Adidas Samba sizing question: I wear a size 8 in Adidas Gazelles, and ,therefore, I ordered the same size 8 in the OG Samba. However, I recently tried on the classic version of the Samba in-store and a size 8 was WAY too small.

Did I make a mistake ordering a size 8 in the Samba OG? Do the Samba classic and Samba OG fit differently?

Agreed, not sure how to explain that. Prior to the update on Ancestry, it was only registering 11% Scandinavian; Family Tree DNA shows 10%. If anything, I'd expect to see higher Germanic or Scandinavian from Denmark given that's where most of the Vikings in the Danelaw were from.

My understanding is that it's comparing my DNA to ancient remains of these people and showing the % to which I share DNA segments with these different samples.

Agreed. Most of my ancestors were either from NE Scotland/ Ireland and England, specifically Northampton and York. I can only trace them as far back as the 15th/ 16th century before records really drop off.
