Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

These are my first Danskos. I wanted something somewhat dressy that would look cute with pants, jeans or even dresses/tights. These fit the bill. I have fallen arches, tailors bunions, bursitis in my right foot, and instability/tendinitis in my left ankle. They were a little stiff and rubbed somewhat the first few wears, but now my feet are happy in them for 12 hours at a time. I have very thin ankles, and due to my ankle issues I need ankle straps that fit very snug, which can be tricky, but these are perfect on the tightest hole. These definitely felt a full size too small. I'm usually a 9 or 9.5 but the 40 didn't fit, had to get the 41.

I've always loved Danskos because I know I can count on support for my high arches. I'm so glad these were restocked.

I LOVE this shoe. Very stylish and comfortable. I did have to wear a metatarsal pad, however. But, overall a great shoe. I wore them all summer long. Great with dresses as well as jeans. A quality shoe. One thing that I find with Dansko is that they tend to squeak. In other words, in my quiet office you could hear me coming. I don't like that.

These are great shoes - cute and comfortable. I ordered my regular size (38) for a size 7.5 foot and they fit great. There is more room in the toe box like a traditional Dansko clog (eg the Professional Clog). For those of you comparing, the shoe is wider than the Marta style - which I also got in my regular size and love. The Sam has enough room to allow for socks or tights without pinching my feet. The footbed is soft and is fine to wear without socks, too.

I haven't worn Danskos in 20 years--since the Sonja clog was my go-to for every day wear. I hardly know why I got rid of them! When I recently injured my right knee and developed what felt like plantar fasciitis in both feet, I knew it was time to wear them again. I needed shoes that would support my feet for standing at work and for the usual few miles a day I walk on weekends in the city. I love this shoe! Only days before they arrived, I was hobbling around the house, barely able to take a step. I was pain free within one day of wearing them! It isn't the most stylish of the Dankso line, but it might be the most comfortable, and the I love the nude color--looks great with cigarette pants at work and jeans on the weekend. I'm such a fan of Dansko that I've purchased 3 more pairs since receiving this one a few weeks ago.

Wonderful shoes. Very comfortable, great neutral color, cute. I am a size 8 with a wide foot and size 38 in these fit perfectly. Wore them to work without any breaking in, was on my feet for 10 hours and they were perfectly comfortable.

Purchased these in the sand color and in black. It's the support of the professional clog, but in a "lighter" style vs the "heavy" look of the full clog. I wear a 42, and these were true to size. I have some issues with the strap causing discomfort when I'm walking a lot in these shoes. Like the professional clog, your heel moves up and down with every step. If the ankle strap is too loose, your foot will hit it. These have become my go to spring shoes, despite trying to get my ankle straps just right. The support is outstanding!

I normally where a 38 (or between a 7.5 to 8 US), but I decided to go up a size to a 39 and I'm glad I did! They are perfect! I have skinny-ish ankles and have been able to "break them in" to the 4th hole in the strap. I put quotes are break them in because they were comfortable out of the box and I wore them everyday for two weeks prior to a trip to New York. There wasn't any rubbing at all. I will say that your toe area can get a bit sweaty, but it's to be expected with a leather shoe like this. I ended up purchasing some "Chinatera Cotton Half Insoles Pads" from Amazon which are socks that work with this shoe. In combination with these socks, this shoe is AMAZING. I don't have to worry about sweating in the shoe. I live in Southern California so there's no shortage of days where I might sweat, so these socks are awesome with the shoe. I wear these shoes everywhere. They look great with pretty much everything: skinny jeans, skirts, long dresses, shorts, etc. I got them in Sand, and being pale, make my legs look super long. I would normally wear a boring flat, but these have upped my style game and make an outfit look more put together even while being casual. Totally recommend in combination with those socks I mentioned.

I purchased these in my regular size and they fit perfect. They are comfortable and they heel height is perfect. No issues at all.

I love Dansko and always take a 37 in the clog styles (sometimes go up to 38 for the heeled styles). This was no exception. However, the "Sand Dollar" color looks like a good nude color online - here and at other sites, including Dansko's own images - but in person it is a much darker brown than my skin tone, so it did not look nude. It is not "brown" (like the Teak) but definitely more of a mocha or similar. Not a color I need or want. Sorry, Zappos and Dansko! But you had fabulous service as usual.

I love these shoes! I normally wear a 10.5/41 but like some of the reviews below, I would definitely size up. I went with the 42 and I'm glad I did! These were comfortable and soft right out of the box. Love them!

I bought these shoes five years ago and I still wear them regularly. I've worn them to festivals, trips abroad, my job (I'm a hairstylist and stand all day) and they still feel great. I got the sand dollar color and they did start looking pretty dirty after a year but a simple leather dye and a buff made them into a whole new shoe. Nice enough to wear with a dress on a date but not so fancy it looks strange at work or with jeans. I have narrow ankles and the strap adjustment really helped with fit.

I love these shoes! I am on my feet all day and they are so comfortable but also stylish. I bought a size 37 even though I'm usually a 7.5 shoe size. I got a lot of compliments on these shoes and would buy them in another color!

I like the style of this shoe and it is very comfy. I got both size 41 and 42. I'm a size 11 and the 42 is a better fit for me.

These shoes are awesome. Took some time to break in but well worth it. I ordered my usual Dansko size and they fit perfect.

Bought the Dansko Sam in sand and absolutely love them. They are great for spring, so comfortable and cute with everything!

This is my second pair of Dansko Sam's. I ordered the black pair first and loved them so much that I returned for the sand dollar. I truly think that I could discard all of the other pairs of black shoes I have in my closet, although I likely will not. I love the sand dollar color just as much, and they could go with anything.

Bone spurs on top of my big toe made these unbearable- couldn't get my foot in them. They are much narrower in the toe box than the professionals, which I wear and live. So sad - they are super cute and comfy foot bed. Returning

This has always been my favorite Dansko style and I was bummed out when it wasn't in the line up last year. I have a wide foot, sometimes needing a E width, and many Dansko styles that fit initially end up destroying my feet by the end of the day. This one fits perfectly. It can be dressed up or down and holds up to miles of walking each day.

For my work, I must wear closed-toed shoes. I was looking for a summer option and being on my feet all day appreciate the comfort with Dansko shoes. They're not the most stylish shoes, but very comfortable and I am happy with this purchase.

I absolutely love these shoes. I was looking for closed toe summer shoes for work .. It is way more difficult to fine closed toe summer shoes appropriate for office attire. Add in the fact that I have a size 12 foot that is quite wide. Double the trouble of finding a cute shoe. I will order the other colors for sure. If anyone knows of another cute wide closed to shoe for work....I am open for suggestions.

I love these, they are my first pair of danskos and I'm very happy! I work on my feet 8 hrs a day and these stand up. The only complaint I have is the first week of wearing them, the leather on the straps rubbed a bit, but they are almost broken in now and no more rubbing!

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I love that I can wear them to work with a dress or just as easily with jeans.

This must be the 10th pair of Danskos I've purchased in the last 20 years. As usual the fit beautifully right out of the box. I wore them to an event where I was standing for 8 hours the day after receiving them and my feet didn't hurt at all. Cute, stylish and easy to dress up or down. I love them!
