Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

I have 4 pairs of this shoe in different colors. I find this style very supportive and comfortable with room in the toe area.

Beautiful shoe but too short/small for me.

The arch had a rigid bump on the outside of both feet. It would definitely cause foot pain if walking too long.

Love the style, color and height of the heal. There is a sense of slipping down about a half inch or so when I were a thin stocking. I am overall very happy with these.

I’m a Dansko girl in my 80s with problematic feet. I find that you cannot go wrong with Danskos for comfort, style, & durability! I like that the Sams have the strap that keep the shoe from slipping like backless clogs sometimes do. I ordered the blue denim - a versatile change from the usual black. The 39 works perfectly for 8 1/2 sizing.

I really wanted these to work but the leather at the top was so hard and almost immediately gave my blisters. The toe box also felt small.

I love Dansko Sam's, and this is my third pair, however, as the Honey Distressed color was sold out I bought the Sand Dollar instead. I definitely do not love the color. But I need the shoes, so I am keeping them...

These fit pretty well, and I love the way the look. Unfortunately, my skin is very fragile, and the edge of the toe cup is too stiff for me. It will bruise me if I wear it without socks, but the shoe fits too closely to have room for a sock. I may try again in a larger size.

These are lovely. They're comfortable to wear all day and can be dressed up or down. I usually wear a 39 in Dansko, but I had to size up to a 40 and they fit perfectly.

I figured these might be a good basic shoe, but I've been pleasantly shocked by how versatile and comfortable these shoes are. They go with everything, can be dressed up or down, I find myself turning to them first when getting dressed in the morning. The style simply works. And I thought beige would be boring, but it's really a lovely color. They do stretch a bit.

I wore these for the first time to an out of town wedding...from early morning 'till evening. That was a risky plan as I didn't even think to take back-ups, but the Dansko Sams were totally and completely comfortable!! Love them sooo much! Just may have to have more colors!!

I ordered my usual Dansko size and these were a good fit. Very comfortable shoe. I wish they came in a lower heel, but I like these enough to order another pair. I'm always looking for cute, closed toe shoes that have good arch support.

Unfortunately, these just won't work for me. The buckle is a pain to use (I wish it was a velcro closure that just looks like a buckle). The toe box is also very tight and uncomfortable. Took me about 10 seconds to realize this was just not going to work for me. I tried a different style (Dankso Tiffani) and those were so much more comfortable.

Lovely shoe

Lovely I have 5 colors now

My toes swam a bit in the toe box, and the color wasn't appealing to me in person. The shoes are very comfortable though.

My favorite shoe!

Just a bit small. Loved the style though.

Love these shoes! Got them in the Petal color and they are absolutely beautiful. My only concern is that I hope the shoe platform itself is easy to keep clean, since it's a light color. They look great with light or dark tights. I have tried a few other brands this season in the hopes of finding a lower-heel shoe, or a flat, that provided stability but was comfortable and had support. I tried Sofft, Miz Mooz, Comfortiva, and Taos and had no luck. Dansko has been a go-to shoe in the past for pumps and sandals, but I avoided them initially because I didn't want a shoe with a thick platform. For trip/fall related-issues, I was looking for a shoe that put my foot in closer contact with the walking surface. This shoe has a low platform, but it feels very manageable. For sizing, I am typically a 7 in heels, and a 7.5 in flats/oxfords. I tried both in this shoe. They were both comfortable, but there was a little TOO much room in the 38, and I wasn't able to secure the ankle strap quite as tight, so I am going with the 37. I can still wiggle my toes, they aren't pushed up against the end, and the ankle strap can be fitted securely. Interestingly, there was not much difference in where my heel or the arch area fit between the two sizes. Also, THANK YOU to Dansko for ditching the velcro (at least in this model) and for bringing back the real buckle. Although the velcro is handy, it also snags stockings and just doesn't look as nice, even under a faux buckle.

I had these same shoes several years ago and they felt longer in the toe than these shoes. I am finding several styles of Dansko have changed to being shorter in length.

I love this shoe!! I have some issue with my feet which typically cause me to have to buy wide toe box shoes. This shoe feet very comfortable. I can wear them for hours with no problems.

If it wasn't so short and painful, I would have kept the shoes. I reordered in a larger size.

Have these in black and tan. Very versatile. Can wear barefoot. Good in transitional weather when shoes wit socks are too hot and sandals too casual.

The picture indicates shoes are blue. They are actually gray. How disappointing! I was hoping for blue!

Too big for me though it was my size. The leather is stiff. But the color is a great lipstick red.
