Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

So I bought a size up after reading reviews and after talking with colleagues...I normally wear a women’s size 8 so I bought the size 39 and without some thick socks I am sliding around in these shoes! With that being said, I wish I would have gotten the 38, but the 39’s have been doable. I work in the operating room so I stand almost all day and these shoes really do make a difference in decreasing my foot and leg pain at the end of the day.

I bought these shoes because I absolutely LOVE the color. But this shoe just isn't as comfortable as the XP 2.0- heavier and just not as cushioned. Sadly, I returned them.

I had a pair of Dansko shoes years ago and loved them. I ordered my normal size 6.5 and the shoe was way too big for me. It seems like the sizing as changed on these shoes over the years as I did not have a problem with my previous pair. Nice looking shoe and I liked everything else about it but much too big so I will be returning them.

Have truly enjoyed clomping around in these shoes for the past 2 weeks. Am a nurse in the ER. Pretty print and loved the extra height (am 5'5 the shoe adds 2 inches). At first I did not have any issues with the shoe fitting and being comfortable. Am normally a size 7 and ordered a 37. Unfortunately today one of the shoes (right shoe) became so uncomfortable and caused so much discomfort I had to run to the car mid-shift and change into my old dumpy tennis shoes. Granted I normally walk 11,000 to 14,000 steps per shift. The pain was localized to the top of my foot. Top of foot is now swollen and red (looks like an inflamed tendon). HOWEVER would still recommend the shoe because I enjoyed walking in them so much prior to the tendon issue. also----i I got the black cheetah pewter leopard patent color and I highly recommend the color choice

Size is consistent with every other Dansko professional I've purchased over the last 20 years and I love the look of the natural colored heel with black upper. The only issue I have is with the relative comfort of these shows. The insole is very hard. I have 2 other Dansko Professionals from a few and several years ago and these seem harder. They are definitely harder than the Dansko XP 2.0s which I bought with this order and ended up keeping, as they are much more comfortable. If I didn't try the XP 2.0s, I would have kept these, as they are not uncomfortable, but the XP 2.0s are noticeably more comfortable.

I consistently wear a 39 in Dansko. These felt bigger than the usual 39. I even tried wearing socks - still swam in them. I’m going to keep them for winter and just get some thick socks.

love these shoes so much!! as an ICU nurse, I am always on my feet and these are one of the only shoes that don't cause any foot pain. I do tend to size up-if I order my true size I have to break them in quite a bit or I will have some pain on the top of my foot. The color (Stone Waxy Burnished) SO COOL. I get compliments all the time at work, and honestly could probably rock them with some boot cut or flare jeans and they'd look like round toe boots. The gradient is a little less subtle than the picture suggest, but it still works!

SO cute! My usual size but couldn’t get my foot into it.

This shoe's fit was fine, feels like the same quality in other Danskos I own. I am sending it back because of the color. It's kind of a rose red which didn't work for me.

I have an old pair of Dansko Professionals that have held up beautifully for years. I would think these would be the same but I am sending them back because of the color. It is too much of a yellowish brown.

I know everybody swears by these shoes, but I find them very uncomfortable. There is no cushioning at all in the sole. It feels like you're walking on hard wood. I wanted to remove the insole to put in a softer insole so there would be some cushioning, but the insole is sewn into the shoe and is not removable. I also find them heavy and clunky. I feel like Herman Munster wearing them. I know I'm a minority opinion, but if you like cushiony feeling shoes, don't get these.

Teachers love Dansko! These do have less of a fabric look than I was expecting, but still very nice.

So Sad...wish these had fit. I wear a 10 and my toes were scrunched in the toe box without socks. Had to return. Go the next size up if you're a 10.

Looking for a supportive work shoe for a clinical lab. Enough though I ordered wide, not wide enough for my bunion cursed feet. Nice quality and look with length being just right. Sadly returning.

This is the first time I've purchased a low profile Dansko shoe. I usually wear bootie styles and live in a colder climate so it makes sense. For whatever reason, I hesitated to by this standard style despite the the excellent reviews. So, thank you Zappos for putting them on sale and having my size which gave me the nudge I needed. I love them and plan to wear them to Europe in fall. There's only one issue: I bought the moss color and wonder what to do when they get scuffed (two days of wear and they already have scuffs on the toes)? Is there such a thing as moss green shoe polish?

I had a pair of Dansko professional clogs for 4 years and the sole broke and outside leather tore on one shoe. I debated about getting another pair because, for me, they were not the miracle shoe many others described them to be in regards to leg and back pain relief. However, they weren’t any worse (and probably slightly better) than the sneakers I’d wear with the bonus that they lasted 4 years as my primary work footwear! I ended up buying 2 pairs! I have to size up significantly in Dansko to get the classic heel sliding you want in a clog. My instep is very high and I have wide feet too, but no other foot issues like bunions or planters fasciitis to compare comfort. They fit as expected for this brand. I usually wear a 10 in most brands, but in Dansko, I need a 42 (11.5 - 12)! As far as style, they’re clogs, they have the classic bulbous clog toe - all the more room for my toes to be free.

I already own the 41s in the regular width. Although they are comfortable and I love them, I thought the wides might give my bunions a little room to breathe. Unfortunately the wides don't feel all that much wider than the regular width. Additionally, this is literally the only shoe I have ever worn that was uncomfortable on my instep. I hoped the wides might come with a higher instep, but are just as restrictive as the regular width. Back they go.

I am new to Dansko, so wore them around the house several days to see if they would be comfortable for my teaching days where I put in more than 20,000 steps. They are gorgeous shoes, but one of my big toes got really sore from hitting the top of the shoe. So, I need to return these.

As comfy as they were, the honey is actually yellow. I returned but a different color.

I love Dansko Pros and was looking for a good color to wear when I am not at work. This wasn't it. The toe, which appears a bit darker than the rest of the shoe in the picture, is quite a bit darker and just looks (to my way of thinking( weird. I also think that the gray-is color of the uppers does not work well with the warm brown of the outer sole/platform. Otherwise, just great.

I wish it was a solid red. They look worn out.

Not sure which location this pair was made at but it is fully a size smaller than my other 39s. And the instep is very low. Will be returning for different size.

great shoes! I am an RN in the ICU and I they help me get through a 12 hour shift without any foot, leg, or back pain. I sized up from my last pair, and I'm so glad I did! Was able to wear them without the painful "breaking in" phase. One thing to note, is that there is a much more profound color difference in real life. The toes of the shoe are much darker than the rest of the shoe--not as blended as the picture makes it look.

I wish these were a little truer to US sizes. The 43 was just a bit too short to really be a size 12. I wish Dansko would up the women's sizes by one size! So many good styles. Back to the men's department for me. :( super sad face.

It’s very cute but so different than my normal sneakers. I am not sure if they will work for me.
