Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

Love these shoes! I was worried they would look clunky, but they really don't, and are so comfortable and have good support. I was a bit surprised how much height they added, which I didn't necessarily want, but I love them!

Good solid shoes. I don't find them quite as comfortable as everyone says they are. They rubbed my bunions at first, but now they're stretching out. Because the sole is so thick, I find I get a bit wobbly in them. But there's great cushioning and arch support.

The ordering was painless, and delivery, even though I am in a rural area, was overnight. Absolutely outstanding!! The customer service was also outstanding. I had to return and replace the shoes, as due to the European conversion, they were about 1/2 size too small. The replacement arrived overnight as well!! The return was prepaid. Treatment via phone with customer service was something you rarely get. I was treated as if I was one of their most valued customers, and as if I was the only person that mattered during this whole process.

These fit smaller than they are marked for me, but even with my toes all squished they are more comfortable to walk around in than any other shoes I currently own! I can't wait until my return's complete and my correct size is here! I can tell I'm going to be wearing them every day.

Shoe felt true to width and provided good support. Not the best choice for slip-resistance though. I work in a professional kitchen and floors are always getting wet/oily. Although I have not fallen wearing these shoes, my feet have slipped a number of times already. I've decided to find something else with better slip resistance to wear to work.

Awesome shoes. This is the second pair I have bought of this style (just a different color) and I love them. They mold to your feet so the more you wear them, the more comfortable they are.

Bought these for my daughter, a nursing student. Very heavy, but so where others purchased and returned before. She says they hurt where the padding is across the front top. She hasn't said much more.

I had to re-order in a smaller size. (And I usually run a 1/2 size up in some brands). I understand they are supposed to run big but it felt uncomfortable having my heel lift totally up and out of the shoe with each step.

Great comfort - These shoes are great if you have to wear white shoes for nursing and want the best comfort.

Not so comfortable - This looks like the perfect shoe for work. They look great and last a long time, but after an hour wearing them, they are super uncomfortable.

Shoe size - The recommended shoe size was not accurate and I needed one size up. Overall I am quite pleased with the shoe. I was on my feet for 8 hours today and my feet are barely sore.

Not the best shoes for being on your feet - for 12hrs straight. Although my calk muscles does not hurt as much. Great arch support. However, my toes gets too "mushed in" the toe area of the shoes as my feet slides downward as I walk. Wish the back of the shoes would be elasticized that way it would not have to go up and down.

Dansko review - The reason I purchased these shoes was that I have a great deal of trouble with my feet. I am told that I have no fat pad on the bottom of my foot. I find that the shoe does not have enough cushion and that my feet hurt on the bottom after working an 8 hour shift. The arch support is great and seems to have good toe clearance if only they were more cushion in the footbed I would love them more.

I've been wearing Dansko's for 12 years. I discovered them after Baby #1. As a nursing student and CNA in a busy hospital - I wouldn't wear anything other. I tried Crocs but I had shin splints after hour 6. I've had to try on several pairs to find the right one. Never a blister, but my feet have grown a full size since babies. My favorite is my patent red leather - my grown up Dorothy shoes. I recently painted flowers on my white nursing ones - the white shoe is just so UGLY. Love Dansko - love Zappos and the zippy service!

Hate the color love the shoe. I needed a pair of white shoes for nursing school so I looked at Dansko's because I already own 2 pairs in the same style, different color for my job as a waitress. If you have to be on your feet all day, this is the shoe you want. The only unfortunate thing is the white color in this shoe is hideous, but then again almost any white professional shoe looks awful. If I had to choose all over again I would still choose this pair of shoes because of the comfort factor.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! I have very flat feet, and these offer lots of support. They do run narrower and a little smaller than I was expecting.

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.

I wish they fit better - I am new to the health profession. I tried these on at a store and they actually helped my recently banged up knee feel better while walking! I thought I should get them for work. Was thinking about returning them after they felt too small for my feet, but was told they'd stretch by my co-workers. I am thinking of hiring someone else to wear them until they do, because they really hurt my feet. My knees and back love them, but my feet can only tolerate them for short periods of time. A bummer to spend so much and be disappointed :( I usually wear a size 9 and the 40 seems too short for my right foot. 41 was too big. Half sizes would be nice!

Dansko - Very comfortable shoe, the stated Euro sizes with equivalent US sizing slightly off.

I've been a devotee of Dansko clogs for years. I wear the same style, in various colors, in a size 38. I ordered the oiled brown clogs recently in a 38 and never gave a second thought to the fact that they would fit any differently than any of the other Dansko clogs I own. Unfortunately, I was wrong. They were HUGE on me. I know there's always a little heel flop with these clogs, but I could fit three fingers behind my heel inside the shoe and they were still big. Zappos so graciously sent me a size down, size 37. These were super tight! I don't know why there was an inconsistency with the usual sizing, but I was so disappointed that I had to return both pairs and now won't be able to enjoy a pair of oiled brown Dansko clogs.

I vary in shoes between 11½ and 12. So I ordered in the first order 45. The heels slip like they say they should. I can sort of fit a finger behind the heel. My problem is the top. Where it goes across the top of my foot is quite painful. Also I am a big guy at over 245 pounds. If I shift weight to one foot, these feel very hard against my arches. I ordered the next size up and they feel only marginally better. I read some places, they say give them a week to break in. I may for the second pair, but the first pair is getting returned. Other things to note for guys: These are like high heeled shoes. they slip a lot in the heel which is really weird, and when you walk on hard surfaces you go clomp clomp clomp. My posture felt quite straight though, because these throw you a little forward with the 2" lift. As a guy this is odd. I am sure it is quite ordinary for women. Anyhow I am giving them a week I guess, I will put a second review in for larger size after that. I do not doubt women's reviews as a lot of women buy these for nursing. But, guys beware. The craftsman ship is solid. They are very well made. Low ratings based on comfort. And sorry, they are just are just ugly looking like lift shoes. Zappos gets an A+ for fast shipping and return policy. 10/10 for them!

I'm so disappointed! I really wanted to love these shoes. I'm in healthcare so I see lots of people around the hospital in these and I'm starting nights and wanted something more comfortable. Disclaimer: I have hard to fit feet -- size 12 women's and a bit narrow in the heel but a little wide up front. I ordered the size 43 and they just don't seem long enough in the toe box -- my big toes are crushed up against the toe box, but my heel feels like it's going to fall out. And the midfoot is squeezed (maybe that's how they keep your foot from falling out?). Not sure, all I know is it doesn't feel comfortable and they are going back. I'm really kind of sad about it because I don't see other options for what I want -- comfortable shoe that slips on and off (no laces) but is relatively goo-proof and yet professional looking.

I stand on my feet on cement at work and needed a comfortable shoe, but I didn't like this shoe at all; the heel was very loose and much too big, and the front of the shoe was way too small and tight. Not a good choice for ladies with slender feet; if I would have sized up, the shoes wouldn't have stayed on my feet at all; it was already so loose in the heel that it was like a flip-flop when I walked, and not at all comfortable in the tiny toe-box.
