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 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. 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.
- 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.

Excellent shoes, very comfortable - I wear them in the operating room which is nice because they have great support and allow you to wiggle your toes. One thing to note is that because they are hand stapled every pair fits differently - I tried on 3 pairs, same style same size and while one fit perfectly, I could barely fit my feet into another.

Dansko Professional Cabrio -
I ordered this shoe in two sizes, a 37 which I normally wear, I wear a US 7, and a 38. The 38 was too big and the 37 fit just fine, with plenty of room and my foot may be a tad on the wide side from years of going bare foot. The 37 is very comfortable. I'm even going to wear them while on my trip to Ireland, which is the reason why I purchased them. All boots I bought didn't cut it, but these are very comfortable. If you haven't worn clogs before, you'll have to get used to the way you walk in them. I own a pair like the Cabrio but in a slide, Sonia I think it's called, and many other clogs, so I'm used to them. My husband had a recent trip to the ER and just about every nurse and doctor had the Cabrio's on. Hey, they're on their feet all day so that tells you something. Try them. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Zappos for your usual great service.

These shoes are very comfortable. I walk just over a mile to and from my job in them. At first the shoes were a little stiff, but they are starting to loosen up after a few weeks of wear. They provide great support and really cradle your feet. Rough terrain (e.g. broken sidewalks) can be a problem because of the platform soles, but the rounded soles get me back upright in no time. They are not as stylish as other Danskos, but they look cute with jeans and the roomy toe box is part of the secret to their comfort!

These are great shoes - I work in events and sometimes have to be on my feet all day long. I never had to break them in; they were perfect from day one. Even though they feel big - my heel slips in and out of the heel cup when I walk - I've been told that's how they're supposed to fit so that you don't get blisters. They're a little clunky, but I highly recommend them to anyone who has to do a lot of standing or walking in one day.

Zappos did a fantastic job in shipping. I received in within 24 hours! The Dansko Professional Cabrios are a wonderful shoe. I learned, however, that the Dansko European sizes run smaller than Birkinstocks. I ordered size 39 and should have ordered 40. The shoes are the perfect remedy for my plantar fasciitis.

I now wear Dansko Clogs year round oiled finish for work black polished for dress. These shoes are great with or without socks, although I always wear with socks until broken in. They have done wonders for my back problems as well as my posture. The pain in my arches that I have suffered from all of my adult life is now gone.

These shoes are great! I am on my feet 12+ hours a day on the job and my feet never hurt. They are supportive, comfortable, and nice looking. I thought they seemed heavy when I picked them up out of the box, but on my feet, they did not seem heavy at all. I will definitely be looking for another pair in the future.

I am not new to these wonderful shoes, purchased my first pair 2 years ago. Loved them then and still love them. I ordered a different color this time...ordered them 5/11, got them 5/12. They fit perfectly; as a matter of fact I have not taken them off since they got here. The site does tell you to order a size bigger...you must trust them on that. I wear 9.5 women’s, and ordered size 41, and as I mentioned they fit perfectly. (They’re supposed to be loose at the back, with heel moving up and down as you walk.) PS. I am a hospital nurse.

Don't buy the gray -
These are very nice comfortable shoes that I purchased to wear for work. However, after two weeks of wear, they are completely scuffed at the toe and now look to scruffy to be professional. Whatever gray coating they put over the leather is horrible quality. Buyer beware!!!

Okay...
I'm on my feet all day (I work in the food industry), and one of my colleagues told me she swears by Danskos. She's worn them for 10 years and highly recommended them to me, especially because I have high arches. When I got them in my normal size (Women's 9.5 US), they were too small. I went up and they were fine - until recently. I've had them for almost four months and my feet are killing me. The biggest frustration for me has been the fact that keeping my balance is horrible! I tend to turn my heels at least five or six times a day; my boss even warned me about that. Unfortunately, these shoes are not for me - I'm very disappointed.

Super Comfortable!
These shoes are so comfortable. I bought them for a trip to Boston with a lot of sight-seeing planned and they did the trick. I originally ordered the size recommended (go up for half sizes) and that was way too big but with Zappos speedy shipping and return, I had the right size in time for my trip. I have a narrow foot so the smaller size was better.

Dansko Professional Cabrio -
This shoe fits great. The only thing I found was that it was a little tight on one side. I had it stretched and now everything works fine.

This is my go to everyday shoe.
Love the comfort of these shoes. This is my third pair of Dansko. These are great if you have to stand on your feet all day long and they also are very comfortable to walk around in. All around great shoes. Received my order next day. Zappos is the only place I shop for shoes now a days.

I've had a series of chronic foot problems for several years due to military service. I have a high instep and one foot has a bit of a falling arch and needs a considerable amount of support.
These shoes are by far the most supportive shoe with a professional look that I've found. I live in these shoes during my work week and am planning on ordering a few more colors for a little variety. They are a little clunky at first to get used to, but there is very minimal break-in. I recommend that anyone order them with a bit of a tight fit, enough length so that the heel slips easily.
I was reluctant to order them at first as they are quite a pricey commitment but was reassured that Zappos would accept them back with no trouble.

Comfy and practical -
Noticed they helped strain on my back almost immediately. They are slightly taller/thick through the sole than some shoes, so take a little getting used to, but well worth it. Nice color, although they do scuff relatively easily. I do, however, wear them for a variety of activities.

Comfortable shoe, but very tight on the top of your foot -
As far as the bottom of your feet, these are great shoes. They might be a little tight on the top of your foot, you may want to get one size larger.

Fabulous shoes if you are on your feet all day. I have very high arches, a broken bone in one foot, and chronic back problems. These shoes make all of the above feel better. They are not always the most stylish from a dressy perspective, but they are very practical and comfortable. I have found that the arch needs a couple of wearings to stretch out (again, I have REALLY high arches.) Other than that they are perfect. I have bought many pair of these in the past and will do so in the future.

Squeaky -
I first ordered these shoes way back in Oct. and wore them regularly. They developed a squeak after a few months and when I complained, Zappos very kindly took them back and mailed me a new pair. This was wonderful of them since it had been so long. I have been wearing the new pair for a couple of weeks now and, what do you know? They also squeak! I'm a teacher and I walk down long halls and make noise the whole way. Is this just the nature of Dansko shoes? I'm 2 for 2 so far! I've decided to put up with the squeak because of the shoe's comfort.
