Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

The shoe is attractive and comfortable to wear. It has good arch support. However it is like a clog more than a shoe. It is stiff and doesn't bend as your foot bends. I wish the initial description had said something about this before I bought it, as this was not what I was looking for at the time.

Dansko Professional - I like the look of them but it took a little time to get used to how they fit. You wear them like a clog, so you foot moves around a bit and the back of the shoe is almost useless. It has great arch support. I found the Golden Gate line by Dansko to be more comfotable than the Stapled Clog.

These shoes solved SO many problems - Where I work, I'm on my feet on slippery floors for up to 11 hours straight, sometimes with only one or two 5 min. breaks. It's been very rough on my feet, so I bought expensive shoes that were supposed to be comfortable, slip-proof, able to hold up, and hold me up, for extended periods of time. None of them worked. I was in pain at work and then I'd get home and be unable to sleep because my feet hurt so badly. These were kind of a last attempt before I went to the doctor to get help. They worked! No more slipping and sliding, no more walking funny, no more pain! And they cost less! My only problem was that I usually wear a size 11, so I bought a 41, but they were too small so I had to exchange them.

Rough start - Initially, this shoe caused pain across the top of my foot, but this has improved since the leather has stretched out. Unlike a lot of those who reviewed this shoe before me, I do not feel it is the most comfortable, but I don't have to go home and soak my feet at the end of the day either.

Awesome for work - I got these shoes only because my boss raved about them. They're non-slip, water resistant, and look so cute. The only problem is - that I find - is that I need to wear socks. The front area tends to run a little narrow, so I did get a blister the first time I wore them. But I do wear them when I bartend, and feel great even after 9 hours of standing. I highly recommend.

Great Restaurant shoes - These shoes are listed as non-slip but working At Chili’s with the oily floors I slip sometimes if not careful. Great comfort amazing arch support a little too much for my liking. I am a 7 but I ordered an 8 in this style with the back.

Dansko Professional - Great shoe but not meant for uneven surfaces as there's no ankle support. The upper part may feel a bit tight across your foot. The finish is easy to keep clean so that's great.

Painful top of my right foot - I do not like the look of the shoes, but my first priority for shoes at work is to keep my feet comfortable no matter what. Therefore, a pair of Dansko Professional were purchased based on recommendation from coworkers: "They are very comfortable and last long." The look of shoes is better than I thought when they were worn with work uniform. Arch supports and the quality of the shoes are great. But the serious problem that I have with the shoes is that the top of my right foot is hitting the shoe. That causes not only pain and redness on that hitting area of the right foot but also numbness on foot and leg by cutting off foot circulation. My shoe size is 6 1/2 C. When I tried them on at store, size 38 was too large for me and size 37 was comfortable. But after a couple of days later, the problem began with size 37. At first, I thought it was because of the new shoes. But it is getting worse by passing time. I am not sure whether the right shoe is defective or my right foot arch is too high for the shoes. I do not think that I can keep on wearing the shoes after several weeks.

I have a very high arch.. and the shoe comes up too high on my foot therefore hitting and cutting into the top of my foot.. My co workers love the shoe and swear by it. If you have a high arch try it on first and walk around..

Dansko Professional- This shoe needs some time to get used to. After a couple of weeks, they get really comfortable. My biggest beef with these shoes is that they are larger than expected. I wear a size 5 women's which is a 35 for these Danskos, but they still feel really loose. The arch support also needs some getting used to. My feet ached the first few days. Overall, if you work on your feet all day, this is a good shoe to have.

Good work shoe - Not the most comfortable shoe in the beginning, but once broken in they are a great pair of shoes.

Perfect Work Shoes - I haven't bought a pair of Dansko shoes that I didn't like and these didn't let me down either.

They took awhile... When I ordered the first time around, I ordered my true international shoe size (women's size 10, so a 40). I could not get my foot in them! I then tried on a friend's at work (same shoe) and realized I had to get a bigger shoe... a size 42, which fit perfectly. These shoes are not meant to fit snuggly, they are a loose shoe, where the heel moves with every step, not form-fitted to your heel. They are fitted in width correctly, and the arch support is FANTASTIC. Once you get the correct fit, they are very comfortable. I am a nurse, on my feet, and they have helped considerably with foot/leg fatigue.

i received these as a birthday gift to myself! unfortunately these had already been opened by another buyer? The box was clearly opened, and the shoes inside had not been properly repacked - so this initially was off putting. But I decided as they didn't look worn; I'd try on...this is not the Dansko's I've grown to love. The heel was WIDE - I did not order a WIDE; but a REGULAR - the size was correct (42) but the heel was wrong; super bummed because I was so looking forward to this shoe. Sent them back; easy return process of course with ZAPPOS - and ordered another pair with my fingers crossed they will be new! and fit!

The leather appears to be in good condition and of good quality but WOW it is one full size larger compared to same shoe style purchased a 2 or 3 years ago in a different color. I ordered the Saddle full grain in 39 and will be returning.

Meh, too hard

Dansko constantly states an euro 42 is a women’s 12. It is not.

Clogs ran smaller than the Dansko open back styles. Arch is in the right place, but it seems like the toe box is shorter. Will have to return. Size up if you are at the upper end of the size range.

After owning these for more than 3 months now, I feel I’ve given them an opportunity to soften and break in and I can absolutely say that these are the most uncomfortable pair of Dansko clogs that I have ever purchased. I am a nurse and have been wearing Danskos at work exclusively for over 10 years. I have probably owned 8 or more pairs of Dansko clogs over the years. This pair seems to be much more narrow in the toe box that my previous clogs, and even after 3+ months break in, they are stiff and uncomfortable after just a few hours on my feet. I am so disappointed by these and will be going back to the XP model next time.

I wanted to love these! Just not as comfy as the XP 2.0!

These clogs were too big. Not sure if I got a pair with faulty sizing but they were so large that I couldn't use them at all. I have been wearing Dansko clogs in 38 for many years and this is the first pair that runs so large. I returned these and got a pair of XP which fit well.

I so want to love these shoes! My old pair of this shoe is my favorite thing to wear for leg and foot comfort. I am taking an extended trip this year that will be largely walking and need some additional shoes for the trip. My 10-12 year-old Dansko Pros are size 40. In most shoes I wear a 9 Wide. I tried these, according to reviews on fit and size, in 39 W (too short), 40 W (swam in them!) and in 40 regular width. None of them fit. All were excessively wide and they don't conform to my foot as the old ones do. The top of the arch is loose and lower on my foot, the heel is more shallow. What's up, Zappos? Will I find the old model at a local retail store? I am SO disappointed!

I have worn Dansko professionals for 15 years with a perfect fit. I ordered these in my regular size but they were too large in the instep. I did not like the color and the toe of one shoe appeared overly distressed.

I thought I would love these, but I find them too firm/heavy to be comfortable. A personal preference thing, the shoes are of good quality. But I feel like I am wearing weights on my feet.

I have very wide feet due to bunions. The left shoe- although "wide" as ordered- wasn't wide enough.
