Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

Needed to replace an old pair of Danskos - tried on many styles and brands of clogs and came back to Dansko. The fit on the Sam is perfect and the style works for dressy or casual. Love them!

I loved these shoes from the second they arrived. I bought them for work because our tasting room requires black shoes and ballet flats just don't cut it. The first day I got them I refused to take them off because they were so comfortable. I'm a size 7.5 and I ordered a size 38. For this particular shoe it was perfect. They look absolutely adorable with jeans and the black slacks I have to wear to work. And they more than support my feet while I'm at work. That's saying something because I have pretty high arches and my feet can get sore quickly standing for 7 hours a day. I'm thinking about getting them in the other 2 colors, not for work but just because I love how well they fit and how cute they are!

I bought these shoes about ten years ago when they were still made with nubuck suede. They are awesome and can still be worn to this day. Because they were made with suede at that time they did not cut into my feet so I cannot speak to that.

This was my first Dansko purchase, and it was a disappointment. I found the footbed to be incredibly wide, and the shoe uncomfortable due to the lack of cushioning and the inflexible sole. Will have to return.

Finally found these in the euro 43. The fit is great. I have long narrow size 11, and Dansko usually fits short and wide for me. When I found these one size larger than I would normally purchase I was worried they would be too wide. However, not so. The way the front fits around the top takes care of everything.

These shoes are comfortable and they met the criteria for my office. I needed a safe, closed toe shoe that still gave me a little lift because I'm so short. The only thing I don't like about this shoe is that my socks show on the top of the shoe. My pants are usually fairly long and I usually wear a clog. I guess it's just the style. The Dansko clog is too tight across the top of my foot so this was a better fit for me, but I don't like my sock to show between the shoe and my pants.

I have a pair of Dansko clogs in this exact same style (or so I thought) from more than 5 years ago. Same Mary Jane style, same strap, same foot bed . . . . but completely different shoe! The material for the heel is lighter weight and less durable, the straps are thinner and less comfortable and -- the kicker for someone with a wide foot and the toe box is downright skimpy compared to the clog I know and love. What has happened to this brand? I miss Dansko and despair of this cheesy imposter! I'm going to gorilla glue the soles of my old clogs and wear them another 5 years. :(

I was a Dansko virgin until I took the plunge and bought the "Sam" in brown. It's one of the only shoes (outside of riding boots, flip flops, and sneakers) that I can wear on my whole commute standing on the train, all day long, and then home again. The foot support is excellent, and unlike many other Danskos, the ankle strap prevents it from flipping off of the back of your heel. I'm a 10.5, and ordered the 41, which was perfect. If I were a true 11, the 41 might have been a bit short. In terms of style, Danskos are never going to be the fashionista's choice, but the Sam is one of the better options. It has a clog look without being Clog. I wear it with pants and casual skirts, though I can't wait to try it with tights for the fall!

Love Zappos. Seems Dansko sizing is now smaller since I have worn them for years. Great quality, but just too small for me.

This shoe, like many other danskos of similar style, cut across the top of my foot. It wasn't as comfortable as I wanted given how terrible it looked on me.

Love these shoes. I have a retail job that keeps me on my feet for long hours. These shoes keep my feet and legs happy. Plus, they look great with skirts and dresses - Dansko clogs although delightfully comfy, look silly with skirts and dresses at my age.

Just wanted to say "ditto" to everyone who suggested getting a size larger than you think you need. My Dansko professionals are a 39, but I needed a 40 in the Sams to give my long toes enough room.

This is my second pair of Dansko Sam. I got it in black as well. I love that it's very comfy and stylish. I highly recommend this!

I never, ever write internet reviews. In fact, this is my first ever. If you're like me and need a wide shoe, these are one of the only Danskos that fit the bill. I've been through more pairs of Danskos trying to find a good width, and these are it! The holy grail! They are comfortable, stable, and not too heavy at all. I want them in every color.

Well, I have really enjoyed this sandal. I'm a stylist on my feet for long hours. I have sand dollar, pretty with white. Hope this is not discontinued. Today I'm sure this shoe is a keeper, my son & I had to push start my car. You guessed it, I was wearing Sam running to push my car. Wow, they were comfortable even at 44! How many shoes could you say that about?

I have wide feet, I found this shoe to be comfortable with the once exception around the brim of the shoe was a litte tight for my wide foot and become uncomfortable as I went throught the day. If you are a medium-width this shoe should be comfortable for you. The shoe also makes your foot look bigger.

These shoes are heaven on earth. Every other shoe in my order felt like a cement block after I'd tried on these clogs. The leather is soft, and they were lighter weight than I'd anticipated adding to their appeal for me. I typically wear a size 9.5 or 10 M shoe but I wear a size 41 in Danskos. Love these shoes!

I love Dansko, and was hoping these would be the same fit and comfort, but a little more 'summery'. They are, and my feet were immediately happy in them. Zappos always sends them so quickly...thanks.

I had been eyeing this shoes for a while. I have them in the sand dollar color. They are super comfortable and a lot more stylish that other Danskos - great for that "in between" spring and fall weather. however, they make my feet stink! My feet have never smelled before but after wearing these my feet smell - I think it's because the leather at the front doesn't allow the foot to breathe mixed with the cushioned/soft footbed that breeds bacteria. I have to wipe the sole clean every few weeks and put my shoes in the freezer to kill the bacteria. It's kind of ridiculous - especially since my feet have never smelled. Other than that - these shoes are great!

I love these shoes. Like all Danskos, they offer solid construction, firm support and supple leather. I particularly like that there is no inner stitching or bumps on the ankle straps or insole that would chafe. The straps are adjustable so it is easy to slip on and the closed toe design is work-friendly. Oh, and the style is relatively cute. Being pregnant, I ordered one size up from my usual and these shoes are necessities. No more sore feet!

Love. Why did I wait this long to try a pair of Dansko's? As long as I moving my feet do not hurt; standing in one spot my feet start to hurt in about an hour. Out of the box I stood in these shoes for about 11 hours. I wear a 7.5-8 and ordered a 38. They fit perfect. These shoes were made in China which was a surprise to me. I checked into it further and they are made in both Italy and China. They look even better on than they do in the picture!

These are perfect! Ever-so-slightly too long for my 6 1/2 foot, but nothing major. The leather is soft, and required little breaking in. I can easily walk over a mile per day in these.

I love these. They are true to size and good even for a narrow foot, offering great arch support too. Especially nice is the soft footbed and leather on the shoe itself.

Comfortable right out of the box. I bought and wore these for a business trip to travel in and wear with multiple outfits in a hot and humid climate. I walked from my hotel to the conference and wore them all day. Only at the very end of a very long day with a lot of walking did the strap rub on one foot - not the front of the shoe though. The leather is very soft, and the heel height is dressy but comfortable. I wear an 8 1/2 to 9 and have a wide forefoot and very high arches, and the 39 fit perfectly. I do see how they are a tad shorter than the professional clogs, but they still fit me just fine.
