I have worn Dansko clogs for 30 years and worn a consistent size 37 for every single pair. I just ordered two new pairs and each size 37 was huge. What gives? I am returning both pairs.

These are larger than the similar pair I bought a few years ago. The base of the shoe is ugly and fake looking. The leather of the shoe is nice, but not enough to overcome the unattractiveness overall.

I've worn Dansko's for close to 20 years when I started developing foot problems. The doctor said I needed to bring the ground up to me and no more flats and they've served me well but in the last 3 years or so I've noticed they are not holding up like they used to the quality of the shoe for me has changed. I could wear a pair for close to a year now I can barely wear them for a month before they stop giving me the support I need. So though I love the design of this shoe I had to return it because the arch support broke down so fast. I'll just have to look for a shoe with a higher arch support.

Love the shoe but the 38s were too small and the 39s were too large. I have about 27 pairs of Dansko shoes and this is the first time I have had this problem :(

I own 3 pair these Dansko's from several years ago & ordered these b/c it was a different color. I ordered the same size as my others but when these arrived they were HUGE...length & width. The ones I currently own are over 10 yrs old so maybe they changed the sizing. Unfortunately I will return them.

I’ve worn Danskos for many years as a work shoe. I spend a lot of time on my feet and these shoes absolutely kill my feet! I’m so disappointed by the decline in quality of my go to work shoes.

I really wanted to love these shoes. So many people recommended them as I am a dog groomer and on my feet all day. However, after one week of wearing these 8-9 hours a day, I began to have terrible back and leg pain. I just don’t think there is enough arch support, they felt so hard on the bottom of my feet. I ended up buying a pair of slip on Skechers last week and after just two days of switching, my back pain has subsided. But the shoes themselves are really cute and seem like they would hold up well to water, dog hair, etc. I would just caution anyone who may have arch issues on buying these.

I bought these because I am on my feet all day and have horrible foot pain from plantar fasciitis. Well let me tell you, I didn't know foot pain until I wore these for several hours. They are heavy and stiff and painful. I don't understand how anyone wears these when they're on their feet all day. I would say my pain was 10 times worse after wearing these. Definitely NOT worth the price.

LONG TIME DANSKO FAN -- DISAPPOINTED IN NEWER FIT --I have been wearing these shoes -- Dansko Professional size 38 -- for almost 20 years. I generally have purchased 1 or 2 new pairs each year, retiring 1 or 2 at the same time while keeping 3 or 4 pairs in rotation at any one time. They tend to last for 3 to 5 years before I wear them out. I love these shoes. Over the past three or four years the construction has changed and it is difficult to find a pair where the the collar -- or the padded part of the top of the shoe that crosses the top of your foot -- is not too tight. My older Danskos still fit properly but I can barely get my foot into the newer shoes. I don't think the issue is my foot. Once in a while I find a pair that works. The pair I just ordered from Zappos, sadly, is among the tight group and I am returning them. I love the colors and patterns of the Professional shoes and wish Dansko would loosen the collar to its older measurement.

I ordered these shoes because I am on my feet all day and everyone seems to rave about these shoes. I opened the box and was so excited to have them! Big disappointment! They are extremely heavy, and they are rock hard! I don't recommend them unless you want to walk around with clumps of concrete on your feet. I don't understand the other people who rave about these shoes...but I tried them on in my house and within 1 minute couldn't wait to get them off. Sorry...not for me.

I'm so disappointed. I've been wearing Dansko clogs for years and years and the quality just isn't the same. I had these shoes for one week and the textured leather started crumbling off the shoes leaving bald spots. I have no issue with the great arch support these shoes provide but I seriously question the workmanship. This is the third pair of Dansko shoes that I've had to return because they started to fall apart, all three times within months of when they were purchased. I miss the days when Dansko made their shoes in Europe - seems like the quality has suffered considerably now that they manufacture their products in China. This is such a shame but I just can't buy shoes this expensive and have them fall apart. I'm going to give Sanitas a try. You should give serious thought to spending this kind of money for inferior materials before you buy.

I love the look of these but the design started to peel off and I haven't even had them for very long maybe a few weeks.

This shoe causes callouses -
I bought a pair od dansko professional last of june 2004 and I thought they were wonderful until I formed a callous on the ball of my left foot and now have one starting on my right foot...$110 is alot to pay for shoes and only able to wear them for 3 months. The friction of the shoe while walking in them caused the callous...Such a shame. They were comfortable til they caused the callous....they were the only new shoes I have bought in years. Now I have pain when I walk--will not recommend these shoes to anyone.

I buy a lot of Dansko shoes and this pair was the narrowest I have ever put on.

Beautiful shoe made with quality leather. I wanted to love these shoes but my heel on one foot felt sore after wearing them around the house. I don’t think there was any problem with the shoe. It just did not work for me.

Some Dansko clogs seem too wide for my feet, but these are PERFECT. The color is wonderful, too.

Absolutely gorgeous however it runs big and I must return it. I ordered my usual 37 but I walked right out of the shoe. Over all it is too loose in the heel. I’ll try a size smaller.
