Bought these shoes in brown 4 or more years ago. They are the only shoes I wore since then. I lived in another country where only sandals were worn so my feet width had spread. No shoes were comfortable but these. Then I broke my foot and walked on it 12 days before I found out, only because these shoes were so comfortable. I have tried to buy more, but I never found them until recently. I was so excited, I bought 2 pair, one each color. Then when they came the fit so great and they looked so good that I ordered another pair. Thank you so much Zappos!

I love to shop through Zappos.com. They have a huge selection. I've ordered many times from shoes to handbags. I always choose the free standard shipping and in a few hours after I place my order they upgrade my shipping with no added cost to me. I order on Monday and I have it by Tuesday. Once I had to return an item because I ordered the wrong size and I had no problem and it was done really quick. Thank You. I really recommend Zappos.com

99% of the time I wear Dansko shoes and I just got these pair to replace my old ones. I love them. They offer the consistent quality and craftsmanship I expect from Dansko. Definitely money well spent.

Very nice solid looking and feeling shoes. I had surgery on my large toe and have had trouble finding shoes that are comfortable, stable and nice looking. This shoe fits the bill very nicely. Wore daily while on vacation which included a lot of walking and this shoe gave me the support as well as comfort that I needed.

Twenty-eight years of food service has taken its toll on my feet! Six or seven years ago I purchased my first pair of Jocelyn Dankso's at a local women's clothing and shoe store. I couldn't believe the stability that the wide sole gave me (I have always had weak ankles, and the place I work has a railroad tie flooring, making stability even more crucial!). Most of my co-workers wear the Professional Cabrio (I own a pair of those, too, but feel very unstable on them!). I cannot stress enough how invaluable these shoes have become to me! I will never wear others!

I have been wearing Dansko Jocelyn's for the past six plus years. I wear them all day, almost every day to work and when I travel. They are not the most fashion-forward shoe, but for someone with very wide feet with high arches and a history of plantar fasciitis, they are one of the only dress shoes that I can wear that do not aggravate my feet. And to me comfort is more important than style, I guess. I like this particular footbed of Dankso's. I have tried to wear the Dansko Professional clogs, but the footbed on the Jocelyn provides better support for my foot shape (wide, wide, wide) and is more comfortable for me. They also hold up really well. I alternate with black or brown five days a week and usually buy a new pair of one or the other about every two years. The other brand of shoe that I can wear like this is Keen (particularly the Providence and the Briggs styles). I also love my Croc Caymans and flip-flops for just hanging out!

I really like these shoes. For me, they are great for standing for long periods of time (easy on the back and legs). I like the style, the fit, and the quality of the shoe and I am thinking of getting the same shoe in another color. Definitely order a size up in this shoe or I guarantee you will be sending them back for larger size.Love Zappos customer service! I will be a loyal customer from now on. Thank you Zappos.

This is my favorite shoe! EVER! I have owned 5 pair (so far) of this shoe in black, and worn them until all the "leather" has rubbed off the toes, the soles have no tread, and they’re really ugly - then I buy another pair! I’ve taken these shoes around the world - hiking in Viet Nam or Japan - not the optimal hiking shoe, but you can do it once broken in. This is a good shoe, so it’s stiff and also a clog - order a half-size larger or you’ll have terrible blisters. It’s a vegetarian, no leather, shoe - meaningful for me, also doesn’t smell bad after a long walk across New York City or Tokyo. And at least half the time I wear them, a stranger will ask who makes them and where to buy them > Zappos, of course!

These are the most comfortable shoes ever!
I've had a black pair of these shoes since Dec 05. I have worn them with jeans & dress pants constantly all this time. They have recently started to lose their new shiny finish so I just polish them up. They just recently have a spot that is kind of pulling away from the seam (after wearing almost daily for 3 1/2 years). I chose another pair of Dansko shoes to replace them since I had a gift certificate to use, but they were not as comfortable. So I just ordered another pair of the same Jocelyn shoes. I can wear them anywhere and they are so comfortable. Awesome!

Comfort but not so much style -
I had already purchased the Jocelyn in brown and went and bought a black pair because it is so hard to find shoes which an orthotic will fit into. I have a small (6/Euro 37) wide foot and plantar fasciitis so it is complicated. This shoe works very well. It does have a thick sole so your jeans might look short on you, but other than that, very comfortable, and good for my feet. I am a teacher and on my feet off and on for many hours - so, perfect for me. I only wish Dansko would apply the comfort of this shoe to something more stylish, something with a monk strap or buckle to dress and sassy it up a little. Just because we have foot issues doesn't mean we don't want to look good!

I bought this pair of black Jocelyns because I own a pair of brown ones and they are by far the most comfortable shoes I own. My daughter is a new teacher and she talked me into trying them because they helped her get through the day. I bought a 38 and I usually wear a 7. They feel a little smaller than the brown ones, but that is good because I have to wear 2 pairs of socks even with my orthotics in the brown ones. The black ones are perfect with the Dansko insole. I tried wearing my orthotic but it was a little tight, however I am amazed at how comfortable the Dansko insole is. (I am recovering from plantar fasciitis). They are shinier than the brown ones but I had heard Dansko was using a different finish on these. They can look both dressy and casual. I love these shoes.

I am a RN in Dialysis. This is a great shoe for up and down and walking about the treatment room. Superb comfort and roll action makes moving about effortless.

Love them so far!! I just got them today and so far I think they are great. I usually wear a size 8.5 or 9 so I got a size 8 since I read that they tend to stretch and I'm very happy that I did. They are a bit snug, but I can tell that they are definitely going to stretch as I wear them more. Very comfortable shoes.

Love them!
My mom gave me her used pair in red and I bought the black within a week. They are a bit shiny, but I love them so far. Went on a weekend trip to DC with a lot of walking after only wearing them a couple of times and they were great. I ordered the 39 although could have gotten the 38. I have a bunion so don't like shoes to be snug. These fit great- a little loose with tights but perfect with socks.

Comfortable Shoe -
I've worn this shoe once, and I found it to be comfortable; however, I'll need break in time to stretch out the front and side of the shoe. I had indentations on my foot from the material pressing on it. Other than that, I like the shoe and hope that it works out with time.

Love the shoe, but it felt larger than its size. So had to return it and order down. Nonetheless, I give it 5 stars for look, comfort (despite the size).

I had been having a lot of heel pain. I purchased a new pair of tennis shoes, the type I have worn for years. That did not help relieve my heel pain. One night after my co-workers had listened to me whine all night about my heel pain, someone suggested that I try a pair of Dansko shoes. Being in an area where I have to go quite a few miles to find a good pair of shoes, I went to the aid of Zappos and found the pair I wanted. These shoes have helped relieve 90% of the pain since I have purchased them. I like them so much that I want to purchase another pair in black.

Love these shoes - These shoes are the perfect combo of comfort and style for me. I have wider feet and am very loyal, though slightly bored, with the Dansko Professional clog. Jocelyn is the perfect next step for me. They are a little tight when I first put them on, but completely comfortable all day long once they are on. I just wore them for 13 hours after biking to work. They served me well and look sharp.

Don't Run Small for Me -
I started with the Dansko Dawn, but didn't like the doughy look and opted for the Jocelyn's in Brown. These are my first Danskos and it will probably take a few days to break in. I like them, though they are just a bit big. I am typically a 6-6 1/2 Reg and these size 37's are a tad big in the heel. We will see how they work out.

Happy feet at last -
I love this shoe; it has a little height so my pants do not drag. I walk over 5 miles a day on my job as a manager in a life care community, I need comfort but I can not wear sneakers. I need something a little dressy to wear with pants and these are perfect. I have tried countless shoes with no luck at all. I have a bunion on my foot so these shoes are perfect. I could not be happier for my needs. Zappos is great, I will only buy shoes from them and now some of my friends do to. Amazing customer service, the best of any store I have ever tried.

Love these shoes!
I'm on my feet walking on concrete floors about 85% of the day. My doctor diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis...terrible heel pain. These shoes have helped that tremendously.

My Commuter Shoes For The Past 4 Years -
I love this shoe! It is so comfortable and it was the best investment I have made. I work in Manhattan and walk a lot, I have used these shoes for three years and they are so durable, comfortable, and well made. I highly recommend this shoe. I love Dansko, their shoes have always proven to be well worth the price.

Super Shoes -
Love, love, love them. I am a flight attendant and spend up to 14 hours a day on my feet, couldn't do it without my Danskos. They even look nice with my slacks (don't wear them with my dress). I didn't even have to break them in, no blisters etc... Best shoe ever!! And Zappos is the best site to order from, their customer service is truly outstanding!

Comfortable and smart shoe -
Of all the Dansko shoes I have ordered, this particular shoe is the most comfortable. I can wear with dress pants or casual slacks or jeans. I have plantar fasciitis and this shoe helps tremendously. It is a little hard getting your foot in at first but give it a chance. The shoe will stretch. I am a 6.5 or 7 and I ordered a 37. You can't wear heavy socks underneath just thin ones or trouser socks.

For trekking in the city, nothing beats this shoe -
I have always loved Dansko clogs but learned from a clog store that the clogs are more to support the foot while standing and these soles are to support the foot while walking. This is my second pair with these souls and I love them. I wish city trekking shoes could be sleeker and sexier but I haven't found the shoes that look sexy and really provide support. The Jocelyn looks great/boot like and is amazing on the pavement.
