Which Adidas trainers are most comfortable: Samba, Spezial or Paris?

I’m trying to decide between three different styles of adidas trainers - samba, spezial and paris. If you’ve tried one or more, which are the most comfortable?

honestly it's really about your foot shape and size. it's a strange question.

It’s not really a strange question. The op is just looking for feedback from others who have these shoes.

I find this type too flat but I love the Gazelles bold which have a chunky sole. I have 2 pairs and they are so comfy.

I have awkward feet so it would be strange to me TBH. I would never buy footwear online as I have to try on so many shoes before I find anything comfortable - even trainers and slippers.

Life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes.

Not a strange question but it does depend on your feet

High arches, wide feet: Handball Spezial
Medium arches, medium feet: Gazelle (or discontinued but brilliant Lacombe SPZL)
Medium arches, narrower feet: Stan Smiths
Flat arches, wider feet: Paris (I think! This is based on DH but please do not underestimate his ability to wear the wrong shoes)

I don't really like Sambas much so not sure where they fit in

Spezials. Really good arch support and comfy for wider feet.

Stan Smiths are really comfy if you are looking for a flat trainer, they're a classic, they never go out of style.
