They were all over Europe last month.

Do not buy sambas at age 50. Their popularity is peaking for college kids and omg I still have the ptsd with them from being a soccer girl until college. Find something more high brow

I love these but they are so hard to find!

I used to wear them a lot when I was younger! It was my go-to shoe, I bought a new pair every year.

After a long hiatus, I decided to give them another try and--the quality has gone seriously downhill. They feel like plastic, the sizing is all different. Used to be a good quality leather shoe. Not worth it IMO.

Where I live it’s all college girls who wear them. Just returned from an academic conference in London and all the women 30-50 were wearing them with trousers and sweaters.

I love the look of these but does the plastic tongue on the shoes hurt the top of your foot where it rubs against it?

53 and I wear them. My teenagers haven’t teased me over it so I think I’m pulling it off.

They are so comfortable. I am 50 and wear them but I also wear Vans.

I don’t think you’d look silly. They are pretty classic.

If you wore them with an outfit that a 20 year old should wear, I’d probably give you a side eye.

I’m keep seeing these on women. Would a 50 year old look silly in them? I am thinking of getting black ones.
