Customer Reviews Sanita Original Vegan Professional Valera

I was very excited to buy these vegan clogs by Sanita from Zappos - I love the design & colors, etc. However I am, to date, extremely disappointed in the fit of these clogs. They are SUPER uncomfortable to wear especially across the instep. I have been trying to break them in for quite some time now by wearing them with thin socks and they still hurt my feet like hell. I emphasize that the socks are thin because, as tight as these clogs fit, I don't see how I could even wear thick socks with them. I'm especially disappointed because there is nothing unusual about my feet with respect to width, arch, or anything else. I wear a size 8 - period - I am a perfectly average size 8. The sizing for these clogs clearly states "8-8.5". So a "8 to 8.5" should certainly not feel too tight and yet these do. Sanita should be much more diligent about labeling their sizes correctly. The "8-8.5" is in reality a 7 to 7.5, with respect to American-sizing anyway. Sanita also needs to label their clog colors accurately - they call this clog "blue" which is a joke. The clog has no blue whatsoever - it is gray/silver/black. Zappos was kind enough to refund my money in full for these clogs which I very much appreciate.

I am looking for a vegan clog to wear in the cardiac surgery OR and the options are extremely limited. There are not many print options and this wouldn't be my first choice. Ultimately I had to return this pair because the fabric upper will absorb blood and body fluids. They are fabric rather than "vegan leather" as indicated in the description. I ended up going with the Crocs Neria Pro II, which are nonabsorbent and half the price. I previously had a pair of Sanitas and they were pretty good comfort wise and just okay on arch support. I would have plantar fasciitis after standing 10-12 hours in the OR.

I ordered another vegan shoe which was a little large (size 38) but I think will work with thicker socks. Your company is great! Friendly and helpful and the personal card was a nice touch. And the free shipping was awesome too.

Nothing but gorgeous and comfortable!!

Because of an accident I needed a shoe that was the same height as my leg boot I'm wearing while on the mend. It needed to be flat, stable, and with a closed back. The one I'm using while in recovery is working perfectly. Fun pattern and dark gold color goes with most clothes. Might be a little warm for some people but for me just fine. Can't wait to wear them both!

These run small. I wear a 40 in Dansko clogs, but these were short in the toebox and tight in the top of the foot. Style is OK. I wish they had other designs and materials in their vegan line.
