Forget paying £90 for adidas Sambas – you can get an almost identical pair for £40 less & you won’t slip in them either
THEY’RE the viral trainers that people have been desperate to get their hands on.
But if you can’t find a pair of adidas Sambas in stock – or aren’t willing to spend £90 on them – there’s another option.
Fashion fans are turning to social media to gush about the adidas VL Court 3.0 shoes.
The trainers look incredibly similar to the Sambas, but are a lot cheaper, and will also make you stand out from everyone else.
You can get a pair of adult VL Court 3.0s for £43, while the junior trainers are just £25 and go up to a size 5.5.
And the reviews for the dupes are almost wholly positive too.
These are such a great buy,” one wrote.
“They’re really comfy, much more so than sambas and they look just as good for less than half the price.
“I’ve had so many compliments and queries about which style they are.”
B”ought these to try as I always buy Samba trainers,” another added.
“Look great, and comfortable too.”
“More comfortable than the sambas, and at a fraction of the cost!” a third praised.
“Lovely pair of trainer shoes that look great with wide leg trousers for a smart casual look, and hoping to wear with maxi dresses when the better weather arrives,” someone else said.
“True to size. I don’t usually wear adidas but I like the simplicity of the shoe and they are very comfy!” another raved.
“So happy with my purchase, they fit lovely and I get so many compliments on them,” someone else commented.
Another called the trainers the “best alternative for Sambas”, adding: “Everything is great!
“Quality and comfortability plus it is affordable. You should stick to your size though since it runs a bit big.
“Overall, awesome shoes!”
Shoppers also advised going half a size or even a size up in the trainers as they come up small.
And in a comment on a style pro’s video gushing about the Samba dupes, one person wrote: “Also the sambas make you slip everywhere on damp ground they are lethal!”
