Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

Dansko, looks like I'm going to have to give up on you. I love clogs and have tried on many of your styles, but have never been able to wear them because they refuse to fit my long, size 9.5-10 narrow feet. My true size is 10AA, but since cute narrow shoes are so hard to find, I compromise by buying 9.5B, and that usually works. But not with Danskos. The design of this shoe is exactly my style, a two-piece ankle strap. I'm able to adjust the ankle strap to perfect fit, but the toe box is too roomy and rubs my skinny foot on top and on both sides. I just finished trying them on and now I have to send them straight back. Please, Dansko. Please! Make this shoe to fit narrow feet. I hate returning something that looks so right yet fits so wrong.

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 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!

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.

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!

Cute & comfortable shoe that looks great with long flowing skirts. I purchased these for work. I have wide feet but these fit perfectly. They are comfortable but my back was a little sore on a day when I walked in them a lot. I like the brown color but the beige/sand color looked really weird on me. I will be keeping the brown but returning the beige ones.

I really wanted these to work but the leather at the top was so hard and almost immediately gave my blisters. The toe box also felt small.

Unfortunately, these just won't work for me. The buckle is a pain to use (I wish it was a velcro closure that just looks like a buckle). The toe box is also very tight and uncomfortable. Took me about 10 seconds to realize this was just not going to work for me. I tried a different style (Dankso Tiffani) and those were so much more comfortable.

very cute style unfortunately the leather was very hard and uncomfortable and I need to return.

I’ve been wearing dansko’s for years and these were particularly narrow and not as comfortable as the other styles I’ve worn.

I needed to replace an old pair of red mary janes that bit the dust. These looked to be the right style and color, but I have had mixed success with Dansko. I usually take an 8 medium, and I ordered a 39. They were slightly big, which was mitigated by the strap. So far so good, but upon wearing the shoes I found them extremely uncomfortable. The material is very stiff and rubbed when walking around. I tried them with thin socks, which was an improvement in comfort but detracted from the style. Also, the buckles are really stiff, fussy and hard to fasten. I wanted to like and keep them but due to the many issues, I am returning them.

I’m new to clogs so I ordered this and the Tiffani, both in my usual size. These were short, my toes were right up against the end. The style is also just a little more clunky than the Tiffani, which is cut just a bit closer to the toes. Both have awesome arch support, much better than most shoes, which is what I was hoping for with my difficult feet. Returning these and keeping the Tiffanis which fit perfectly.

I need black closed toed shoes for work and this is the closest design to the Dansko maryjane style shoes I have been wearing for years. These are cute, and comfortable sole, good support. But they are too short- I normally wear 42 in Dansko, and after reading reviews about sizing up, I bought the 43 and they were still too short. My large toe was touching the front of the shoe. I couldn't be more disappointed. They went back the next day.

These are very nice shoes that would probably work well for someone as long as you don't have high arches. I have very high arches and the straps were too tight on the first hole. They needed about .25 inches more strap to be comfortable for me. I was worried that it would stretch out so had to return them but really liked the look of the sandals.

Unfortunately these shoes were a little to stiff for me as well as a bit too narrow. I know leather stretches but I don't want to get blisters waiting for that to happen. For these reasons I need to return them.

This is my normal Dansko size but felt at least a size smaller.

Too heavy for me. Also, not enough ankle support for my foot.

Great

I love the style and they are very comfortable. I just didn't like the blue color so I'll reorder in brown. I'd just have preferred a darker blue that was uniform in color throughout. This one is just darker around the toe area.

Had to return these because the straps were too short. The DENIM color fit perfect!

The arch support was so high that my toes didn't touch the tip. All of my weight was balanced on my arch and heel. Didn't work for me!

These are a bit too much clog! I wanted something a bit more dressy. The fit was fine.

Cute shoe but was smaller than I expected. Definitely could be comfortable if I could get them a half size larger.

These dug into the lateral edges of my feet and would've caused a blister or maybe even a cut, so I am returning them. They are cute and seem supportive.

I love Dansko and these are comfortable, but are nearly impossible to buckle. Not worth the hassle for me!
