A convert - Dansko clogs are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, period! They are very versatile for work and everyday activity. I was initally turned off to clogs by my college roommate, who wore the old wooden, clunky looking clogs. But my wife (A life long clog wearer) begged me to try a pair of Danskos. I was totally hooked and have worn nothing else since. I have a fairly wide foot, but these clogs fit like a glove. I've gotten two years of continuous wear out of mine. I'm purchasing a second pair and having my original pair resoled.

Unlike any other! Although I thought they were too "feminine" looking at first, just put your feet in them and you won't care. Seems like all other shoes I own now (other brands) are ill fitting, these Danskos rock! Great quality, very roomy and very comfortable. Now you know why the Doc's and nurses wear em!

THE BEST SHOES EVER!!! I am a manager at a grocery store, and I am on my feet all day. I went to my local shoe store, and I was very turned off by the look. I asked the attendant at the store what a good shoe would be for being on your feet all day, she immediately turned to Dansko. I told her that these couldn't possibly be men's shoes but she said that they indeed were, and that I should at least try them on. I had jeans on and they looked perfectly normal if you couldn't see the back. I walked around the store for about three minutes and I knew I had to have them. They were the most comfortable shoe I had ever put on my feet. Now I wear these every day and I can't wait to put them on every morning. I wear them with all pants and even with shorts. It looks bad but I don't even care because they are the most comforatble shoes I have ever worn. I get nasty comments all the time at the store from customers and fellow employees, but I still wear them. Try them and you will feel the same way I do. Men, try them! Just tell people to shove it if they give you problems about your shoes. They are fine. Comfort can not be comprimised for look.

What a relief for pained feet - I am a woman who wears a woman's US 12. A 42 is too small if you follow the woman's conversion chart. A 44 is perfect. Oh, boy. I have plantar faciitis and bursitis in the heel and these have been the best shoes so far (I've tried athletic, birks, tevas and clogz lights). Really, this is the best shoe for the money. I'm in the hospital and need to run to codes and they work. They also work at home with two small children. I wore them on the ice and snow, feet stayed warm and the tread was good. I just hope they extend there size and styles for woman with larger feet! Guys, these are the best and no one will laugh at the hospital or artsy scene. Go for it!

The professional clog is (with the exception of Birkenstock) the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I have to search for office wear and what I found was the Dansko clog, which has been the ultimate in winter footwear comfort. Style is not the thing with these shoes, but if you're going to be active and on your feet, there's nothing to eclipse the wearability of these. They are tight out of the box, but well worth working through; wear a thin sock until broken in, then get into a winter thickness sock.

My husband and I absolutely love these clogs! We can't wear anything else, even on weekends. We both work in a hospital and are on our feet all day. My husband has really bad calluses that hurt terribly, but in these clogs he is pain free!

Next to my old slouchie Birkenstocks, these are the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I'm on my feet for 12-hour shifts on hard hospital floors, and this shoe is great. I have an EE-width foot with a very high arch, and was a little worried about the fit. The next size up would have been too long, so for $5 my local shoe repair shop stretched the instep arch a bit. Now I have a custom fit and happy feet!

I must say, I am truly enjoying my pair of Dansko Professionals. I was a little concerned at first about sizing up one size when ordering, but my fears were quickly allayed when first putting my new clogs on. They look terrific and feel absolutely marvelous. It took a day or two for a little give in the leather in the toe box to set in, but once that occurred, I find I am wearing my clogs almost exclusively, at home, to the office, church, etc. I must admit, I have problem feet: a heel spur on my right heel, and have worn orhtotics for years. But, suddenly, I find no need to wear my orthotics! Free, at last, so to speak...

Linda, RN - I simply LOVE this clog. I didn't orginally purchase it for professional use because I wasn't sure how it would hold up so I wear it casually and I simply LOVED them so much that I am buying another pair for professional use.

Not Overwhelmed as I'd hoped - Okay, People rave about this shoe. half the people in medicine wear these shoes. I've had mine for 5 days and I'm not overwhelmed. I'm hoping they will still break in to be much more comfortable- and they aren't bad, but I was really hoping these would be something incredible as I'm on my feet all day long (sometimes for more then 24 hours while on call). I like them, they look great, and feel okay for normal use, but they don't seem to be better then good tennis shoes yet for on-your-feet-all-day comfort. Still hoping they will break in more.

I am a student at NECI in downtown Montpelier Vt. I have worked in them for what feels like decades and have had great luck with these clogs. The stress on my lower back and knees is greatly reduced when I wear these Dansko shoes.

Dansko Pro Review - The shoes are just what I expected. Your service was exceptional (next day air...wow!). Because of your shipment, I was able to wear these for a long day of cooking (7 hours without sitting)and was pleased with the result. As I wear these Dansko's more, they conform even better to my feet and are now VERY confortable. The stability of the shoe underfoot and the arch support are my favorite features. In a short period of time, they have become my shoe of choice for most occasions.

Comfort is better than beauty - The only reason I bought these shoes is my school required white leather shoes for clincial classes. Now, I don't want to take them off. They are as comfortable at the end of a long day as at the begining. They are so roomy, other shoes feel tight . They are easy to slip on and off so they have replaced my slippers for those quick trips to get the morning paper.

Not a virgin any longer - Seeing as how I have incredably large feet for a woman, tried ordering Dansko's for the frist time. I really like the look. All of my friends rant and rave about the shoes as well. I love the shoes, although they are small on me. I don't want to return them, so I'm having them stretched. I will order again, however, I'll go for the larger size.

OK to start but has its problems - I've had this shoe for a year and have found that it: 1: the leather insole wears into the molded plastic sole so that you can feel the holes from the molding process through the insole (this happened 4 months in). 2: the leather on the toe wears off. 3. Shoe cannot withstand a 12 hour shift (its too darned hard) 4. But really, the arch supports, is great. 5. A 44 corresponds to a woman's size 12 not what they say...Seriously folks. I have a skinny (read narrow) foot and high arch. 44 euro both in birks and dansko is a woman's 12 - Can someone *please* standardize shoe sizes!!!! Thanks.

Better than Birki's - I am a Chef in Minneapolis, Mn. I work plenty more than full time at my job. I am on my feet for greater than 55 hours a week. I first bought a pair of Birkinstock Professional Clogs. I liked them at first but they quickly deteriorated. And the smell coming from them, because they are rubber, was quite feirce. I decided to spend a bit more and go for the Dansko Professional clog. I loved them the first day I wore them. Although after spending many, many days, seven months infact, of being on my feet for 15 hours at a time they did have a downfall. The rubber on the sole cracked where the ball of my foot was bending. I was very dissapointed. I called up Dansko and Zappo, they were both MORE than happy and willing to replace them for FREE. The best part is that I did not have to send the old ones back. I can still use the old ones for a few more months untill they completely fall apart. It is a nice feeling to know that I can be guaranteed a good product or a new product. I recommend these shoes to all of my employees and fellow chefs in my profession.

Hopkins Highlights - Several years ago, I learned about the Dansko product and since then have worn the Dansko Professional -- almost exclusively. Being on my feet, constantly moving and putting in long amounts of time on my feet -- there is no other choice for me. I'm provided with comfort, support and healthy feet and back, too. This combination makes me a happy boy.
