I recommend it, it is light and made of high quality leather. Not much in the way of cushioning or high tech. It is probably like the original samba - basic and classic. If you are heavy on your feet and walk long distances it is not for you. It is a beautiful lifestyle shoe not for running or fitness really. A great second pair for trips since it can fit in your carry on and it is super lightweight. I can’t say enough about how much I love it. I have worn adidas classics- superstar, Stan Smiths, campus and gazelle. I don’t follow trends as these shoes never go out of style:)
