I bought the light brown suede sambas and they look great! Just be warned! This shoe has a high arch! I noticed after wearing them that the inside of my foot would be in a lot of pain. This is odd because I normally like a bit of arch support as I do not have flat feet (unless my feet changed over the years). But the pain was so bad that on a recent trip, both my ankles were sprained from walking all day. I was about to give them away when I took the liberty to rip out the arch sponges inside the shoe. Now they fit great! As another reviewer mentioned, the material used for the ankle area lining blisters my skin. I was not happy about that because I wear a lot of ankle socks. Anyways, still a great looking shoe!

I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I have been purchasing Adidas Sambas from Zappos.com for quite some time, and for once, I decided to get the white ones. If you have never worn Sambas before, be warned: the insole is flat, so if you’re used to a curvy interior, these will be a change. Otherwise I find these shoes very comfortable. The classic Adidas stripes with the leather and felt make the shoes very stylish and go well with any outfit. Buy a pair of black and/or white and you’ll never go wrong with looks. Great shoe!!!

These shoes are great. I had to buy a set of Superfeet inserts for them (plantar fasciitis), but I can stand and walk in them all day at work. Without the inserts there\'s not enough shock absorption or arch support, and the collars bite at my ankles. I like the shorter tongue of the shoe vs the long tongue of the original Samba, which always catches my pant leg. I love the way soccer shoes look, and the Sambas are a classic.

Comfortable and stylish - I work in a restaurant where I'm required to wear black shoes (these are close enough to satisfy my boss). I much prefer them to the normal clunky black leather shoes sold for kitchens. The fit is perfect, it didn't feel too big or too small. These types of shoes don't have a lot of cushioning, so if that is important to you I would recommend buying a half size larger and fitting the shoes with insoles.

Zappos rocks! Super fast shipping! I love these shoes; this is my second pair (bought the black original sambas originally, and now I bought the white/green ones). Shoes take a week or two to break in. At first, caused some blisters on my achilles, but only because I was wearing no-show socks. After two weeks, they were broken in enough that blisters weren't an issue. Will be buying more colors of the sambas in the future. Fit true to size

I'd been thinking about owning a new pair of Sambas for the last few years and for some reason it took me this long to finally buy them! I'd owned a nubuck version as a kid, but these classic originals are definitely cooler. They were comfortable the second I put them on, and know they will only get more comfortable as they wear in a bit. Adidas is very reliable in terms of high quality and well-fitting shoes. Very happy!

Great looking shoe, but not quite as sexy as Puma Esitos. Very comfortable from the get-go, and became even moreso with just a couple of hours of walking about, with surprisingly good arch support. One minor annoyance is that they squeak a bit. Nothing you can hear on a typical street with urban din, but you aren't going to sneak in undetected to your mopey friend's poetry recital mid-act.

Your customer service is impeccable! That's what I look for when buying any products. I love your 365 day return policy with UPS packing slip included; makes life so much easier and give me peace in mind if I want to return something. Hate to haggle with company for a return; don't have the time. My feeling about you company is high and will shop you first always.

When either of my college-age sons need shoes, I immediately think Zappos for the sheer convenience of shopping online with a reputable company. They constantly exceed my expectations with shipping times and pricing. There is no other place to buy quality shoes than Zappos.com My two sons are in the UW-Madison marching band and they get their Sambas and spikes from Zappos.

Zappos is the best shoe site ever. You can buy anything, and it was cheaper than any other site I could find. And you can return anything and its free shipping, both ways, for 365 days. I ordered my Samba classic shoes and they came the next day. Free next day shipping, I like that very much.

I got these shoes as a gift from a friend when she saw how horribly beat up my old pair of Sambas were. This is my third pair in 13 years and Sambas have always been worth the money because of their comfort and durability. This new pair, however, leaves me less thrilled than my previous pairs. The new-style tongue is stiff, feels cheaper than the old-style tongue, and squeaks and creaks quite a bit. Enough so that other people notice it if I\'m walking through a quiet room. I\'m hoping it will go away when they break in a bit more, but I work in a library, so can\'t have creaky shoes on. The arch support isn\'t as good as my previous Sambas either. Also, this pair gave me blisters the first time I wore them, which has never happened before. Overall, they are still good shoes, but not nearly as great as the previous models. As far as size goes, I found them true to size.
