Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

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.

Bought these to replace a pair that I purchased 3 yrs. ago... the older ones were looking a bit worn, but are still in great condition for around the house and outdoors. I love fashion shoes and wear often, but as a "soccer mom" and volunteer, these Danskos cannot be beat! I wear a 9-9 1/2 and the 40s fit perfectly... a little stiff in the toe, but that softens with time. During fall, winter, and spring I probably wear them daily. Not too pretty, but they do make a larger foot look a lot smaller. They are the norm where I live rather than exception.

Made the mistake of ordering the next size up and it is looser than I normally like. I have another pair in a smaller size that has stretched. I recommend buying the smaller size for your foot (e.g. if you wear a 7.5, buy the 7-7.5 rather than the 7.5-8). The sole is hard, so it’s more of a standing-around shoe than a walking-around shoe.

Comfort Shoes - This shoe gives me comfort in my legs, where it used to hurt so bad, since I start wearing them it help me a lot. I am wearing my shoe all the time. I love my shoe very much. Anyone with a foot problem, please try these shoes, they are so good.

Almost perfect - I hate my Danskos for about the first 3 weeks that I own them, they rank up there with my 5 in strappy stilettos. About 2-3 weeks later, I start to love them and forget all about that hateful break-in period. I used to wear Crocs but found that while they're comfortable for a little bit, my back would ache at the end of my 12 hour shift...and when you’re on your 3rd 12hr in a row, being achy is NOT acceptable. (We can no longer wear crocs for work at the hospital.) Dansko leaves my back and feet happy. They may feel a little tired at the end of the shift, but they don’t hurt or ache...a miracle. You'll never find me wearing another shoe for work, I’m on my third pair.

This is a fantastically comfortable shoe. This is also one of the priciest shoes I've ever owned. Nevertheless, it is pretty comfortable to wear the whole day considering I'm on my feet most of the day and my feet are pretty wide and swell as the day progresses. It isn't the cutest, but I wear pants anyway.

Great medical professional shoe - I purchased this shoe to wear while standing for long periods. This shoe provides wonderful support and the leather surface allows for easy cleaning.

My Dansko clogs are comfortable. Although these are reviewed as being smaller than marked size, I did not find that to be true. 7.5-8 was a bit too big for my regular size 7, but still comfortable. Very strong arch support that took some getting used to with my very flat feet. Style is ok - great with jeans, but somewhat too casual with khakis.

Great shoe for work. I waitress so I’m on my feet for long hours so comfort is a must. Not the most stylish shoe but when you need comfort they’re good.

Dansko Professional - These shoes are a godsend. I stand at work all day and these shoes are comfortable. The leather is a little hard, but I know it will soften over time.

Dansko Professional clog - These are comfortable and I could wear them all day at work and my feet felt great at the end of the day. Zappos is a great place to get shoes. Excellent service! Quick delivery! I will order from Zappos again.

Dansko Professional - I like the shoes. But I can not wear them at this time due to the fact that one shoe fits tighter then the other. So I have to wear them at short periods at a time to make them fit more comfortable.

Not what I was expecting - Dansko says "Your heel should lift up and down with every step" but that just seemed too weird to me. I ordered a 10.5-11 which is the size I usually wear. But they just seemed sloppy and bulky - but I think they're supposed to be that way. If you are looking for a shoe that your foot won't have to do any work to keep on - this is not the shoe for you. If you are looking for a clog that looks more professional - this is it. I returned my first pair, as it just felt like the shoes were too sloppy with my heel lifting out with every step. It's like you're walking around barefoot (with a shoe sole) but with some shoe surrounding your foot so it doesn't look like you're barefoot. BUT as I've gotten more used to clogs, I will try these again since everyone else seems to love them. As an attorney, I think I could get away wearing these with a pants suit, but definitely not with a skirt. Too clunky.

Good arch support - The shoes are a little small in the toe and I think it will take awhile to break them in, but the arch support is amazing!

Dansko needs to resize! I am a 12 1/2 size in women's shoes, between a medium and a wide width. I ordered the largest size available, 43 (women's size 13). I was very disappointed that they were much too small. The back did slip off my heels, as I expected--as was explained in other reviews and description. But I did think that the 43 (13) should have fit the front of my foot. It was much too snug, to the point of it being uncomfortable. I am returning these and hoped to order a larger size, however, this seems to be the largest available at this point. ALSO, I was a bit disappointed at the workmanship. Part of the outside seams were a bit sloppy--extra leather was showing past where it had been sewn. For the money, I think the seams should be perfect.

Professional Box - These shoes are great for work...I am a part time barista, which of course requires that I be on my feet my entire shift. Since I've been wearing my Danskos, I have not experienced any back pain or even tiredness while at work. They do stretch out some if you are one of those folks with a half size foot, but if you want them to be more loose than not, buy the size up from what you normally do (eg. I wear an 8 1/2 so I bought a 39, but I could have easily gone with the 40, and if your foot is just a little on the wide size keep that in mind as well).

Looks beautiful; feels not as beautiful. I really love the look of this shoe - but I am having a hard time finding a size that fits. I normally wear an 8.5, so I ordered the 39 - way too big... so I got the 38, still a bit too big... but 37 is too small. I am keeping the 38 since these look so cute with casual skirts and jeans, but my feet get sore because of the way they slide around on the bed on the shoe.

Unhappy with the stapling of the shoe -sloppy - Unhappy with the workmanship where the shoe is stapled on to the sole. This is my second pair and the first pair was not as sloppy.

Comfort - Dansko's are very comfortable despite fitting smaller than the average shoe. I actually have to order two sizes larger than my normal shoe size before I found a comfortable fit. Very durable and comfortable shoe.

Dansko Professional Review - Size 35 - If you are not used to this type of shoe you may think that it is too big. Don't make the mistake of attempting to get a snug fit. It will be too short and uncomfortable. The shoe does not fit like a standard shoe. Once you're use to the fit it's fine.

Wearing art on your feet - I love the look of the shoe very much... I can’t wear them without people commenting me. It’s like wearing artwork on your feet... I just wish they felt better... not the best fitting shoe. Ran small get larger size but be prepared to wear heavier socks with them to get them to fit better.
