Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

I love Danskos! They are as comfortable as running shoes and don't wear down as fast. I've had many pairs- because new styles are fun! I love Zappos, too: Because Danskos are handmade, each pair is just slightly different. I ordered several pairs of 2 sizes to see which size and specific pair fit best. Once I nailed down the right size, I tried on each pair in that size to see which was most comfortable. I was able to put them on and go- no breaking in. I have worn these with and without socks, depending on the weather. And, I wore them on two recent trips from the Northeast in February to southern CA and FL. It was great to land and slip off the socks! I wear them with capris or ankle pants, skirts, some shorts, jeans, everything basically. They are like ballet flats, but much more comfortable. The nude color on my pale skin is nice- I was looking for this color.

Pretty shoe and idea, but too tight around wide part of foot/toes. I usually wear 38 wide. Wish it came in wide, my bunion can't take the heat. Returning it, sadly.

Awesome shoes. These are my third pair of Danskos and they do not disappoint. So comfortable plus they look great with skirts, jeans, ankle pant and dress pants!

These are the perfect color, match everything and are a great multi-purpose shoe. Good with pants or skirts, spring or fall, walking a lot or just going out to dinner, formal or casual. Total win!

I'm writing this review for anyone else who may need a breathable shoe. This sandal is very cute, but as another reviewer noted, the lining is not breathable. I put on one of the shoes and sat on the sofa working for 10 minutes- my foot was already starting to sweat. I have health issues that require me to stay as cool as possible, and this shoe is not going to facilitate that. A couple of other notes- I have a wide toe box and normal heel, and these sandals fit perfectly (which made me even more bummed about the lining!)...they also felt very secure and stable, which makes me think they'd be great for walking.

i am always a skeptic of those who says shoes are comfortable right out of the box...but they were right about these shoes! I work in a 2 story restaurant with concrete floors...these shoes have endured night after night and been incredible. I had a little sensitivity on the top of my foot where the strap hits after the first day I wore them - but that was a 14 hour day in brand new shoes. No problems with it since. love this shoe and only desire would be for more fun colors in this style

Perfect! Stylish and Dansko comfort! I don't want to take them off. Careful, though, b cz of this gorgeous sandy color, I put mink oil on them to protect them from staining and they did darken to a more light carmel color. Still pretty, but not the same. Fit is as the Dansko clog. Order that size.

I love Danskos, and these are no exception. These have a comfortable, supportive footbed, and the platform gives some height even though the heel isn't too high. My only complaint is that the buckle is a little hard to fasten and unfasten, but hopefully that will improve as the leather breaks in.

I have wide feet and took a chance on these. Unfortunately, one foot is wider on the other and the shoe hit an uncomfortable spot on my wider foot. Also, I was going for a 1970s clog style but found these more of a round-toe chunky mary jane look, almost like a Minnie Mouse shoe. Very cute, but not for me. I think these would be very comfortable on most people's feet-- the one that fit was light and stable while walking.

These are my favorite go-to shoe when the seasons change from sandals to shoes or vice versa. They're dressier than athletic shoes, but I can do almost everything but hike in them even though I actually ended up doing it last weekend. I don't recommend it if there are rocks and tree roots! I made it though, and my feet didn't even hurt. They're also very comfortable walking over cobblestones. I really love all of my Danskos and haven't had a bad pair yet.

I have been having a problem with nerve pain in my foot, and my podiatrist told me to wear Danskos. I have a few pairs of clogs, but wanted to treat myself to something that would bridge the gap between winter and spring. The Sam is perfect! It's even cuter than the photo and very comfortable! I'm go glad I got it. ??

So glad they brought these back. At first they don't feel quite as comfy as my old pair, but they may just require some breaking in. I rarely re-buy shoes I already own, but these are comfortable enough to merit an exception.

I love these shoes! I was really disappointed however that they are not the high quality I usually expect from Dansko. They arrived and only some of the holes on the ankle straps are punched all the way through! (It seems very like the holes were punched in the upper and then after that they were attached to the lower part which had no holes?) So in order to actually wear these I'll have to get an awl to punch through the holes myself (who even has an awl?) I will likely take them to a shoe repair shop for help, but shoes this expensive shouldn't be DIY at all. I should have been able to pull them out of the box and wear them immediately. Sad!

I've had other Danskos and these are just as comfortable. Also, it's nice to be able to find size 5 on Zappos as it is not always easy to find shoes in my size. I bought these for an upcoming trip as I prefer to wear shoes like this rather than sneakers when I am traveling. The shoes fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable. I think they'll be perfect for my trip.

This is my favorite shoe ever. Very comfortable. I have not had any plantar fasciitis pain after wearing these shoes! I bought them in three colors. Love them!

Love my Dansko's! They look great and are very comfortable. Now I do not go hiking in them but I have walked in them for short distances. Great to wear for party, out to dinner, walking down city streets to peruse art galleries.

This is by far my favorite shoe. I recommend the soft leather styles because they are ready to wear from purchase. No blisters, no sore feet. I wish I had a pair for every color of the rainbow. I can't believe I waited this long to be a Dansko customer.

I have bought and worn Dansko shoes for over 20 years. They are comfortable and well made. These did not disappoint. They are true to size and the tooling on the leather is lovely. I would highly recommend these to a friend!

I really love these shoes. I wear a 9-9.5 and the 40 fit the best, 39 was too snug. Inspect the shoe when you first get it though, the straps of mine were different lengths, and after a long day on my feet, the one on my right foot gets a little too snug for comfort, but I'm taking my shoes off at that point anyway. I should have sent them back for another pair, but had already worn them a few times before noticing and seeing the measurable difference. I've only had for a few weeks, but I would buy again.

This shoe is stylish and extremely comfortable, as are all Dansko. I wore the next day all day and my feet did not hurt at all. If you have back problems the Dankso shoe will help. To soften the leather I use Nivea cream (blue container), learned this living in Italy.

They are perfect and so attractive. Very comfortable. I leave for Europe this week so this will be my walking shoe. I wanted something comfortable and not frumpy looking sneakers. They have a great design too.

Love these shoes. They fit and feel great although it is tricky getting the right size since just because you wear one size in a certain style, does not mean you will wear the same size in another style. I wear these with rolled up Boyfriend jeans and a loose sweater or top...I get stopped almost every time I wear them with women asking what they are and where did I get them. They have that distinctive European look.

My size used to be 10aa; and now is a 10 1/2a; the only width available is B, so I needed it to strap on my foot. At times my ankles are swollen, so I needed to loosen the ankle strap; but there is little to let out; the strap could have been more generously longer. The support is good and the heel height is just right. The leather is not the greatest quality and seems more like heavy paper rather than a supple leather. It should be a good walking shoe...yet to be determined. I only wear Dansko now and know why podiatrists recommend this brand.

These are fantastic. Very comfortable and stylish. I get compliments all the time. I usually wear a 41, but in these a 42 felt much more comfortable. I have to go a size up in Danskos in general.

I really like this shoe, it is comfortable to wear all day long even if only standing and walking around. The color goes with most everything and the styling is cute.
