Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

Love this style. I have a similar style from years ago and was very excited to find these. Ordered two colors, one in 35 and one in 36. The 35 fit better for this style but many of my other Danskos are 36. I’m keeping both pairs and already worn many times.

I wanted to love these, but I couldn't even get my feet in them. I wanted to go up a size, but I already wear a size. Sadly, I had to return them.

These are so cute and comfortable! I’m so happy with them and get lots of compliments.

Fits great!

These are great. They need a little break in time, but they're light and comfy and go with skirts or pants. The olive color translates a little like brown in some light and dark olive in another light - overall very cool.

Originally bought this style nearly 20 years ago and they still look great! My favorite shoe! Wanted a new pair, new color. The footbed is different on the new pair, a cushy material that feels great but I'm concerned how it will wear over time The outer sole is different (an imitation wood/plastic). Other than being concerned over how the shoe will hold up, I still love this classic Dansko style and it's as comfortable as ever!

These shoes are very comfortable. I wore them all day the first time I wore them and they are very light weight, provide good support and are very stylish. I love these shoes!

clunky; may be limited to casual wear. open back limits weather when wear or season

I started working in retail last fall and immediately noticed incredible back pain due to 8 hours on my feet on concrete floors. I already had several pairs of clogs and they saved the day but I started to dread how I would survive once the warmer months came. Thank goodness I found these shoes! They are surprisingly versatile and look adorable with dresses, capris, and shorts. I wore them for the very first time for my 8 hour shift and was in complete comfort.

This is the fourth pair I've ordered.I hope they badd even more colors :)

I love these! They’re perfect for spring and are so comfortable. I wear a 39 in Dansko, and these are no different. They were comfortable right out of the box for all day at work on my feet.

I used to wear Danskos every day before I had kids. They were the most comfortable shoe I'd ever worn, and they looked great dressed up or down. But then my feet swelled up past a 37, and never went back to shape, so I haven't been able to wear the closed-back styles that I loved in the past. Pre-kids I was a 7-7.5 and could get away with the 37 (which I'd recommend for people of the same sizing on this style). Post-kids I became a solid 7.5, which doesn't quite fill a Dansko size 38. I was looking for a summer clog, and tried brands both more expensive and less expensive, but the leather and wood on all the other brands were too stiff for my liking. I tried the SAM, even though the 38 was my recommended size, because the back was open, so if they were too big it wouldn't matter so much. The SAM has soft, high-quality leather and a rubber heal for better walkability. I don't know how people can handle an ankle strap when their soles are wooden! Ouch! HOWEVER, the toe coverage is a bit too blahzeh and the heal is too "mature" looking/short for me. I can't quite pinpoint it, but these simply aren't the most attractive clogs... so I returned them.

I really wanted to like these shoes. Very comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down. However, the sand dollar color was just, blah. Looks much better online than in person.

Great, per usual, as Danskos. They did cut a little tightly across the vamp on my slightly-wider-than-average feet, so I put on some workout socks, warmed them up with the hair dryer, and wore them around the house. I did this twice and the left shoe fits perfectly now; I will probably do it once more on the right. I walked to and from work (25 minutes each way) in them and did great, aside from a little rubbing on the vamp of the right shoe (hence knowing that I need to do the stretching thing once more).

I love the Dansko footbed for its arch support, and this shoe is no exception. After I've worn them all day, they are a tiny bit snug in terms of the width, but I think that overtime that they will stretch out. I bought a 37, which is what I wear in all my Dansko shoes. They are a nice shoe spring/fall shoe and work appropriate.

I love dansko Mary Janes and I’ve had these shoes before. The only difference was the wood was real and I loved that but times have changed since the OG days of Dansko shoes. I usually take a size 6 1/2 in shoes but in Dansko I wear 36. The width is good, I’ve developed a bunion on my right foot and the shoes accommodate my little foot annoyance well. The color Olive is beautiful and the photo does not show the rick dark olive leather as it does up close in daylight. I love the rich color and it’s goes with any color. I think I’d like to see them with a Velcro closure just cuz I’m not able to buckle my shoes due to my age as easily now. Maybe someday? But over all you’ll be very happy with your our purchase if you buy a pair of these fun retro shoes because you can dress these up or down depending on your outfit selection.

I really wanted this shoe to work but I couldn't buckle the strap over my thick ankle and it wasn't long enough to punch another hole in, so I am returning. Sigh.

Dansko once again doesn't disappoint. These fit beautifully, they are great-looking, and I wore them all day at work (on my feet) without any breaking in. I also received several compliments.

I love them!

Loved these shoes, but the Sand color was way too light and close to a nude color. It made the shoes feel like old lady shoes. They were wonderful otherwise. Wish these came in more of a camel color.

Cute but not for wide feet. My feet were bulging out the sides and felt like they were being squeezed at the front. I usually buy a 38 in this brand but my toes were touching the very top of the shoe and felt uncomfortable. A size up would have been way too long so unfortunately these had to go back.

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.

Great shoe! Had no problems wearing them all day on day one. I think they will be my summer office go to shoe, especially when I have to be on my feet all day for events.

Love these sandals, these are my third pair. Super comfortable, I can wear them for travel or work, for multiple days. The color ‘Stone wavy burnished’ wasn’t grey as I had hoped, but it is a nice light brown and will be neutral with light summer colors.

I have four pairs of Danskos, all size 39 (I am a size 8.5). These are SHORT. My toes touched the end. I exchanged for a 40, and they fit like a 39. Width is normal in both sizes. Some breaking in will be required for the toe box, where the edge of the leather meets the top of the foot. Otherwise, very comfortable and stable. A bit of height without the pain of a heel.
