I'm late to the fashion party, but finally bought sambas because I like the look and bloggers push these a lot. Yes, good marketing, but shoe is not comfortable. Worn once for my kids first day of school drop off (that was literally 10 min walk combined), got huge blisters on both feet and that's it. I can't wear them. LOL I'm waiting for the blisters to heal and will try again. I rarely get blisters, so it's disappointing. Especially from a sport type shoe... I NEVER get blisters. They do look good, they are true to size, not very soft to step on. Basically get them for the looks, not comfort!

This is for the white with black stripes color. Such a classic. Goes with so much. I was going to do a color but realized that the white/black matches so much more. They have hardly any padding though. I used a comfy insole under the sole they came with and they feel great. My regular size fit with the insert. If you don't want to use an insert, you might need to go down a half size.

I bought these Adidas Sambas in the big kid size because they were less expensive than the adult size. I typically wear a size 6 in womens. I bought a size 4 in big kids size. They are the perfect fit. Nothing different than the adult sizes. Not bulky looking or weird. I bought these for a trip that I will be doing a lot of walking and I wanted something soft and comfortable. These fit the bill. They have soft leather and I don't really need to break them in. It has enough arch support but if you need a lot of arch support these would not be for you. Overall they are just what I was looking for and worth the price.

I am so pleased that i purchased these sneaker. Let me first tell you the color is what got my eye. My 4year old great niece has a pair and every time she would wear them i would say i want a pair. They go well with a dress skirt or sweat pants. I can wear with with a neon green, white or jeans and feel stylish. I purchased mine and had two staff members have me escort them to JD sports to purchase a pair. Oh of course not the same color as mine. This is a purchase i am pleased with SAMBA.
I have seriously ordered 5 pair of these shoes in different sizes. I have found that Nordstrom is a true Men’s size which is difficult for women sizing wise. Toe box is wide as well as heel and longer than a women’s shoe. I have yet to find one that fits other than at Footlocker which actually carries these in women’s not unisex. I ordered a Women’s size 9. I would say break away from unisex and actually carry these in true women’s sizes to keep from multiple returns.
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.
First of all the sizing is off. I am normally a 9 in women’s athletic shoes but these fit in an 8. The back comes up really high and has given me a blister. I’m hoping over time this issue will go away. Other than that, they are soooooo cute! I wear them to work with black trousers or running around (also with black trousers). I also love them with cropped jeans and sweatpants. Just perfect for a sporty look.
I was hoping the fit in the toe box would be wider considering these shoes are labeled as “unisex.” I went up a half size to accommodate my slightly wider foot and low profile orthotics, and it helped a little, but was disappointed with the narrow almond-shaped toe. I have a pair of older Sambas that have a wider toe box, so am a little bummed that the newer models got narrower. I’m planning to use some shoe stretchers to widen the leather a bit, they should be great after that. Other than that, they’re good ole Sambas.
The shoes look great! Sadly, though they don’t fit. My past experience with shoe sizing between men and women’s sizes is a 2 size difference. So, a men’s 5 would be the same as a women’s 7. If you Google it, they say it’s 1.5 size difference. Adidas says it’s only a 1 size difference, which is why they say a men’s 6 is the same as a women’s 7 but they are wrong. I ordered this size shoe and it is a full size too big. I was so excited to have found my size in stock but sadly these have to go back as they are way too big.
I was so excited to get this shoe. I ordered this a while ago and it finally came in today. I opened the box only to find the stripe was red not black. I was so disappointed. I do like red, but that wasn’t what I ordered and not what I need for now. Then when I tried them on I laced the top hole. Both holes were so sticky I couldn’t get the lace into the hole in one of the shoes. That’s why I gave it a 4 star rating. The gender sizing allows for a slightly larger width, which I need. I ordered my typical size 9 womens. The fit in length and width was perfect. But since it’s the wrong color they’re going back.
