I am SO GLAD I stumbled across the reviews for these Sanita clogs. I had a beloved pair of Dansko Professional clogs I bought over 12 years ago and walked in for miles and miles. I have very narrow feet with long, high arches and typically wear a 7.5-8 and my size 38 Dansko clogs fit well with plenty of room to spare for my toes to spread. (I really consider myself to be a true 8N but because it's difficult to find actual narrow width shoes I almost always end up sizing down to a 7.5 so my feet aren't swimming.) I had heard that Dansko changed their sizing a while back to be larger and wider [*cough* vanity sizing *cough*], so when the soles of my old clogs all but disintegrated I was reluctant to purchase another pair since mine had really fit perfectly.

Anyway, I finally caved recently and bought a pair of size 38 Dansko clogs and, sure enough, they were noticeably wider and longer than my old clogs - by about a half inch in length when I compared them sole to sole. They felt sloppy when I walked and the balls of my feet didn't feel like they were sitting in the right place in the shoe. To be honest, I kind of felt as though I was wearing clown shoes. I suspected that if I managed to track down a pair in 38N they would still be too long, so I tried them in a 37. Unfortunately, my big toes were at the top of the shoe and there wasn't quite enough room around my heel for the "sliding clog action".

Needless to say, I was bummed about my clogless situation until I read a number of reviews on Amazon that Sanita tended to run small and narrow. I also learned that Dansko used to be made by Sanita, which explained a lot. My old clogs were labeled as Dansko inside the shoe and were advertised and sold as Dansko, but the soles were actually stamped with the Sanita logo. I had bought them at a steeply discounted price so I always thought that I received factory seconds but never worried about it since they seemed fine and fit well. From what I read, however, it seems like Sanita has kept the original sizing so I took a chance and ordered a pair. Lo and behold, they fit just like my old pair of Danskos! In my opinion, based on my own feet, the Sanita clogs probably do run a little narrow for average-width feet but I really think the sizing (38 = 7.5-8) is true. I am beyond thrilled to have clogs again and will now only buy Sanita brand. The best part is that they were $35 less than the Dansko clogs I recently purchased and returned!

(As a side note, I will say that if you have high arches like me, you will likely experience some uncomfortable pressure across the top of your foot with the first few wears. I remember this from my old pair of clogs and it did eventually go away as I wore them more.)
