4.5
I had debated for weeks about buying the Adidas Busenitz or the Sambas. After getting some early Christmas cash I bought both! The Busenitz are more padded and comfortable but the Sambas are very well made and you can feel the quality and are so very uniquely stylish ... and at a great price! They are comfortable but I probably wouldn't walk all day at a theme park in them. They are mostly genuine leather uppers with some genuine suede. SIZING ... ignore everyone else's comments and read mine ... ha! Truthfully, they are a very narrow shoe ... yet as far as length goes, they are true to size. My Busenitz run a little wide so I wear my typical size 12. Only because my foot is a little wide amd the Samba's are so narrow, I took the advice of many (and Adidas) and sized up 1/2 size and got a 12.5 ... and have a perfect fit! BUT ... IF you have an average width foot or a narrow foot ... no need to size up at all ... I promise! OK, for my final comment and it's a little subjective ... these probably will be more popular with women. They aren't necessarily a feminine looking shoe ... but they definitely aren't masculine. So far, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
