Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

First danskos recommended by podiatrist - Very comfortable shoes! My doctor wears them herself and recommended them to me for treatment of my plantars fasciitis. I want more!

Wonderful!! Take a while to break in, but once you do, these are the most comfortable shoes out there! Totally love them!!! Have two pairs!

I might never wear another shoe again. These have really improved my lower back pain. I wear a U.S. size 11 but found 42 to fit just right.

Dansko Professional - I love my Dansko Professional. From other reviews, I thought it might run wide so I first ordered the "Narrow Pro". However, it was too narrow through the instep so I had to return it in exchange for the medium width. They do run a little wide through the toe part of the shoe, but true to width in the instep. Everything else was true to size. They are excellent quality and good looking. Once I got the correct size, they are great. I also ordered the "Sonja" (I think that's what it was called) with the open back as I liked this one so well. I love them both. Zappos offers great service also. They were here so fast. Good choice!!

Why did I wait so long to invest? I told myself I would spend the $100+ on Danskos when it was time to go back to med school (I'm working on some research now)... but all day on my feet in the lab, my back and knees have been killing me, so I splurged, and after 5 minutes of putting them on, my whole body felt better. My posture improved immediately today, and I was just a happier person. Happy feet! So it was either a very expensive placebo effect, OR all the reviews I read on here before I bought my shoes were right, and I should have invested in these shoes sooner. I don't mean to sound obsessive, but these ARE the best shoes I've ever had. More comfortable than sneakers or even (gasp!) slippers! If you're hemming and hawing over the expense, it is just like everyone says, Dansko is superior! I wish I knew about these back when I waitressed too. Zappo's speed and ease makes me want to keep getting more shoes here! More colors!

Comfortable "All Purpose" Shoe! I was looking for a shoe that I could wear almost anywhere and that would be warm and comfortable for winter wear. Dankso's Professional has fit the bill. I haven't worn any other shoe this winter (even to church!). Just recently I got into some deep mud, which DIDN'T seep inside, and they cleaned up good as new afterwards with a wet paper towel.

Excellent times three! Dansko's and Zappo's - After having Planter faciitis surgery on both feet with still no positive result with the left foot, I find I can literally walk if not run without pain. I too am on my feet with concrete floor 8 hrs. each day for work. The shoe helps my posture and places the pressure more to the front and off the heel. Feels like I am walking on a pillow, they are so comfortable. This is my second pair and I will not look elsewhere when it comes to work shoes. Also Zappos's on line was excellent in shipping and delivery. Within a few days I had my shoes, free shipping. They are well worth every penny. The shoes saved my feet and job. I love the comfort and style. Soo cute!!! and comfy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed if you have problem feet. I cannot say enough good. Keep making them I have 15 more years of work to go.... Thank you Dansko's and Zappo's Mary

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. After wearing them for 8 hours at work I dont have to rush home and take them off. They are attractive and durable. I highly recommend them to anyone who is on their feet for any length of time.

Dansko Professional - I work at two different retail locations. I'm on my feet the whole day. I realize the importance of having a better quality shoe due do getting older and keeping my legs and feet looking more attractive. This shoe is awesome and I will buy more and tell everyone I know about them and how wonderful Zappos is.

these professionals are fine as always but this pair had inner sole on one glued higher than other which tilted my gait. I chose 2 pairs of the XP2 because are higher heel and have removable insoles. I chose the Prof for the attractive pattern )

Similar to other reviews, shoe fit is at least a half to whole size large larger. Otherwise beautiful shoe!

It fit great with thick socks but as I wanted to wear them with nicer looking outfits they didn’t work. I could barely hobble around in them in regular socks.

Of all my Dansko clogs, these took the longest to break in (because the material is really stiff), and they are still a little tighter and more narrow than the others. I love the way they look and wear them a lot because of that, but I would recommend going up a size in these, unless you have narrow feet.

I previously tried the 37 which was miles too big. The size 36 fit nicely with the exception of the toe box which was very tight. Could be the patent leather is just a little less forgiving than other softer leathers. I’m so disappointed because this is such a beautiful print and impeccable made. I’m just too old to wear shoes that hurt!

Felt to small had to send back

I have multiple Dansko Professionals and these did not disappoint in quality or fit. However, the color, distressed honey, just wasn't for me.

Dansko is so inconsistent. For several years I couldn’t wear them at all because my instep is too high and they were putting too much pressure on the top of my foot. Now they are much better (still some pressure but not painful like it used to be). I have two newer pairs like this (one from 2023 and one from 2024) and the 2023 pair is narrower and the top of the shoe is higher than the 2024. The inside of the 2024 shoe is lined with polyester whereas my 2023 pair is not. Not sure if my feet will be able to breathe... we’ll see. If you already own Dansko shoes, check the date stamped inside them to see when and where they were made so you can compare pairs.

The color of the honey distressed clogs was much lighter than pictured when they actually arrived but the toe on the end was a very dark brown. It was too big of a contrast.

Overall this is a beautiful shoe, but the mixed sizing (8.5-9) didn't work for me. It seemed like a 9, so I have to return it.

The fit was fine but the pronounced blue on the toe was extreme

The fit was great for wearing in my apartment. I didn't know until I went out a few days later that they would slip up and down on the street and knew that I couldn't return them once I had worn them outside. I have to wear shoes at home and these are the ones I wear very comfortably. These are 42 W and the other Dansko clogs I have are 42 medium (thought they were getting a little cramped in the toes). Perhaps with the right heavy socks I could wear them outside.

Fit and size was good, high arch support

Love the style and fit. Sadly, this pair/style had very slippery soles. I realize I could sand them or add non-slip materials. I decided instead to stick to my comfy, non-slip sneakers. I'm in my 70's. Can't chance a fall. Too bad tho', I love the look. Once had a pair of Danskos that lasted over 20 years. I was in my early 50's then. Not afraid to slip. LOL. Thank goodness for Zappos easy-peasy returns!

These fit great, but the leather is very oddly textured, unlike the last pair I had. It makes the color look very strange, because I ordered the tan. So the “top” of the pebbly texture is dark and the bottom is almost white. Last pair, same color, much smoother. Returning and ordering again hopefully to get a nicer finish. Need to love them since I wear them daily at work. These shoes are simply the best for working in healthcare and in your feet all day!
