I have been purchasing the adidas samoas for a couple years as work shoes. The boys size fits me and is less expensive then the ladies. I purchased the supercup shoe because I saw it in the store and it looked like a comparable shoe for a better price. I could feel the comfort difference right away and I can see that there is a more wear and tear to the shoe than I would have experienced at this point with the samoas. Not the worse shoe in the world but if you want something more durable and comfortabe, spend the extra $20 for the samoas. Otherwise not bad for the price.My Son loves his Adidas school shoes. We had a similar pair last year for school, except it had the rubberized front piece (which I loved, we all know how rough boys can be with the ends of the front of the shoes) sometimes I have to buy a couple of pairs of shoes for school, because of the rough wear and tear of boys...but, on a great note, his shoes actually lasted over a year, it took him into the beginning of this school year. The only reason I had to buy a new pair is because his foot grew, but other than that, they look pretty new. Thank you Adidas for a great shoe and Amazon for carrying them....will return. Fast ship...that is why I love Amazon.com.I bought these sneakers way before she could fit them, so now that they fit somewhat I love them on her feet, my daughter has a big foot for her size and age and because I've purchased these same pair for my self many yrs ikw they would make her foot appear smaller love these sneakers and they go great w a uniform .These are great shoes but the sides right above the midsole in the foreflex area towards the front tore within the first month. Everything else is in good shape and I would buy them again If I'm guaranteed that area won't rip on me again. I wear these to work daily and I'm a security guard manager so I do some walking around but not very tough work that would make these rip in a month. They should've lasted a bit longer.was hesitant to buy it at first cause i thought it'll be a little flimsy for the price but was very happy when i got it in the mail.the quality is good and the price is great.Great Brand and quality , I was very pleased with this selection and my son absolutely loved it, colour size etcNice sneakers. They were sold out every but Amazon. Great fit. I plan on buying other colors.My 8yr old needed sneakers for the school year for the uniform dress code. These shoes have lasted from September through November and are still in pretty good shape. Nice school sneakers for my kids.
