The Adidas Samba Classic has a hardy construction

When it comes to the construction of the Adidas Samba Classic cleat, many commented that it's extremely durable. The upper is made up of a full-grain synthetic material. This material can feel quite stiff from out of the box but becomes very soft once broken in.

Additionally, many are happy that the forefoot and the toe box are covered with thick suede material because this helps avoid abrasion and provide protection for the foot.

...but not for wide feet

According to some, the Adidas Samba Classic has a narrow but comfortable fit after a break-in. This is a lace-up model, and a similar central lacing system is also found on the Adidas Mundial Goal and the Adidas Nemeziz 18.1 FG shoe.

Some players also mentioned that it has a narrow fit, so wide-footed players would not be comfortable wearing this pair.

With Adidas Samba Classic, comfort is top-notch

According to people who bought this shoe, the insoles are non-removable and are made from die-cut Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) to ensure comfort. Plus, an arch support foam has been integrated into the insole, as well.

Perfect grip for indoor courts

Several players commend that the outsole is made from gum rubber, which has a non-marking feature that is ideal for indoor courts.  They add that this provides a good grip on indoor surfaces.

According to some, the gum rubber outsole provides a good amount of grip even on dusty indoor courts. Although the material used is quite heavy, this cleat makes up for its durability.

Decent level of flexibility

While the Adidas Samba Classic may not be the most flexible shoe around, many appreciate it because it is light and it does not weigh a player down too much. Players also say that it's flexible enough to move with the foot once you broken in.

Several areas like the forefoot and the midfoot are covered with suede material. Even though some materials in the upper overlap, wearers report that the touch and feel of the ball are consistent and do not feel overly padded.

Great shoe for a great price

Football players have nothing but praise for the shoe's EVA insole which helps provide a bit of padding, shock absorption, and limited support. It also comes with a non-removable sock liner for moisture-wicking and a snug fit. What most players love about this pair are its excellent features that come at such an affordable price.
