Sneaker Heights

Adidas Samba's were first released in the 1950's as a soccer shoe. They turned out to be very popular and as a leisure sneaker, have become one of Adidas best-selling models of all time. Samba's are generally a comfortable sneaker, although this leather edition has a very squeaky tongue. Go for the suede if you are thinking of buying them.

In terms of thickness, I Measured the outsole around 3/4 inch range or near 2cm, plus a few mm for the insole, meaning they offer the wearer almost 0.9 inches (2.2cm) of height.
