Customer Reviews Dansko Sam

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

I wanted to love these shoes, but front sides were cutting into the front of my feet. The width was wide enough on the sole, but the leather was too hard against my skin. A softer leather might have been better.

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.

Too short, not comfie

These shoes are cute! The fit was a bit off. I ordered a 38 and they fit well, but the front opening was slightly too narrow and pinched the outside of my foot. I used a shoe horn and stretched them out slightly and then they fit perfectly. Going up a size would’ve made them too big. Glad they fit after I stretched them.

I had been looking at these shoes for some time and finally decided to buy them. I liked both the sand dollar color and the red so I bought both. They fit really well. I have bunions and Dansko is the only shoes I can wear without discomfort. I have been wearing Dansko clogs exclusively for at least twenty years. I softened the leather with Bag Balm which is pure lanolin. It made the shoes softer and they broke in very quickly. And it added a luster and deepened the color to a perfect hue. I have gotten lots of compliments. I love them.

These black Dansko Sam, fit will on my foot, the straps do not cut into the ankle bone and they feel secure on my foot. Usually this brand gets loose after awhile and then the toe of the shoe begins to get "floppy" not good for hallux rigidus. And at these prices, they could last a few years hopefully.

This is my second pair of Dansko Clogs. The other pair I own is very similar but the heel is higher. The real test is that I wore them to work. No pain whatsoever, the clogs are keepers.

Too small

I love these shoes! I have the same style in a more neutral color, from about 10 years ago, and love those too. Looking forward to wearing the red ones this summer and fall.

Very cute shoe. They run large though so had to return.

Right foot toes touching the top of shoe. Normally doesn’t this type of shoe. This is the size I wear, normally. Also, the left shoe strapped looked worn. The other looked bran new.

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.

This is a super cute shoe with excellent arch support! I usually can't go long without my orthotic, which is really difficult in the warmer months. Although I can't wear my orthotic in these Danskos, the arch support is excellent and feels great on my feet! They look great with pants, shorts or dresses.

Perfect fit. Same size as my other Dansko clogs, heels and athletic shoes. I have this style in brown, but have wanted the red and am very happy! It's a pretty bright red- different than the Bria cinnabar which is a deeper raspberry. Light and comfortable right out the box!

These fit true to size. They are almost as comfortable as the Brenna style. They are dressier and work barefoot. The strap is a bit hard to get on, but I prefer not to unbuckle them, That would make it easy. The hard sole is what I seek and these provide the support needed for my tender metatarsal joint. The top comes up high enough to not cut into that joint.

I love these shoes! I wore them to sing in a concert requiring nearly 2 hours standing and my feet felt great! Wore them to church the next day, my ankle twisted and the strap broke. The leather had not been sewn down, only glued. It was only on that one side. An oversight I’m sure. I had to send them back. Plan to order again!

Very cute! I like the closed toes, the color and the heel height. Clogs are very loud and clompy, though, so no sneaking quietly in these!

I love the color but it too wide.

These clog type round toe stitched rather than stapled sling backs are just what I wanted but as one other review stated, they run slight short at big toe. I wear Dansko size 38 in clogs which measure one inch longer than these so I'm debating whether to try 39 or simply return them. The width is fine, somewhere between N and M the strap hits me where it should so a 39 might be just not right. We'll see. I recommend these though if you normally wear a 7 1/2. ( I'm pretty much 8 in Merrell, Alegria, Sorel, Crocs, Keen, my other go to choices)

Received these with no original packaging, and schmutz/fuzz and bits of dirt in the foot bed so must assume that this pair is often returned. Ages ago I had a pair of this style that were very comfortable, but sadly these didn't fit at all. To compare, I also got the Dansko Tiffani, both in a size 38. When put side by side they look like they are the same size, but on the foot Sam feels an entire size smaller - I was getting a sort of foot 'muffin top' and my toes were nearing the end of the toe box. The Tiffani in the same size was a bit roomy, definitely felt like a true 38. Aside from quality control issues, which is sad in a shoe that costs over $120, the only other conclusion is that the shoe I was sent was not a 38 - there were no size markings anywhere on it, and the original packaging was lost.

l love the dansko shoe styles but they run one half size too small. The size 12 are are really 11 1/2. l need a real 12.
