Product Information:
- Your heel should lift up and down with every step, so if you are a half-size you may be more comfortable sizing up (for example, if you are a US 7.5, you may be more comfortable in an EU size 38).
- Dansko's flagship classic for all-day comfort, support and unmistakable style.
- High quality leather upper follows the natural contours of the foot. Also called "brush-off leather," Cabrio offers a dressier look.
- 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.

Cute, but not even close to my size -
I take a 9.5 W, so I ordered this in the 40 Wide (9.5-10). The shoe came quickly, as usual (thanks Zappos!) and the color (Hickory) was perfect. The shoes were cute, if a bit nurse-y, but I knew that going in. The size, however, was absolutely wrong! It felt much more like an 8.5. I couldn't even squeeze my foot into the shoe. I'm really disappointed, as I was looking forward to these and they do not have them available in stock in a larger size.

These shoes are well made and the design is very comfortable. I no longer have foot pain on my first few steps out of bed in the morning. The only trouble I have is that my feet have high arches and presses against the top of the shoe which is not pleasant. I hope the break-in period will be quick. These size and width are true to the label. If you need wide then get a wide.

Overall, I love these shoes, I like the style, the fit, all of that. I purchased them in the Grey color though and have been very disappointed with the quality of the dye, or polish, or whatever it is. I noticed the toe started doing what I thought was scuffing about a week into having them. Since I love them, and spent quite a bit on them, it was driving me nuts! My boyfriend who wears boots for work all day and is used to polishing his shoes looked into it and found me some grey shoe polish to take care of it because he knew it was driving me nuts. In his attempts to get rid of the scuffs, we realized that even to take a cotton ball soaked in water against them, the grey color completely comes off, showing a light silvery grey underneath, making them look awful! The grey wasn't enough to cover it, so we used some black and were able to cover it up pretty well, without making them look totally black (we faded it in pretty well). I am just very disappointed that something I spent so much money on got pretty much ruined so quickly. I don't feel they should have scuffed like that, never mind the color rubbing off so easy! I would buy these shoes again, but would likely go with one of more suede-like materials, in black, so scuffs wouldn't show as much, and if they did, I am guessing they would be easier to cover!

I have a lot of issues with my feet and pain. Anything I wore to work would end up leaving me in pain at the end of my shift. I bought these because everyone who works in the OR wears them and I also see a lot of the nurses I work with wearing them, too. The first 3 days wearing these I hated them wondering why everyone raved about them. I guess that was the break in period because I kept wearing them and now I love them. Again, I have issues with pain in my feet but I was determined to get past breaking them in and was well worth it! I recommend these very much. I find them very much more comfortable than any of the other shoes I have tried in the past; even tried wearing my running sneakers to work but they ended up hurting as well.

Very comfortable clogs! A little shiny for my tastes, should have gotten the oiled ones but still love them and glad for the purchase.

Very functional shoes that can dress up or down, not hugely stylish. Very good foot support. They are listed as being 8.5 to 9 US sizes and I would say they are much closer to 8.5 than 9. They do stretch a bit after wearing them for about an hour.
I purchased a pair of black Danskos last fall after having arch support issues from the cement floors I walk on every day. Flat shoes just were not going to work even though they were fashionable for the season. I loved my Danskos and they became my "go to shoes" for the winter months. Then this fall I decided to expand my collection with a new color of Danskos. I wear them with everything and my feet appreciate the support.

I\'m so happy with these shoes. I wear them to work almost every day. Like the other Danskos I\'ve purchased, they are incredibly comfortable. I was wearing very thin socks when I first tried them on, but it just took me a moment to get used to the way Danskos fit. They\'re pretty cute, too. I usually wear them with work slacks, but they also look great with a skirt and black tights in winter.
This style in Dansko is always comfortable, supportive and fits my wide feet. That\'s why I have 4 pair (different colors) currently. If my day involves a lot of walking, I\'ll use this shoe over all others. Can\'t go wrong with this shoe.

I really like these shoes but I have a narrow foot. It took trying 3 different pairs of 41 narrows before finding one that fit! Each pair is handmade, so Dansko told me to keep trying different pairs until I got one that would work. Don\'t give up on the first pair if it does not seem to be a true narrow. I love the shoes and they keep my feet comfortable while working on the plane all day!! Being that NO STORE carries narrows (they all must be special ordered)...Zappos wonderful and FAST return policy/shipping enabled me to find a pair that fit. Thank you ZAPPOS!!!

I love these shoes! I currently work in retail and I will be on my feet all day running around and my feet don't ache all night when I get home or the next day, and they feel great when I put them on the next day. This shoe has so much comfort and support I would highly recommend them to anyone who is on their feet all day, or even part of the day, and they are really cute and can be worn with pants or shorts. My mom also wore them during her nursing career. I also ride horses and they are very popular in the horse world where you can also be on your feet a lot. I know many people who wear these shoes and love them, and they last a long time so you don't have to replace them (since they are expensive, but worth every penny, and this is the only site that doesn't charge shipping and lets you return for a different size if needed for free as well). I normally wear a 6-6.5 shoe and I was told these run a little big so I got a 36 normal and they fit perfect (I have a slightly wider than normal foot, but not considered wide and the regular 36 fits just right). I love these shoes.

Great shoes, great comfort, great with jeans! Will get another pair when these wear out. I wouldn't say they are the cutest and most stylish. However, comfort for long days is a must.

These are my fall/winter stand-by shoes. Because of their thick sole, these do great in rain and puddles and also keep my feet up off the ground in winter which keeps them warmer. Also, they feel great.

These shoes were recommended to me by both my Pilates instructor and my dental hygienist as a possible solution to the pain and discomfort of the neuroma I've suffered with for more than a year. The shoes are thoroughly comfortable, it's a pleasure just to stand in them, and there's no need to wear my orthotics with them. Although I was initially reluctant to wear a clog-like shoe with business attire, these shoes are such high-quality leather that they can be worn even with a business suit. I highly recommend them for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.

Don't buy. This is the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever worn. I am a teacher, on my feet all day. My feet ache at the end of the day. I have just wasted this money. Buyer beware!

These shoes were recommended to me by a person who works in a busy emergency room. I bought the shoes and I have been very satisfied with how comfortable they are and how they look. I\'m on my feet for 10 or 12 hours a day. At the end of the day my feet are not sore or tired.

Comfort, if this is what you are after this shoe fits the bill. I work in the film industry and work very long days a lot of the time. I love wearing Danskos. They give pretty good arch support. They are loose on my foot so they aren't rubbing anywhere. I like wearing them with bare feet the best, although socks are fine as well. They look kind of cute with knee socks and a skirt. I've worn these for 15 years or so and always come back to them when I really want a comfortable shoe. They aren't the sexiest shoe, but they do make me taller. You have to go up a full size in these or they won't fit. I forgot and had to exchange the first pair I bought. You want them to move on your foot. They stay on because of the design and the back so they don't slip off like clogs sometimes do, but you want them to move a bit while you walk, too. Little things: they do scuff easily especially the matte finish ones and you can see the staples on them. I still obviously think they are worth it, though.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: I like Simple shoes as well. I bought the sneaker that is recycled in green its very cute and very comfortable.

This is my first pair of Dansko shoes. I am a RN and am on my feet for 12 hour shifts. My feet and back feel much better since wearing them. I had no "adjustment" time at all, which most of my coworkers say is normal. I love them!
