SanitaWomen's Professional Cabrio Clog

I'd previously owned a pair of danskos (purchased after dansko and sanita split), and had mixed feelings about them. The fit on the danskos was uneven, and the top on the right shoe rubbed against my foot in a weird and uncomfortable way. I wanted to try a pair of sanitas on, but it seems like no stores anywhere actually stock them. I decided that with the option of free returns from amazon I didn't have anything to lose in trying a pair, and I'm glad I did!I wear a 7.5 in sneakers (6.5 in heels), so I'm probably on the small side of the recommended fit for these, but I think they fit perfect. The first hour or two in them I noticed the arch as uncomfortably high, but I guess my feet got used to them because now they just fit like a glove. As a nurse I'm on my feet for 8 hours at a time, minimum, and at the end of the shift in these my feet don't hurt at all, and neither does my lower back, which is truly miraculous to me as I've often struggled with back problems. Though I will say that if I worked in an area that required frequent running (Like the ER) I wouldn't opt for these, as they're designed for your foot to slip a bit when you step and that could be dangerous.The fit on these is completely even. The quality is so much better than the danskos. These also don't have the rubber piping stuff along the top edge that the danskos have, so it doesn't rub against my foot.I have 2 complaints, though1. I wish the soles had just a little bit of cushion, or room to add an insole. I get around this by wearing a pair of running socks under my other socks. (since I have a little bit of room in these because I was on the small end of the fit, this works well for me).2. They're awfully shiny. They're not as bad as the patent leather, of course, but they look a little funny when I try to wear them with jeans. I wish there had been a matte option.Overall, they're great shoes, and in my opinion worth the price. They're very solidly made and I have ever reason to believe that they'll last me for years.

I love Sanitas! I have been a big fan of these clogs for many years.Why I Buy Sanita Instead of Dansko?I buy Sanitas because they are still made in Europe verses Dankos which are now made in China. No disrespect to Chinese people. I just like that these European-style clogs are still made in Europe. It's sad that it's not Demark (I believe that they made now be made in Poland?).....but at least still in Europe.The Fit?The fit on this style of clog is very consistent. I believe that once you have figured out the most comfortable Sanita size for you; you can feel comfortable re-ordering that same size each time. If you have been wearing Danskos you will most likely need to go a size up when you order Sanitas. I am a size 42 (I am a American women's 11-12) with almost all Dansko Clogs and other styles; but I am always a 43 when I order Sanita clogs.****There is an interesting write-up at The Clog Outlet .Com's website, if you would like to know more about the Dansko/Sanita shoe structure/sizing differences and the company split back in 2007ish at http://www.clogoutlet.com/Articles.asp?ID=138What Can This Style of Shoe Be Best Worn With?I have three pairs of Sanitas on hand for my work wardrobe. There is a pair in black, a pair in blue and a pair in brown.These clogs work with almost anything casual or business casual. **One thing that I will mention is that if you are lazy about keeping you shoes polished; your satisfaction with the appearance of these clogs will be diminished. I find this especially true with the Blue Cabrios. This is why I rarely wear these to work. The black clogs are definitely the most forgiving in this area. ***My suggestion would be to find a good cobbler (it only costs a couple of dollars to have them buffed, polished and shined for you) or just grab a little jar of polish and get it done. It's easy and only takes a moment. It's well worth it.The Arch Support?I have relatively flat feet and these shoes provide a great built-in arch support. I bought a pair for my mom, who ha pretty high arches, and she did not like them as much. Like anything else......if you are unfamiliar with the style.....you should try a pair on in order to check the size and see how you feel about the arch. I rarely experience back pain.When I have worn other styles of shoes (non-clogs) to work and have been on my feet all day; I do.They are amazing if you are on your feet all day in a culinary job, are in the medical field, etcetera.Break-In Period?Oddly enough, I don't ever feel as though there is a real "break-in" period with these shoes. They never pinch or rub. The leather is, of course, stiffer when they are new but quickly softens and conforms to your foot.Yes, They Can Last You a While. :The shoes can last a long time. I am on my feet most of the day(I am hard on shoes) and I have been wearing a couple of these pairs for more than 2 years. I have a Cabrio colored pair, that I don't wear as often as the black or brown, that I have been wearing for at least 5 years.If you only wear the shoes casually or to an office job; you may be able to get much longer out of them with regular maintenance and polishing.They insides will, of course, break down inside over time. All shoes have a lifespan....whether it's running shoes or 5" heels. :)If you have only a single pair and do not rotate your work shoes; you may opt to replace the shoes sooner.You will know when it's time to replace them by how they feel. It's subtle; but you will know.All of that having now been said...... I highly recommend Sanita Clogs!

I bought a pair of these from a local store, fitted by the salesman, and found they were just a little too small after breaking them in, and rubbed in all the wrong places. I gave them to a coworker and ordered a size larger from amazon, for a much better price. I love these shoes, they change how I balance my weight across my feet, give me plenty of support, and my feet never hurt like they used to at the end of my shift.The only problem I have with them is one of my feet tends to swell up larger than the other one, and once it starts the weight of the shoe presses down painfully against the top of my foot. I had bruising and broken veins before I gave up and switched back to a non-slip tennis shoe. I still wear these shoes as casual footwear, as long as I am somewhere where I will be able to sit down at regular intervals. I wish there was a version that was nonslip and slightly lighter, because these would be my only pair of shoes if it weren't for the pressure across the top of my foot!

The media could not be loaded. Arrivate 2 gg prima del previsto e ciò mi ha fatto molto piacere perché le desideravo da tempo.Porto il 39, ho preso 40 come suggerito e sono perfette!Le trovo veramente tanto carine e confortevoli, mi rispecchiano molto. Ho acquistato il mio primo paio in pelle nera spazzolata ma sto già addocchiando altri colori...

J’ai acheté ces sabots afin de porter des chaussures fermées plus adéquates aux tenues d’hiver .Je suis agréablement surprise du confort et de la qualité du cuir .

Queste scarpe le avrei comprate per uscire, invece le sto usando al lavoro perché (dopo una prima scomodità iniziale causata dal plantare ortopedico) sono le prime che non mi fanno sentire 10 ore in piedi!!Il numero ordinato è il solito di sempre ma inizialmente sembrano grandi perché il piede dietro è molto libero... dopo un giorno ci si fa l’abitudine.

Tight fit but perfect once worked in.

Perfect for my needs as an operating room nurse standing for 8 hours on end. Highly recommend these.
