Never worn Adidas Samba Sneakers. I purchased these from Adidas and was unable to return because I threw away the box. These sneakers are great - a popular classic. I find them to be very comfortable. I just have a few pairs of white sneakers already and these wouldn't get enough wear. **Please note*** Women's sizes were out of stock at the time I purchased these so I went with a Men's 7. I included the sizing photo direct from Adidas. A Men's 7 = Women's 8. I found these to run TTS to a little large. I think they would work for a Women's size 8/8.5. Foot length: approximately 9.8".
