I love these shoes. Great fit and goes with pretty much anything you wear. Sadly they don't make the same color anymore. I've searched high and low.

Shoe looks great and is a great choice for anyone looking for a retro styled shoe. Shoes feels about a half size larger once it’s broken in however. If you like classic Adidas, get these!

Excellent mix of comfort and style - I recently wore these to a week long business conference. I'm an executive and matched these in black with a pair of chinos, dress shirt and blazer. I actually had two people complement me on my choice in shoes as they complained that their shoes were killing them. Keep in mind they are designed as a soccer shoe- so yes, they will be a bit more snug. If you barely fit into the size your normally order you might go 1/2 size larger. I do find they are very slippery on tile when wet.

These are my 3rd pair of adidas in just under two years! My last two pairs were superstars however I decided to opt with something different. Both my sisters wear adidas sambas so I bought a pair to. They need a few days to loosen up but once they do they are very comfortable. I can even wear them to work since mine are black. As for the fit, they seem to fit true to size. However, I found them to be a bit narrow. It would probably be best to go up half a size if you have a wider foot. I normally wear a size 7 ladies US but had to return for a 7 and half US ladies. Maybe it was just me because my feet are small and wide lols. Service was great as usual I haven't had any problems with Zappos. I look forward to buying my next pair online soon!

Order these shoes, got them super fast, Zappos always delivers quickly. As far as the shoes, they look great, built well, and I've been wearing them around the house for a few hours and they already feel pretty well broken in. I got a size 12, and I'd say they feel absolutely true to size. The arch feel good, I am used to wearing Chuck Taylor's and Simple's, so for me its a nice amount of arch, not to big but definitely there.

I purchased the Adidas Samba as my go to everyday use footwear for my semester in Dublin, Ireland. These kicks are a classic, fit well, and are useful in a wide variety of circumstances. They have seen me through numerous weekend trips, late nights at the pub, and the dreaded walk to an early class. I have also found they are a great go to for cycling as well, and clean up nicely if they get a bit muddy. The Samba does it all. My only negative comment would be the arch support. The support is fine in most situations but I did find them lacking a bit when I had a great distance to walk. I would not go hiking in them, but anything else, put a pair of Samba's on my feet.

These sneakers are comfortable as well as inexpensive. Zappos is by far the best option for on-line sneaker/shoe shopping. I am a satisfied customer who will be a loyal zappos shopper for life!!!

These shoes are awesome. I used to wear skater shoes because they were comfortable, but these are soo much more so, better looking, and just overall great. I wear them running, for soccer, formal events, really anything. I lost the first pair after about a year, and bought a second. There's a reason it's a classic.

I was very happy with my recent purchase at Zappos. The price was less than the manufacturer's online price, the shipping was free. The sneakers were perfect and they arrived very quickly.

I can't go wrong with this classic. My son loves his Sambas. He has become a loyal Zappos fan, who delivers his shoes to his door faster than his mom can find the time to take him to the mall.

My boyfriend has had the same pair of Sambas for the past 10 years, so I decided to buy him a new pair for Christmas. He loved them and wears them almost every day. He says they are way more comfortable and cushiony than his old ones, and he\'ll probably wear them for the next 10 years! I\'m thinking of getting a pair for myself, too. A great, comfortable, stylish, everyday shoe that goes with almost everything.

Couldn\'t believe how quickly we got the shoes. Ordered them on a Monday and got them by Wednesday. The shoes were exactly as they appeared on the website. Thanks Zappos!

Fits small. Buy 1/2 size up. The best customer service I have ever encountered! I had to return the first pair because of the size. I called customer service and a new pair was shipped out the very next day. No extra charge. The best return policy anywhere. It was so easy. I will never buy another pair of shoes anywhere else. The shoes look great! Perfect for jeans.

These shoes are excellent. Very nice colour and the fit is perfect. They\'re not the warmest for winter weather, but they\'re very comfortable and super stylish. Definitely a good buy!

Never in recent memory have I been so happy to have purchased a pair of shoes. They were a little tight at first, especially though the arch. I wore them around the house and such for a couple days, after which they had started to break in and were very comfortable. I ordered true to size and they fit properly. Width was tight before break-in, but is perfect now. I don't have narrow feet. Arch support seems moderate to minimal, but it's a flat shoe so this is expected. It's not a running shoe, but has been fine over the last month for walking up to a mile or two (around the block, etc). I love the low profile and the stylish simplicity. I used to wear Globe and the like, but I felt with my age approaching 30 it was time for a change. On the left shoe, the tongue had a tendency to slide to toward the outside of the shoe after walking a short distance. To fix it I applied a small strip of adhesive-backed velcro to the side of the tongue and then where that spots meets the shoe upper, just inside of the laces. Now the tongue stays put.

I write these reviews seldom. Yet for Zappos I feel I can at least do this much. This company has got it together! Period. Thanks guys. I order 1 or 2 pairs a year. Not that much yet Zappos people treat me like I am their best customer. Shoes arrive in 2 days flat. All the time. It takes organization and devotion to good service. That is evident. No mistakes of any kind. It's refreshing. As a daily skeptic with ordering and receiving, never do I worry about these guys. A simple process done simply and sufficiently. Every time. Thank you again.

Ah, the shoe of my youth. So classic, so comfortable, goes with everything. These are cool because the tongue is nice and proportional to the rest of the shoe unlike the "newer ones." Also, the shoe rubber is a lighter tan than the aforementioned dark brown. I get all kinds of compliments on these from those in and out of the soccer scene. Great buy.

This is a great shoe. I liked it so much, I bought two pairs from Macy's for slightly more than the cost of a single pair from Zappos.

Possibly the best shoes I\'ve ever had. Love the look, very comfortable, and fit my feet very well. The only negative is that the leather squeaks pretty noticeably until you break them in. That\'ll work itself out soon enough, though.

Our family loves these shoes. They are terrific for playing Futsal or just casual wear. The only problem is my 16 year olds feet are so small that she needs a youth size and unfortunately the youth model is synthetic leather. The adult sizes are soft leather and are great.

These are the Adidas original Samba shoe, a living legend. I'm ready for just about any event or activity you throw at it. Indoor soccer? Check. Compatible with just about every single piece of clothing you own? Check. You know what to do. Get the legendary trainer.

These Sambas are incredible in every way. I bought them in white and they are so comfortable and look awesome with just about anything you could wear. They run true to size and width. I don\'t think I will ever go back to any other classic shoe, again. Sambas are my choice for a reason!
