Are the Adidas Samba OG true to size?

Based on my experience, the classic model for women tends to run true to size, but consumer reviews are suggesting that it’s better to size down by half a size. I typically wear between a US 7 and 7.5, so I opted for a US 7 in these sneakers and they fit like a glove. They are incredibly comfortable right from the start, and I didn’t have to worry about any awkward break-in period. Overall, they’re a solid choice if you’re looking for a sneaker that feels great right away!
