What can I say? These shoes are the bomb. Are they hugely sexy and chic? No. Are they incredibly comfortable and perfect for travel? YES. These are my go-to vacation shoes. I can slip them off at airport security, they have excellent arch support, and I've worn them walking for hours everywhere from Amsterdam to Orlando. No breaking in; no blisters. So much better looking than the dreaded sneakers, and since they have a little heel I can wear my longer jeans with them.

Not the most attractive shoe by any means but they cured my extremely painful plantar fasciitis. If your feet hurt, these are for you. Luckily I was professionally fitted, otherwise I would have gone too small. The heel should be very loose for a proper fit in these shoes. I wear an 8.5-9 in most brands, and in these I wear a 40. My only regret is that I didn't get the oiled style, instead I got the regular black professionals. Less shiny would look better in my opinion.

For those who don't understand how they size, I was told by the live person and you should be able to feel your foot move inside them, and your ankle should slip up and down a bit. I wear a 9 in women and I wear a 40. These fit perfect. I wear them all day to work and school and I find all I want to wear on the weekend is my Danskos!

I bought the Pro years ago, and now they are getting worn out. My bunions have grown, so I tried the Wide. The Wides definitely run longer than the Regulars. Thus, in comparison to my current Danskos, a size down in a Wide is virtually identical in size to a larger Regular, maybe just a wee bit shorter. The Wide is definitely much longer. I can slip in a finger at the heel of my Regulars, but there is room for a big man's thumb at the end of my Wides. The Box finish seems to run smaller than the Cabrio as well. If you seem to be in between two sizes, check out the Wides. I am still trying to decide whether to keep this pair and only wear them with thick socks. I hate to give up on Danskos altogether, as the support takes pressure off my bunions.

This is one amazing shoe! Comfort is unparalleled - I'm a bartender who works easily 13+ hour shifts with little to no breaks and I can say this shoe leaves my feet feeling great at the end of the night. The only problem I have is that because it isn't adjustable (no laces) I have twisted my ankles in the shoe while going down stairs. They do include a warning in the shoe box - they are not meant to be worn for walking/going up and down stairs a ton. I've worn them most every day for near 10 years and the soles are still in amazing shape. The seams on the sides have just started to come undone - my cobbler can fix both for $25. Small price to pay for an amazing shoe! The quality of the shoe is outstanding - as long as that doesn't change Dansko will have my business for a very long time! Highly recommended!

I had a pair of these shoes a few years ago and wore them almost every day when I was teaching. I am retired now but wanted a pair of shoes that I could just slip on and and be comfortable in all day long. I bought these again and am very glad I did. They make my size 10/11 foot appear smaller and look good with jeans and almost everything.

What’s Up with Dansko!!! I own two pair of Danskos in this same style (black and brown) in a size 40. The first pair I ordered (size 40) were waaaaay too big. Then I ordered a size 39 which were very snug, but I wanted to will them to work. Unfortunately I wore them to work and they are VERY uncomfortable, but now they are mine and I am destined to several years of pain. I am disappointed in the lack of standardization on Dansko’s part.

Awesome shoe! I have arthritis in my toes, plantar fasciitis and fallen arches. These shoes were extremely comfortable from the minute I put them on. I usually only wear sneakers with custom orthotics or Birkenstock sandals, but now I have my Danskos! And thank you Zappos, as usual, your service was amazingly fast and efficient.

Excellent shoe! Comfortable out of the box. No need to break them in. I'm a 9M, so I previously ordered a 38, which was too short. The 40 fit much better. Recommend ordering a half size larger.

Overall, I love these shoes. They look great with jeans and brown and black pants. Wish I had gone one size up as the cuff on the top of the shoes bothers me. Also, I can’t wear thick socks with them.

Great shoes. I have very wide feet so I often cannot wear fashionable and beautiful shoes. These Dansko's are great. They make me feel so "hip" and still be comfortable.

I wanted to like them, I really did. Funny enough, my feet never hurt -- but now my back does. I never have had any back problems until I started wearing these. I've been working 12 hour nursing shifts for many years without one back issue/ache -- and our patients need full lift help. The only new thing is these shoes. I have been complimented on my posture often, so don't think there is a big posture difference with these. But for some reason, my mid back kills after wearing them. I had hoped to wear them for work as a nurse, but will most likely just wear them rarely for casual errands. Oh and I wear a ladies 12 -- used the conversion charts and the feedback and went up a size from the recommended. I still had to go up one more size because my toes were pressing on the end of the 43's. In my opinion, a woman's 12 = 44 (not a 42 or 43).

I have been told that these shoes are super comfortable and decided to place an order. I ordered the Size 37 and it came in the next day but sadly, it felt a little loose so exchanged them for the Size 36. They felt amazing but after working in them and standing up for quite some time, my right foot started to bother me. I wore them again after a few days and it started feeling better. Now, the shoes do not bother me at all because they broke in a little and it is super comfortable. Everybody's feet are different so don't be discouraged if they don't feel right at first. Zappos gave me no problem exchanging Sizes either and you have a year to do it!

This is my third pair of Dansko professional, as they are now my permanent shoe for work. My job is professional office but due to a piriformis issue I stand so this shoe is best when being on your feet all day. Three of my co-workers saw how trendy then can be with tights and skirts or suits, I guess I've started a trend, but it's all about comfort, these shoes rock! I suggest going to a store and getting sized first as different styles have different sizing.

I had a different sizing issue with my clogs than most people. I'm regularly a 6.5, but had to go down to the UK size 36 which is a 5.5 -- I tried on the 37 (6.5) but it was just too big to be comfortable, but the 36 (5.5) fit well...maybe my feet are too narrow as well?

I'm a huge Dansko fan - these shoes are amazing for your feet, legs & back. There are so many fun styles too...worth the money! The narrow width works great with a thinner sock.

Best. Shoes. Ever. I'm on my fifth pair. Would that they looked like Jimmy Choo heels. Alas, they're just insanely comfy. Note on fit: They should be loose at the heel.
