I got these shoes because of plantar fasciitis, and I do believe they are helping, though, because the sole is not cushioned, there is still a bit of a bur when I am walking. Standing, however, is no problem whatsoever.

Great commuter shoes, I wear them with a suit walking to work, allowing me to stay comfortable, walk fast, and keep down the wear and tear on my professional dress shoes. These replace a similar Dansko pair that I wore out completely after 5 years of daily wear in E. Europe. Given the number of miles on the old pair, I more than got my money's worth out of them. These shoes are a bargain, despite the price tag. The only problem I've encountered is an odd squeaking noise that the right shoe makes when I walk. I'm hoping this will disappear once they are fully broken-in.

These shoes are well made and the design is very comfortable. I no longer have foot pain on my first few steps out of bed in the morning. The only trouble I have is that my feet have high arches and presses against the top of the shoe which is not pleasant. I hope the break-in period will be quick. These size and width are true to the label. If you need wide then get a wide.

Very functional shoes that can dress up or down, not hugely stylish. Very good foot support. They are listed as being 8.5 to 9 US sizes and I would say they are much closer to 8.5 than 9. They do stretch a bit after wearing them for about an hour.

Comfort, if this is what you are after this shoe fits the bill. I work in the film industry and work very long days a lot of the time. I love wearing Danskos. They give pretty good arch support. They are loose on my foot so they aren't rubbing anywhere. I like wearing them with bare feet the best, although socks are fine as well. They look kind of cute with knee socks and a skirt. I've worn these for 15 years or so and always come back to them when I really want a comfortable shoe. They aren't the sexiest shoe, but they do make me taller. You have to go up a full size in these or they won't fit. I forgot and had to exchange the first pair I bought. You want them to move on your foot. They stay on because of the design and the back so they don't slip off like clogs sometimes do, but you want them to move a bit while you walk, too. Little things: they do scuff easily especially the matte finish ones and you can see the staples on them. I still obviously think they are worth it, though.

I like Simple shoes as well. I bought the sneaker that is recycled in green its very cute and very comfortable.

I am a medical student and am on my feet for very long periods of time. So, I needed a comfortable shoe, as well as one that looked professional and could be worn with dress clothes or scrubs. I saw that an overwhelming amount of hospital employees wear this brand of shoe. It took some getting used to, but I definitely love these shoes. I can be on my feet for 16 hours and they won't hurt. Due to the design of the shoe, there is a lot of room for the foot to move around. This causes the wearer to trip, stumble, and nearly roll their ankle when they are not used to the shoes (everybody who wears these shoes knows exactly what I am talking about). They are also a bit heavy, so combine that with the loose fit, and running up and down stairs is a bit of a chore. If they get dirty, they are easy to clean. One thing that I don't particularly care for is that I have 6 pairs, in different colors and styles, and they all stain my socks. They are not the most fashionable, but they can certainly be worn with anything and look decent. These shoes seem to lack good ventilation, so may not be the best option for people with even moderately sweaty feet. Overall, I am very pleased with this brand. After all, I own 6 pairs. This style is a nice simple choice.

I wore Danskos in medical school and throughout residency and found them to be the most comfortable shoes I have owned that also provide excellent arch support. While other shoes (e.g. Clarks) are extremely comfortable, I found the lack of arch support a real problem as I am on my feet all day. My main disappointment with this pair is that the left shoe was extremely tight on the top of my foot for about a week until it stretched a bit. I've never had that problem before. They're not the most stylish shoe, but if you favor comfort and support, this shoe is hard to beat.

These shoes are hard to buy without trying on because it seems like each pair fits differently. They were a little small for me and according to the size chart should have been a little too big. But thanks to Zappos fast and free shipping and return, I found my perfect pair and can easily send the others back!

They are okay. It has taken almost a year of occasional wear to actually be comfortable in these shoes! They are cute and match everything, which is the only reason they still get worn. They hurt my arch and are simply heavy. I wish I loved them like so many of you!

The Dansko Professional Series offers the best for those who have worn Dansko clogs for decades. I still miss the better fit of the Swedish made Dansko that I still have a few pairs of because they had a better toe box and fit, but this is the best clog available, really good on most surfaces. I have to order a size up. The all black looks best, looking all of a piece sole and shoe. Great for posture and being on busy feet for long days. Easy to keep looking as good as they feel. (Rate at 4.5 stars out of 5.)

I have a wide foot, so they were narrow to get into, and pinched for the first two times I wore them. Since then, as comfortable as advertised. Much less foot fatigue and low back pain. I would recommend them.

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.

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.

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.

These shoes are very squeaky!
In terms of comfort/style I have absolutely no complaints. However, the shoes squeak consistently on all floor types, which gets old. Also, the leather stains any socks that I wear with the shoes.

You may want to get this shoe one size bigger. It was very tight over the top of the foot. As far as the bottom of your foot, its very comfortable.

I'm so disapppointed. I originally ordered these in lime green, and they were comfy but the arch was too small and squeezed my feet. So I decided to go with these gray ones but one size larger. They are SO big that I can only wear them with thick socks and they're still too big. Be careful - they are comfortable but they will squeeze your feet.

Excellent choice -
This is an excellent choice if you're looking for a professional/casual shoe. The clog keeps your feet dry and warm. I’m thinking of buying a second pair, so I definitely recommend this pair.

Great comfort shoe for standing -
This is a wonderful shoe if you are on your feet for hours at a time! It is not a great shoe for walking because I have to curl my toes under to walk. It is heavy, but really comfortable and waterproof!

Nice shoes for work -
I'm on my feet a lot working in the medical profession. The shoes are slightly tight over the dorsum of the forefoot. I think over time, the shoes stretched to adjust to my feet. I've had less hip and leg pain since wearing these shoes. They have great arch support. The leather is very durable, and it's easy to clean off any work related spills on the shoes.

COMFY!
I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and well worth the price. They look professional which is a major plus. Definitely worth the investment. I can walk around all day & night and my feet don’t hurt at all! The arch support is rather high, but it is still very comfortable.

Not true to size -
I'm actually returning these. I bought them for my daughter - size 40 stated fits sizes 9 1/2 to 10. My daughter is a 9 1/2 but they were too short in the toe.

Comfortable and good looking, but a little stiff - I have worn other regular Danskos all my professional life. The difference with the leather is that it feels a little "unyielding" in the beginning. I'm sure that will pass with more wear though. I think you should order a half size bigger than you normally wear.
