Broke in during a 10 hour shift
I absolutely love these! I broke them in at work and had absolutely no pain or blisters. I love the leather and it looks better with some wear and tear. My only two complaints:
I wish the strap was just a bit longer, it seems to end a bit short- and I have narrow skinny feet so I can't imagine anyone with wider feet having an easy time in these.
The faux wood looks very fake. All of my other dansko clogs can pass as wood from a distance, these are very obvious because there's no texture. I still love them and wear them in my regular Dansko rotation.
I guess I have 3 complaints: I wish they had staples instead of stitching. I hope they will last a long time.
On Sam Black Soft Full Grain
The Sam is a rocker sole design much like our clogs. The added back strap does assist with stabilizing the foot. The Sam will provide the freedom of an open back with the added support of a full upper.
