Alas, although tempted to keep them since they indeed relieved my plantar fasciitis foot pain, while trying out, I must return them. On the basis of another reviewer, I ordered up a half-size but size 40 was too roomy, too wide and the shoes did not accommodate my high insteps (I consistently wear an 8.5N).

This was a first. Zappos was recommended by my daughter. Fantastic company to deal with. A great experience. Will definitely continue to do business with them. Thank you Zappos.

Have only had these about 3 weeks. They are comfortable but run a bit big. Size down was too small. I plan to get some shoe pads to make them more snug. I like how they look with pants or jeans. I will know more with time. I have always loved Dansko sandals, so am trying these for first time. I have plantar fasciitis.

I bought these shoes because I work as a teacher and I am on my feel all day. The first few days I had to "work them in", but after that, there was no going back. I wear these shoes almost every day. They were supposed to be my work shoes, but I ended up wearing them everywhere. Shopping, casual dinners, etc. They are SUPER comfortable and them mold to your feet. I LOVE THESE SHOES.

This shoe was recommended to me by a foot doctor as I spend most of my working day on my feet & I have developed some arthritis. The shoes don't look super-stylish but my feet don't hurt after 6-8 hours of running around with children. I love the comfort!

I love these shoes. The shoes cradle my feet when walking fast as I work in a trauma hospital and they let me move fast! I ran marathons and ran races for 30 years and need support for my feet. When uniform vendors come to my hospital, I buy a pair to match my scrubs. I have four pairs in blue, green, red, and black. The red ones make me feel like Dorothy in "The Wizard Of Oz."

I am really pleased with these shoes. I have kind of wide feet, but these shoes actually fit very well, so that was a good thing. They look good, too.

I've had these for about a month, and they have been great whether I just got off a 22 hour airplane-fueled odyssey to a hot location or standing in 3 inches of slushy snow scraping a windshield (or trekking across a semi-cleared parking lot). They will give you a little extra height, but after the first day, I was used to it. Definitely order 1 size larger than you normally wear. If the bridge of your foot is a little rounder than normal or you want to wear thick socks/stockings, order 2 sizes up.

These are awesome shoes! Great for shopping or standing in the kitchen all day. Great arch support without being too much. However, I have very narrow feet and because I wanted them so bad after seeing all the nurses wear them (has t be something they love), I put a very thick Dr. Scholl pad in them and have to where socks in order to keep them on. Do not order a size smaller to compensate because it will hurt if your toes touch the end. Your toes are supposed to be free, as well as the heel. My daughter wears a regular width and she has t wear socks too. So, they must just run very large/wide. Regardless, I will buy a replacement pair when these wear out...if they ever do - tough, durable shoe.

I got these as my Christmas gift. They are snug across the top, but my friend who has had a pair for 10 yrs says that is how they are designed to fit. I wore them around the house all day yesterday and they seem like they are going to work for my feet.

My ex bought these for me in 2008. I have worn these the vast majority of the days, of every season until now (almost 2013). I thought these shoes were so ugly at first, but I just wore them a couple times and after that, became inseparable. If you keep them in good condition, you can wear them with dress slacks or just casual and at work (it does not matter what kind of work you do - office to server). Since they are leather, they stretched out after about a year and keep stretch a couple millimeters every year thereafter.. Now they are loose and quite scuffy. I will keep this pair for life since they will last that long! And I will get a new pair for more formal use. I tell people they are really popular in Europe and they immediately think I am a fashion queen! Tiny downside is they are kind of heavy but I like the workout. I highly recommended them. I am only 26 but for now, these are the best pair of go to shoes that I have ever had! Slip on, slip off is great for my need for efficiency!

I started wearing Dansko clogs based on the recommendation of my orthopedic surgeon ten years ago, because I have had arthritis in one foot. This Professional style is the most comfortable for me. I rarely wear other shoes!

Love them! And Zappos was so easy to deal with. Had to try them on locally but no one had my size, ordered them and they fit perfectly and there was no "break-in" period.

My husband had originally gifted me with the Professional Photo Real Patent with the knitting pattern for two reasons I'm an avid knitter and a huge fan of Danskos (my last pair lasted 12+ years). I had a total knee replacement done on my right knee less than 4-months ago and the Danskos have proven to be a life saver, they support not only my feet and knees but also my whole body, providing much needed relief from my arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have since gone on to buy the Professional in Black Patent and most recently the Ingrid slip-on in Red!

I purchased these for my daughter. These are her second pair and she loves them. She is a teacher and on her feet all day. When she does not where them her feet hurt. She now has two pairs and will wear nothing but these. Shipping was prompt also.

These are great shoes they are so comfortable. I suggest measure your feet and check the size chart and see the conversion from European to US. Great shoes great service even in the middle of nowhere Wyoming .

I'm a size 35 wide and have a very hard time finding shoes that fit. I have tried a regular size 35 they are to narrow and I even tried a size 36 and walked right out of them. Please let me know when the 35 wide are avaliable. I need new shoes badly.

I got these for my boyfriend, who's dealing with a stress fracture in his foot and is awaiting surgery. He loves them! They have a firm, supportive sole which allow him to walk without flexing his foot. I also have my own pair of Dansko clogs and love to use them while on long road trips, as it feels effortless to press the gas pedal. As for style, they transcend fashion trends and are much more contemporary and way less frumpy than most comfort shoes.

Not all Danskos are equal. I learned this when I bought my first pair in a store 9 months ago. I had to try on several different pairs of the same size shoe before I found the one that fit the best. Once I found that though the shoes are awesome for support and comfort. So when I bought these from Zappos (need a brown pair in addition to my black pair) I thought I might have to return the shoes. I was correct, the first pair I ordered the left shoe was a bit tight and the right shoe was way too loose. So I returned them and reordered the same shoe/size and the second pair fit perfectly! I figured if I'm going to spend this much money on shoes I better get the right fit and Zappos is great with their free shipping, super easy and super fast.

I went to the Shoe Shack to find a pair of shoes that were stylish enough but would accommodate my dr. prescribed inserts for my "sneakers". They did not have any but asked if I had tried Danskos. Because they were made for problem feet. I put on a pair and they felt very firm and supportive on my arch. I have plantar fasciitis, or flat feet. Also a bunion. I usually wear a 9 in a New Balance or Nike. I could wear a 36 in the Hand tooled Leather. I went back 2 weeks later and tried on a paint splash motif patent leather in a 38 with a sock. I have trouser socks which are thinner and crew socks which are a little thicker. I bought another pair in a black patent with gray scribble lines in a 38. I now have 3 pair and can hardly stand to wear anything else. I am so proud to have found them.I can wear my dress shoes from the car into the church and back out to the car and change back to my Danskos. I can't say anything bad about them! I do have times when I have stood a long while and my feet get tired, but never do they pain so bad that I have to sit. Love them!

I tend to have a narrow foot and these narrow width Dansko's fit well. Brief break in period needed to allow for stretch of leather. Regular width was too wide.

I love my Dansko Professional shoes. I got them immediately after foot surgery - I will be wearing them for the best foot support.
Just what the doctor ordered!
Thanks Zappos!

This is my 3rd pair of Dansko's and I love them! Having high arches and standing on my feet all day, these are great! They shine up with a dry cloth very nicely.

The classic Dansko Professional rides again - for good reasons. Arch support, looks, comfort, and high quality construction and materials. I feel a little bit dressed up when i slip these on with jeans, and love wearing them with skirts (and legwarmers!) too. I am very happy to finally have a new pair.
