I like the ones with the softer sole but these are great once they are broken in.

Comfy! Perfect shoe 4 nurses with low arches. D*nsk#'s and S*nit#'s kill my feet. Not a fan of bodily fluids potentially soaking through, so running shoes are a no-go. Ariat's were the answer. Bought them at the outlet in KY & couldn't be happier. Had them for almost 2 years & they are still comfortable. Received compliments from colleagues & patient families. Only con: hubby doesn't like how tall they make me.

Oh my, I love these clogs. Comfortable even on the first day of wear. Normally I wear a 9.0 W so ordered the 9.5 because of the width; too big, so ordered the 9.0 perfect fit. As a nurse on her feet most I highly suggest these clogs. I love Zappos and tell everyone when I have a chance how great Zappos is. Thanks for the great products, S&H Zappos!

Love anything by Ariat. These are so comfortable. Comparable to the Dansko shoes. I also have some boots for riding my horses and that is why I decided to get a regular pair of shoes because they are so darn comfortable. They run a bit large so order a half size down. I am a 8.5 normally and had to get a 8 and they still fit a bit loose in the heel.

Love these shoes. This is my third pair but be warned; they are a bit high and can put you a bit off balance. I love the extra height and the leather is softer than Dansko, although this is certainly a stiffer shoe. The support is great!

About Ariat
So they assembled a group of top footwear engineers and designers, and set them on the task of creating the world's most technically innovative performance riding boots. They started by re-designing the outsole, rethinking the arch support system and finally taking a hard look at the suitability of "traditional" last shape and fit. While they were building the technology platform for Ariat boots, they were also talking to hundreds of top riders who helped in the design and development of the final product.
In 1993, Ariat shipped their first pair of boots, and today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear, offering a full range of English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual footwear – plus new lines of performance apparel and accessories to fully outfit today’s equine athletes and equestrian-inspired lifestyle enthusiasts.
Whether you are a professional equestrian athlete or a novice rider, you will find an Ariat boot with the performance technology that is perfect for you. Ariat boots cushion the foot while stabilizing the heel and arch, dramatically reducing fatigue and stress to the feet, legs and lower back. This amazing technology can also be found in a variety of casual Ariat shoes – providing you with comfortable and stylish alternative for those relaxed, easy-going days.

I love these! I have "Nurse Feet" (my feet have gotten wider over the years)& my shoe size varies on the width of the shoe. I used to be a 7 to 7 1/2 and now I wear 7 1/2 to 8. I can wear a 7 1/2 in the Keen brand a 38 in Dansko & Birki's. I got size 8 in these, so I could wear thicker socks. They are comfortable for an entire "Nurse" day but I wear medium thick socks with them. They are a little heavy, but very comfortable with great arch support. They look fabulous and give me a little more height. Since I am a short 5'1", I like that. This is a cute shoe that does double time at work!

If anyone ever would try to compare shoes to, let’s say, cars (and I am not mistaken: shoes are important to us much more then we know. They represent us, compliment us, comfort us, and work for us), I would describe these shoes as four wheel drive elegant mini-SUV. The jobs I have had required to be on my feet longer then 12 hours, run fast on concrete floors and carry heavy loads. If anyone worked in a hardware store, any restaurants and were taking studies in nursing programs, they know what I am talking about. "Zappos" customer service is amazing. I've got my order literally next day. Well, I am very happy with shoes. "Zappos" you have my love!

I’m a hairdresser so I’m on my feet for fourteen hours a day. I will only wear my Ariat Dawson shoes. I did have to go up a size so I could wear heavy socks on cold VT. days. I now have two pairs of Ariat Dawson in Black/Brown.

Fantastic all-around comfortable, good-looking clog. Bought it in black. I have a high arch and these support it well. Beautiful leather upper and lining. Nice heel height--compatible with jeans, pants, or skirts (looks hot with black tights). As my foot is wide across the toe box, I would ordinarily choose a wide width, but these don't come in wide, so settled for a B width. So far-so good...no issues with "too tight." In summary, couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU Zappos for making my shopping experience so pleasant!

These shoes are great!!! Took me a long time to find a shoe that was comfortable for the 10 hours my work shift demands me to stand!! I listened to a past review and ordered a half size larger and then had to send them for my true size which was a perfect fit!!!

Great shoes. Very comfortable and the size is just right. They fit great with no pain to the arch in my feet whatsoever. They also make me look taller, which I really like.

I love my Ariat Dawsons! I wear custom orthotics, so it is a challenge for me to find attractive and comfortable shoes that have removable insoles. I usually wear Keens, which are also excellent, but there's something about these Ariats that I particularly appreciate: they're warm! While wearing Ariats, your feet will not come in contact with the cold, moist ground. The heel is higher than Keen's and similar Dankso's (which they look similar to), but don't let that detract your attention away from their comfort; they are supportive and stable. They are perfect for work (I have the black pair) and weekends (look great with jeans). Finally, Zappos, once again, was excellent with their price and shipping. Sizing: I am wearing the same size that I wear in Keen's (8.5B), and I wear a 9.5B running shoe. (Dress shoe: 8.) Hope that helps!
Brands I'd also recommend: Keens, Danskos

I first purchased a size 7, but they were a little tight across the top of the foot. I called Zappos' excellent customer service and they helped me choose a size 8 for more width. The shoes are now extremely comfortable. Thanks for taking care of me again Zappos!

These are the greatest shoe in every way! This is my 2nd pair of Ariats and I love them! I used to swear by Dansko shoes, but I actually like these better. They are super comfortable, and I like that they look a bit less bulky as Dansko shoes can be.

Wow! These shoes are amazing! I am an art teacher and am on my feet all day. These shoes required no break-in time, and they are just what I've been looking for. They go with everything, have just enough lift to be flattering, and keep me from feeling fatigued at the end of the day. I'm over 6 feet tall and have a size 11 foot, so to find something that's so comfortable and fits so well is great. I am getting another pair next paycheck.

I love this shoe! It is very comfortable while still being stylish. I rated comfort a 4 only because it takes a little while to break them in; they pinched a little bit at the top of the foot, but once broken in, they're very comfortable. I plan on buying them in black too!
