Kelly, thank you so much for letting me write a review!! I had so much fun writing about my sambas. I am also honored to hear your recommendation about All The Above. It means the world to me coming from you 🥹❤️

I love everything Ofelia! I'm so glad we got a Samba review up because I love these shoes too (I'm 4 pairs deep already...)!

As someone that observed the incoming trend, saw it peak, and still decided to buy it, I completely agree with you! TBH, I didn’t even consider sambas bc it felt like everyone was wearing them but I decided to try them on while in Europe (bc at the time it was impossible to find from US retailers)and I instantly loved them.They just work for my style, slouchier fits, and lifestyle…no regrets!

I’m glad we can agree! Honestly some things become trendy for a reason, it’s just about liking them even after the peak that determines if they were right for you!

Angie, I had a similar sentiment! I got curious while I was in Amsterdam after walking by the store. So I thought, why not?! Turns out they were for me.

I’m a big sambas fan; I don’t care if they’re overdone! They look so good with slightly baggy jeans!

Agreed! They offer the best option that isn't too heavy soled but also substantial enough to stand up to a jean!

Just came here to say... Sambas forever. I know they're overdone, but I just love the versatility of them. Like you mentioned, they're so sleek that they work with both jeans/pants and dresses/skirts. I can't stop wearing mine and want another pair, too!

Team Samba 4eva!! I'm glad I'm in the company of you and Ofelia with this one.

The sizing issue could be that these are unisex and use a men’s sizing. A women’s 9 is a 7 1/2 mens. I wear a 8 1/2 and buy a 7.

I based it of Adidas Sambas size chart! If I’m not mistaken they categorize a W 9 as a M 8.
