Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

Love Dansko's - I am an allied health prof. And on my feet for 12 hour shifts. Dansko's are the best. I have tried all types of other shoes and these give me the support that I need for my plantar fasciitis. They do take a little getting used to, but it is just because they are so supportive. My feet don't hurt anymore when I am leaving work. I love the confetti felt design. I get so many compliments on them at work and they are "black" enough to make them ok with our dress code at work. Super cute with jeans too! I usually buy a 7.5 and I wear a 38...the felt ones seem to stretch a little more than the leather ones I have. Love them and highly recommend!

Cool shoes!!!! I purchased Dansko's Pro (Sky latigo) last month. I mainly purchase it due to comfort and to my surprise the color for this one is very cool. When I ordered this originally, it was quite big, then I returned it and got a smaller size (no hassles) - then MAGIC! Awesome shoes, comfortable, and hip. I highly recommend.

Not a nurse - I'm not a nurse or other professional that typically wears this style shoe. I work in an office at a desk most days. But I like to park as far from the building as possible (to protect my precious car from door dingers) and anything with a heel kills me by the time I get to my desk and makes walking for the rest of the day a nightmare. So I finally decided comfort was more important than cute and bought this shoe. It's actually really cute with my dress pants because they cover the back of the shoe which is the only part I don't like, aesthetically. The rest of it, I love because it combines my two favorites - platforms and clogs. I only wish they weren't so shiny. I have worn it almost everyday since I got them a couple of weeks ago and have not had a single problem with them. However, the sizing is waaaaay off. I originally ordered a 42 because I wear a size 12. I was hoping for the best even after reading the reviews that they ran small because I really wanted these shoes. It was more like a 10.5. I thought I was just going to have to return them, and then I noticed that they have men's also. So I exchanged them for a 45 in the men's shoe. Absolute shoe nirvana. It might actually be a tad too large but I didn't want to go with 44 and have it be too tight across the top of the foot which is a common complaint with this shoe. (Shades of Truvy from Steel Magnolias - "In any good shoe I wear a size 6 but a 7 feels so good I buy a size 8.") Anyway, definitely buy at the very least one size larger than your street shoe size. I also have a fairly wide foot (I can usually make due with regular width shoes though) but the width on these was absolutely perfect. I feel like I'm wearing slippers at work actually. I love them.

The best clog ever!!! Years ago I wanted a pair of these, but price was a major factor. I now work EMS and the boots look so manly that I wanted something nurseier! I love them, the support is amazing! They are molded to fit the sole of your foot and provide wonderful arch support as well as to the ball of your foot! Slipping on and off easily, I can jump into my shoes, now if I could just figure out a way to make the uniform better! Basically non slip soles and really comfortable in and out of ambulances all day and night! What a wonderful product! I plan to purchase more clogs from this company, wish I knew about these when I started nursing in 1990! Thanks Zappos! Great product, great price, no shipping!!!

THE BEST support for your arches! I discovered Dansko’s when I first moved to Boston from the suburbs nine years ago. I discovered that walking everywhere in my trendy shoes made my poor arches ache, my knees hurt and my back ache. Noticing how many people on the T were wearing these, I bought a pair despite the decidedly non-sexy appearance. All my aches and pains miraculously cleared up and I could walk miles and miles and stand all day! Dansko’s take a little getting used to, if you are new to clog-wearing. They are not soft and cushiony like running shoes, but the support is amazing and they don't compress over time. In fact, I have a pair of Dansko’s that I've been wearing for six years straight and they are still just as comfortable as they were brand new! The sizing runs a little weirdly -- I'm a size 7 US, which is usually a 37.5 or 38 Euro sizing. However, the Dansko 37s fit me perfectly.

Suede is gorgeous - I have had several pairs of professional clogs in the oiled leather, and when I saw them in the suede (chocolate), I just had to have them. The suede is gorgeous and the colors are rich. As always, fit is difficult with Danskos. I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 40. I had to order a second pair, in the same size, as the first pair didn't work, the left one was too small. My other ones are also size 40, and they are fit fine. There is a lot of sizing variation in this brand, so if one pair doesn't work, try another in the same size. But they are wonderful when they do fit, especially if you are on your feet for long periods of time. I don't wear them when I walk for miles, but for standing a lot you can't beat them.

Dansko Clogs - As a flight attendant, I needed a pair of shoes that would be supportive while in the air, that would help save my feet during long hours and harsh conditions for the legs. It took me about a month to break in the clogs, which I will admit was NOT pretty. But now, they are complete heaven and have saved not only my feet and legs, but my back feels much better too.

Love ‘em - I am on my feet a lot and need great arch support and a sturdy shoe. If I had room in my closet I would have every color in this shoe. It helps me to avoid foot and leg fatigue. These shoes are not necessarily for someone seeking a sexy shoe. They are for fit, comfort and long wear.

Very durable, supportive shoe. I am used to wearing support stockings with an absorptive sock, but the sock won't fit in the shoe. It is tight across the top but is roomy enough with just the stocking. So I will use extra foot powder. Next time I will get a size larger. My only complaint is the footbed is harder than I would like. The true test is that my plantar fasciitis doesn't flare up and I work 12-13 hour shift in ICU. Pain free!

Confetti - My Favorite Dansko’s! I have gotten dozens of compliments on these super-cute Confetti Dansko’s since I bought them a week ago! They match every color and are so much more fun than plain black, but with all the comfort benefits of the classic Professional Clog. Be sure to spray them with a waterproofer every few months to keep 'em clean! These shoes were true to DANSKO fit - meaning I wear a 37 in my other Dansko’s and a 37 here (US 6.5).

Great shoe - Very comfortable! I'm a nurse that works 12 hours and I have to say my legs and feet feel much less fatigue wearing these shoes than other ones that I have tried.

Hours on feet -- no problem - First timer in the restaurant industry -- I'm on my feet some 10 hours a day -- splurged and bought these shoes and never have regretted the higher expense. Legs are sore, back, hand, head, but NEVER feet -- they give such great support that you could go all night dashing back and forth. Worth every cent!

I couldn't live without my Danskos - I am a flight attendant who loves to work, but can't do heels. A co-worker told me about Danskos 4 years ago and I wear them daily, for work and play. I work 50-60/month hours more than the average flight attendant and my feet NEVER hurt! I've recommended them to everyone and haven't heard anything negative. I have 5 pair if that tells you anything! They are worth every penny! They are supposed to be big!!! You are supposed to fit a pinky finger in the back and the heel is supposed to go up and down. Otherwise they don't fit correctly. It takes a day or two to break them in, but I will never regret my Danskos.

Love 'em! I love Dansko professional! I teach art to Elementary students--on my feet ALL DAY--running around on slippery floors. These are the only shoes I wear to work--my feet do not tire in these shoes. I have several other styles of Dansko, but these are by far the most comfortable and supportive. I do have to say that I think these work, especially well for people who have a high arch. Maybe that is why they have gotten some "poor" reviews.

Confetti Danskos are the Cutest!! Jackson Pollack meets ultimate comfort!! I adore Dansko clogs and just got the newest Confetti ones - without question, the cutest pair of shoes I currently own. I only buy Dansko's professional clogs with the backs on them and the more traditional style clogs such as Ingrid and Sonja. I travel in them, stay on my feet all day and walk miles without complaint. There is no better shoe made!

Great shoes! I teach elementary school--hence little sitting down! I wear these several days a week during the colder months...even with skirts! (My sons call them my "Dutch Girl Shoes"). I NEVER have foot pain, back pain, arch pain, or any other pain associated with being on your feet all day. Mine are getting pretty old-7 years-but still look GREAT! My son is going into culinary school, and he's getting a pair-just like moms!

5 star shoe - Best for all day, even without socks. No fatigue at days end. I am in the dental field and these work out great for me to wear with my scrubs, a great look!

Dansko's Professional. A Nurses Must Have - Dansko Professional is the only shoe that I have found that keeps my feet from hurting. I am a Nurse and on my feet all day. I find that Dansko gives my feet the arch support that I must have. Thanks Dansko for my second pair of great shoes. It was great purchasing them from Zappos. I received them really fast!

Great shoes - I am on my feet all day most days, and these clogs are really supportive and comfortable. They require a short break-in, but after that they are great. I love the jade, and my friend has the purple oiled which are really pretty color wise.

Excellent. Could not have been better…

They're great! These shoes are very comfortable. I work on cement floors and am on my feet all day...eight plus hours. These are the only shoes that I can wear for that amount of time without my feet hurting. They look great with jeans as well as other casual pants.

My favorite shoes- I love Dansko clogs, so no surprise these were perfect. The fuchsia is gorgeous! Not too bright, but definitely a real fuchsia. The professional series are so comfy and easy to walk in and great clogs for wet winters (with the protected back/heel). I'll keep adding the latest colors to my collection!

The best!! These are the greatest shoes ever. I own 3 pairs and just got the fuchsia leather in the mail today. Zappos is so speedy & the customer service is great. The color isn't too bright, but will be a nice accent with khakis or jeans. I can walk for miles in these shoes & find them to be like wearing good running shoes. Worth the money - you'll have them for years.

I'm a bartender and I've been looking for shoes for work because my feet have been hurting a lot lately with gym shoes which is what I've been wearing for 21 years. It took me 3 tries to get the right size in this shoe. I can image getting through a whole shift with them on. I last about 4 hours. Other reviews say it takes awhile to get use to them so I'm hoping that will happen for me. Other wise I can wear these shoes all day doing "what ever" and be fine. It's just work that I haven't been able to adjust to. Their a little expensive for a daily shoe but I'm keeping them. They are cute, easy to slip on and go. As a professional shoe? Only time will tell
