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 size 10, you may be more comfortable in an EU size 44).
  • Heel should move up and down freely.
  • Fit may be snug when stepping into the clog.
  • Dansko's flagship classic for all-day comfort, support and unmistakable style.
  • 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.
  • 2" heel.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I am on my feet all day long and my feet never hurt after wearing these shoes. All of my co-workers wear them, too. I highly recommend them!

Comfortable and well-made. I just got an email from Zappos reminding me that I'd bought these shoes a year ago and that they were still in stock if I needed to replace them. No need: I wear them constantly and they're still in perfect shape. These are the most comfortable shoes I have for my plantar fasciitis, much more comfortable than sneakers. (Although maybe I need better sneakers!) The only problem with them is that it is possible for your foot to slide side-to-side in them, and I know someone who injured her ankle because of that. I wish there were more colors in narrow, but the oiled black is nice and subtle. Overall, I love them.

Overall, I give these shoes an 8/10. I have a friend that swears by them and has several pairs. However, I find the hard surface of the sole a little uncomfortable, although I am planning on trying some different socks with them. They also seem better suited for standing and walking short distances (I can see why they are so popular with teachers and nurses), but I notice that I\'m wearing them when I walk the 5-7 minute walk to our other building at work. I\'d like shoes so comfortable, I don\'t notice them.

I bought two pairs of Dansko Clogs, and found the instep too low. My toes lost blood flow! I took them to a cobbler who tried to stretch them unsuccessfully. I haven't run into this problem ever before. I still believe they are high quality clogs, but if they feel tight across the instep, they aren't going to "break in"!

This was my first pair of Dansko clogs. I teach kindergarten and first grade, so am on my feet most of the day. The clogs are very comfortable and run true to size. The oil-rubbed finish is nice and soft, and the color goes with everything. The clogs arrived in record time, too, which was terrific! I plan to buy another pair soon.

This is a great shoe! Looks good, feels good, and is comfortable all day. I walk around a lot during the day and cannot afford to have sore feet. The fit was very good for me. It is also a good shoe for northern winters.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: I also have a pair of Ariat clogs that are quite comparable to these.

I stand on my feet all day, on concrete floors. I am an art teacher at a public school. Dansko professional clogs were my life savers! These are my third pair of Dansko clogs. I have to admit the open back ones are more comfortable than these, but I can still stand all day without pain or fatigue in my legs. My arches were a bit sore the first time I wore them, but this no longer happens. Maybe it was a adjusting my feet. I highly recommend these to anyone who is on their feet all day.

I love my Dansko oiled clogs! I had a pair for over 20 years, and finally got a new pair from Zappos. I tried to buy them locally, but all the stores that carried them were sold out. So I went on-line and entered "Dansko" and Zappos came up right away. They were less than the stores were selling them for, and no shipping fees. A year ago I had total knee replacements done on both my knees, and the clogs really provide me with the support I need for my "new" knees. They are so comfortable and really helped me walk with my extensive rehab after the surgery. I was thrilled that Zappos provided me what I needed in such a quick fashion!
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: I can only comment on the Dansko clogs, as I haven\'t worn any other brands.

I love my Danskos! The professional style is my favorite and my "go-to" choice every time. If I wear some other little shoe during the day, I'm looking for my Danskos to get me back to having happy feet at the end of the day. Really don't know what I'd do without them! They seem to keep all your body parts where they're supposed to be, so it's about a whole-body experience.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Nothing compares to the comfort and support of Dansko Professional.

Second pair of Dansko I bought. Great shoe, better service. I had a problem with size; called Zappos. They emailed a return slip (free) and a new pair of Dansko next day again (free). Service, service, service. Thank you.

Great shoe! I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 shoe, so the size 40 worked perfectly for me. You don't have to break them in. I wore them the next day for a 12 hour shift at the hospital and my feet were comfortable all day! Much better than tennis shoes!

Great shoes. Comfy beyond words. Before you order, check the size. I ordered what I thought was my correct size but they were too big. Exchange was not a problem. Service was amazing.

I recently discovered that I packed my daughter\'s Dansko clogs for my business trip and was able to use Zappos to order/deliver overnight a new pair that fit! This isn\'t the first shoe emergency I\'ve had, but it\'s good to know that they really deliver the service! Oh yeah, the shoes are great - they are Danskos!

Danskos are the only shoe that provide support/comfort/style for my arthritic toes. And style is difficult to come by in the therapeutic shoe world! I like this 'professional oiled' style because I can wear with black or brown attire, functional yet cute. Would highly recommend any Dansko shoe!

Great for long nurse shifts. I like the look (& the fact that my employer does not require an all white shoe). They are professional-looking & stay sturdy throughout the whole shift, unlike sneakers, which seem to "give" a few hours into the shift. I definitely recommend getting a size just slightly larger than what fits you snugly.

Oh my gosh! These are the most comfy shoes ever! With Zappos super quick service, I received these overnight, and have worn them 2 days in a row without a single bit of discomfort! They are the best! I got the brown, but am going to request that my husband get me the black ones for Christmas. I read where some people thought that they were not cute, but I really like them, and think they are really cute with jeans, khakis, etc. I wear an 8-1/2 or 9 and ordered a size 39. They fit perfectly.

I ordered these Danskos in hopes that they were really the narrow sizing as described, and they are! I am very narrow so I have room to wear with a medium thick sock. They are true to size and very comfortable. Very pleased with my purchase.

These are great shoes, very comfy. Good quality. A little bit fuddy-duddish, but as you get older it's more about the comfort than the look. I would highly recommend.

These are far and away the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I am generally 7.5-8 womens, so the 38 fit perfectly with a little room for the heel to come up, like they're supposed to. Love these shoes, I'm getting more!
