Product Information:

  • Video Description View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)
  • You may be more comfortable sizing downward for open-back models (for example, if you are a US size 11, you may want to choose EU size 44).
  • Heel should be either even with or slightly forward of the back of the clog sandal.
  • Toes should not hit the front of the clog.
  • Dansko's traditional open-back style for men with lightly padded instep collar for ultimate comfort.
  • High quality leather upper follows the natural contours of the foot. Box leather is ideal for the workplace environments with wet, acidic or greasy conditions. It has a smooth, clean finish with the natural irregularities removed. It is the easiest leather to maintain, and can be wiped clean with soap and water.
  • Instep collar is generously padded.
  • Roomy Thermoplastic toe box provides durable reinforcement and toe protection while allowing toes to move comfortably.
  • Nonallergenic vegetable tanned leather sockliner wrapped around synthetic foam absorbs and evaporates perspiration.
  • Protective Polyethylene heel counter allows the heel to move up and down when walking. Also provides lateral stability and acts as a natural shoe horn.
  • PVC inner frame provides stability and reduces torque and pronation.
  • Polyurethane outsole provides shock absorption and flexibility, withstands surfaces of extreme heat and cold, and protects feet, legs and back during long hours of standing or walking.
  • Rocker bottom propels the foot forward when walking.
  • Dansko Stapled clog outsoles are designed to be suitably slip resistant in workplace environments where excesses of vegetable oils and animal fats are present. Slip resistant tests have been carried out by SATRA, the world's leading research and technology organization for the footwear industry.
  • Dansko's Stapled Clog Collection proudly carries the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.

    My girlfriend bought me a pair of Olaf clogs back in the late '70s while I was in college and I wore them down to the wood bottoms. I remember how comfortable they were and how great they looked with a pair of jeans, so I decided to order a pair of Karl's in antique brown. While they do run small, I normally wear a 10W and the size 44 fit perfectly. It didn't take long to break them in. They are easy to slip on when I need to walk the dog, work around the house or run errands. I have gotten some nice comments from women at the local grocery store and notice that many of them wear Danskos when they go shopping. While some guys might by bothered by the stigma of wearing clogs, I could really care less as long as my feet are comfortable!

    from New Orleans, LA

    This is one of two pairs of shoes that I alternate for work at a medical facility. I've worn clog-style shoes many times in the past, so I knew I could wear these for my job where I'm on my feet all day. They are comfortable. It may take a little getting used to since the heel is high, but once you've become accustomed to it, they feel great. The shoe is a little tight (it runs smaller than the stated size). I wear size 9 shoes, so based on the recommended sizing chart on the website, I ordered a size 42. It was short and tight. I sent it back and I received the size 43 shoes much more quickly than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The size 43 shoes are perfect. The construction appears sound, but they are less than a month old, so I'll know more as I continue to wear them.

    These are hard-to-find shoes, at least in the US. For a clog, these are the best in the world. Zappos did a great job of providing a huge selection and of notifying me when this model was available. Superb service!

    I love Zappos and have bought 5 pairs of shoes from them over the last several years. I really didn't think buying shoes "online" could be a viable alternative but with their super customer service, free shipping and return, it was easy. They have a great selection that would require you to search many "brick & mortar" stores to find. On my last order they comped me for express next day delivery free. Did I mention that their customer service is the bomb?! I am a total fan of this company and wish more online stores would follow their model. Thanks Zappos.

    I had Achilles tendon surgery and needed a comfortable shoe with a bit of an elevated heel and no pressure on the rear of my foot... these hit the mark perfectly for me. Very comfortable, well made, good looking, couldn't be better.

    After more than forty years on this planet, I say wholeheartedly that Dansko clogs are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had--period. That is after years of long distance running, lots of hiking, work on an electronics factory floor, and most recently shlubbing around in an office. I wish I had these clogs at the start of my journey. Both the Karl and the Professional are good. I prefer the Karl, but I keep a pair of the professionals to slip into at the office for the greater formality of having something more than socks cover the heels. The black-oiled Karls are the casual clogs for the weekend--well worth it, as all Danskos are. Good with a casual pair of jeans, but they are harder to clean than box, cabrio, or bullhide.

    Yes, they really do run small. Get a size bigger than you think you need, based on the conversion chart - and, I'm doing this review thing because they were really nice when I had to exchange them.

    I bought these to wear with dresses and skirts as I had foot surgery a few years ago and cannot wear regular shoes. I already have the Professional in black & brown and had been switching off with those. These are very comfy and look great with skirts and dresses. Now I just need them in brown!

    Really liked the shoe. Beautiful quality and nice leather. Would have liked to wear them but the advertised size 47 is more like a US size 12 than a 13.5-14. I have size 13 feet and have never had a problem with previous Zappos orders in size 13 and these shoes simply were way too small.
