Love these! Very cloggy-cloggy and I feel sort of Scandivanian just wearing them. Seriously. I do. Mush! Through the frozen tundra! Ice fishing? Yah! I don't know. I am in the general vicinity of "clogs" with this, but unsure geographically, as you can see. Back to the clogs. Shoes. Are they clogs? Or shoes? I don't know. Let's not get bogged down in the details of shoe terminology when I'm just trying to say these are comfortable! Clog-like not-clogs. With the cloggy style I like. The strap is reassuring. You don't feel like you're going to kick a clog off into space and put someone's eye out like you do in those regular ole clogs with no strap holding the chunk of wood on your foot. So these are safety-minded clog-shoes as well. And really, isn't that what we all want in a good clog? To know the things aren't going to fly off our feet when we walk and act like guided missiles? Like, what if one got really wild and knocked over a fruit-stand or something? The way that always happens in elaborate chase scenes in the movies? Pandemonium! There is always a loose chicken with feathers flying too, as I'm sure you also noticed. But no, I don't think these clogs will fly off and knock over a fruit-stand and cause any pandemonium. And I will sleep better knowing that, won't you? These are well-made looking clogs and I like their subtle yet restrained power. You feel like you could walk over something fairly bad in these, I think, and whatever it was, it would be smashed and the clogs would be all, "What? You feel a little bump or something?" "Nah." Clogs talking among themselves, as clogs are wont to do. But that imperviousness, that could come in handy. A good piece of wooden base under you. You're like a tank. Rolling over everything. Tell me that isn't the perfect clog-like feeling we all crave. Sturdy, well made, flattering, clog-like but better suited to staying on your foot. That's what I think about these. I am wearing mine tomorrow while I do the luge and supposedly Bjorn is going to do an ice carving that looks just like me only way more flattering of course. He is a dear.

I had been eyeing this shoes for a while. I have them in the sand dollar color. They are super comfortable and a lot more stylish that other Danskos - great for that "in between" spring and fall weather. however, they make my feet stink! My feet have never smelled before but after wearing these my feet smell - I think it's because the leather at the front doesn't allow the foot to breathe mixed with the cushioned/soft footbed that breeds bacteria. I have to wipe the sole clean every few weeks and put my shoes in the freezer to kill the bacteria. It's kind of ridiculous - especially since my feet have never smelled. Other than that - these shoes are great!

Love this shoe! I have wide feet and I stand all day for work, and these shoes are perfect on both fronts. The arch support is great (as always). The leather on the Sam is also very flexible, which is the main reason my wide foot is comfortable in this medium width shoe. As others have said, this shoe is lightweight and has a very soft interior (unlike most Dansko shoes). My only word of warning is that this style runs shorter than the others. If you have long toes, you might want to try ordering you regular size and one up.

At age 53 and with bunions, Danskos are almost the only closed toe shoes I wear. And usually it’s clogs. Problem like others have said it when I want to dress up a little. I’ve tried other Dansko Mary Janes with a slightly higher heel that ended up killing my feet, so I decided to give these a shot. All my other Danskos are 39, but this one was too narrow for me, and it looked like the edge of the top opening of the shoe would likely cut into my foot if I walked or stood in them any length of time. Thankfully, Zappos has an amazing exchange policy, and they had the new pair in size 40 at my address the next day!! And they are much better! I haven’t walked any length of time in them yet— just down the long hall in our home. Honestly, my foot still looks a little wide in the shoe. But it doesn’t feel like it’s cutting in, so I’m hoping it will still work.

I bought the shoe in black. I can wear it in professional settings as well as every day casual. I have a closet full of shoes I can't wear because I have feet issues. I'm diabetic, have a bum ankle, one foot is bigger than the other, and my second toe is longer than my big too, so comfort is a major factor for me. Most shoes are very painful for me to wear. I did a search on 'the world's most comfortable shoes' and Dansko products came up, so I bit the bullet and spent three times what I normally would on a pair of shoes in the hopes they would be comfortable. I won't lie to you. It's not like walking on a cloud of cotton. But after a few days of wearing them, I have no blisters, my feet feel secure, and although I don't feel like I'm walking on clouds, there is at least no pain. So I'm happy I bought them. :)
