Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

These are very supportive and comfortable. They fit like my last pair of Danskos did. I can wear them for 12 hours in the operating room and go home without aching legs and feet!

The toe box in these shoes provides ample room for feet which have very slight bunions. I am in the process of buying my second pair. I typical wear a shoe size 7.5-8, and size 38 fit me perfect. These shoes are versatile, can be worn with jeans or black slacks and great for walking around the city amongst cobble stones and uneven pavement.

I was really surprised at all the people who said this shoe felt like it ran small. I felt the opposite, However, maybe it's more of a width thing for me than a length issue. My feet feel like I'm swimming in this shoe. I've had several Danskos in the past (although never the Dansko Professional series), all size 36--just like this pair. But they fit me and this feels a lot bigger. However, it feels fine when I wear really heavy socks with them. I was thinking of using them as winter shoes, so I may keep them and just wear heavy socks when I wear them. Wearing them around the house to try out until I make a final decision...

Great shoe for nurses who are on their feet all day, if your feet want a rigid support. Gave 4 stars since the in-step feels a bit tight right now...

The most comfortable work shoes with a nice pattern. I'd wanted the solid black professional, but happy with these because they are discreetly patterned, work with everything in my closet, and aren't plain black! I have found the Dansko professional fit differently with each pair tried on. Although my pair is a little short in the toe, I didn't exchange them and now wish I had. Sometimes you need to try a few pair to get just the right fit...it is worth the trouble. FYI.

At first it fits great, but it takes a week or two to break in. My feet hurt after wearing them after 8-12 hours of work a day. After a couple weeks being broken into they are great for work. Just give it some time for them to shape into your feet.

Is it me, or are Dansko's getting smaller? I normally wear an 11W (the width is due to a bunion). I used to be able to wear size 43 Dansko's, but now that they are making cute and pretty new colors, the 43's no longer fit. In fact, when the silver floral patent Professionals arrived in size 43, I couldn't even get my good foot into it! So disappointed...I will order plain black Professionals in wide, because they are such great shoes, but I would love to be able to get some cute styles in a size that would fit. When you have large enough feet, the cute styles don't always come "in the next size up!" Help!

I've heard and read about these shoes. They do feel a little snug at first, but it takes a couple of weeks to break. After that they feel true to its size and shape to foot. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the color too. Work wise, as a cook and standing for 8-14 hours, they're great for posture.

Very cute, would have loved to have kept them, but was concerned about the tightness across the top of my foot. I have a high instep, if the shoe will loosen up enough, great, but if it doesn't then I wasted money. Decided not to risk it.

I bought these shoes and I will wear them because of the arch support. I have had plantar fasciitis and these shoes work for that. I hate the way that they look...the cheetah print makes them more feminine and tolerable...in my eye. If you need support, then these are great.

Great, well made, comfortable shoe, but Danskos seems to be making their sizes bigger. In past years, Dansko 37's fit me. I just swapped these for a size 36.

I love my Dansko clogs. They are very comfortable clogs. Worth the money spent. Can be on my feet all day at work and I don't get any back pain. I have gotten many compliments on these clogs because they are so colorful.

I found that the left foot fit different from the right foot, as though it was stretched out.

I am a math teacher and bought these Dansko Professionals to keep at work to help my feet and back. Looks: The colors work with any outfit I wear - that is a plus (they have a bit more gold than the pictures shows). Comfort: I expected these shoes to be out-of-this world comfortable but they are just OK. The arch support helps my feet and back but they are very hard (like Dr. Scholls from the 70's). Thank goodness I live in FL and hardly ever wear socks because these shoes fit snugly and don't leave much room to add thick socks. Overall I am satisfied with this choice but was hoping for them to be more forgiving on the inside instead of rigid.

These multi leopard Danskos are super-cute, but they fit and look much looser than others I have in the same style and size. They look stretched out at the top. Sadly I'm returning.

Every different print of Dansko shoes size is different. Some are huge & some are smaller but they definitely run bigger than normal. My shoes size normally ranges from size 5-6 but with Dansko, I have to wear a size 4 (35). When I ordered several different pairs of different colors, some runs real big like the Psychedelic color but some are medium fit & some fits just right on me...very frustrating esp when i totally love the psychedelic pair & I have to put inserts before I can walk on it without slipping off my feet. Dansko, please be consistent with your size & provide size 35 on all styles...think of small feet people like me who loves your shoes!

I think these shows are great but you have to be care when walking that you do not twist an ankle or slide off the back of the shoe. Other than that I love these shoes. Oh yeah do not walk on an wooden treated board in the start of cold weather will really hurt yourself... fractured tail bone in these shoes.

I ordered a size larger and still not large enough. It could just be me. Love the shoes, but won't be able to wear them. Actually, could not even get my foot in the shoe because the instep area was too small. Love the shoe, itself, though, and think it would be very comfortable IF I could wear it!

Im a nurse and needed new shoes very badly. After hearing people rave about Danskos I decided to give them a try. Yes there is a bit of height to the shoe but they dont feel unstable or too high. The footbed is also harder than most other shoes, but it isnt uncomfortable. I wear a size 10 and fit into a 41 perfectly. These shoes also have great arch support. I purchased the Flower Power ones and they are really cute. The clogs arent the most fashionable shoes but when youre one your feet over 12 hours a day comfort comes before looks and these are a winner.

I really like the support, relief of low back and knee strain, however the rubbing is causing corns on the small toes of both feet.

Doctor’s clogs - I bought this shoe to wear in the morgue while I do autopsies. It is comfortable, easy to wipe clean, and does not make my feel smell horrible, like rubber clogs do. I would not wear this shoe anywhere else but the morgue- I do not think that it is at all attractive!- but I highly recommend it for those who are on their feet at work for long hours. Dansko does make cuter shoes, so you can get the comfort without having to wear rather ugly shoes- I also own a version of the Dansko Merrie, which I do not wear in the morgue at all because it is so cute.

Solid as a rock - I bought these based on several reviews I read here on Zappos. I needed a pair of shoes, no matter how costly, that I could wear to my retail job where I have to stand for up to six hrs. at a stretch. These shoes definitely have a high instep, which, if you're not used to, will take some time to get used to, and you should wear these shoes for limited amounts of time until they are broken in...I found them to be a bit stiff at first.

Wish they came smaller - I got the smallest size in 35 (4-4.5) since I'm a 4.5 but it felt like a 5. I wish they fit because they're comfortable and stylish. Good thing for the free return shipping!

Class Act - This shoe has no flaws what so ever. I don't think you can change anything about the sizing of the shoe because if you could, I'm sure a lot more would sell. For instance, I would have given this shoe an overall rating of "5" instead of a "4" if I had gotten a 7 instead of an 8. Because now my Danskos are much bigger even though I love them sooooooo much. Thank you very much.

Not for long walks - Despite all the hype, I don't find Dansko Professional the most comfortable. The footbed is very hard. I first wore them at home for a couple of days, they felt fine. But then I went for a three-hour walk in them. My feet felt bone-breaking pain for two days. They look nice with jeans and casual pants. I decided to keep them. Maybe I can break them in someday.
