Product Information:
  • Video Description View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)
  • 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. 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.

So far so good. The fit is great, I have wide feet and bunions and the wide fits just right. I also am recovering from a back (disc) issue and sciatica, and was able to be on my feet in them the other day for several hours without any pain. With some other clogs I've owned, my ankle can sometimes turn out (may just be me and my weak ankles), but so far that has not happened with these. The only negative is that one of the seams inside is rough in one shoe and it cuts into my foot when I don't wear socks (it's fine with socks), but I'm going to try to take them to the shoemaker to see if anything can be done to soften the seam. Otherwise a good shoe overall. I usually do errands & shopping in mule sneakers which are very comfortable, but not so attractive so I wanted to get something a little more attractive as another option. These aren't quite as fashionable as I thought they'd be but are still much more so than the sneakers, so that's why I give them a 4 instead of 5.

I needed to try several sizes before finding the right size. I think they run quite small, so I was glad with my big feet these extend right into men\'s sizes. I like the look of them. I know physical therapists who wear them and they are the right height when you have one foot in a boot cast.

I wore these shoes for the first time for a 12 hour shift. I brought along an extra pair of shoes incase these started to hurt. I wore them for the entire 12 hours without pain. This is my second pair of Dansko clogs. I love they way they look and feel. The fit is slightly narrow, I have a wide foot, usually a size 8.5 - 9 I ordered the 9 and the fit is perfect.

I had 2 fractured toes and was told to wear nothing but tennis shoes. A friend of mine had foot surgery and she found the Dansko Professional Clogs. I ordered a pair and that is all I now wear. They are the most supportive and comfortable shoe I have ever worn and I was told by my doctor that they are much better than expensive tennis shoes. I will be ordering more of these shoes in the next week.

Extremely comfortable, great arch support, roomy toes. Took a little getting used to: snug in the vamp/tongue, loose at the heel. I bought them for work since I'm on my feet a lot and I love these shoes so much that I also travel in them. Fine for walking around too, wouldn't run the mile in them.

I recently bought a pair of black leather Dansko. I had tried them on in several shoe stores and decided to look at Zappos. They had the pair and size I wanted for less. For an expensive shoe, that was helpful. The shoes were a breeze to order, came quickly and fit perfectly. I knew that I could return them with no hassle and no cost if they hadn't fit. I will definitely buy again from Zappos. Great service and selection!

Fast delivery as promised, next day, in fact. One of the only places I found Dansko wide width. Great shoes! I'll use Zappos again.

I love this shoe! I have an arthritic big toe, and my doctor recommended a shoe with good support and a firm bottom. These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn in years. I have a wide foot, and the wide width works for me.

What a pain in the... Unfortunately, the arch in this shoe was way to much for me. I can barely look at them now, let alone wear them. At first I thought I just needed to break them in; they never changed. My feet and back suffer much too much to ever buy another pair.

I absolutely love my Danskos! They are delightfully comfortable, and they look both fashionable and professional. After I placed my order I received them within 2 days! I wear an 8 and 1/2 comfortably so I ordered a size 39 (which is US Women's size 8.5-9). I am extremely happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend them to others!

Reviewer: from Olympia
Overall: (1 Stars) Comfort: (1 Stars) Style: (3 Stars)
I had a pair of Dansko Caitlin which I liked very much but after about a year I started to have foot problems such as heel pain and sore feet.I\'m on my feet for 12 plus hours so I need a pair of comfortable shoes.\r\nI ordered the Dansko Professional and wore them for about a month. I never got used to them. My feet hurt if I wore them more then a few hours. Worse, the top of my feet started hurting as well. Plus, I work on carpet and once in awhile the heel of the shoe caught on the carpet and I would trip. Not very safe plus my ego suffered a little as well.\r\nSo...I didn\'t really like these shoes.

I am very happy with these shoes. I work on my feet on a cement (under carpet/no padding) floors. Remember that if you have a wide foot like me, you will want to get them Wide. Also buy them big; they are more comfortable that way. I bought mine true to my size, and I could use a little more room in them. It has really helped my plantar fasciitis (although not cured it).

Great arch support, they are very narrow, I really wish they came in a wide width. Break them in slowly if you are not used to a high arch support. I am on my feet all day and they are very comfortable. My back feels great now too!\r\n

At first the shoes felt a little strange because the heel doesn\'t hug your foot. But once I got used to that I thought these shoes were great! Really comfortable as I am on my feet 10-12 hours a day. I wish the tooled leather or the paisley were available in wide width.

I recently bought my first pair of Dansko Professional shoes for work. I work 12 hour shifts and recently developed plantar fasciitis and leg pain. I have tried everything I could think of to help. Then I read a review about these shoes and thought I would give them a try. So glad I did. My feet are almost 100% and my leg pain is gone. The best money I ever spent on a pair of shoes! They fit a little different then normal shoes, but takes no time at all to get the hang of it. They run pretty true to size, and myself needing a narrow and that being in stock was an extra bonus.

My husband I took a trip to the British Isles this past summer and I was in a quandry about what shoes to take, because to tour London, Dublin, and Edinburgh (and all points in between) was going to involve miles of walking. I took my Dansko clogs out of the closet and stuck them in the suitcase. When I got to London, it was also raining occasionally so I decided to wear the Dansko clogs instead of athletic shoes. I walked all over England, Scotland, and Ireland in my Danskos and my feet were never tired, sore, or stressed, plus the support also kept my back from hurting. I\'ve bought a couple more pairs of Danskos to always wear when it involves a lot of walking. Plus they look pretty cool with my jeans. Amazing!!

Zappos was great!. I was a little disappointed in the size of the shoes and Zappos exchanged them. When I go the new pair, they fit great in the length, but they no longer felt like a narrow. If you have a narrow foot, you may not be as happy with the purchase. The heal of the shoe is much wider than the toe box. I ordered a narrow and they still slide off of my feet.

These are great shoes! I have a very narrow foot and these fit nicely over the arch and top of the foot. They have room in the toe but they are a clog style so they should. I have worn them twice already for long days at the hospital and they have made my feet very happy! Thank you for carrying the narrow!

Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I love the Dansko Professional shoes. Can't & won't wear anything else. They eliminate my lower back & arch pain felt if I try other shoes. I am on my feet 8-10 hours a day and lifting all day. A friend told me about them years ago & I've been an avid fan ever since. They also last 4X longer than any other shoe. Anyone I have gotten to try them never goes back either. It is a no brainer; these are the shoes to wear if you are on your feet for any length of time. And they look good! Zappos is the place to get them, too. Can't beat the deal. I am one happy Dansko & Zappos customer.

The shoes I ordered from Zappos are fantastic, as if I went to the store and picked them out myself. Perfect condition! Ordering was easy and they arrived at my house on time. I love shopping online with Zappos!
