"Sizing is misleading - beware!"

I found these shoes by searching the women's option for running shoes. The name may say Unisex, but there is no indication that the sizing is 100% male. Not even a note stating that a woman should subtract 2 or 3 or 10 sizes from her normal shoe size.

When the shoes arrived here, they were huge. I tried to return them, but Amazon considers this to be MY fault, and planned to charge back any shipping, promotions and coupons against a possible refund. I had done very well using a coupon, a sale, a "buy $80 worth of shoes and get $20 off instantly" promotion and Amazon prime, so my "refund" would be less than nothing.

That's right -- if I return the shoes, I owe money. Because Amazon made no mention that shoes found in the women's section of the site might be men's shoes instead. Yeah, that seems fair. 1 star

"Good Shoes"

Very comfortable shoes and they fit the purpose. Shoe laces are too short so order an extra pair of these.. These are classic sneakers that beat any of the the new ones out today. 4 stars

"Samba For Casuals"

I bought this pair of shoes not for soccer but for everyday use. It's quite comfortable and stylish. Pretty good for its price. 4 stars

"Cheap, thin, awkward"

It is a cheap soccer shoe with little support. the tongue extends about 1" past the last lacing hole and digs into your ankle, one inch is also not enough for it to be bent back over the laces so it is sufficiently awkward and was enough for me to return the shoe. unfortunately no free returns so i'll be shopping elsewhere for my indoor soccer shoes. typically i wear a size 13, however these were about a size too large on me so i'd wear a 12 in this shoe. i have a pair of asics running sheos, lotto cleats and new balance cross trainers that are all 13. 2 stars

"Security a Problem..."

The product was the best. We have always been happy with the Samba product - long lasting and wears well. But the company did not remove the security device attached to the shoe. The device was a very large one that even area stores could not remove. After many attempts, using various items to try to remove it, brute force had to be applied and yes they really do put blue ink in them to deter theft. The sneakers did indeed get the ink on them and so did the surrounding area!!! So much for 'new' shoes!! 3 stars
