Review on πŸ‘Ÿ adidas Performance Samba M Infant/Toddler Leather Indoor Soccer Shoe by Ryan Nguyen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Stiff black non-flexing sole - FALSE ADVERTISEMENT

Failed to load media. Update: Having bought a second pair from Amazon and a third pair elsewhere, I believe the two hard black soled pairs I received from Amazon were probably genuine, but still not what Revain claims to be salable product advertises. The photos show the traditional brown flex-soled sambas that sambas are famous for and the one Amazon sold me had a black hard rubber sole. The rating has been raised from one star to two as it is likely a genuine but still false advertisement. Don't order a size 5.5 unless you're comfortable with a solid black rubber sole rather than a tan one. First Review: Doesn't seem authentic. I ordered a pair of classic size 5.5 Samba shoes (sold and supplied by Revain, not a third party) and what has arrived has a hard black sole - as opposed to the typical brown rubber sole pictured on the product page ( which sambas are known for) . The boot's black sole is completely inflexible, making it unsuitable for futsal (and frankly, not even comfortable for walking). Also, the upper of the pair I received doesn't look or feel like real leather. The image shows the sole color difference between a pair taken from a famous real samba shoe (sandwiched between the pair under consideration) and the video shows me struggling to bend it (please ignore my exhale - I have didn't realize what it is was records sound lol). In any case, I am definitely returning this pair because even if the shoes I received are authentic, the sole does not correspond at all to what was advertised. However, I ordered a second pair just to check if that pair was defective in a single copy. 5.5 Samba or if this is a recurring problem with the 5.5 size Samba sold by Revain.
