Good work shoes, cute too. Not very swishy, but good support. I like them best with thicker socks, or using my gel soles in them.

The fit is terrific, and they are attractive, but the shiny patent leather is just not for me.

Exceedingly comfortable. I put them on and did not take them off until I went to bed. Order a size up - not down. Great for a wider foot. I will find out about arch support later. Now I am happy my toes are able to move around.

I have several pair of Dansko clogs. All are very comfortable and durable (you just can't wear them out!). My latest purchase was in blue pearlized color as I will wear them for running around and they are a perfect combo with my bootcut jeans.

Comfort and class, that's all we need for work! Lots of compliments and great Zappos service as usual! I would never buy shoes mail order except from Zappos - you make it so easy!

Great for traveling. Kick them off while going through security. So comfortable. During one trip my luggage never arrived for ten days and I went from dinner to the hiking trail in these amazing shoes.

Very comfortable. Great work shoe, not flat, not elevated. Sanitas are softer, but use either for work. I stand on my feet most of the day.

Perfect -
These are my default shoes for weather warm enough to not wear socks, but too warm for sandals. They are perfectly comfortable and versatile. The surface scuffs very easily, but it looks good that way.

After trying and returning several pair of clogs, Sanita Brand, I went back to Dansko and I couldn't be happier. I wore a pair of Dansko Clogs for more than 13 years and was devastated when they finally fell apart. Anxious to replace them, I found that most of the newer Dansko clogs had a padded instep collar that was too painful for my foot. I have a high arch and that was probably the reason. But then I saw the Dansko Sonja and that padded instep collar seemed shorter and the foot bed wasn't 'padded'. I ordered a pair and ,staying with my usual size (39) as I said earlier, couldn't be happier. The customer service at Zappos was outstanding and I have nothing but praise for everyone I Live chatted with . Ordering is easy as is returning unwanted shoes. I highly recommend shopping at Zappos!
Happy, Zappos Customer,

I am pretty happy with this purchase. This style fits slightly looser than a black pair of Dansko clogs I bought. I suffer from plantar fascia and Dansko is the best brand so far. I can't wear this shoe everyday, but glad to have them with the right outfit.

Ready to buy my third pair. I love these shoes for walking to and from work as I hate to wear running shoes. They are also the best for touring as they can be worn with skirts in a pinch. I wear a 10 US wide and the 40 fit better than the 41. The 40 was short on one foot but they stretched over time. The shoes feel hard when you first put them on but this is deceptive as they are very comfortable after miles of walking. The only problem I have is after a long while they stretch and my foot tends to slip. A must have for any city walker.

My new work shoes . . .
The Sonja's are my third pair of Dansko shoes. I'm a teacher, so comfort is important; although I must admit I've never found Dansko to be as amazing as some of my friends (who work on their feet) seem to think. Anyway - I'm pleased with these shoes. I bought the antique brown pair and they go very well with jeans. The shoes have been on my feet for about an hour and the top of one of my pinky toes has been rubbed a bit raw (yowch!). I'll see about breaking them in with socks (around the house). As far as sizing goes, my full Dansko clogs (with heel covered) are size 39. I normally wear an 8 or 8.5, so the 39s give me the extra room Dansko recommends. I've found, however, that my new Sonjas (also a size 39) give no extra room. In fact the edge of my heels fall directly in line with the back edge of the shoes. Maybe as they soften up, my foot will move forward in the shoe (?).

I have worn the original Dansko's for years and these new ones have definitely changed. The inserts are stiffer no more cushiness and less arch support, and the soles are stiffer. They are good for wearing around the house shoes but maybe not at work all day long. I like the color that I choose :):)

I really liked these clogs, but I have a wide foot (but usually do OK in a B-width) and high arch, and after a while, the staples started coming out on each side, so before I wore them I'd have to hammer them in with a hammer! I finally threw them out.

I have always loved Dansko clogs, but these were not comfortable. The leather upper came back too far on the heel, and rubbed both sides of my heel. This is my first purchase of Danskos in about five years. Have they changed their already-perfect styling?

Too wide on top of foot. The shoe kept slipping off. Older style molded to foot and stayed on.

Ugh!! Finally had to replace my favorite, original, go-to pair of Dansko Sonja's because they only lasted about 20 years. The only sign of wear on those was the cording around the instep was beginning to crack and peel. I wore these more than any pair of shoes I've ever owned. I've had to run through airports in these, climbed up and down the steep hills of Seattle, WA, traversed shopping malls, traveled extensively----and all without one blister, sore feet or body aches caused by these shoes. I might also mention that I've had a history of knee issues and surgery and was able to wear these without triggering complications or pain.
So, I put on my new pair. They feel just as wonderful as my originals. I bought black this time, but I may try to repair the piping on my original pair because I love them and would regret making a hasty decision to throw them out.
I normally wear a size 9, but ordered up a half size. (40)

I purchased these to replace a pair I got years ago when they were still made in Europe. Dansko is definitely the wider fit of the two companies, Sanita and Dansko, which was perfect for my wide feet. After spending a day barefooted on a hard surface my feet were hurting and after I slipped these on, I immediately felt relief in my arches. They have just the right amount of room in the toe area for wiggle room, and the curvature of the sole creates a rolling motion when walking so as not to feel too stiff or clunky.

PBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I wear an 8 1/2 normally but order the recommended European 38 (7/12 - 8), as usual, which fit perfectly and comfortably for me. There is even a smidgen left at the end of the heel so it could still work with socks. Dansko comes through again with a comfortable, solid product with no 'breaking it in' time. My foot runs a bit wide, but again, all good with a nice fit.
