I read a thousand reviews on both Danskos and Sanitas. I wore my Danskos for atleast 10 years and just needed something fresh. I got my moneys worth. When I looked at the price tag though I bought choked!! That is what led me to trying these Sanitas.  Just order a couple of pair to try on at home and wear around the house. There is no risk for you can send them back!  (And I hate that all these people affected the star reviewing to be average).

Yes, Sanitas do run smaller then Danskos and ALL MY OTHER SHOES as well. I had been wearing a size up in Danskos already. The idea of a clog is loose fitting yet stays on your feet. The toe box is very roomy and if you fit yourself right, so is the heel. Your heel should lift up when you are on the ball of your foot. So with a loose fit, something has to hold on the shoesthats where the instep collar comes in! It has to fit a little snug across the top of your foot (but not to snug) or your shoes won't stay on your foot!  Of all the reviews I read, that was the most common complaint on these Sanitas.  It made me so nervous to buy but I am glad I took a chance because these people didn't understand how to size and fit themselves and gave up way too easy!! Too badtheir loss!! They needed to size up significantly! These shoes are adjustable by just stretching or pinching where there is need.  A tiny bit of effort has a big pay off.  I wear a womens size 7.5-8 in my normal shoes.  According to Sanitas chart, I should fit in a 38. NOPE! (Grateful for all the reviews so i figured out my Sanita try on the first try).  I wear a Dansko in a 39.  Sanitas run smaller then Danskos and plus all the reviews saying these are so snug and cause pain to the top of the foot... I went with a 40. Now my foot is no way a 9 - 9.5! Never! But in these Sanitas that is how the sizing chart translates over and that is what fit my foot. TWO SIZES UP.  So if these hurt your feet, you just ordered a size to small.  What a shame to all the reviews who sent their shoes back!  Because, these are absolutely a beautiful, high quality shoe! No need to go back to Danskos for almost twice the cost.  Thank you Sanita! Im thinking about more colors!
