Customer Reviews Sanita Professional Oil

I was not originally in love with these b/c they weren't as comfy as all my other clogs (by Dansko), but I decided to keep them b/c they are cute enough. I wore them on occasion in summer without socks or with hidden low-cut socks and they were comfortable. Now that it's fall/winter, I wear them with a thicker sock and they feel just as comfortable. They are getting more broken in which helps, too. The grey color is VERY appealing and versatile!

I tried these to compare with Dansko. These definitely run narrower, so I am glad I got them in a wide width. The width was still slightly snug wearing socks, but it wasn’t an issue. The downfall was the very pronounced arch support. I have a neutral arch and don’t usually have a problem like this, but these felt like I was walking on a hard tennis ball halfway down in the shoe. I really like the shoes otherwise, but know I won’t wear them if they hurt, so I will need to return them. I did hear that each shoe is unique, so I may try them again another time.

I love my Sanitas- I've been wearing them for many years of hospital shifts. This particular style comes with a squishy footbed that I didn't notice when I ordered them- Im not crazy about and I think it makes the shoe feel less roomy (compared to my other sanitas) and a little less stable when I walk. I prefer a firm footbed. Birkenstocks with the soft footbed irk me too. However as soon as I can smoosh it down they will be perfect. I love the gray color!

I have been on the fence about these shoes but I plan on keeping them. I ordered a size bigger than normal based on the reviews but they were way to big. I returned them for my usual size and although they feel a little snug, I think they just need to be broken in. They are fairly stiff but they have a nice cusion and the arch support feels pretty good, good enough that I won't need my arch supports for general wear. The style is cute and exactly what I wanted.

Lots of room in the toe box and a lot of room in the back of the clog, too much room, which I could have lived with except for the instep. I have a high instep and whatever Sanita is using now fir that part of the shoe makes it almost impossible to get your foot into the shoe and it makes it feel tighter all around. Unfortunatley, these needed to be returned. It would really be nice if companies making clogs would offer half sizes and smaller sizes, such as 4 to 4.5 in wide options because some women have small, wide feet.

I have bought Sanita clogs for at least a decade. I usually wear a size 10 US shoe, but a Sanita 41 is too small. So, I buy a 42, but for this shoe, 42 was also too small. I had to exchange it for a 43.

First pair of Sanita clogs. Have been wearing Dansko clogs for 10+ years. Decided to try out a Sanita due to price difference. Followed Sanita size chart and ordered 39 wide (am 38 wide in Dansko). Length feels fine but they are wider than Dansko, which is good for me. Arch support is definitely not as pronounced as Dansko. This has not been a problem for me, yet. They are definitely lighter than Dansko, so I appreciate that. The dark brown clog represented is not the same color I received. My pair is lighter brown and pebbled in texture, which looks nicer, in my opinion.

I wear a 7.5-8 and bought 8-8.5 which were very tight. I am going to try the same size in wide

So disappointed. My old Sanita clogs fit perfectly with enough room for a medium weight sock but I have to return these are they are teeny!! I could barely squeeze my foot on with just nylon trouser socks on - both way too narrow, hard to tell if they were too short also. Felt like one of Cinderella's wicked stepsisters! Not sure if another style might work or if I have to go to Dansko for the right fit. These did not feel like the 39s that I had. Did not see this same feedback in the reviews??

The Sanita professional is my usual go to work shoe - I have replaced them many times over the years and never had a problem with sizing until now. These are narrower and shorter than my old ones. I also do not like the rough texture of the leather that is now being used fo the oiled. Disappointed that a solid and comfortable style for work has been changed.

I wish there were 1/2 sizes. I am 9.5, I ordered 40 and 41 as per the reviews. I will keep the 41 even though they are slightly roomier than I want. I am switching from Dansko bc their sizing is way too large. In Dansko, my size looked liked I had clown shoes on. Sanita just fits me better, and look much better on. I have flat feet, wear inserts, narrow heels, horrible weak ankles. These Sanita clogs give me height, comfort and the funky clog look that only clog-lovers can appreciate:) I’m pretty happy. Please consider manufacturing 1/2 sizes.

I purchased a size 39, like all (5) of my other Sanita clogs. The two pairs I ordered this time both feel tighter, especially across the in step. I started wearing Sanitas almost 10yrs ago so my clogs are older -- maybe they've changed their design?

My foot width is regular, but these regular width shoes were too tight. Exchanging them for a wide pair.

The clogs are inconsistent. One is tighter over the top instep than the other, and it's not comfortable. Very sad because my last pair of Sanita clogs were comfortable and lasted for many years before the rubber heels literally disintegrated. These are going back, and I'm not sure if I'll try again.

A friend has been telling me to try a Sanita, which she feels are much higher quality than Dansko. I ordered this one, but was disappointed in the hard insole and large size. I might try a smaller size - they do run big. I was expecting a softer insole than the Dansko. This "Prof Oil" model was not great looking or quality feeling -- it was a textured leather that felt like bumpy synthetic something, not leather. ?? I should have zoomed in on the picture, as another reviewer said; I thought it looked like suede.

Perfect for work and standing all day.

I originally bought the 40, which is my usual size. I returned those and got these in 41. I still had to have the shoes stretched so I could wear them comfortably without getting to long. They were extremely comfortable until I went a couple weeks without wearing them and they needed to be stretched again. I work in the medical field and these are great for arch support but too much maintenance.

The fit and size were great. Comfortable except for a piece of plastic (or leather) on the inside of the shoe that rubbed. Very disappointed as everything else about the shoes was fine. I ordered two pairs from Zappos to see if one was better than the other, but they were both made the same way. Too bad because Dansko clogs aren't the same as they once were.

Light and gave me good back support. Would have kept them in a minute if not for the cheap interior of the shoe. A piece of leather (plastic?) rubbed against my ankle and made it impossible to be comfortable. Too bad, too, because my old faves, Dansko, are no more. If they could smooth out the insides, it would be bliss. Unfortunately, will be returning.

These ran smaller than other pairs of Sanita I have. I usually wear 39. I would need a 40 in these. They seem comfortable enough but I'm not motivated enough to get the next size. I've ordered a lot of shoes lately. For those of you with narrow feet, this is a good option. They were not too narrow for me but run narrower than other professional style clogs

I adore the look of the shoe. The shoe was very well made. I have “Fred Flinstone feet” so I normally wear a size 7 wide-width. So I ordered a 38 and it was much too big. I felt like I was playing dress-up in my mom’s shoes! Will try again. Love Zappos’s return policy ...Ez-Peasy!

Really painful in the top of my instep. Sadly returning.

This would have been great - I have wide feet with high arches - but seems to run kind of large; also, I like my shoes to fit tightly. Trying again later!

The exact same size as my Dansko's yet the box is very uncomfortable. Had to return them, too painful.

I liked these shoes, out of the Alegria and Danskos I also tried. I have high arches and wide feet. I picked a 37 W, I normally wear 6.5/7 W. The Danskos I tried felt like there was a hard bar across the top of the shoe. I read that was a common complaint for people with high arches. The Sanitas didn't have that problem at all. They also had a nice wide toe box. I was looking for shoes I can wear to work, nursing, where I'm on my feet all day. They also had to be leather or some sort of protection from needle sticks, chemical/biological spills, etc. I actually ended up going with a pair of leather sneakers from Vionic. They had just a little more arch support for me. But if you prefer the clog style and have high arches and wide feet, I'd go with these instead of Danskos. The Alegrias were pretty comfy too, but didn't have a wide enough toe box.
