Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

I have very high arches and have had both knees replaced. From the moment I put theses on I noticed a huge improvement in my comfort while standing and walking. I will definitely purchase another color or similar Dansko shoe. I wear an 8 1/2 shoe and the 39 fits great. The toe box is comfortably wide and doesn’t cut into my foot. With high arches that is often an issue. The blue denim color matches many shades of jeans and looks great with boot cut as well as skinny jeans.

Just what I'd expect from the Dansko brand that I've been wearing for almost 20 years.

I LOVE Danskos. I have had many pairs over the years. I am a culinary professional and have had many pairs for use in the kitchen. They are comfortable, durable, and solid. But this pair is for dressing up and going out! I like that they have all the support and durability and yet they are cute. I can wear these for hours and walk in them and they do not kill my feet as with other shoes that I may wear to dress up. Admittedly, they are basic looking but sometimes basic can be a nice look, too! I highly recommend.

Absolutely love these and are true to what I expect of the Dansko brand.

These are beautiful and so comfortable!

I typically take a 38 in Dansko Sam, but for this particular shoe I needed a 39. Glad I read the previous reviews about sizing. It is a great shoe if you have narrower feet.

I so wanted this shoe to work!! The edge of the toe covering hit the top of my foot - knew if I wore them a full work day, I’d have a blister there. This was a long shot as typically with Danskos I have to go up 2-3 European sizes to wear their clogs (I wear a US size 12, so unfortunately that makes it so I can’t buy their women’s shoes). I would definitely recommend Dansko and if you have smaller feet, this particular shoe. Thought it would look great with skirts/dresses and even pants.

Very comfortable, cushioned footbed. Good room in the toe box. Red is slightly deeper/darker than pictured. I wear an 8 - 8.5 and the 39 fits well, but my toes are close to the front. Sturdy and cute shoes.

Simply said, wonderful shoe. My feet are screaming with JOY! I ordered my size of 8 1/2. Others said they ran short and I agree. Ordered 9 1/2-10 and they are perfect.

These are the best shoes EVER! I have been buying a new pair every fall for years. I work 70-80 per week as teacher and a server. My feet NEVER feel sore, and I can outlast servers thirty years younger than me. They are much more comfortable, and durable than athletic shoes. You can wear them with pants, jeans, skirts and even shorts. I get compliments on them every week. I cannot say enough good things about these shoes! I wear them without socks all summer. I even spill things in them, and regularly get them wet. I have absolutely no problem with odor, or with my feet feeling sweaty. They are overall the most amazing shoes and if you've never tried them, they are WELL worth the investment.

Love this shoe. Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect fit and feel, great for my plantar fasciitis. As always Zappos delivered right on time?

These shoes are awesome! Super comfortable and cute. The red color really pops and I can walk in these all day. When I first got them, the top of the toes rubbed a bit, but after breaking them in they were just fine.

I love, love this shoe! I wear a 5.5 and I have an extra wide foot. Because of the roomy toe box, this shoe accommodates my wide foot even though it is not marked a wide. The arch support is amazing and the sole is not made of wood so it bends a little, which is more comfortable than the wooden soled Danskos. This shoe is also so pretty. I get compliments on them. Since I am small, it gives me height without hurting the ball of my foot because it is not just the heel that is built up. The front of the shoe has height also. I've tried other Danskos and have not had the perfect fit that these do. Thank you for these shoes, Dansko! Can you please make other shoes with this foundational fit?

These versatile shoes both look and feel great. Will order a second pair. Thanks, Dansko!

This shoe is true to size and very comfortable.

Love these shoes! And I love Zappos. I ordered all the similar styles and could compare in my house. I have big feet, so the angles and thick straps help with the visual. And I prefer the sewn to sole look, not stapled. And the little gold buckle... only wear gold tone. Love them so much I ordered the taupe too. I wore them all day on day one.

So comfortable. Presented and stood to facilitate meetings easily and for long hours.

The ankle strap is made to fit people with small bone structure. The last hole was a snug fit for me, a size 12, 5’6” 165 lb woman

I love these shoes. I just wish the ankle strap had a few more holes for those of us ladies who need a bit more ankle room. They still are able to be buckled on the last hole. I love them and I feel feminine in them.

I really like these shoes, they are perfect for my clinical rotations where I am on my feet for 8-12 hours. My only complaints are 1) The shoe rubs on the top of my foot slightly 2) I wish the heel was taller.

I’ve been using this brand of shoes to help manage arthritis pain and they are amazing! I also get compliments on them a lot and they look cute with a lot of different styles.

These are so cute and comfortable. This is my second pair in a different color- they are dressy enough for work and comfortable enough to walk an hour to get there!

The Dansko Sam shoes are great for the versatile style and the color Teak Vintage is a nice darker brown. I plan to use for work as a nurse and comfort while walking during over seas trips, to be a bit dressier than a pair of sneakers. For sizing, the style runs small. I usually wear a 7.5-8 wide with a slightly high instep and a wide foot, not round and fat, but wide at my toes with a skinny heel and ankle. In Dansko, that means I can wear a 38 or 39 depending upon the shoe. I bought a 39 and I am glad I did. I still used shoe stretchers with leather shoe stretching spray to open up the top of the shoe from cutting into the top of my foot. They are perfect now and can wear a sock or bare foot.

Dansko is always a go-to brand for me. Yet, with this Dansko Sam, my traditional size crunched my toes. So I returned and am on wait list for a 41. Pray it arrives. I love the Olive Burnished color.

I almost didn’t buy these because i didn’t think i ‘needed’ them. Now i sincerely wonder what i used to wear before. They are super comfortable and go with everything (Stone color). With plantar fasciitis, comfortable shoes that are this cute are hard to come by!
