Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

Ordered these in a 38, equivalent to 7 1/2 to 8. Fit was great, arch support was superb! Got these for a wedding rehearsal reception but think they might also work for the wedding. The Sand Dollar color is a pretty classic nude color. I am very, very happy with this purchase!

just what I wanted. red, lighter wt than my Dansko clogs but , BUT these size 38s measure 3/4 " shorter than the clogs. That's only reason for my return. I hope Dansko will check size specs for these lighter wt shoes. Thanks Zappos for making the return easy.Im giving 4 stars only because they are too short.

love the way these feel and look, however they run a little short

This style has been my go-to shoes for standing 8 hours in retail. I only wear Dansko brand because of quality and comfort. Wish there could be a more dressy pair that feels this comfortable,

These shoes are comfortable I been waiting for this to be back in stock. I'm normally wear size 7.5 (wide feet) but I got this at 8 and it was perfect size. The insole size for 8 is 9.5

Cute and comfortable. Love clogs but need something with same excellent support, but a different look? These are them.

I love the look of these shoes! I know my size in Dansko’s, and they fit me well, so these are true to size for me. I’m a little disappointed in the sole, as it’s not as heavy as I’d hoped, and faux wood grain (maybe I missed that in the description). I’m keeping them for sure, though! They are super cute with tights or alone.

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.

The ankle strap is way too loose for me, and you can only adjust the front of it not the back. I didn't feel secure walking around because my feet shift around. Also, the side of the ankle just felt weirdly placed or too big. I want to try the Dansko Missy, but probably just need to go back to the Marcelle.

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.

I SO WISH these would have fit properly. I found the straps around the ankle to be too thin (width across) and just didn't look right on my foot. That paired with the portion of the top that crosses my foot across the top sort of cut into my foot meant they headed back to Zappos. Too bad, they seem to have a great footbed with good support.

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!

Neutral, reasonably sleek styling with clunky sole. The plastic base seems cheap, though, and the top is stitched, rather than stapled. Doesn't feel as durable as classic Danskos.

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 already have this shoe in black. My new employer requires us to work in closed toed shoes so sadly, my Dansko sandals sit in the closet until the weekends now. I ordered this brown pair one size bigger than the black. I wear a 9 so I got this one in a 40 for a little more comfort.

I have been wearing this particular shoe for at least 20 years. I usually have 2 going at one time. The shabby older pair for knocking around and the newer ones for better appearances. Over the years they have changed from the footbed being made in Poland to the footbed now being made in China. Need I say it? The change has not been for the better as far as the consumer goes. The footbed is a bit shorter than it ought to be and the arch does not do what I expect and require. Is it really necessary for profit to eek a tiny bit of rubber out of each footbed? Greatly disappointed at the cheapening of an otherwise perfect product.
