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.

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.

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!

Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
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!

I purchased a pair of these shoes several years ago. Had them so long the rubber/plastic soles actually broke away from the metal underneath. They were so very comfortable, so decided to give it another go. Ordered a pair from Zappos; they had them to me in no time at all. It is fantastic. I put them on and thought they were the old shoes, so very comfortable. I even wore them to work the first day, it's a stand up job, lots of walking etc, and feet were so unbelievably happy all day long. Thank you Dansko for making the most wonderful shoes!

I am a chef and have worn several different types of clogs. These shoes are excellent, offering wonderful support for me feet, knees and back. Anyone that spends a lot of time on thier feet will benefit from wearing these.

I have many pairs of Dansko shoes. While they might not be the greatest looking shoe, I encourage anyone to try them out. They're great shoes, and the fact that I can walk or stand in them all day makes up for the "not super cute" factor. Also, they give a little height which is nice. Only negative about this particular shoe, in my opinion: not brown enough. It appears almost black in color.

A) Size seemed to be a bit small, and I ended up returning them for the next size up. That having been said, these are really great shoes, beautifully made and all-day comfortable. I'll be buying another pair of the same or similar very soon. B) There is no better website to buy anything from than Zappos. I wish they sold some of the other stuff I buy on the net. Great people, phenomenal service. It's clear that their most important objective is to please their customer.

Love these shoes. My feel were a little sore the first day, but I wore them for eight hours straight. The second time I wore them, felt great all day. Good arch support. Will be buying a second pair in a different color.

Reviewer: from Colorado
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (4 Stars)
I love these shoes - they are incredibly comfortable shoes for standing on your feet all day. My legs never feel tired or achy like they do with other types of shoes. If you walk a lot, these shoes are a little clunky and take some getting used to since they are so stiff in the sole. They are perfect for a long day standing or for a weekend casual shoe - they look cute with jeans. I tried Danskos a few years ago, but didn\'t like them because I seemed to fall off them a lot (my ankles twisted off the side of the shoe). Since then Dansko has changed the design and now the heel base is wider, which seems to have fixed the problem.\r\nMy Zappos experience was great, so fast and easy, and the shoes arrived ahead of schedule!

Danskos are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I wear them nearly every day in a variety of styles and colors. They last forever so I just add to the collection.
