Great Restaurant shoes -
These shoes are listed as non-slip but working At Chili’s with the oily floors I slip sometimes if not careful. Great comfort amazing arch support a little too much for my liking. I am a 7 but I ordered an 8 in this style with the back.

Dansko Professional -
Great shoe but not meant for uneven surfaces as there's no ankle support. The upper part may feel a bit tight across your foot. The finish is easy to keep clean so that's great.

Painful top of my right foot -
I do not like the look of the shoes, but my first priority for shoes at work is to keep my feet comfortable no matter what. Therefore, a pair of Dansko Professional were purchased based on recommendation from coworkers: "They are very comfortable and last long." The look of shoes is better than I thought when they were worn with work uniform. Arch supports and the quality of the shoes are great. But the serious problem that I have with the shoes is that the top of my right foot is hitting the shoe. That causes not only pain and redness on that hitting area of the right foot but also numbness on foot and leg by cutting off foot circulation. My shoe size is 6 1/2 C. When I tried them on at store, size 38 was too large for me and size 37 was comfortable. But after a couple of days later, the problem began with size 37. At first, I thought it was because of the new shoes. But it is getting worse by passing time. I am not sure whether the right shoe is defective or my right foot arch is too high for the shoes. I do not think that I can keep on wearing the shoes after several weeks.

I have a very high arch.. and the shoe comes up too high on my foot therefore hitting and cutting into the top of my foot.. My co workers love the shoe and swear by it. If you have a high arch try it on first and walk around..

Dansko Professional-
This shoe needs some time to get used to. After a couple of weeks, they get really comfortable. My biggest beef with these shoes is that they are larger than expected. I wear a size 5 women's which is a 35 for these Danskos, but they still feel really loose. The arch support also needs some getting used to. My feet ached the first few days. Overall, if you work on your feet all day, this is a good shoe to have.

Good work shoe -
Not the most comfortable shoe in the beginning, but once broken in they are a great pair of shoes.

I haven't bought a pair of Dansko shoes that I didn't like and these didn't let me down either.

They took awhile...
When I ordered the first time around, I ordered my true international shoe size (women's size 10, so a 40). I could not get my foot in them! I then tried on a friend's at work (same shoe) and realized I had to get a bigger shoe... a size 42, which fit perfectly. These shoes are not meant to fit snuggly, they are a loose shoe, where the heel moves with every step, not form-fitted to your heel. They are fitted in width correctly, and the arch support is FANTASTIC. Once you get the correct fit, they are very comfortable. I am a nurse, on my feet, and they have helped considerably with foot/leg fatigue.

I wish they fit better -
I am new to the health profession. I tried these on at a store and they actually helped my recently banged up knee feel better while walking! I thought I should get them for work. Was thinking about returning them after they felt too small for my feet, but was told they'd stretch by my co-workers. I am thinking of hiring someone else to wear them until they do, because they really hurt my feet. My knees and back love them, but my feet can only tolerate them for short periods of time. A bummer to spend so much and be disappointed :( I usually wear a size 9 and the 40 seems too short for my right foot. 41 was too big. Half sizes would be nice!

Dansko professional -
I loved the shoes until I got calluses on the balls of both my feet...very painful. After persevering with the calluses, they eventually disappeared and now these shoes are the most comfortable I ever owned. Go figure!

I love the look of my Danskos and they are so nice and easy to just slip on and run out the door to work. I can stand in them all day and my calves and back don't hurt. They felt a little shorter than expected but not uncomfortable. You have to wear thin socks though.

The leather appears to be in good condition and of good quality but WOW it is one full size larger compared to same shoe style purchased a 2 or 3 years ago in a different color. I ordered the Saddle full grain in 39 and will be returning.

Dansko constantly states an euro 42 is a women’s 12. It is not.

Clogs ran smaller than the Dansko open back styles. Arch is in the right place, but it seems like the toe box is shorter. Will have to return. Size up if you are at the upper end of the size range.

These clogs were too big. Not sure if I got a pair with faulty sizing but they were so large that I couldn't use them at all. I have been wearing Dansko clogs in 38 for many years and this is the first pair that runs so large. I returned these and got a pair of XP which fit well.

I so want to love these shoes! My old pair of this shoe is my favorite thing to wear for leg and foot comfort. I am taking an extended trip this year that will be largely walking and need some additional shoes for the trip. My 10-12 year-old Dansko Pros are size 40. In most shoes I wear a 9 Wide. I tried these, according to reviews on fit and size, in 39 W (too short), 40 W (swam in them!) and in 40 regular width. None of them fit. All were excessively wide and they don't conform to my foot as the old ones do. The top of the arch is loose and lower on my foot, the heel is more shallow. What's up, Zappos? Will I find the old model at a local retail store? I am SO disappointed!

I have worn Dansko professionals for 15 years with a perfect fit. I ordered these in my regular size but they were too large in the instep.
I did not like the color and the toe of one shoe appeared overly distressed.

I thought I would love these, but I find them too firm/heavy to be comfortable. A personal preference thing, the shoes are of good quality. But I feel like I am wearing weights on my feet.

I have very wide feet due to bunions. The left shoe- although "wide" as ordered- wasn't wide enough.

I'm not sure what's going on with Dansko. I've been wearing Dansko for years, always a 39 in medium width. I bought a pair in that size of couple of years ago which felt narrower, so when I bought the Professional in Distressed Honey - which I LOVE, by the way; this was a replacement for a pair I've had for 7 years or so - I ordered a 39 in the wide width. Unfortunately, I'm returning them. They are so narrow! For a wide, they're actually narrower than all of the medium width clogs I've had for years. (And I have more than a few pair.) I don't know if Dansko can continue to be my old standby...

i really wanted to like this but not a fan of the uneven color and what look like stretch marks on the tan leather.

Weird tightness around the arch of my food; I usually looooove Danskos but these are weirdly causing blisters.
