Classic. I love how they look!
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.... Show more

Get yourself some Sambas!
I got these for a trip to NYC with my teen daughters and they were both really comfortable and made my neutral outfits more fun. After the trip I’ve been wearing them in regular rotation with both jeans and long skirts and almost always get compliments.I did size up 1/2 size because that was all that was available in the color I wanted, but I think I could have gone with my normal size too....

Love the look but a strange fit
My shoe size is 8.5 but I read reviews that said to size down so I initially ordered them (elsewhere) in size 8. The 8 was too short so I ordered a second pair from Nordstorm in 8.5 and they were too long. So they didnt fit in either size but I also found them very stiff and the tongues jabbed painfully into the front of my ankle. I wear a medium shoe and they also seemed a little wide. I couldnt wear them so they were returned. I also wanted to mention that these sneakers are marked up substantially by most retailers due to their popularity but I appreciated that Nordstorm only charged $100 which, I assume, is the suggested retail price....

Love them!
I ordered the green here but it was cancelled the next day…drives me crazy that Nordstrom does that - it’s too triggering this close to nords sale, lol. I ended up getting them on FARFETCH and i LOVE them. I did order my regular size and they fit perfectly. I can see why people would recommend sizing down and a 1/2 size down would probably fit me but I have a higher arch and wide feet and my true size is very comfortable. So, I don’t think sizing down would’ve been as comfy for me.... Show more

These shoes are so on trend so when I finally found them in stock, I was so excited to purchase them within a half hour of wearing them. My ankles were both bleeding and the leather is actually scraping off of the shoe. I will be returning these, and I'm so bummed because they are so cute.... Show more

Photo and descriptions didn’t match
I was looking to buy the Sambas with light blue stripes. Apparently the color is called “Halo” but the image and the descriptions did not match. So I purchased the unwanted indigo color, even thought the halo photo was showing. I had to return them.... Show more

So happy to have both pairs!
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.... Show more

Sporty yet versatile
I wear a true 11 in women's and so I was a little worried about the sizing of these but they fit great! Super comfortable. I wear orthotics and tried to wear them with these but it makes them squeak horribly. So they must be a little narrow. Super cute to wear with a skirt or jeans.... Show more

Trifecta
These are my second pair of Sambas. I feel really lucky to have snagged a pair in the black/cream color way. I purchased both the women’s size 6.5 and 6 (or men’s 5.5 and 5, UK size 4 and 3.5 respectively). I usually wear women’s size 6. Both sizes fit though the 6 was more snug. I went with the 6.5. Love how these are comfortable, affordable, and a casual classic!... Show more
