Customer Reviews Sanita Professional Cabrio

I can’t stop wearing these shoes. I’m a teacher and am constantly on my feet, so good shoes are a must! I can wear them with any casual, teacher-type clothes, but I basically wear them all weekend, too. Great shoes, but beware; you might end up like me and never buy another pair of "comfy" shoes again. My only drawback is the style. I chose brown cabrio, and it has a funny shade to it, almost like iridescent oil streaks. It’s not overly obvious, but it is a little bit strange that the color wasn’t better described. These are totally comparable to Danskos in my opinion (I had those for years).

I love these shoes. The only thing is trying to find the right size. The sevens were too small and the eights were too big. I wish they had half sizes.

Very supportive and comfortable. I like that they slide off so I can let my feet breathe during breaks. Would like to get another pair just to wear around- I have seen a woman wearing them with a skirt and they looked cute!

I have been searching for comfortable not-ugly shoes for years. I had tried on a similar brand several times, but they never felt good. I read here about how Sanitas were better, so I gave them a try. I love, love, love these shoes. I have the black, and I wear them every day. I have bad knees and a bad back and these have helped both of those problems a lot. It's interesting that so many people have noted that the right shoe feels tighter than the left, which is exactly the case with mine too. It took me a couple of weeks to stretch the right one out to the point where it felt comfortable. If I'm trying to go up a hill quickly, I sometimes feel like I'm going to slip out, but I never do. I wear a 10 in regular shoes, and I got the 41. One other note on sizing... I read somewhere else that when these shoes fit right, you should be able to put one finger between your heel and the back of the shoe.

Great work shoe. I stand on my feet all day and these are very comfortable. I buy these shoes every few years. Since Zappos is great with no shipping costs, buy a few pairs at a time because one shoe might be narrower than the other.

I needed to replace a pair of clogs that I purchased years ago. After some research and asking around, I determined that Dansko was the way to go. I bought and returned 4 pairs in 2 different sizes - they were way too narrow and just did not fit correctly. My sister informed me that Danskos are now made in China, and to try Sanita. Basically the same shoe, but much better quality. I'm so glad I did! Very comfortable, great arch support, and the Cabrio color is, unbelievably at first, a nice neutral that goes with just about anything. I still have a problem with European sizing, however. I wear a size 10-10.5 shoe, which translates to a 41, but those were too small. Bought a 42 and they fit perfectly. If you have never purchased shoes with this sizing before, I suggest you try 2 sizes to find the ones that fit best. I highly recommend these clogs for comfortable, quality footwear.

After wearing Danskos for years, I gave these a try, and find them a much better fit! Danskos - even the "narrow" Professional - run quite wide. These Sanita clogs look exactly like Danskos, and have all the arch support and ergonomic features of Danskos, but have a significantly narrower fit. As a side note, although the sizing runs true to Dansko equivalents (I'm a 42 there, too), the American size conversion is way off - I wear a women's 9.5-10, not a 11.5-12! Make sure you know your size before you buy, or consider ordering several sizes.

I ordered these shoes in the 38, after reading the reviews, and figuring since I normally wear a size 8, these should be right. Well, they were incredibly small-as in, my foot would barely go in the opening in the top. They were just terribly painful. I even considered not ordering a second pair in a larger size because they just seemed so uncomfortable, but boy am I glad I did it anyway! I only went up a size, but they were a night and day difference. Because I had never tried on these types of shoes before, I didn't know that they are supposed to sort of slide on and off your heel as you walk (it doesn't cause blisters, it's just the way they are), so keep that in mind when you try yours on. These are very comfortable shoes, and I think they look great with jeans, which is just an added bonus. I chose the brownish red color because they look fine with brown or black clothes.

First of all, I love Zappos! They rock and I will continue to use their service. I call it a service because they make shopping pain free. I tried a pair of Sanita Cabrio clogs on in the city but, didn't purchase them. When I got home I decided that I really wanted a pair but, didn't want to fight commuter traffic back into town. I ordered from Zappos saving time and money. The shoes arrived the next day. Amazing! Unfortunately other reviewers were right. Since these shoes are still hand stapled ( unlike other outsourced brands ) they do tend to vary in fit. The right shoe felt almost a full size smaller than the left. It was easy to return the shoes to Zappos for refund. Not wanting to take a chance on an odd fit I returned to the shoe store to purchase the Sanitas that I had already tried on. They are one of the best shoes, comfort and versatility, that I have ever worn. I will definitely be purchasing more Sanita clogs. Next time I will try Zappos again as I am sure that the fit issue is not always a problem.

After trying the new Dansko shoes and realizing that they didn't fit my feet as well as my old standby clogs, I decided to give Sanita a try. These indeed feel much better and are great for long days of standing and walking. Maybe clogs are the most stylish, but they are good for your feet!

I bought a second pair of Sanitas within a week. I had been wearing Clarks and Borns, so the Sanitas were stiffer, but they break in quickly. The other brands "break down" in support, maybe due to their softness. I wanted an enclosed shoe and the extra height with comfort (I am too tall for petites and too short for regular slacks). I will add a third color/pair as money permit. They go great with everything from jeans to business wear so I can maintain a smaller shoe collection. They are clogs so they will always be in style. They came from Zappos which is just icing on the cake. The first pair was too big and I had another pair on the way after I hung up the phone. Try to get service like that at a mall. Zappos rocks.

I love this shoe! The color is gorgeous and the leather has a beautiful sheen. I have plantar fasciitis and these help my feet so much, I don't even have to use my insoles. They are quite comfortable when I walk in them and I can wear them all day without my feet or legs hurting. This is my first pair of Sanitas and I plan on buying more. I also like that these are still made in Europe.

Dansko outsourced to China and their quality has gone down. Sanita still makes the original clogs in the original European factory. Great product, arrived quickly. Thanks for carrying them.

Great clogs, especially if you are on your feet for long hours. Be mindful, most of these are hand made and sizing can be off a bit even from within the same box. I recommend ordering 2 or 3 pairs so you can try them all on and select the two that individually fit your feet best and then return the other pair(s).

I recently made the switch from Dansko clogs to Sanita, and made my first purchase here. They're blue, they're beautiful and fit perfectly! As always, stellar service from Zappos. I'll be back for more colors.

I love them, and am shocked because I didn't think I would love anything as much as my Danskos. Sanita did a good job with this shoe. I am really wanting a second pair in another color to enjoy.

I love these shoes! They are a little roomier than Dansko\'s and they are very comfy. I\'m on my feet 10-12 hours a day and my feet don\'t hurt at all. I wish they had more selection in the larger sizes!

Great shoes, exactly what I was hoping for as far as fit, comfort, and style. Definitely not a "sexy" shoe, but still can be cute with jeans. I can walk all day in these. Love them. I'm an 8.5 straight up and these fit perfectly.

I teach special education and I am on my feet all day long. I am on the third floor and I am up and down stairs with my class a lot. Thses shoes are wonderful. They are comfortable and I find at night I don't have a lot of leg pains or tiredness in my legs. I would tell everyone these are the shoes to wear if you are on your feet all day.

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 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.
