Adidas

This is easily my 10th pair of Sambas, and they have always been great! I'll probably have a pair of these in my closet for decades to come.

This style is good looking and comfortable. I'm not into the bulky, gangsta or the running shoe looks, so these are perfect for me.

These were my go to shoes for tennis. This pair is totally different in terms of size and quality. Dissapointed!

I have worn these shoes on/off for 25 years. Last purchased about 12 years ago. Since then the shoe looks the same, but has slipped in overall quality (thinner leather, less durable tongue that squeaks). Size and fit are completely different. Shoe is smaller by one size and more narrow. Had to return (3) times to get proper fit. These are my favorite no-nonsense shoes, but I'm very disappointed in the changes. If the sale price wasn't such a great deal i would have cancelled everything.

Unfortunately, had to return (3) times to get proper size. Run a full size too small! Once correct size was received, wearing shoes felt like visiting an old friend. Comfortable, time-less style. Hopefully remain as durable as these used to be "in the old days".

The shoes were for my son. He loves them. They are generally more expensive, this was a great price. Ordering was easy and the delivery was fast. He usually gets the blue ones this time he tried green and those green edges rub and leave marks on his other shoe but hopefully this will stop in time. Great shoes, great price! Thanks.

use this shoe for nursing school

Very great shoes that I reconmend to all. They do get dirty on the bottom white part quickly, but thats the only bad part.

I liked the shoe except for the tongue. The tongue was a little longer than most shoes that I have worn. I wear low cut socks so the tongue was rubbing against my skin all day. I eventually just tucked the tongue in all was well. Comfortable shoe and looks pretty good, but I have to wear ankle socks so I just found a new shoe instead.

I've been a huge fan of Adidas for years. The only other brand I've worn since High School (thirteen years ago) have been Pumas. The Sambas are a classic, like Chuck Taylor's but a bit less "grungy." Adidas and Puma have never let me down. I have a pair of Adidas Campus SK's that are a year old, went through daily use, and still look like they're brand new. The Sambas are just as durable (though they're white, so try not to scuff them up). I'm a casual soccer player (with friends), and I've been a drummer for 18 years. For soccer, these are fantastic. They play well on any kind of terrain and you get better contact on them than some boots I've worn. They won't tear up your local park's field like cleated football boots would, either. For drumming, I prefer a shoe that isn't too heavy, but is also sturdy/ stiff in all the right places, and the Samba trumps other brands/ models in that regard as well. It's lightweight enough that I can use my bass drum pedal fluidly, with a firm enough heel that I won't slip off my hi-hats pedal. Not that many drummers would likely read this, since we're in much shorter supply than singers, guitarists, or bass players, but if you are, then look no further... the Sambas are ideal for drummers! One minor con is that these seem a bit narrower than the other Samba's I've owned over the years, and the toe is a bit longer as well. I'm not sure if maybe they labeled them wrong during manufacturing or something, or if maybe my pair were just defective somehow, but they aren't off enough to be uncomfortable, to slow me down on the soccer pitch, or to keep me from going faster on one bass pedal than some others do on two. :)
