I love sambas. I have owned several pairs over the years and I like switching back and forth between the mostly black version and this mostly white version. This version of the shoe has not broken in at all over the last year or more that I've owned it. Very disappointing. These shoes usually break in pretty quickly and are very comfortable. This version is not comfortable and squishes my feet (width too narrow). Not sure what changed but I hope I can find the older style for my next pair that I order
