Sole
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Was thrown off a little when they arrive it looks like its shaped and the tongue is a lot lot the Busenitzs shoes that are an all time favorite of mine. But they are much lower,thinner, and the tongue is super small not like the picture shows. When the shoes on the tongue doesnt stick up and out like the busenitzs do and it looks like these would too. However. They fit and feel super comfortable. Has one of the best board feel cup sole shoe Ive skates other than my huf Dylan lace ups. Leather and toe cap is durable and can be skated hard without worry. Definitely get a remind insole if your going to be doing big gaps ,stairs and ledges as the stock doesnt protect your foot for nothing but even with reminds it keeps that amazing light great board feel shoe. If the tongue was longer like it looks like it is on the buses then it would have got 5starts great skate shoe. And if you dont skate it looks dope too I guess but you should skate lol
Samba is one of those shoes that look great when other people wear them but feels weird when I wore them. But Puig sambas looks great and feels perfect when I wear them.

Adidas PUIG Samba Skate Shoes
Absolutely love the look and they break in real fast for an Adidas cupsole skate shoe. Like the first session they were good. They fit well. And look really good. Super clean in both the all white and black that I have on the way again..A little narrow around the Arch of the foot. But that's why this cupsole has such good board feel right out the box.true to size for me..For whatever reason with this shoe along with other Adidas skate shoes that I loved but this one thing I hate the lace patch that is stitched in and even double stitched around the whole thing completely rips and detached from the shoe making me have to sneakercrete that back down and over the original laces on the new pair I have on the way. I'll see how this sneakercrete stuff makes these last because the t to patch stitching and the leather should be longer and more stitching. Like on the Adidas Busenitz that I have also that lace bed comple detached on my right main flip foot. That needs to be fixed for me and to continue buying these two models this one and Busenitz pros..the toe box and the suede stitched over the lace bed..just rips and comes right off. Look so good though
