I love the look of this sneaker, but would consider it a fashion shoe and not an athletic shoe. The sole is only moderately supportive and the back of the heel has a very high rise that can dig into the back of your ankle. Hopefully, this will subside as the shoes break in.On the other hand, they are very cool looking and go with just about everything.

I love my Sambas. Adidas is consistently large in sizing but not consistent in how much larger. For example, in the Superstar and Stan Smith, I only have to go down 1/2 a size. I would say go down a full size with the Samba. Here is my explanation...I am most consistently a UK 38. That is the sizze that best fits my foot. Typically that is a US size 7/7.5. For sneakers I wear a 7.5/8 for Nike or Reebok. I went with a 7 as that's what I get in Stan Smiths and Superstar for Adidas. The Samba are too long. Not walking out of them too long but slight clown feeling long. I checked the size on the box. Says size 7 US W but 38.5 UK. A 6.5 is what I need which will be a UK 38. I will reorder when back in stock, then I will pass these to my daughter. Until then I will be ... MoreI love my Sambas. Adidas is consistently large in sizing but not consistent in how much larger.

These shoes are incredibly cute and fit very well. I bought the cream and pink, and they're just so dang adorable! I thought they might feel too flat, but they support my feet pretty well. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that they did blister my heels the first time out; I'm hoping to break them in a bit because I do really like them otherwise. If I can't break them in, I may have to tape my heels when wearing them.

These Adidas Sambas are the epitome of classic style and comfort! From the moment I put them on, I knew they were something special. The sleek design and iconic three stripes instantly elevate any outfit, whether I'm hitting the streets or just running errands.But it's not just about looks – these shoes are incredibly comfortable too. The cushioned insole provides excellent support, making them perfect for all-day wear.
I first purchased the original OG’s and I live in them. I was stalking this 2nd pair in the black and cream combo but my size was always out of stock. For reference, I’m a size 8 men’s/9 women’s in the unisex OG white ones. So when I saw the black ones available in the women’s 9.5, I decided to pull the trigger and see if they would work. Surprisingly, they’re perfect! They fit identical to my other unisex ones in size 9, which surprised me. So these black ones run slightly smaller. I’m thrilled to have both pairs! I also purchased a third pair in the all cream w/ black stripes, but I found those to have a very peachy yellow undertone, which I didn’t care for. So I returned those. I highly recommend the white OGs and black/cream suede ones if you can your hands on them.
I've been looking at Sambas for a while now. Finally, I found a colorway I like in my size. I am normally a 6. I ordered 6.5 per other reviewer. I thought they would be too big, because they are very long. But the width is correct on the 6.5. I have a thumbs width between the end of my big toe and the of the shoe. The arch support hits my arch correctly. I really like them. I got black and cream.
I wanted to love this pair. They are super cute and a cult classic but the high back heel gives me the most horrible blisters. I tried wearing higher socks and still! I tried with bandaids and it didn’t improve. I can’t wear it more than a couple hours without them pinching me. Now I have this horrible blister mark :(
I love these sneakers for everyday wear. They were a tts fit and comfortable right out of the box. In fact, they arrived the day before I left for a five day trip and I removed the sneakers I had packed and replaced them with these Sambas. Every day we walked between 5 - 8 miles and they remained super comfortable. They are stylish and go with so many outfits, can't wait to get more colors!
I don't understand how anyone can tolerate wearing this with the tongue being so stiff and sharp. I have been buying Adidas for most of my life, I love them, but the tongue on these instantly digs into the front of my ankles and the heel is still too loose so it slip around even though the length is barely long enough for me. I usually wear a 9.5-10, generally a 10 in adidas but I got a 9.5 in these. They're cute but I don't want cuts in my ankles so I'll have to send back. Change that tongue, goodness.
These are my second pair of Sambas. I feel really lucky to have snagged a pair in the black/cream color way. I purchased both the women’s size 6.5 and 6 (or men’s 5.5 and 5, UK size 4 and 3.5 respectively). I usually wear women’s size 6. Both sizes fit though the 6 was more snug. I went with the 6.5. Love how these are comfortable, affordable, and a casual classic!
