Adidas Mens Samba Classic Indoor

Love these for kids. They are hip and durable. Can be dressed up or down. Forces them to tie their own shoes at some point and a step up from the velcro zone.

I LOVE these shoes. I ended up sizing down to a 6.5 men's (7.5 women's - I wear a size 8 in other shoes) because of another recommendation - they do run a bit on the large side. Very comfortable and they provide amazing support. They're great for playing soccer in the back yard with my kid, too. I'll probably keep buying these for years to come.

I was recently duped by some fake adidas on Amazon. I saw that eBay offers authentication verification and thought I’d give it a try. I’m so glad I did because I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. They are definitely the real deal and so comfy and cute. I’m typically an 8 or 8.5 women’s shoe and the men’s 7 fit perfectly. They even arrived sooner than expected!

I've been buying the same pair of shoes once per year for about twenty years now. Even writing that it seems pretty unbelievable, but these are the shoe for me. I can work out, wear them to work, or just for bumming around. I hate that you can never find the short tongue ones anymore, but I just cut off the extra material and all is well. Super comfortable and pretty durable, hold up to a lot of daily punishment.

As far as I can tell, Adidas doesn't make the Samba for women. Men's to Women's shoe sizing conversion can be all over the place, here's my opinion on these: I usually wear an 8 in sneakers, I ordered the 6.5 (seems to be the smallest size offered). They seem a little big but definitely workable especially since my feet are a tiny bit wide. If you are smaller than an 8, or if your feet run narrow, you should probably look for something else. There is a lot of room in the toe box, almost too much. I would have taken a 6 if it had been available, but these will work. Also, as other reviewers have said, these feature a pretty aggressive arch support. I like it, but it might be an issue for some people. Style-wise, they are a little chunkier than I was expecting after seeing them on men, but I think that's attributable to the proportions of the smaller sizes. At $40, I think they are a great value.

These are the only shoes that I have found that my kids grow out off before they wear out. My kids are really hard on their footwear. Playing soccer, trampling through the outdoors, skateboarding and just being a outdoor kid. Other shoes only last months sometime only weeks before they begin falling apart. These are more expensive then some of the shoes that are out there at the discount clothing stores but then we buy 3-4 sets of shoes because they fall apart so quickly. I prefer to buy a great pair of shoes once and forget about it until their foot grows.

I looked for Sambas for so long online and they were always sold out. I have no idea how they were available on Amazon, but I'm so glad they were! Love them and wear them all the time. Super comfy and durable, and obviously very on trend!

They arrived in great condition, packaging was the original Adidas box, they look amazing and fit great, I ordered the size I usually use. Super happy with purchase
