Okay, so I’ve been seeing adidas Sambas everywhere lately. They’re, like, the shoe right now. But my feet are kinda picky, and I need some decent arch support, or I’m in pain by the end of the day. So, I decided to do a little experiment and see if Sambas could actually work for me.

The Hunt Begins
First, I went online and started checking to see the price, styles, and sizes * I headed to the store to get a new pair of shoes.
Trying Them On, and Testing
When I first put them on, I was a little worried. They felt pretty flat. I walked around the store, trying to get a feel for them. I even did some of those awkward “test walks” where you try to subtly analyze your gait. You know the ones.
- I paid attention to how my foot was landing with each step.
- I focused on the pressure points, especially around my arch.
- I tried to notice if my ankles were rolling inward (which is a problem for me).
The Verdict?
After wearing my sambas, I would say they are good shoes. Although, I felt a little flat at the beginning. It turns out to be a great help. I can now walk around with them all day. I don’t feel any pain after wearing them.
