I know. Ultimately I should buy and wear what I like; as we all should.

But I’m still interested in the general consensus, to give me an idea of whether I’ll be laughed out of the pub or not…

I like them

Comefromaway · 18/11/2025 00:39

I like the look of them but find Samba’s really uncomfortable.

BeeWitchy · 18/11/2025 05:40

I like them too.

Magpie50 · 18/11/2025 05:52

They look nicè enough to me.

Sparklesandspandexgallore · 18/11/2025 05:55

Nothing wrong with those.

strangetimesbelow · 18/11/2025 05:56

I’d wear them if my feet liked sambas.

Dollyparot200 · 18/11/2025 08:13

I love these

Starwomanwaiting · 18/11/2025 08:14

Love them!!! Hard to imagine being laughed out of the pub in London but not sure where you are. Who cares anyway? They’re cool imo

ozarina · 18/11/2025 08:25

Loads of these on Vinted.

MyThreeWords · 18/11/2025 08:30

I'm afraid it's a laughed out of the pub from me.

Prelim · 18/11/2025 08:35

Sambas make me think of Rishi Sunak.

evilharpy · 18/11/2025 08:49

I love them

UpMyself · 18/11/2025 10:11

I don't like the style or the metallic look. They look cheap.

Sassylovesbooks · 18/11/2025 10:13

Love these, I'd wear them! I like anything sparkly or shiny!! 🤷

Sambas make me think of Rishi Sunak.

This is true! They also remind me of an ex from many moons ago, but he wore black ones and I dislike black trainers in general.

Are Sambas a hit or miss comfort-wise?

My first pair of Spezials were hard to get used to, but my Gazelles have been comfy from day one.

They're nice.

GarlicHound · 18/11/2025 15:18

I love them!

Mind you, I'm trying to yank myself out of a peculiar phase of liking extremely flashy, shiny shoes. You may choose to ignore my opinion after I tell you I've just spent £50 I really could not afford on a pair of woven gold loafers 😳They're really quite ugly - but they entertain me, and they're comfy!

Your trainers (well, I hope they're yours by now!) are actually stylish while also flashy. Good thing I haven't currently got £100 to splash on yet another pair of metallic-finish shoes, or I'd have been in there.

I’ve ordered them, and got 25% off ordering via ASOS.

Don’t really know what I’ll wear them with as I’m struggling with clothes just now, but perhaps when they arrive I’ll hate them and that problem will be solved!

I like them. I am sixty, I would wear them.

User5306921 · 18/11/2025 22:58

I like them.
