After wearing my Clogs almost to death...10 years almost every day....they had become inappropriate for my working environment. I searched the local stores for the same pair, and they were impossible to find! Finally, I tried Zappos for the first time and simply ordered the same pair, same size. They arrived quickly, and were perfect! That\'s my kind of shopping. Now I have my weekend clogs and my work clogs..which makes me a happy camper! Thanks Zappos!

I finally wore out my last pair of Zeeta clogs (they went out of business) and I had to find another clog as I wear them nearly every day in the winter. \r\n\r\nAfter reading the descriptions online I ordered two brands, Sanita and the equivalent Dansko clog - both 37 for my size 6.5 medium width feet. They both were a true 37 for fit, but the Sanita\'s were a little narrower, tighter heel and less clunky than the Danskos. The arch support was much better in the Sanitas. The soles seemed very similar. Overall the Sanitas were just a little more trim looking. \r\n\r\nAlthough nothing will touch my Zeeta\'s (sniff) the Sanitas are nice as I transition into a regular clog shoe.

I love these shoes! Have tried Danskos on in stores for several years but as much as I wanted them, they just didn\'t fit my foot - too tight over the instep. These Sanitas have the same look and high quality, with a bit more room in the instep - perfect for me. They are comfortable, durable, and all around exactly what I have been looking for. Will probably get another color later this year.

Thank goodness I found a shoe that is comfortable from the first day I wore to work. I'm on my feet most of the day and had no problem at all. They are not the most stylish shoe, but the comfort makes up for it. My husband who also works in the medical field ordered his the next day and has been wearing them since arriving.

Perfect fit. I bought the same size as other European shoes that I buy such as Birks. Excellent quality! Great traction on the bottom for the snow and ice. I would buy these again.

Better than Dansko. I'm new to leather clogs. I first read that Danskos are the best, and then that Danskos had moved their factory. The original Dansko manufacturer, Sanita, then chose to sell their European made clogs under their own name. I bought a pair of Dansko and Sanita Professional Cabrio clogs, both the same size and color (brown). In my opinion, the Sanita clogs are a lot better. Here's a comparison: (1) Outer soles: The outer soles of the Danskos were a hard, smooth plastic, not quite as hard as LEGOs, but interestingly not too far off. This made the shoes quite slippery to wear, as in I could do pirouettes in them. The Sanita outer soles were much softer, more rubbery, and the grip to the ground was much better. (2) Footbed: I don't have problematic feet, so to me the footbeds seem about the same. (3) Leather upper: I think the Sanitas outperform Danskos hands down for the leather upper. The Dansko leather was very stiff and rigid, and it absolutely stank! The smell is definitely a chemical smell, something that made me very uncomfortable (the effect was similar to smelling a permanent marker). My guess is it's what they used to shine the leather, although it could be from anything. The Sanitas, however, were just plain nice. The leather was much softer and more supple. The smell was a light leather smell, similar to a leather handbag. The softer leather of the Sanitas was much more comfortable to wear than the stiff Dansko leather. (4) Color: I got the brown Cabrio Professional from both Dansko and Sanita, and the colors were pretty much exactly the same. (5) Sizing: I think the Dansko pair was a weeny bit bigger than the Sanita pair. For me, I'm keeping the Sanitas and returning the Danskos.

I bought these shoes 2 weeks ago and my feet have not hurt for 2 weeks! I am a nurse and have worn New Balance and Saucony walking shoes in the past, but these shoes put those to shame. After 12 hours on my feet, not only do my feet not hurt, neither do my hips or knees! They seemed clunky at first, but really, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! Also, I have to say how fast Zappos is. I ordered these shoes on a Thursday and had them at 9 a.m. the next day. You can't beat that! Zappos truly has the best customer service. I have been buying from them for years and will continue to!

For years I've worn the Dansko Professional Cabrio faithfully. I worked for an airline and stood at work 12+ hours a day, and no other shoe allowed me to do so without throbbing pain in my feet and legs. I also have high arches and I love the support these shoes give me. I even wear these shoes and several other novelty pairs that I own on my days off from work. I no longer work for the airline, but I'm hooked! I rarely wear any other shoes! However, I've recently read about the outsourcing of Dansko, so I ordered the Sanita Professional Cabrio to compare them to my original Danskos. They are the same shoe and they even have the original Dansko patent number (0000240) stamped on the bottom. I love the blue and I'm thrilled to add them to my collection. However, other than the fact that I love my shoes, I love Zappos! I ordered them last night at 840P MT and they arrived today at 1P! Zappos upgraded my shipping for free and I received them in less than 24 hours! Now that's customer service and I'll continue to order my Sanita clogs from Zappos! Thank you!

After an unsuccessful store search for Sanita clogs in my size (40), I ordered some from another on line site. When they didn\'t fit, I had to pay the return shipping fee. Not so with Zappos. I checked out their free return policy before ordering. To my delight, I was notified of their shipping date by email, the shoes arrived promptly, and all that was needed for returns was included. Luckily, I didn\'t need the latter as I am very happy with my new clogs. Thank you, Zappos.

These really are the most comfortable shoes ever. I have been wearing a pair of brown oiled leather slip-on Dansko clogs for about 5 years and absolutely love them! I have walked all over in them and they are still in great shape, but I wanted something slightly dressier. So, I recently purchased the Sanita Professional Cabrio in black (I went with Sanita based on the reviews and they do, in fact, have the same patent number on the bottom as my old Danskos). I typically wear a 7.5, so I went with the 38 and they fit exactly like they are supposed to (i.e., slightly snug when you put your foot in, but your heel should slip when you walk). These clogs are kind of narrow, so they may not work if your feet are especially wide. The only less-than-glowing thing I can report is that I was slightly disappointed in the finish work; the edging was trimmed sloppily and there were stray threads that needed to be snipped off. Since the shoes are so comfortable, and my old pair has been so durable, I forgive Sanita and highly recommend any of their clogs.

These are absolutely the best shoes I have ever owned. There is not a shoe out there that gives quality arch support like these shoes do. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and these shoes make all the difference. I have tried others, but none compare. I have three other pairs and not only are they supportive and comfortable, they also wear like iron. 2 pairs that I have are about 5 years old and still look as good as the day I purchased them. If you buy these, I am confident you will not be disappointed.

I am a nurse and work on my feet for 12 hours at a time. I used to wear running shoes but I would come home with my feet and hips aching considerably. A friend suggested that I try Dansko\'s but after some research I found out that they started outsourcing their product and the quality went down. However, Dansko\'s old manufacturer Sanita now sells the old shoe under their own name. So I bought one pair to try it out and loved what I had found. My feet and hips rarely if ever ache and I now own four pair! I even wear the shoes on my days off with jeans because I am so addicted!

This is the second time I have purchased these shoes from Zappos. My dog ate the first pair. I work at a hospital and walk all over; these shoes are the best for me. I went with a size 38 which is a size larger (I wear 7s usually) as suggested, and they fit fine. The support they give my feet and legs is totally worth the price. I was without them for 2 weeks when my dog ate the other pair and I had to get more because my feet hurt terribly! Zappos is the best! They upgraded my shipping to overnight without asking, and I had my new pair the very next day! My feet thank you for my new shoes!

These shoes are wonderful! Though I am in my mid 40's, I have major bunion problems as well as minor arch support issues. However, wearing these shoes does not aggrivate either problem and they actually feel very comfortable. Styling works for casual with jean or on the slightly dressier side with dress pants. I am in the process of replacing my pre-existing Naturalizer loafers with Sanita shoes due to the better support they offer.

I ordered a 39 because I'm a 8.5 usually, and wanted to err on the side of bigger rather than smaller. At first I thought they were too big, but as soon as I wore them to work (restaurant) I realized they were perfect. Very comfy, much more than the pair I had last, which were 38, but seemed to fit, and got all sorts stretched and bent after a year of shifts.

A friend of mine recommended Danskos but after careful review of the product I decided to go for the Sanita, I purchased four pairs and I am not at all disappointed, true to size I am a size 6 and purchased a 36. These shoes are the best. I would also like to leave a comment about Zappos having the best customer service I have ever had, shipping is fast, I even received a handwritten card from the lady that assisted me with my first purchase. Way to go Zappos I love shopping with you and will continue to do so.

Glad I took a chance -
Was unsure about ordering as a co-worker owns a pair and they seemed heavy and cumbersome, but am so glad I took a chance and did. They are comfortable and sleek which is a must for a someone who wears a size 12. Highly recommend them!

I have been a long time wearer of Dansko clogs, until recently. I bought these same shoes, but the Dansko brand (or very similar at least) about 6 months ago. Well, they weren't at all like the Danskos I've always loved; the soles were squeaky and the leather scuffed up terribly. After a few weeks they looked really awful. Come to find out, Danskos are no longer made by Sanita. I got the Sanita Professional Cabrio instead, and they are perfect!

I love the Sanita clogs. Taking advice for other reviewers on getting the Sanita over the Dansko was a good choice. I've known other people to get blisters from these shoes, but I haven't had any problems. I was also advised to buy a size bigger. I'm glad I did. I work on my feet 8-9 hours straight and now my feet and legs are pain-free! Just be forewarned about them not possibly working for you. Wear them around the house at first, to be sure. It's a lot of money to pay for a pair of shoes that won't work. As for me, they're worth every penny and I could see them lasting for a long time. Also, no better place to order than Zappos! I've been shoe shopping with Zappos for a few years now. They are awesome about returns and customer service is the best.

I have only owned these shoes for about a month, but wear them every day. I ordered them for work because I have always had heel and knee problems when I wore other shoes. These shoes really help with that, so much so, that I even wear them on weekends. I was wearing an 8.5 pre-pregnancy, but now I am in a 9 three months after the baby. I ordered the size 40 so that it would fit like it is supposed to, sliding off the heel. However, I think my pinkie toe is affected by this and it tends to make it tender. I remedied the situation with a band-aid and it feels great. Despite the toe incident, for the comfort this shoe provides I do not regret my purchase. The shoe is a little quirky looking and very bulky. My husband thinks they are very funny looking and fit my personality; I don't know what to make of that.

As a retired Army officer and, currently, as an adjunct college professor, I've spent a great deal of time on my feet. Six years ago I purchased a pair of Timberland clogs. They are still in great shape, but the color, dark brown, sometimes doesn't fit with the colors I'm wearing, according to my wife who seems to forget that for many years I wore the same color clothing and boots to work! We are about to attend our son's wedding (he's also in the Army) in Hawaii. My wife insisted that I had to purchase a pair of black shoes which weren't boots, thus the purchase of the Sanita Professional Cabrio in black leather. I've worn them for about a month and they are quite comfortable. I'm thus far pleased with the fit, feel and craftsmanship of these shoes. The cost was also quite reasonable. I'll let you know in six years if I still feel the same.

The Sanita clog is comfortable. The B width is a touch narrow for my slightly wider foot. A wider width was not available in my size. The heel is made to \'slip\' as I walk which I\'m used to from the old style Danskos. I don\'t like how some of my pants get stuck in the heel, but that has nothing to do with how the shoe fits. The shoe feels and looks well made.

Sanita vs Dansko - Based on the reviews, I decided to order these, as well as the Danskos in the same size. I was expecting to prefer the Sanitas (again, based on other reviews). But the Sanitas felt tighter, one of my heels rubbed against the back as it came down with each step, and I knew that would be causing me some serious blisters. Also, there was something inside the other shoe that was rubbing against my instep. It felt like an exposed seam, but upon casual inspection I found nothing. Meanwhile, the Danskos were problem free, so I kept them. I gave them low marks for looks only because, well, the "Professional" isn't the most beautiful style in the world, though they are the most comfortable! Good luck.

These clogs are everything Dansko used to be! The new Danskos don't measure up to the old ones, but these Sanitas definitely do. These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. A size 39 fits my slightly wide size 8 feet perfectly. And Zappos' service can't be beat!
