The size felt too large and one size down was too small so I had to return both. I loved the look and feel of the shoe but unfortunately, the fit will not work for me.

shoes feel fine, little tight at first but do stretch out after wearing. Danskos are one of the few shoes that I can teach all day in and not have a back ache or my feet hurt.

I'm usually an 8.5 or 39 European - ultimately went with the 38 because I plan to just wear thin socks. They do feel like they've stretched a tiny bit. If you plan to wear in winter and are a half size I'd get the next size up. The 39 I could easily kick off which felt to insecure for stairs etc., and while the 38 is a little snug it's getting looser by the day so I think I'll be ok. My heel spur and other issues are happier in these than sneakers so it's worth the cash money in my opinion to have supportive, cute-ish work shoes. I got the honey distresssed and they look great with jeans, slacks, or even some skirts.

I am so happy to be back in Dansko clogs. They are the best for my feet and back. My posture is really improved as well. And! The plantar fasciitis that was digging me has been relieved! Yay
I was disappointed that the bottom is plastic, not real wood as in the past. It doesn’t affect the comfort or support but it doesn’t seem too environmentally friendly- and that’s a surprise in 2022.
I highly recommend these clogs to any nurse or medical professional on their feet a lot.

They are high quality and exactly what I wanted. I wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 so I ordered a 39. The top is a little tight across my foot, but they will loosen with some wear.

I usually wear Koi Sanita. This is my 2nd pair of Dansko. I usually wear size 36. This particular pair fit bigger. I put a shoe liner in and they feel better.

One foot of this pair of Danskos felt tight to start and never stretched to match the other one. I have tolerated it, but that is one issue with ordering these online to be aware of. The other thing about this pattern that I wanted to review is to avoid this design if you work in a hospital and intend to be able to clean them off if they get dirty. I only buy patent leather Danskos for work because I scrub a lot in OR and want to be able to clean blood off if necessary. The first time I wiped these with Cavi-wipes, the “petroleum” color finish came right off and they became plain black patent leather Danskos. Now I can’t wait for them to need replaced because they are super boring. Might want to get another pattern if you intend to disinfect them working in healthcare.

The Petrol Patent is beautiful and exactly as expected from the images but for me there's too big of a gap between sizes. I'm consistently a size 7.5 across many brands but the size 38 (US Women's 7.5-8) was massive on me – too much room both behind my heel and above the top of my foot even with fairly thick athletic socks. The size 37 was much more snug – definitely couldn't wear them with any kind of socks – but I couldn't get my pinky behind my heel the way the video says and the toe box felt very stiff. I previously had a pair of plain black Danksos in 37 which also felt slightly tight but they were more flexible than I think the Petrol Patent ones are, although maybe those loosen up over time too.

Dansko is very consistent in size and shape. These are very comfortable, a little heavy. The color, petrol patent, looks better in the photo. In reality, they look more solid black, but keeping them.

These seem to run a bit narrower than the Dansko Pros I've owned before. Had to bump up to a W thanks to a post-chemo left pinky toe that insists on wiggling out of position and getting itself blistered if it doesn't have a comfy wide toe box. These aren't perfect out of the box but a time or two of wearing will get them broken in to the point that I'll forget I have them on and think they're my trainers.

My rating is based on how much I love Dansko clogs. I’ve worn them for over 20 years. I’ve NEVER had an issue with any of the pairs I e purchased until now
This camo print is so cute! My issue first happened when I spotted these at Nordstroms. I thought just get my usual size (38). I’m glad I decided to try it on in the store because the 38 was waaayyy too big. I thought it was marked wrong- that’s how big it was, so I tried on the 37 and purchased it. It was more snug than I’m used to. When I tried them home later that day, they were tight. I could feel my toe on the seam.
Enter Zappos- I ordered a 38 just to see if I got a faulty size. Nope! The 38 is huge! Exchanged and ordered the 37- still nope- tight and toe on the front seam. I’m so confused because I’ve NEVER had a size issue with Dansko before.
Second pair heading back. So sad.

I have the Dansko Professionals in black leather, size 37W, and they are a pretty good fit. But this pair was way too big for my feet, especially my left foot, which slipped out too easily when walking around the house. My somewhat wide feet continue to be a sizing challenge, but I'm doing well with the Berrys in size 38 (regular width). I'll keep trying Danskos, because they have good arch support and have helped my problem feet!

Love these! Very comfy. They do slip a little while walking but I’m told that’s typical. Still a great shoe for all day wear as a teacher.

I have worn Dansko clogs for years. I always order a size 39. Sometimes there is a small variance in the size. This time the 39 was quite big. I will have to wear some thicker socks with them.

It takes a while to break into the shoes but after a couple of months, it gets comfortable. Overall, my back or knees don't hurt when I wear these shoes. The discomfort I find in this pair is the padding around the foot entry puts pressure on my foot and rubs my pedal vein. I work in the ER so I am constantly walking and towards the end of the day my feet ache.

I seem to have a problem with my size. I wear a size 4.5 M sometimes they fit perfect then sometimes they are a little bigger. Inner soles will work, especially if they are cute. Thank you for caring my size.

I normally wear a 39 in the euro sizing, but these had a significant gap at the heel and my foot wasn't secure even in socks. 40 is too big, 38 too small - I used to wear this style almost exclusively but the sizing doesn't work for me anymore.

I have always loved the Dansko professional. My friends have all made fun of me for wearing these ugly shoes. Ha! But, I teach and stand on concrete all day. These are great shoes. This pair, however, just was off in size. One shoe was snug and the other was way too big..... These clogs usually slip on your heel as you wear them anyway. One of these was almost coming off. Weird. I could probably order the same size and get the right fit. Depends on who is making them I guess.

I love the look of these, and they feel very supportive. I have a high arch, though, so the top of my foot felt tight. I think this style runs a little narrow, too: I ordered a wide width, and it was still a little narrow in the toe box. I usually don't have any issues if I order a wide width, so these may run a tiny bit narrow.
I am usually an 8 in shoes, and the length of size 38 was just right.

I originally ordered 40 but they were too loose and my feet were sliding around. I sized down to 39 and they fit better but are still a little tight on one food. I love the way they look, our uniform is navy blue so the honey color is very pretty and distinctive.

Loved these shoes but the material in the front wore off within 2 months and I had to return them.

These fit like standard Dansko clogs. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because the design started rubbing off during the first wear. They’re for work, so whatever, and the scuffing kind of blends in.
