Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I am a teacher and have to wear comfortable shoes. I think these shoes are wonderful! They look great and fit better than I imagined. The coloring is really nice as well. I know these shoes will last me for years!

Very comfortable shoes! I work10 hour shifts and it's been difficult finding comfortable shoes while working but now I have.

This is my third pair of Dansko clogs. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day. Ever since I started wearing Dansko's, I have had no back or foot pain. I love the shiny black color of these as well.

I love these shoes. The morning I received them, I wore them on a school field trip, expecting blisters. I was so surprised that at the end of a busy day, not only were my feet blister free, but they weren't in pain. I wear them everywhere these days!

So comfortable. I walk about 4-5 miles per day in my building each day and it SAVES my feet. Some of the Dansko finishes scratch easily, but this particular model wears very well.

Very comfortable and great shoes for dressing up AND dressing down. I've worn them around the campfire and to work; the rustic leather lends itself well to any situation.

I bought these clogs for my step dad, since he wanted a pair of shoes he didn't have to tie but comfortable and stylish. What can I say, he loves them. He says they're comfy and he loves the look. Very happy step dad.

Good for my feet per my Podiatrist. My second pair and they don't bother my achilles tendonitis. Both pair seem tight around my mid-foot and don't stretch out with time. My friends patent leather pair seems looser.

Very comfortable and looks pretty good for a clog-y type of shoe. I have extremely high arches and my feet have started bothering me. I had a pair of Zappos before and wasn't thrilled with the look but the dark suede made these shoes look good, especially with jeans. They make my feet feel great. I bought my regular size, 7 and they seem to fit well, my foot doesn't come out of the back but it isn't tight either. I was concerned about the size because other recommended a larger size. Overall happy with purchase.

I love these shoes. I have had them for years. I bought burgundy ones. They are actually the most comfortable shoes I own. They have a leather orthotic inside of them and they are perfect for my high arches. I like that they add a little bit of height too. The only thing I would say to be careful when you walk in them. I have turned my ankles in them a few times. If I could grade these shoes though, I would give them an A.

Great shoes for a long 12 hour shift of being on my feet. This is my second pair and they never disappoint!

I love these shoes. I'm the type of person that prefers my tennis shoes to any other but I find myself wearing these as much as possible.

I have worn Dankso professionals for about ten years and have just started on my third pair. They are unbelievably comfortable and last for years with almost daily wear. A funny story illustrates how I had to break in my last pair. I wore my older pair to health club. I was in a hurry and left them by the coat rack during a spin class. When I came out they were gone, stolen! I've left leather coats and other items there and they were never taken, which shows you how much people love those Danskos! The stolen pair was at least three or four years old, and although they looked good, they were wearing down a little in the heels so I had another pair ready to go, ordered from Zappos. I was forced to break in the new pair. I've never had a big break in period with Danskos and maybe a few days. But this pair took me about two or three weeks to get them really comfortable. If you have trouble breaking them in, just wear them half a day for a week or so and then take a day or two off if needed, and go back to them. Fortunately now mine seem to be just about as comfortable as the stolen pair and I will wear them for years. I'll be careful to lock them up at the health club!

My fifth pair of Danskos! I wear them every day. Pair them up with Smartwool socks = Heaven!

I love them and want to wear them all the time, but they're really just for work. These shoes have so much arch support, my arch had to be broken in by the shoes. Now I'm used to them and they're like clouds on my feet. When I wear these shoes all day at work and then wear different shoes, my whole body seems to yell at me, saying, "Ow." That's how awesome these shoes are. They make my whole body happy.

Always a favorite, but nobody stocks my wide size so always ordered big. Thanks Zappos! My son and I get all our shoes for our EEEE feet from you!

I just bought these shoes in the Antique Oiled Brown. I picked the color because I am a nurse on my feet all day and the color is dark and has a natural looking scuff to them already. The worn look appealed to me due to the fact that most of the time, I don't want to know what lands on my shoes at work. As far as the size, I wear a 7.5 in most Nike sneakers. Sandals and flats I tend to buy in size 7. After trying on multiple pairs of Dansko's from co-workers, I decided on a size 37 (6.5-7). My toes have enough room to wiggle and the back is not riding up on my heel. When I received them in the mail, they seem a bit snug, but after seeing what my co-workers have on, I know that they just need some real breaking in. I have naturally flat feet, so the arch support really makes me stand straighter and helps my posture. They are a bit heavy and I am somewhat nervous for testing them out when running to a code, but they are comfortable and have already made my legs feel better in the small amount of time that I have worn them. Zappos sent them right away and would definitely recommend.

I am a teacher and I bought these in hopes of not having a back ache every day. Well, they are amazing! I'm ordering a pair in every color and style!

Ironically enough, my daughter thinks these uglier than my Crocs. I have to laugh at that since these are overall narrower in effect. I like them very much. Over time, hoping that turns to love. I know that 1.75" is not considered to be very high in the heel, but after years in Crocs and Birkenstocks, I feel noticeably taller in these. These have decent arch support, more than the vast majority of shoes and are comfy enough, but I may be putting my orthotics in as well, because my feet are just that messed up. These answer a real need for me, as my podiatrist explained my plantar fasciitis as been essentially an overuse injury -- from wearing clogs and shoes with no back strap. My feet need the back so they can relax in the shoes. Only thing I wish for would be these coming in a lower heel, while still having the support and bounce in the heel. Might not be possible I realize.

I have plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis in both feet and got these on the recommendation of a podiatrist - they aren't the prettiest or quietest shoes in the world (the flip-flop-like noise when I walk, combined with my heavy footsteps, means you can hear me coming a mile away), but I make it through my 12-hour shifts without being in agony. The only problem is I can't run in them due to the loose heel, but that's a minor drawback. Never again will I wear sneakers to work - I definitely will have to stick with these in the future, and I might even get a pair or two for outside of work.

I have spent years looking for a comfortable, everyday shoe to go with jeans. I have terrible knees and wide feett with a low arch, and these are PERFECT. The sizing is tricky - usually I'm a 10.5 wide, but I had to get the 42 wide in these because they run very short. The top of the right clog dug in for a few days but it loosened up and now they fit great. It does take a few wears to get used to walking in clogs, but once you do they are magic.

I've been thinking about getting a pair of these for years and finally did it when I developed plantar fasciitis. They are great! The cordovan cabrio color is beautiful and goes with everything. I ordered the black cabrio at the same time and they fit completely different -- they are hand made so each pair will give you a different fit. The cordovan ones were a bit snug across the top but I have narrow feet so I kept them and they have broken in nicely. These are a great investment!

Comfort! This is my second pair in this style, they wear exceptionally well. I am on my feet a lot, have plantar fasciitis problems. No tightness across the top, hits my arch beautifully.

I ordered the Dansko Professionals in Black Cabrio Leather. I wear a 7 in casual shoes, and a 7.5 in pumps, and the size 38 fit me perfectly with the requisite pinkie-finger clearance in back. These are nice clogs, and seem well made. Incidentally, the ones I received were stamped "made in Italy" -- in fact all the Black Cabrio Professionals I've seen recently have been made in Italy, not China. I ordered the Danskos along with the Sanita brand Professionals in Black Cabrio, to compare. I prefer the Sanitas -- the Danskos came up further on the foot (toward the leg) than the Sanitas, also I preferred the slightly harder leather of the Sanitas.

I love these shoes. I have had terrible heel and leg pain which is now gone. They were tight to begin with but have conformed to my feet and now are looser. They were worth every penny, I will be buying more of them.
