Adidas Samba White / Burnt Orange DBEBE2238

Reviewer Patricia C Stendal

Sketchers has become our favorite brand in athletic shoes. They bring a combination of comfort, good support and good looks. All this and they typically are less expensive than competing brands. An additional plus in this shoe was the black sole.

I've been wearing them almost daily, and have even taken them on a few easy trails. I'm very pleased with these shoes. They still fit very well, are very comfortable, and have been very durable for the price. They are starting to show a bit of wear, but it's not any more than my more-expensive name brand athletic shoes. I'd say these are actually outlasting a few pairs. After a winter and some spring rains, I've found that they don't have as good traction in wet conditions as some of my other shoes, but they're still acceptable in such weather. These are very good fair-weather shoes, good for casual wear, but are still decent shoes for quick jogs or very light hikes. For the money, I think these are great every-day-wear shoes, and they are holding up very well after six months.

Months later I still love my two pairs of these shoes. (I have one pair that are smaller that I use for general around town wear, and a 1/2 size larger I use for longer walks) I often put them on when I get home from a long hike/walk and they are very comfortable to spend the rest of the day in because of the way they spread your toes out. They are great for walking on rocks because the 'blocks' on the bottom stick like glue. But wet they are very slippery. And it takes a while for them to dry out. The sole is about worn out on one of my pairs but there are no holes anywhere in the shoe, not even between the toes where the material seems very thin. My longest walk in them has been 10 miles on a paved bike trail.

I'm bumping my review up to 5 stars for having performed so well over the long run.

If it works, don’t fix it!!

Classics. They go with practically everything casual and are very comfortable. They're on the snug side of "fit as expected" without socks, so with socks you might want to go up a half size...at least in my experience with 10.5 M. I have other Vans classics, and these run just slightly smaller than the lace-ups in my experience.

These are great shoes. They’re very comfortable. They look nice. They are a bit on the narrow side, which worked out for me since my son has narrow feet.

Reviewer Lois Glewwe

These are comfortable and Warm shoes. I got a half a size bigger than I wear since shoes like these could be a bit uncomfortable in the toe box. These are fine.

The only thing I'd warn about these are that they are a challenge to get on. The heel part is a tight squeeze, maybe if the tongue could have been pulled out even more it would be easier to get on.

Heads up, these shoes run short. I needed these for an event, and I normally wear a women’s size 9. The only size available that might work that was available was a size 10. I can normally wear a 91/2 without too much trouble and considering I would be using these for riding a bike in a parade, it wasn’t critical they fit perfectly. When my shoes arrived, I tried them on and I could feel my big toe hit the top of the shoe.

Other than that, despite the cheesy wanna be Adidas style, these shoes light up BRIGHT! There are many colors to choose from, as well as an option to do rainbow flashing colors. My theme color for the parade is pink, so I was happy they have a hot pink mode.

The workmanship is very good. There are no uncomfortable seams pressing against the foot, allowing you to use these as regular sneakers after your need for fancy feet is gone.

The inner materials are the same as you’d expect from any good, high end shoe. They’re nicely padded, which is a pleasant surprise. The outer materials are OH SO VERY VINYL. I mean, you can smear mustard on them, hose them off and not leave a single stain, they’re so plasticky. But, what do you want when you’re paying $8.90 for the pair?

To be even more obnoxious with these little beauties, I switched out the laces for twinkling LED laces, cause when it’s my time to sparkle, this girl’s going to twinkle like a boss!
