Customer Reviews Sanita Professional Cabrio

Funny that I received a Zappos email about these shoes that I ordered a year ago and I am wearing them today. Maybe not funny, because I wear them about twice a week all year long. I love them - is that too strong of a sentiment? These shoes are one of my favorites - from work wear to jeans. They are wonderful. When I first received them, I thought they were a little too stiff. I wore them to work anyway, and never thought about them for the rest of the day. No break-in period, no squeaks, no problems at all. Even a year later, then look just as new as last May. The inside of the shoe has held together, the soles still have at least another 3-4 years left on them. I like the fact that they aren't as "boxy" in the toe as Dansko's, just a little more tapered, but not tight. Buy these shoes!

I chose Sanita as my first pair of clogs as they were the originals. Wasn't sure what size I wore, so I tried on a Dansko and fit a 39 so ordered a 39. From my personal experience trying the Sanitas and from friends who also ordered Sanitas, they run a little smaller. For me, they were fine in the heel (had the 1/4 inch space) but the instep was way too tight (I guess I have wide feet?). Since the 39s in the Danskos fit better, I think I'll be going with those instead. I wished they had fit though!

I am typically a size 8.5-9 and I ordered a 39 and they are perfect. Very comfortable and I love the color, they go with almost everything. Definitely would get another pair of these.

I bought two pairs of the Sanita Professional Cabrios with the hope that they would fit, I'd be happy with them and wouldn't have to go through the hassle of sending them back. I got the black and darker brown and love them both. I wear an 8.5 and found the 39 to be perfect. There was no break-in period whatsoever, they were comfortable right out of the box. After a few times wearing them, the shine mellowed out a bit too...now they are perfect. I didn't find them to scuff too easy like another reviewer and I am pretty hard on shoes. I wear them with socks and often barefoot! Love! A friend at work wears Dansko and you know where she is at all times because you can hear her squeaky shoes! Not these though. They look great with jeans, skirts, dresses...I even wear them with shorts sometimes. Just enough heel to give you a bit of style, but casual enough to wear every day. Great shoes and Zappos is a great company!

I have worn and loved Danskos for the past 8 years. I am not a fan of the new Dansko remodel, so when I found out that the Sanitas are the original Danskos, I decided to try them. Nothing surpasses the ease and comfort of this shoe. Not the most stylish look in the joint, but sometimes comfort trumps style. It may be necessary to try on a few pairs, as they are made by hand and the fit may not be exact in both shoes. After 2 try-ons, I found some keepers. But the search is ultimately worth it. If you are on your feet all day, definitely an investment you need to make.

Like this type of clog & previously tried another brand but they did not fit. I was very pleased with the way these shoes fit my high arch and high instep feet. I wear them with casual pants for informal occasions, errands, etc. and the dark red color works well.

Great for comfort - you can stand and walk for hours in these. Good Sanita quality and very easy to wear. One downside is that the leather scuffs very easily.

I bought these for work in the medical field. I have noticed my back feels a lot better at the end of the day when I wear them. One thing I don't like is the band around the top of my foot is tight, and I end up with almost a bruised feeling at the end of the day. So walking distances (i.e., more than around the building at work) is uncomfortable. The leather does stretch a little when warmed up, but I still would not recommend these for someone who's doing a lot of walking.

Got these for my mom since she's on her feet all day. She's normally a 36 but these were too big on her so sent them back for a 35 and they fit perfectly. I tried them on myself and they're extremely comfortable and much lighter than I expected. I'm glad I went with these instead of Dansko.

Color was nice...ordered the blue one and it seemed black until the light hit it (but not at all shiny like in the picture). Nice color if you're tired of a boring black clog in the hospital. Unfortunately I ordered these a half size up and they were still too narrow. I may try another size up but will likely just look for a wide style instead. Seemed nice and sturdy. Good traction.

Fit perfectly from the first day, I use them every day at work and they go well with jeans. True to size, and the color is beautiful.

When I started my job as an RN I knew I needed a good shoe for long shift. Of course I went with Dansko clogs because pretty much all nurses wear them. I really wanted to like the Danksos but they killed my feet. I wore them for about a good month before I decided to give up on them. The arch on Danskos are very aggressive and almost felt like they were digging into my arch in addition to that, the right shoe was digging into my baby toe. I did some research and found out about Sanita, some people prefer these over Dansko. I find that I'm one of those people. Comparing the two brands side by side you can't really tell the difference. But the Sanita's arch support isn't too high for my partially flat feet. I find that they were comfortable even when wearing them for the first time. I wear a US women's size 6 and purchased these in a 36, they fit a little snug, but my heel rises as they are supposed to with each step. I have a feeling Sanita sizing can be a little off. I had ordered a 36 a few months ago (when I was testing out my Danskos) and they practically fell off my feet. But when I reordered they fit fine.

So far, the shoe is roomy and allows my bunion on my right foot to breathe! They feel stiff because I've only worn them 5X. I'm a flight attedant and this shoe is a must for being on your feet for more than 8 - 14 hours.

Quite comfortable but very heavy. I was hoping for a clog that was lighter than the ones I had, but these were not.

This is a great clog. Pretty much the same as the Dansko, even has the same patent number on the sole.

I was deciding between these clogs and the equivalent Danskos, since I have been wearing Danskos daily for years. However, I made the switch to Sanita after noticing a few differences - the Danskos on the market now feel lighter and cheaper overall, much different from my old Danskos. and I noticed a "made in China" stamp on the inside of the new Danskos. These Sanitas feel sturdier, heavier, and are stamped "made in Poland". They also feel more like my old Danskos from 2004. I am sticking with Sanita from now on! I highly recommend these shoes. Comfy when you are on your feet all day and look fine with business attire. One note about the Bordo cabrio though - I noticed they scuff quite a bit, can't tell if that will make them look bad or just "broken in" over time. These shoes felt true to size. I wear a women's 10-11 and found that the 41s are perfect for me. Your back will thank you for wearing these shoes!

More comfortable than Danskos and on my feet 12 hours a day but my feet and legs feel great!

I've been wearing Danskos for years but thought I would give these a try. I ordered the same size I wear in Danskos, and these felt much smaller. I think I would have ended up with blisters if I had worn them for any length of time.

A very comfortable shoe! I switched from Danskos after reading online about others who have experienced the same problem as me...the dreaded Dansko squeak. These are quiet and I'm hoping they'll stay that way!

I wear a 42 in Danksos and couldn't even get my feet in the size 42 Sanita clogs. They look nice, but they're going back today.

There's a problem with buying clogs on line: not only do they need to fit the length of your fit, the fit of the height of your foot is important as well since it's so inflexible. Sometimes you need to try on multiple pairs of the same size to find one that has a comfortable toebox for your foot. I've had Danskos in the past, but I bought a pair last year, and the heel fell apart within 9 months! A cobbler tried to fix it, but it didn't hold. I heard that Danskos has gone to a cheaper Chinese manufacturer in the last few years. I decided to try Sanita's since reviews seemed to praise their quality workmanship. Unfortunately, the pair I got are much too tight for the arch of my foot. I'm disappointed, but I think this is a time when internet shopping is a bust. Sorry Zappos!

My daughter bought these clogs to wear to work, since she can't wear sneakers and she has to be on her feet continuously for up to 5 hours at a time - more if she is working a double shift, standing on an uncarpeted, hard floor surface. She says the clogs are comfortable and help prevent the kind of heel pain that she used to get wearing ordinary flats to work.

I used to buy Danskos for work but have found that they have changed their sizing and quality. I returned them to Zappos. I'm very happy to have found these Sanitas for work (12 hour ED nursing.) Look good, comfortable, and a quality product.

Love them! Would like to own more colors! They are so comfortable. I chose Sanita after reading other reviews. I ordered one size up and they fit great! Definitely recommended for people with heel pain. Mine is now gone. Probably the best shoes I have ever bought!
