Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

I work on cement floors eight hours a day and my back was killing me. I started exclusively wearing clogs during the winter and was already stressed about what to wear for summer that wouldn’t look ridiculous. Even my husband thought these clog maryjane’s were adorable. I’m getting the same support I did with a full clog. Very pleased!

I love Danskos but these shoes were too narrow for me and I have a very normal/average size foot.

I love my new Dansko clog/sandals. They are so cute and comfy! Every time I where them someone compliments them! I’m on my feet constantly throughout the day and my feet don’t hurt!

Am very happy with these shoes. They fit perfectly, do not cut into the upper part of either foot despite standing for long periods. I have a difficult time finding shoes that a accommodate bunions and bent toes but these are perfect. I ordered size 39 even though I wear a 38 in some other shoes based on a couple reviews.

I haven't worn them out yet, but I did try them on and they fit perfectly! I have a number of other pairs of Dansko shoes like this. Can't wait to wear them out. I bought them to wear with a dress or pants. I love that they have an enclosed toe, but yet the look of a sandal. Very versatile shoes-that's why I ordered them. Will probably order a pair in beige as well.

Great shoe for being on your feet all day! This is the second pair I’ve bought. I work 10-12 hour shifts in a retail pharmacy and these shoes keep my feet happy. They are pretty stylish for such a comfortable shoe. I like the adjustable strap.

I was looking for something to replace the Trista Dansko shoes that I LOVED from a few years ago that Dansko no longer makes, and these are it! The Sam style is much more comfortable than the Malin, which are cuter but are really heavy and I found hard to wear. I plan to buy other colors of the Sam style as I am able!

Size up! I ordered my normal size 37 and I could not get my foot into the front part of the shoe. I ordered a 38 and they now fit. My foot is wide and would not fit into the 37. They are very comfortable and cute!

So so cute! Now I want every color. I am a true 9C, and sometimes Danskos run a little narrow-I invested in shoe stretchers for my bunions/bunionettes (thanks to a lengthy Nursing career). The 39 seems to be perfect length and width wise, not to mention the comfy foot beds. There is about a half inch at the back past my heel, so the foot bed is plenty long-but more importantly, my toes and joints are happy. I have several other newer Danskos in multiple styles also in size 39, which seems to be my size-however my older ones (2006) are 40’s and fit the same.

I had to order a size up, size 40 for my 9/9.5 US size. Cannot beat the arch support if you have a high arch, high instep like me. I can stand in these all day. Unlike the clogs, no pressure over the instep. And very cute!

I love my new shoes!

Had to return for next size up. If you wear a half size, order up. Excellent comfort for all day wear and cute style. No cutting in at top of foot as with the clogs. Great for high arch, high instep.

I usually wear size 39 (8 1/2 or 9) even in other Dansko shoes but in the Sam style they were way too short. I had read it online but since I never wear shoes larger than 9 I tried anyway. The 40s fit great - I’m glad I tried again.

I bought these last year as a shoe for conferences because it was dressy enough and looked comfortable enough, and I could wear it with socks if it's cold or bare feet if it's warm. It is a beautiful shoe on anyone, however after walking two miles in them this week (the trial run before the next conference which can add 5 miles easy) I realized that both my feet hurt - one of my toes was very painfully hitting the top of shoe, and the bunion developing on my other foot became excruciating. As much as I love the shoe I will wear it to work or for short distances under a mile from here on. Shopping for an adjustable sandal for the conference.

I have been looking for a replacement option for my favorite Dansko Thea shoe, and these get pretty close. They have less height than the Thea but they still give me a couple of inches. I preferred the Sand color in the Thea as it was a bit lighter and worked better with my pale skin. These are a bit more khaki toned, but will still work as a neutral/nude. I dinged them a star on style and overall because they have that fake wood look on the sides of the base. However, these are shoes I will continually grab for spring and summer, because they are super comfortable and I can wear these at work due to the closed toe.

I love these shoes. I’ve never had a bad pair of Danskos and these are no exception. Plus they’re WAY cute and will go with just about everything from jeans to skirts and beyond.

I’ll order these again. I put in about 2000 hours tending bar in these shoes. I prefer the ankle buckle clog over the traditional clog. They are easier for me to hustle in. I did have to break in the toe box on the right shoe that caused a good few day’s discomfort but then I was so happy with the fit.

Love this shoe. The moment I put it on it felt great. Even more comfortable than other Dansko styles.

Love the Dansko "Sam." The most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm a hairdresser and stand all day and my feet still feel good after work. So much so, that I often keep them on into the evening. Ordered the black (they were perfect) and then ordered the Sand Dollar. Had to return the Sand because it looked like they'd been worn. Called and asked for a brand new pair. Zappos, with the best customer service, sent them right out and the second pair were perfect. The leather on this shoe is nice...not at all stiff but not super soft either. Again, perfect! Love the style...can wear with long and short dresses/skirts, cuffed, cropped, wide leg jeans or pants, shorts...extremely versatile. And unlike wooden clogs, they are quiet on hardwood and tile floors. I've worn the Dansko clogs for years and they are comfortable as well. But the "Sam" provides exceptional arch support for me. Can't say enough good things, except I'd love to see them again in solid colors; red, green, blue, etc. Bravo, Dansko. Bravo, Zappos!

Perfect right out of the box. Love the color - Stone Wavy Burnished - fit it great for my high rigid arches, tendinitis medium to narrow foot. 38 is perfect (usually a 7-7.5 in other shoes) Looking forward to spring & summer in these. Also really light weight compared to other Dansko shoes.

The insole was comfy but the ankle strap was too high and rubbed my ankle at the wrong place, due to previous ankle injury.

Perfect

I love these right out of the box. They're cute and comfortable and I think I'll get a ton of wear out of them this spring and summer. I usually wear a US 9 (occasionally an 8.5) and the Dansko 39 always fits me perfectly.

These "bit" into the sides of my feet when wearing them. The style was fairly nice, but not great. They are clearly good quality, but just didn't suit me well.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. The weather in CA is still a little cold to wear open back shoes but I can’t wait until the weather improves!
