More than 70 years since its debut as an indoor football trainer, the Samba gets a refresh with these adidas Sambae shoes. A premium leather and nubuck upper sits on an exaggerated midsole and a classic and comfy gum rubber outsole. Zigzag stitching and speckled laces make a statement.

It says runs a half size big but I’d say nearly a whole size big! I first ordered a 10 online. Went to exchange them in store but they didn’t have a 9 ½ so they ordered them and had them shipped to my house. The shoes arrived today and although the box says 9 ½ the shoes inside are actually only a 9. So they were mis-boxed. But they fit perfect!! That means they fit a whole size too big because all my other Adidas shoes are 10s. Very comfortable shoes!!!

I’ve had these about a month now and am shocked at how comfortable they are . I have some back issues and struggle to find regular tennis shoes to wear let alone “cute” lifestyle shoes so I wasn’t expecting much from these . I can wear these all day with no pain ! Size down half a size .

These shoes are so cute but they fit weird! Definitely size down! I’m a size US 8 in women’s and originally I purchased that size. Big mistake. I sized down to a 7.5 and even that size is a bit too big. Also, these fit weird. Your foot slides out of them when you walk.

I love the Samba look but didn’t want the exact ones seen everywhere. The Sambae is perfect! Comfy, some arch support, and not too noticeable of a lift on the slightly thicker sole. I typically wear a W 8 in most shoes and the 7.5 in regular Sambas and the Sambaes fits well. FYI, the Dick’s sizing is Women’s sizes.
I would definitely say sizing is closer to mens. Im a size 8 M and 9.5 W as well as a wide footer. With everyone saying get your men’s size, I did and it was still too small. I went up a full size and the fit was much more comfortable. Definitely a great show once you get the right size.
I've been searching for Adidas Samba in my size but they're always sold out. Dick's had 1 of the women's Sambae in my size, ONE! I ordered for pick up and wore them the same day. I hate breaking in shoes and there was absolutely no break in required. I normally wear 9.5 -10 shoe. I've noticed in Adidas that I could wear a 9. I purchased a 9.5, but definitely could have done with a 9. I love them, so comfy!
Finally was able to score a pair of these in my size. I found that sizing down a half size was the best fit for me. I’m usually a 6.5, so I went with a 6. They are a very comfortable and easy to style.Only thing I will mention is I was expecting a bit of a platform since the gummy sole is thicker, however that wasn’t the case.
Adidas.com clearly shows unisex sizing for the Sambae while other stores like Dick's Sporting Goods advertise the Sambae as a women's shoe (with a woman on the shoe box label). I tried these on locally at DSG and size 9 is a men's size 9! Needed a size 8 to achieve my TTS women's size 9. Adidas, please put unisex sizing somewhere in the Sambae description and have other stores selling this shoe do the same...this would eliminate size confusion. After sizing was figured out, this is a dope and more comfortable Samba version!
I had purchased a pair of Gazelle in green suede which I loved but I hated that they were suede...I live in the PNW (it is wet here a lot)... I purchased at the same time a pair of the regular white Sambas with the dark sole and the black stripes...but I missed the green....I was thinking to myself I wish there was a way that they could merge the 2 shoes together... tada I found these.The shoe doesn't necessarily run big lengthwise but it is WIDE...I have an average to just on the edges of narrow (I cannot wear narrow shoes). I purchased a 6.5 and that is what I ended up getting, I tried the 6 and while it fit it rubbed against my big toe and I was thinking after the walking I would end up with blisters on my toe. Even with sock they are still a little wide but ... MoreI had purchased a pair of Gazelle in green suede which I loved but I hated that they were suede...I live in the PNW (it is wet here a lot)...

Even with sock they are still a little wide but not enough to exchange them for a size down.The stripes are not leather it is embroidered...I think it looks nicer than the leather....the green embroidery has a little shine.When I went into the store- they referred to it as a platform (which made me cringe). But it is not a crazy ridiculous platform but it is a hair taller than the regular Sambas and the Gazelles.
I love shoes, all shoes, and have way too many pairs! but I will tell you these are probably the most comfortable pair I own! straight out of the box no breaking in period! they go with everything and are super cute! just buy the shoes!**one thing to add they do run big, I ordered a 7.5 and usually wear an 8.5 (women's)**
