Dansko Women's Sammy Heeled Mule - Comfortable Arch Support Shoes for Work, Office & Casual Wear

I ordered these among other Dansko shoes to try to find a supportive shoe to wear around the house. I've had problems with toe pain, which a podiatrist diagnosed as a metatarsal problem. She told me to buy shoes with a harder sole, like Dankso, and I've found that the Dansko Ingrid shoe works perfectly. I purchased the Ingrid in both colors, Antique Brown and Black Oiled, but I wear these outside so needed a third to keep for inside only. Since Ingrid only comes in two colors, I branched out and ordered the Dansko Sammy, Berry, and Giana. The latter two were too soft and I felt toe pain. The Sammy is also softer than the Ingrid but the heel height raises my heel above the ball of my foot, which then puts pressure underneath the metatarsals that in turn eliminates toe pain.I ordered the taupe color because I think it's an ugly color and therefore would deter me from wearing my shoes out and about. They are so comfortable, however, and I've gotten used to the color (they look like they could be elf shoes), that I've been tempted to wear them out. I've kept them for indoors, though, and while I'm not always in the mood to be wearing a heel, especially going up and down the stairs several times during the day, I won't order a duplicate Ingrid so Sammy is the next best supportive thing. Too bad for me that Dansko doesn't make more options in the harder soled shoe, especially a slightly lower one.These are literally the most comfortable clogs I have ever worn!
