As a footwear developer and executive for over 40 years, I want to commend you on your review. You covered the shoe basics (not too technical) and best of all, incorporated a verified users perspective WITH suggestions. I suggest you sending your video directly TO Adidas with a short note explaining. Send to Marketing AND Development.

[@HollyBoni]

Can you tell me why most shoes on the market are not actually shaped like a human foot? I figured you might know the answer. 😄

[@cllris]

@@HollyBoni because all feet are different. Universal fitment creates blends.

[@michaellangfitt2077]

@@HollyBoni LOL, I do know the answer. Because aesthetically how a shoe looks sells better than how a shoe FITS. Completely backward thinking, but “some” brands, especially European ones have more of an elliptical toe to match the overall shape of the foot. Think Birkenstock vs. Nike runners. Pretty clear.

[@HollyBoni]

@@michaellangfitt2077 Yeah, that's what I thought. Just bought my first pair of Altras, absolutely amazing. BTW to me foot shaped shoes look perfectly fine. 🤷

[@HollyBoni]

@@cllris The problem is that the "universal fit" isn't exactly universal. I see these pointy shoes everywhere, but personally I've never seen a human foot shaped like that. 😅

[@ZacFelts]

Big fan of my velosambas! They're perfect for days spent pedaling around the city with friends from bar to bar. Your opinion on the fit/features is spot on! About the only thing I'd add is they can be pretty toasty since they don't have a ton of ventilation. But, like you said, they're by far the best casual SPD shoes you can get these days.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Player!!

[@davidnicholson6680]

Adidas made shoes for Merckx so they have a long history in the sport. I'd like to see lightweight but durable and well ventilated XC/gravel shoes for long, hot days. Something minimalist and likely made out of Dyneema.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Adidas are you taking note to what David is saying here!

[@StayZero556]

I’m not a commuter but I’m a party rider. Lots of, you know, hydration stops. Shoes like these are awesome for someone like me.

[@architeki]

Adidas owns 510... This explains a lot... Terrex fivetens and velosambas... I was skeptic when the purchase happened, but so far most products seem like the match was made in heaven!

[@ARNULFOXRAMIREZ]

Made the mistake of rocking these out to Snoqualmie falls. The walk is quite steep and the sole does not flex. Great pair for cycling, not so much for long walks. My toes do hurt a wee bit too.

They used to produce the Adidas Minrett, which was probably the best all-round cycling shoe I've experienced. They coped with over 6 years of commuting and MTB use. This was before gravel was a thing.

[@SedatedGhostwriter]

[@dougbalentine5382]

Awesome review and video as usual - BUT, You need to listen to more Run-DMC ;-) "2 tone, black on white, the ones I like to wear when I rock my bike"

[@johnhouston8297]

I would like to see exactly what you said, their take on an actual cycling shoe, yes gravel style.

[@mattford9140]

Agree with a lot of your thoughts here. If I think about it hard, though, I'm not sure why I'd buy velosambas over sambas and flat pedals.

[@christianjensen7699]

If you only have access to bikes that use clipless pedals, and don't want to modify for a flat pedal setup just to commute, this would be suitable. Also any kind of pedal attachment generally adds to pedaling efficiency. If you ran clips or foot straps, then normal shoes would be similar in this respect. Furthermore, sole stiffness increases pedaling efficiency as well.

[@58shortboard]

Hey Dustin, when you say “not for long rides,” due to comfort issues, could you please define “long ride?” Two hours, three hours, longer? Good review overall. Hopefully, more bike companies address a shoe that is capable for off-road and longer than a few hours, road riding. Former racer, triathlete and now, old guy, enjoying climbing and touring through nature. And in all my years, cycling shoes that are more race oriented, like my shimano s-phyre xc9’s are uncomfortable as f...k, after 50 miles. Especially, towards the lateral aspect of your toes. I have regular width and most, if not all, cycling shoes suck in this regard. Seems like with today’s technology, a simple fix. Hopefully, bump into you in P-town. Coffee n scones r on me. Love your channel

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I did a few 1 & 1/2 hr rides(25 miles) in them it was about as much as I could handle. Good questions thanks for making me clarify!

[@MattyBrad]

​@@EverythingsBeenDoneBit late, but, if I normally ride 4hours in normal Sambas. Would I feel the benefits of the Velosamba? Cheers.

[@bryanneary619]

Highly agree that Adidas should dive deeper into cycling. Their recent limited run of "The Road Cycling Shoe" is one that I wish I could've snagged while available.

[@FUJITRACK10]

I bought a pair of these when they first come out.I only commute in them(18 miles per day) and find them ideal for the job I also when down half a size for a more secure fit.

Really good review. Your knowledge of clothing really shines through. Now it's Nike's turn. Let's keep that rivalry going

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Appreciate you Robin!

[@sumotofu]

Really glad to see this review, much appreciation. Doesn't sound worth the upgrade over regular old Sambas and MKS pedals with the toeclips I've got on my commuter.

[@cycloneranger5354]

Wide foot or not sambas are famous for stretching and forming to your foot. Ive had a pair for over 10 years and they are like slippers

[@calvinnieh8943]

Interesting. I am returning size 11.. buying 11.5 as the 11 are a little too snug. My regular size is 10 or 10.5. I hope 11.5 doesn’t stretch too much. Or rather.. I just hope they fit and last! Thanks for the review!

I wish cycling shoes came in hobbit width. I ended up getting spd sandals. They work decently well. Plus I can jump into the river mid ride.

[@michaelgoddard9089]

5ten fit wide feet. 14wide here. Also, I've had good luck with Specialized spds. Sandals sound cool though.

[@derekkim6512]

@@michaelgoddard9089 are these more the mtb clipless? I tried a pair and they were so narrow. Babiest of feet. Maybe I’ll try a different model. The clipless sandals are pretty comfy off the bike. Definitely not aero. But for adventure biking they’re pretty rad.

[@LouisCognault]

I bought these shoes several days ago to ride my velomobile (a Quest), and I love them! They're a good compromise between comfort, look, and cycling. I also discovered a whole new level of acceleration on my Bacchetta Giro 26 recumbent bike where I actually slightly lift the front wheel while ramping the speed up. Perfect for sporty commuters like me.

[@johnnydoe66]

One of my first clipless shoes were a pair of Nike mtb shoes in a blue color back in the mid 90's. They lasted about 3 yrs before the lugged soles were so worn, they were just about as smooth as road shoes.

[@kwparker]

In addition to commuting, they are actually really nice for MTB as well.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Love to hear this!

[@Skip-vm1rf]

Really? Always wondered. I own a pair and might try them on some platform SPDs soon. thanks for the insight! Did you ever get foot fatigue / flex ache at all? I typically ride big(er) enduro stuff.

[@kwparker]

@@Skip-vm1rf Not much fatigue for me - I'm 160lbs, and don't notice much flex at all. Used them for bigger days all over Colorado without much issue, and ma also running them with platform SPDs.

[@chaunem308]

I’ve seen a lot of these reviews mention heel slip, I don’t know how many may not know it but the extra lace holes at the top are meant to alleviate or eliminate that issue. Give it a shot.

[@felixjackson2670]

Way,way,way back in the stoned age(mid to late 1970’s) I had a pair of leather White and Blue Adidas Samba’s....sole wore through so I bought vibram sole rubber from a shoe-repair man (yes,it could have been a repair women,but was not) and glued on new soles...a couple of years later did the same. These excellent shoes were my main item of footwear(Before folk had multiple shoes) for many years..Brilliant.

[@cllris]

Couldn't agree more. Absolutely love mine for casual stuff where I have to ride to meet friends and if I had to commute still they'd be perfect. What I'd love to see next, some terrex hiking style MTB stuff for better ankle support actual mtbing rather than commuting. I'm sorry Adidas but the Five Ten stuff just looks like early noughties skates shoes sort it out!

[@russelljazzbeck]

I just got an ad for vegan Velosambas, so I searched them on KZbin and watched this video. Maybe Adidas watched it too 😎

[@pyfutura07]

I really like this review as a sneaker nerd. Now I have to dig into what makes a good cycling shoe

[@superevilbrian]

I know a guy here in Portland who wears these all the time, including on a fun bikepacking trim from Seattle back here to Portland. (No not the STP, but through Gifford Pinchot). I have a pair or two of Chrome clipless shoes (and Specialized Recon 3 and some others). I see Adidas now has these in a teal-like color, which I may buy ... I mean, we have the Pedalpalooza teal ride ...

[@hippo71124]

Missed out on the Velosamba - at least in Australia, the only ones left is the nylon upper ones and the blue vegan version. Hopefully can try a pair of these Velo Stans!

[@balikolaci1]

What I'd like to see from Adidas? Of course a new interpretation of the venerable Eddy Merckx road bike shoes! It was one of the best, and best looking shoes back in '80s... and lace road shoes are having a renaissance nowdays...

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

YES YES YES!!!

[@hankamania]

I bought a pair in size 12, and while the width and length feel good, the height/volume of the toebox seems pretty tight. I'm hoping they stretch, but I need to ride them more to find out. I did get the vegan model, not because I'm anti-leather, but because I wanted the blue ones.

[@albertoramiroruiz4999]

Dang, this was everything I wanted to know when I was considering buying them but didn't. Great review!

[@colinaina2561]

It's interesting to me that since Adidas acquired five ten, They didn't carry over that tech to these. I have the five ten district clips..they seem to check the boxes that the sambar are missing

[@philr696]

I have commuted all my working life by bike and always keep a "work" pair at work. Bike shoes (well mine) get wet fairly often so nice to get out of those. Shoes and lunchboxes are the awkward bulky things so never really commute with those.

[@jamessher6956]

Adidas used to do great cycling shoes. I rode nothing but Eddy Merckx Adidas in my early years. “70’s style”

[@cycodre]

Great info! I hope you get some compensation for it! Back in the nineties I found some mid-high vans that had a stiff sole and accepted MTB cleats. They were perfect for my job riding a pedicab but like the Adidas not for big miles or trail use. They looked great as a casual shoe. I was sad when the the underside of the toes wore through from the little walking I did. The soles were stiff enough that the tip of the plastic "plate" started to poke out. It took a few years though. I've never seen another pair or I would buy them immediately! Gong to see if I can get my hands on those sambas!

[@Muusie]

I want to see Puma make a cycling shoe

[@baker2niner]

I'm on my 2nd pair of Shimano CT5 for commuting/everyday/bike touring. They're not as stylish as these, have a really soft shank/plate for walking and are well made (2 year life, everyday). $40 cheaper. Good kit. I checked this video to see if the Adidas suit my "allday" use: they are more stylish than the CT5, but I'm not psyched about the stiffer shank plate (wish you showed more about that, it's important...) or cost. Adidas' Five Ten models look great too, but all the clip versions (if you can figure out their lineup) are too stiff (for mtb) and build quality is not great.
