wore these for two days and got more compliments then I could remember. When I was purchasing them, these two black girls with completely obsessed over them. LOL. These are great. They look very posh with skinny jeans and just about everything else. Awesome, classic shoe from Adidas, as always.

Love them! Very cool shoe! The arch took a little getting used to because it is moderate. The size is accurate but, the softness of the suede makes me wonder if a half size down would be just right. the suede tends to stretch and give with time. Nonetheless, I am very happy I bought this shoe and dealing with Zappos was fantastic. Great, great customer service!

Awesome Looks - I think they're awesome shoes. Everyone loves them. They look great with jeans. I was going to give them a 4 for comfort only because they're narrow, but everyone tells me that because they're suede, they'll become wider with use (they're still brand new). I was going to buy another pair in another color as well, but Zappos didn't carry my size.

The shoe fits just a little bit tight, but I know it'll relax over the next few days. The only real comment I have is on the color: I've got the grey/orange stripe combo, and in the pictures the orange is a bit muted, almost like a sherbert orange. But be aware, the stripes on these shoes are traffic-cone orange. Blaze orange, like hunters wear. They still look great, but subtle they ain't. Also, why in the hell has Adidas not come out with these in a yellow stripe? Man, that would look great. (Hey Adidas, I'm a 10.5 if you need a product tester!)

The best, people seem to love these shoes. Nice for construction and great style. Great Zappos service. Love the, would buy again. Special!

I liked the style of this shoe but after walking around campus in them for more than 2 weeks they began to wear out. I wish Zappos took shoes back that weren't in like new condition and had a little concrete wear. Who knew these shoes would become the poster child for it's good for a month then turns into a wasted refuge for a $70.00 expense. I've had other Spezial shoes before and I'd avoid these like the plague.

Perfect shoe. Fairly slim profile, soft suede that doesn't require any break-in period, scuff resistant midsole, nice arch support and leather heel cup. I love these.

My 13-year-old son absolutely likes the shoes. Very nice fit and durable. He especially liked all of the Adidas signs on the bottom of the shoe. Very sick kicks!

These are great shoes. They fit well, look great, and are comfortable. My one qualm is that the gray is a bit darker and the orange a bit more intense than in the picture.

This is a very well designed shoe. It's much better looking than the Campus, and similar, but probably just edges the Samba as well. As far as comfort goes, all the Adidas Originals are a safe bet for that. If you want a stylish and comfortable shoe, get the Spezial.

These shoes are awesome. I actually bought these in red and black, a color combination that Zappos didn't carry, unfortunately. However, these shoes are awesome. I've worn them only 2 days and I've gotten dozens of compliments, both on the style and color of the shoe. They look awesome with skinny jeans and just about anything else. I have a pretty narrow foot, so for me, they fit well, and true to size, but it might be uncomfortable if you have a wider foot. Overall, these are awesome. Looks, comfort, style, everything. They fit and look very similar to the Samaba, which I am a huge fan of too. Will definitely buy these again. Great, classic shoe from Adidas, as always.

Order down one half size - Super soft. I'm an 8.5 in every shoe but these run a tad large. I would buy them again as they really are like moccasins. They're just a tad long. Nice and wide though for those of you with wide feet.

Awesome shoes - Thank you very much for the shoes! They feel and look great. Arrived super fast too! I will buy from Zappos again!

LOegends never die! There is a very good reason why Adidas still makes this shoe and that is simply because they are so comfortable and so cool looking. Even after 25 years. How many shoes do you know of that were worn 25 years ago still look good today? I have every color and if more come out than I will buy them. If they discontinue making them than I will stock up for life. If I could only were one shoe for the rest of my life than these are it.

Perfect - Awsome! I got 2 day shipping for free and they where perfect. Great for soccer players. I play it and they work great for indoor pratice.

Excellent!!!! First Class!!!! The shoes were even more beautiful than pictured on-line. Extremely comfortly and a perfect fit. I am 100% satisfied with them and would recommend them to all my friends.

Nice - I normally wear a women's size 7.5 or 8, but I didn't like the women's Special colors, so I got these men's red ones in size 6.5 and they fit great. They are pretty narrow and so soft, they fit almost like a sock. And unlike a lot of other flat-looking little shoes, these actually have arch support. Plus I've gotten compliments on them!

Nice Shoes! I love my new Adidas Spezial shoes. They are very comfertable and fit great. I love the look and the ladies notice them. Go get them tiger. ;)

Great Service & Great looking' Special - Thank you for upgrading the shipping. In a world of deteriorating customer service it's so refreshing to see a company that appreciates its customers. The shoe is awesome!! I got it for my boyfriend, and he loves it. The red color is more vibrant than the picture...Beautiful!

Spezial's the best - 2nd pair I've bought, they're awesome. Have a great low profile too. They sometimes have a little too much of an arch but after wearing them for a while they break in nicely.

Great shoes - Very light, very comfortable, and very stylish. I'm glad they brought these classics back. Zappos delivered it to me faster than the original shipment date, so I was very happy with the service.

Awesome shoe - I picked up my original pair in Paris, and could not find them anywhere except here (for a good price). The shoe itself is extremely comfortable. So much so I bought two more pairs from here! Excellent Customer Service & Shipping too.

Excellent - Myself, and many others are fans of the adidas samba, a classic and amazing shoe. However one thing that I find annoying with the samba is the tounge. This keeps the same slick style and functionality of the samba without the large tounge. I love both shoes and recommend them both - samba in black and a spezial in a brighter flashy color like the red.

My spezial shoes - These shoes are very cool, they well put together, so I know that they are going to be durable. The suede is so soft right out of the box. The more you wear them the better they get. Also, the don't attract dirt, and if they do get a scuff or whatever it just gives the shoes a little character. These are awesome shoes and I would recommend them to anyone espezially soccer players.

A must for any soccer player with appreciation for oldskool - Fantastic service. Shocked when they came to the door in three days. Otherwise I knew about the shoes as I have played soccer for over 20 years. Otherwise a must for the football fanatic who appreciates the old school. By far one of adidas' best indoor shoes of all time.
