adidas Men's Samba Classic Soccer Shoe Reviews

• Samba For Casuals

  
  By A2SO1HD00MHDJG on 2007-01-06
  I bought this pair of shoes not for soccer but for everyday use. It's quite comfortable and stylish. Pretty good for its price.
  
  

• Amen, something comfy

  
  By A1UXVE4P9XQKI0 on 2007-01-04
  The white/royal blue sambas are really good looking and very comfortable. I dont play soccer and I wear these shoes because of the comfort and the style they have. Very good shoe choice! I would reccomend these for anyone!
  
  

• Very comfortable, very cool

  What is there to say about these shoes besides the fact that they're very comfortable, feel great (redundancy), and look good? Not much, I guess. What else do you say about shoes? Did I mention that these shoes feel great on the feet, as they would feel anywhere else? Seriously, buy a pair if you're into that whole wearing-shoes thing. $40 or so for a great pair of shoes, very good deal. I mean, you could do a lot worse; you could be spending any money at all on a pair of Crocs. (Whatever America did to deserve those, we sincerely apologize.) Anyway, wearing them with a pair of shorts is fine, but if you're vain when it comes to your legs or you're not quite ready to let your friends know that you too shave the fuzz from your legs, wear these Originals with a pair of trousers, khaki or gray, whatever you're feeling. The shoes are casually athletic, like white guys who say, "Yeah, I play soccer" but in fact have never played soccer for a recreational team and have little-to-none-at-all knowledge about the sport, but the idea sounds good. What's better than running around on green grass, sometimes getting to kick a ball, in short shorts and a jersey, giving yourself and others the impression that you're athletic? You're fooling everyone, don't worry. And after you wipe your forehead and throw your short bangs back, covered in sweat, after you trot over to the sideline, breathing hard, grab a towel, wipe yourself off, sit down in the grass and not the bleachers (on purpose, of course; athletes don't sit in seating apparatuses), take off those hopefully-filthy cleats and slip on these cool-as-hell vintage shoes. I promise they will reinforce your image as an athlete. Did I mention they feel like a foot-rub given by the most beautiful girl in the world? Please, wear these shoes with a sense of honor: be yourself, and for God's sakes, don't pop your collar.
  
  

• Good, but sizes are small

  
  By A2WE22R4728L3M on 2006-01-30
  I really like these shoes, with the classic black w/ white Adidas pattern and the easy maintenence suede toe. I am a size 12, which is what I ordered, but later I noticed that my big toe was touching uncomfotably. HINT: ORDER A BIGGER SIZE
  
  
  

• Those dancing feet!

  
  By A42RI1POGK008 on 2005-09-01
  I have to admit that I bought a pair of these on the name alone. Not adidas but Samba. Anything that evokes the spirit of Latin flair and mysterious rythym is sure to get my attention. Though perhaps a litle understated in their plain black and white design they certainly do the job. I doubt you could do better for a pair of retro-styled trainers.
  
  My pair were of undoubted quality but I noticed a small irritating rubbing on my toes during the first days of wear. I investigated inside the shoe and to my surprise I found that a small note had been wedged into the roof of the trainer. The handwriting was obviously not in English script and appeared rather hastily drawn. I thought I recognised some of the wording as chinese and so consulted Mr Fong my local caterer. He told me that good manners prevented him from giving a direct translation but it had something to do with inserting the footwear into a bodily orifice rather than wearing them on my feet. To be honest I have had my share of experiences with disgruntled employees so I paid it little heed, and got on with enjoying these superb trainers that somebody has obviously lovingly hand crafted.
  
  
• Good Shoes
  By ACZ99KMXW8G3M on 2007-01-03
  Very comfortable shoes and they fit the purpose. Shoe laces are too short so order an extra pair of these.. These are classic sneakers that beat any of the the new ones out today.
  
  
• best shoe, best price
  By A3VYDFHTOGJXGL on 2007-11-04
  I've been wearing this shoe for 10 years. I just buy the same shoe every 2 or 3 years and amazon had the best price I found on the net. great indoor soccer shoe-I wear these everywhere. There's a reason it's a classic shoe.
  
  Arrived in 2 days. Just make sure you read the details about sizes.
  
  
• "classic" - a dererved name
  By ANJS5QVPUFW36 on 2002-11-01
  Indoor soccer shoes come and go but the Samba goes on forever. This shoe design has been around since the 1980's. There are hard-wearing shoes; the soles have great grip and won't wear down easily. The felt toe makes this a longlasting shoe with strength where it's needed most. The stitching will last and last. But the Samba's greatest asset is its comfort. Great for outdoors, too.
  
  
• Ecnomical beautiful looking and comfortable
  By A2U78QXX0E0U8A on 2008-12-18
  Hi!
  
  i just got the shoes. They look wonderful. You can wear them virtually with everything. Great looking and comfortable. Picture does not tell how good they are given the price range they are in, best buy.
  
  
• awesome pair of shoes
  By ASM4N2GZU8RZ6 on 2008-06-29
  I wear these shoes both for work and when I'm playing soccer on asphalt or indoor. they feel really comfortable and are very easy to clean with little to no damage to the material. I would recommend it for people with narrow feet because they felt small for me since I have wide feet, though it only took a few days to stretch the material for comfy wearing.
  
  I think I might get the white ones as well, would def make a great gift for your footballing friend(s)!
  
  
• Great shoe for a great price!
  By AAG553RDYVN4Q on 2008-01-21
  I bought these shoes for 35 dollars and shipping. Great deal as far as I'm concerned. The tongue is really long on the shoe for some reason. I'm not sure if that's some new "hip trend" that passed by unbeknownst to me or what, but it can be annoying, especially because it squeaks a little at first. But hey I hate shoe shopping and like I said, for 35 dollars it was a simple solid purchase.
  
  
• I'm addicted to these shoes
  By A3J072KO5TXS2D on 2006-06-08
  All right, I've become my father. When my late father would discover a product he liked, he'd buy it over and over and over again. He even did it with shoes...he went through what must have been three straight pairs of Frank Thomas' Reebok Big Hurts.
  
  Well, I'm on my third straight pair of Samba Classics and I don't honestly know what would make me stop going back to them. They're comfortable, easy to break in, durable (the whole outsole is gum rubber, rather than a little bit of tread pasted to foam as on most shoes), and pretty cool, too.
  
  I don't actually play soccer, so I can't speak to their usefulness for their intended purpose, but I will say that when I was a kid, all my classmates who were into soccer wore Sambas, so I guess that counts for something.
  
  
• I love these shoes....
  By A2836O8LPYET6K on 2006-03-14
  OK, I have to admit to having a shoe problem, anyone will tell you this, afterall, I have almost forty pair. But these shoes are great. I bought these to replace a pair I have worn out, and that never happens with shoes cause I never keep them that long. So comfortable, I wear them all the time. The price was great, cause I never find them on sale. I am looking forward to ordering the white with black stripes as well. And I will most likely be ordering another pair of these for the future. Buy yourself a pair, totally worth every penny.
  
  
• Comfortable, stylish, great shoe!
  By A3KHJ652JLOCZX on 2002-11-10
  The original reason I bought the Samba sneakers was for the looks. They are very old-school looking. I was surprised at the low low price. I purchased the Kids ones because I have feet too small for mens sizes. These shoes are comfortable, stylish and long lasting! I highly recommend these cool kicks.
  
  
• Adidas Samba Classics
  By A15OGDJS69EUCP on 2010-01-13
  First off, as the name implies, these Adidas Sambas are classics. They've been around 40 years (probably more) and they still look fresh! In my shallowness, I bought them on looks alone for around-the-house/ casual-Friday's.
  
  They are a bit narrow, which is great for me. But they do lack a bit in arch/ball of the foot support. You'd think that if they're making these shoes for narrow-footed people, they would have better arch support because most people with narrow feet tend to have higher arches, right? If you have wide feet, you might want to avoid these.
  
  As for the extra-long tongue, I have to say that I kind of like it. It makes the shoes unique. But I think if you wore low-socks, the tongue might chafe you and look funny. Also, folding the tongue down looks kind of dumb as you can see part of the sizing tag.
  
  I found the sizing (10.5) to be pretty much right on, maybe a smidge bigger than my other Adidas. Overall though, for the price (I found mine on sale for $30!), I thought they were are a great deal! I really like these Samba Classics. They look fantastic and fit good for a casual shoe. I just wish they had a bit more support (like the Samba Millenium's do), then they'd be perfect.
  
  
• Best everyday shoes you can have!
  By A7K0Z6Y6Z0YDP on 2009-03-08
  My husband found these when he and my daughter were playing indoor soccer. He just loves them. Wears them everywhere! After 3 years of constant wearing, they started to look a little "worn". I found them online at Amazon.com cheaper than the local stores and that included delivery! Gave them to him for his birthday! Wish he'd give ME shoes for my birthday! He says these are the most comfortable and durable shoes he's ever owned. He doesn't wear anything else.
  
  
• Sweet....
  By on 2009-02-24
  I got these shoes at dick's sporting goods for indoor soccer. They lasted me the whole season without even starting to wear out! I got these shoes in early November and have had them for 4 months and counting!! They are amazing, very comfy too.
  
  
• Adidas Samba Classic
  By A6I09CFED4LA0 on 2008-11-17
  This classic workhorse is functional and affordable. It is well made. Its sizes run pretty true and it seems to adapt to a wider foot more than some of the other brands. The sole is slip-resistant on regular gym hardwood floors so it is a great shoe for indoor soccer. It also is very usable on artificial turf surfaces although other shoes such as the Adidas Copa Mundial turf version provide better traction, at a slightly higher price. All in all a cost-effective, multi-purpose, classicly Adidas-looking shoe.
  
  
• Adidas Classic Samba rocks
  By A1K0RW23CDZFGR on 2008-10-24
  I bought these shoes for my brother and he absolutely adores them. You can't find them in white in any Adidas store so it was nice that Amazon has it in the right color. That explains the slightly higher price than stores charge for the black color. The size is true to fit and it looks just like in the picture. You can't go wrong with a classic like this.
  
  
• Sauce-ome
  By A3LV4ZQKH2YJ5J on 2008-09-07
  The shoes that I ordered fit great. I have yet to play indoor (or any) soccer in them but I'd imagine they work great because they are reminiscent of martial arts shoes, which is what I use them for. There is one thing, these shoes are pretty squeaky once you break them in so don't expect to be a ninja wearing them.

  By AHDCF3TSL86K2 on 2008-08-27
  Great shoes. Just like I wore in grade school. The soles were a little flat at first but have since molded to my comfort nicely. Excellent seller with the fastest shipping I've ever gotten for free.
  
  
• COOL!
  By A3HRODDDOQZDCH on 2007-03-22
  These sneakers are very cool and well built. Great quality at an affordable price. Not too bulky, but sturdy. Nice leather. I'd buy these again.
  
  
• Samba
  By A3TIZC1WSRX9W1 on 2007-02-20
  The Adidas Samba has been a great shoe for as long as I can remember. This is easily my fourth pair over the years because these things wear like iron and last forever. My last pair were falling apart after several seasons of indoor soccer and general usage. The only way I could bring myself to throw them away was to buy a new pair. I recommend this shoe to anyone who is looking for grip on turf or a comfortable shoe for any sports activity.
  
  
• its a shoe.......
  By A2R9J939X9SY3L on 2006-11-05
  very comfortable,stylish and durable,shipped very fast,great price, 100% satisfied I will be back to shop at Bealls.
  
  
• Same as it ever was
  By A2PDEWY6YIH0UT on 2006-08-22
  These are the same flats I wore playing indoor soccer when I was 10 years old... they were good then, and perfectly functional now. They do seem to be running 0.5 to 1 full size small.
  
  
• last shoes I'll ever own
  By on 2002-11-18
  I have worn the Samba Classic since I played indoor soccer at college. No other shoe is as comfortable, long wearing or light as these awesome addidas! Why don't you have a pair?
  
  
• Great shoes for the price
  By A28T02BAVT3GK6 on 2007-03-08
  I got these shoes to play indoor soccer, and considering the budget I was on these were my only real option. I know a fair bit about soccer shoes and how they should feel, and for $40 these shoes are great performers. They are also one of the few soccer shoes that you can wear outside without being embarrassed; one can even say they are stylish. *gasp*
  
  Anyways, these shoes get you an incredible bang for the buck, and you can take those 5 stars to the bank on that.
  
  
• No Arch Support
  By A1UJZE4ILVKNTZ on 2009-11-11
  I can't believe the overwhelmingly positive reveiws of this shoe. This shoe has no arch support. I've played two pickup games that aren't too serious and I could barely walk after each one. They abosrb no impact when you run and even though I tied them as tight as I could, blisters will still forming.
  
  The one positive thing I'll say about them is they get much more traction them my regular sneakers on an indoor basketball floor so I can change direction better, which is part of the reason I get blisters because I cut/change direction very fast. (I get them with regular shoes, but I was hoping these would stop that)
  
  I suppose if you're playing on grass or fake grass they might be ok but any hard surface I would avoid these sneakers. Also the extra long shoe toungue is annoying and looks bad folded down. (on the white sneakers at least)
  
  I went back to my tennis shoes, I'm getting rid of these.

  Great arch support, wear around house and on the field (on dry days). Work good for old guys (age 41) like me.
