I'm usually a women's size 6 (flats and sandals), and size 7 (sneakers and boots). I got the size 6.5 in Samba and Handball Spezial. It fits perfectly, not too tight or too loose. I love it! Both arrived in perfect condition. Customer service is A++++ as well. Thank you very much.

I really, really struggle with Adidas sizing at times. Thankfully an instagram influencer guided me to size down exactly 1 size from my normal women's shoe size and even though I was full of doubt as I waited for the package to arrive from China, that advice was spot on! I love them. The colors are cute and the look retro and cool. I'm always a women's 7 and I bought a 6 and they are perfect! Phew!! A tad pricey and returning a wrong size is really not an option. Kind of scary to order from here.

I got my usual size in these, and when i tell you they TORE my feet up. there was blood all over them after 15 minutes of walking :( probably perfect if you go a size up / have narrow feet and a low instep. - such a shame because they are so gorgeous

I love these trainers, they're the comfiest trainers I've ever owned. I like them so much I bought another colour! I'd really recommend sizing down 1/2 a size. I am a true size 6, I've never put on a size 6 in any shoe and it's been too big (if anything they've been too small as I have wide feet) but I tried the 5.5 and they fit perfectly!
Love, go with everything, so cute and cool! Initially they rubbed at the heel but I kept wearing them to wear them in and now they’re perfect, comfy and don’t rub at all (sometimes adidas ones do). You do have to be slightly weary about keeping them clean because of the colour and fabric but so far all the marks I’ve got on them have rubbed off super easily. Recommend!
Was a bit sceptical to hop onto the adidas spezial trend seeing as though I have my trusty new balances, Nike’s a few other designer etc etc, however, I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. From the moment I unboxed them, I was impressed by the sleek and classic design that Adidas is known for.Comfort is key in any shoe, and the Spezial trainers deliver which again I did not expect as they’re not the usual ‘chunky’ style trainer I’d reach for. The cushioned insole and supportive fit make them perfect for all-day wear, whether I'm out for a casual stroll, running errands or when I’m business casual in the office. These trainers pair effortlessly with various outfits, from jeans to work wear, now making them a staple in my wardrobe.

Love! Love! Love! So glad I finally managed to get my hands on them. Had so many compliments. They go with everything. Love the colour, and so comfortable.
I bought these as someone had said the sambas weren’t that comfy. These have a padded sole and very comfy. I’m very happy with them as they go with all my outfits! I got half a size bigger but I didn’t need to. True to size.
