- 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.

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.

I really love the look of these shoes. Had someone ask me the first day I wore them where I got them from...told them Zappos. Explained the win-win type of deal at Zappos, where you don\'t pay postage even on returns. How can you go wrong?

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!

Before I write the review, I thought it would be helpful for you to have some background so that you could understand the context of my critique. I have a very narrow foot. I am probably actually a 9AAA or 9AAAA, but since it is impossible to find stylish shoes in that size at a reasonable price I can make do with some 8M if it runs slim and has a high-cut vamp (such as a boot) or 8N if it runs long. I also have worn 8 1/2 N. I ordered this shoe in a 39 Narrow, same size as other open-backed clogs that I own (not Dansko brand). I'm sending the shoe back because I find it a bit short in one shoe and overall much too wide. Even with a thick sock my feet are slipping all over the place. (So the shoe is short front-to-back and wide side-to-side.) I have ordered a 40 Narrow as a Hail Mary in hopes that I can make the fluke-y fit work for me. I'm guessing that I'll have to send that back too, but hope springs eternal! It seems like this shoe fits best on a foot that is sort of flat and wide at the forefoot. I would guess that a person who has a slightly slimmer than B (medium) width foot with a low arch would fit well in this shoe. The Cordovan is a beautiful color and I can believe that it wouldn't stain easily. The shoe is heavier (both in weight and appearance) than a traditional clog with a wood base. Also, if you have slender legs, don't plan on wearing these with a skirt or dress, unless you like looking like Olive Oyl or Frankenstein.

Excellent shoes for standing up hours on end, add some height, good arch support for high arches. Last a very long time. This is my second pair after the first lasted for 5+ years of heavy use. Excellent service with Zappos as always.

My first pair of Dansko clogs lasted me 4 years--\r\nand I wore them practically every day. I walked all day long all over New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Europe in these shoes. They were the only shoes I wanted to wear all through my pregnancy, including in the last months when my feet were swollen and uncomfortable. I think they helped my back and improved body mechanics too. I\'m on my second pair now and I\'ve never found a more comfortable, versatile shoe.

My daughter-in-law is a physical therapist and has a pair, they looked comfortable so I asked her about her shoes. In fact these shoes are recommended at the place she works. I am on my feet all day, andoften come home with achy feet, so I decided to give them a try, I have never spent that much on a pair of shoes in my life! But because they are the best they were absolutley worth every dollar I spent!

I am a medical student and am on my feet for very long periods of time. So, I needed a comfortable shoe, as well as one that looked professional and could be worn with dress clothes or scrubs. I saw that an overwhelming amount of hospital employees wear this brand of shoe. It took some getting used to, but I definitely love these shoes. I can be on my feet for 16 hours and they won't hurt. Due to the design of the shoe, there is a lot of room for the foot to move around. This causes the wearer to trip, stumble, and nearly roll their ankle when they are not used to the shoes (everybody who wears these shoes knows exactly what I am talking about). They are also a bit heavy, so combine that with the loose fit, and running up and down stairs is a bit of a chore. If they get dirty, they are easy to clean. One thing that I don't particularly care for is that I have 6 pairs, in different colors and styles, and they all stain my socks. They are not the most fashionable, but they can certainly be worn with anything and look decent. These shoes seem to lack good ventilation, so may not be the best option for people with even moderately sweaty feet. Overall, I am very pleased with this brand. After all, I own 6 pairs. This style is a nice simple choice.

These are very comfortable shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and Morton's neuroma and I can wear these without an orthotic and walk all day. They are not quite as narrow as some Dansko Professionals that I bought a couple of years ago. If you find that your feet slide around in regular width Danskos, these are a godsend.

I purchased these in a size 8 and should possibly have ordered them a half size larger. They are tight across the top part of my foot. I am trying to wear different weight socks to help stretch that area some. But the support is amazing. You can actually feel how supportive they are on your arches. I can't begin to say how happy my shopping experiences have been with Zappos. I have used many online retailers and no one comes close to Zappos for service, shipping and customer care! Thanks Zappos, you are the best out there!

Just what I needed! I work 10 hours shifts of nothing but standing and walking. I used to wear tennis shoes but I noticed pain in my feet, knees, back, and shoulders. After buying these, all of the pain went away! They are incredibly comfortable and go with all of my scrubs! They are a little tight the first few days, but nothing worth complaining about! Love these shoes!

Dansko shoes are very comfortable, especially if you are on your feet during the day. And I think if you have lower back issues, the shoes provide some good suppport.

These clogs have lived up to their reputation. I bought them when my plantar fasciitis (which causes foot pain) came back. After wearing the clogs for a week, it was gone. They take a day or so to get used to, because they are worn loose, but I love them. They are not cheap, but they are well worth the investment. I wear them almost every day. You have to be careful when walking up stairs, on rocky paths, etc., but otherwise great for everyday use. I bought them from Zappos because I wanted a pristine pair that had never been tried on and I wanted the option of returning them if they didn’t fit right. I am 100% satisfied!

I wore Danskos in medical school and throughout residency and found them to be the most comfortable shoes I have owned that also provide excellent arch support. While other shoes (e.g. Clarks) are extremely comfortable, I found the lack of arch support a real problem as I am on my feet all day. My main disappointment with this pair is that the left shoe was extremely tight on the top of my foot for about a week until it stretched a bit. I've never had that problem before. They're not the most stylish shoe, but if you favor comfort and support, this shoe is hard to beat.
