When it comes to shoe shopping, comfort is my number one priority. While I like to keep up with trends and find fashionable footwear, if any cause blisters or tear my skin, they’re getting donated.
I usually wear slides or flats that I have owned for years and know will support my feet — no matter where I am headed. I recently had the chance to try the Adidas Sambae Shoes, which are similar to the popular Samba sneakers worn by celebs like Anne Hathaway, but they have a platform that’s ideal for my petite height. I’m so obsessed that I’ve added them to my go-to collection.
I wore them straight out of the box to see how they stacked up against my high standards, and I immediately loved how easy they are to style and the support they offer, even after hours of walking. This shopper-loved pair is selling fast, so snag yours while they’re still available in many sizes and colors.

To test the sneakers, I brought them along for a weekend full of activities that included teaching a yoga class, walking around the Jersey Shore, grocery shopping, and a dinner outing at a bar by the beach. I’m a fan of the sneakers’ silver stripes, which add pizazz, along with the thick platform that gives my 5-foot-3-inch height a boost.
One of my biggest frustrations with sneakers is that they can be difficult to put on and take off, especially while I’m traveling or on-the-go. I was pleased to find these slip on and off in seconds without needing to untie the laces. Plus, they look way more polished than the slides I usually wear.
The shoes held up well as I walked more than 15,000 steps during the first two days of use, but I do recommend wearing socks for added cushioning. While normally the bottom of my feet ache after a long day of activity, I experienced zero pain, blisters, or cuts while wearing the Adidas Sambae Shoes.

Shoppers praised the shoes as “stylish and versatile” too, with many people noting that they can be dressed up or down easily, and I agree. I wore these sneakers with leggings and a T-shirt to yoga, a lightweight green dress while walking, shorts and a top for running errands, and finally, a leopard print dress during my evening out. They looked great with every outfit, and I received several compliments on them. The brand says these run true to size, which was accurate for me; I alternate between a size 8.5 and a 9, and I opted for the 9, which fits well.
