Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I've heard so many good things about these shoes...I work in a lab and wanted to love these so much. Unfortunately they are so uncomfortable! They don't really bend at all, so my feet are terribly sore at the end of the day, and my feet and legs are really swollen. I've gone back to tennis shoes.

I had purchased my first pair of Dansko shoes about two years ago. I had got the patent leather ones they ended up splitting at bend of the foot. I contacted Dansko they very generously replaced them with a new pair. My second pair the toe has fallen right off. I'm very sad because I really like the way they fit. Unfortunately I won't be buying any more.

The fit of Dansko shoes has apparently changed. The sizing doesn't seem to be consistent and the parameters of the shoe don't seem to be symmetrical when on the foot. This shoe rubbed me in a spot that made them impossible to wear and still get through my 12-14 hour shifts. This is the second pair to have a problem. Looks like I get the tedious task of finding a different brand of shoe for work. That makes me truly not happy.

I have a similar pair of Danskos and was looking to replace them. Checking inside the shoe, I see that my size 42 professionals were made in China in 2010. I love them. I bought another pair immediately after purchasing the original pair. This new shoe looks to be the same shape -- but the toe box is shallower? tighter at any rate. I am returning them and wish that more info were given like that inside the Dansko shoes (serial no, date made, etc). I recommend Danskos to everyone. I may have to rethink that!

Dansko Nubuck bone Professional shoe, bone color only - This was my 5th pair of Dansko stapled clogs. The Nubuck bone was so tight, with no room at all. I had blisters on both feet. I returned them after wearing them one time. I replaced them with the Professional cordovan cabrio. True to size. I wear a size 8 so I order them in size 39 as well as the Dansko Sonja, not a size smaller but the same as the professional. Zappos sent me out a new pair without receiving my return first and did not charge me a second time on my charge card, trusting me to return the bad pair. Fabulous company I will only buy from Zappos from now on. Thank you, Tammy RN

Not for comfort!! These shoes look nice, run small, and kill my feet after I hr of wear. Had a friend try to break them in, she agreed with me. Don’t buy for comfort.

Why so popular? After being encouraged by many co-workers (nurses) I finally tried Danskos. I quickly sent them back, I guess the people I work with don't have chronic foot pain like I do and these were not the answer. They felt hard on my tender toes and felt like I was walking on tile for my tender soles. Only for tough footed nurses, I am not into extra pain.

I don't understand the hype - I am a medical student, and everyone was raving about the comfort of Dansko shoes on those long call days, running around the hospital for 30 hours straight. These were the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn! I even wore them with socks, which is what had been recommended to me for additional comfort. The shoe is sooo stiff; my foot slipped forward with every step, crushing my poor toes into the hard toe box. I suppose the support was pretty good, but my toes were throbbing in pain after a few hours. Were these inspired by wooden clogs?

Not Comfortable - These shoes have no cushion. They are very, very hard on your feet. I actually can not wear them anymore because of it. They also run very, very small.

Sized too small - The metric size and the American shoe size does not match. Order one size larger than American size- example woman's size 11 order a 42.

A Disappointment - After all the raves about how comfortable these shoes are, I was sorely disappointed. They are extremely uncomfortable if I wear them for more than a couple of hours at a time, even though I feel that I have the right size. Anyway, I'm just going to get rid of them and buy some Birkenstocks.

I usually wear size EU41 in dansko. But the 41 were huge. Very wide and long. So i ordered EU40 and it hits the front of my feet. The sizing on these dansko's are very off.

I wanted to love these clogs because I've been searching for a pair of clogs like this for a long time. However, they run HUGE. I am always a size 8 or 38 in shoes and these run at least a full size too big if not more and they're too wide. The size 38 fit more like a women's US size 9.5 or 10 at least. While the quality, style, and comfort is great I've never had an issue with a pair of shoes being so comically oversized so these are getting returned. I will try a closed-back clog in another brand with more consistent sizing.

Beautiful upon arrival but with only wearing 16 hrs a week the glitter largely fell off in areas within just a month

I have been an active supporter of Dansko for many years and have had several pairs of these shoes. The particular pair I received was WAY too big. I was hoping to try another in my size as I know they can sometimes vary from pair to pair, but unfortunately, my size was no longer available.

They never broke in. Been wearing danskos for work about 15 years now. These were impossible to wear to work a full shift in

Bad arch support

The shoe colors didn't match. One was colorful and the other plain. Other than that loved them.

I had multiple pair of Danskos and this one is the most uncomfortable Dansko I have ever owned. The shoes are extremely rigid and painful after wearing for a while.

I am going to have to get the width stretched by the toe box....rubs the side of my foot by my big toe

I normally take a 37 Dansko clog. I don't understand why it was so big; I felt like a little kid wearing Mommy's shoes. The labeling was correct, so I can't explain it.

I couldn't tell if this was a wide 38 on a 39 last because the box and sole were both marked 39 with no indication of width. If it was a 39 wide, it wasn't what I ordered, and if it was a 38 wide, it was difficult to understand. And either way, the fit was not what I was looking for; these were very loose on my wide forefoot foot.

I love the fit and comfort but it looks like they are 2 different shoes- photos attached.

I ordered a size 6 or 36 and received a size 9 or 39????????????

I really hate to make a negative comment but these shoes were a really bad fit. My big toe bumped the front of the shoe and the heel was very loose and slipped up and down when I walked. They were also very stiff. I was very surprised.
