Not the grippiest spikeless shoe around

When it comes to surface adhesion, the Samba Golf is underwhelming at best. A professional blogger says that it has "lackluster traction." He further adds that it doesn't "quite hit the mark that's been set by other amazing spikeless performers"—something like the PUMA Proadapt Alphacat.

The head-turning Samba Golf

Looks-wise, the Adidas Samba Golf channels the beauty of its sneaker sibling, and golfers are all for it. A footwear pundit says that it's "flat-out stunning," further calling the design of the shoe "awesome" because it's "practically indistinguishable from its soccer counterpart."

Another professional tester is also quite stoked about its overall dapperness. He says that it has "more off-course appeal than on it."

Keeping the Samba Golf dirt-free is something you'll find a tricky challenge to take on with this shoe. Remarks such as "tough to keep clean" and "difficult to wipe clean" support this statement.

To be precise, it's the kick's synthetic leather overlay (a.k.a. the classic T-toe shape) that's the most difficult to maintain. What's worse, this suede-like material is like a magnet to muddy splashes, so avoiding a golf match after a moderate rainshower is probably a great idea.
