This is my second pair in a year! I love them that much and needed a different color. I walk and stand all day in my job, and my feet rarely hurt.

I love my Dansko clogs! They have been comfortable since the first wearing - impressive since I'm on my feet most of the day. I did try tooled leather first - beautiful shoe, but the paint rubbed off really easily. Don't recommend that particular color if you are going to wear to work where they will get scuffed and marked. Great shoe overall, though!

If you're on your feet all day at a job, these will help your feet. Granted your feet will still be tired at the end of the day but not nearly as bad as if you wore other shoes.

I bought these shoes because of their reviews. For the first couple of weeks these shoes are hard, with no cushion. But as I wore them more, it seems like they have molded to my feet. I can stand on my feet all day with comfort. Love them!

You have to be careful with Danskos -- each clog is going to be made and fit slightly differently. This particular pair, the same size as some I tried on in the store, fits more snugly on top and can get pretty uncomfortable by the end of the day. Definitely try them on and walk around your house for a while before, say, throwing them in your bag for a trip. No two pairs will be exactly the same, so don't assume that just because that size fit you in the store, the next pair will feel the same.

These shoes are my first pair of Danskos and I love them! Be sure to "break them in" before wearing them for a full workday; start by wearing them 1-2 hours a workday for the first week, then gradually increase to 3-6 hours the second week. They are really comfortable and help to improve posture. Look fashionable with professional clothes and even look great with jeans! By the way, Zappos.com was the only place that I could find this style/pattern and the shipping was true to date!

Basically most comfortable shoes I've owned. I wish they were a little narrower, but that's a problem for me with almost all shoes. I wear them at home like slippers because the arch support is so good, but clogs are roomy enough that it's a bit like being barefoot. I also like the funky look.

Love this shoe! But you definitely need to go up a size. The opening is tight and small. I normally wear an 11 and ordered the woman's size 11.5-12 and couldn't get my foot in the shoe (felt like one of Cinderella's stepsister!). Ordered the next size up, in a 12.5-13. They fit fine and look/feel great. Zappos has the fastest shipping of anyone and their exchange policy is fantastic. Service is 5 stars.

Pretty comfortable, but the fit takes a little getting used to. My heel pops in and out of the back of the shoe but the back is made so that it doesn\'t rub up against the back of your ankle. That\'s a huge plus for anyone that\'s worn dress flats - it\'s pretty impossible to find a pair of dress shoes that don\'t rub the back of your feet at least on the first wear. \r\n\r\nThe only drawback is that they look weird with nice skirts, so I\'ll have to stick to wearing scrubs and dress slacks. Still seems worth it to me!

I first purchased the size 40 because I'm a size 10; I could barely get the shoe on and when I did, the shoe was extremely tight across the top of my foot. So, I exchanged them for a size 41,(received them literally the next day)and they were a little better fit but still tight on the top of my foot. My husband put a wooden insert in them to stretch them which helped but still not really comfortable. I had to wear them and continue to put the wooden insert in for about a month before they stretched enough that they were actually comfortable. I've come to the realization that the fact that I have a high arch is what caused the pain and mark across my foot. Aside from that, I would recommend these shoes but if you have a high arch, order a size up and the wide width and you should be fine. The problem with returns or exchanges is that you cannot send them back if there is any sign that you've worn them (even indoors when the bottom soles get a little dirty) and sometimes in order to know if they are really comfortable you have to wear them for a while.

Dankso clogs are always reliable and last a long time. This is a back up pair. Zappos shipping is phenomenal! I've ordered over a weekend and received the shipment Monday.

This is one of my favorite shoes, comfortable for standing or walking for long periods and durable. My last pair lasted for years before the heels wore down.

This is my second Dansko pair. I bought two pair of Dansko in a month. I love them, the black pair that I have is a little narrow on the top and it makes my toes sore a little by the end of day. Other than that, I love them, they are very comfortable. My profession is RN and I have to be on my feet pretty much all day and these shoes help me through it. I would recommend to others to try.

So far so good. The fit is great, I have wide feet and bunions and the wide fits just right. I also am recovering from a back (disc) issue and sciatica, and was able to be on my feet in them the other day for several hours without any pain. With some other clogs I've owned, my ankle can sometimes turn out (may just be me and my weak ankles), but so far that has not happened with these. The only negative is that one of the seams inside is rough in one shoe and it cuts into my foot when I don't wear socks (it's fine with socks), but I'm going to try to take them to the shoemaker to see if anything can be done to soften the seam. Otherwise a good shoe overall. I usually do errands & shopping in mule sneakers which are very comfortable, but not so attractive so I wanted to get something a little more attractive as another option. These aren't quite as fashionable as I thought they'd be but are still much more so than the sneakers, so that's why I give them a 4 instead of 5.

At first the shoes felt a little strange because the heel doesn\'t hug your foot. But once I got used to that I thought these shoes were great! Really comfortable as I am on my feet 10-12 hours a day. I wish the tooled leather or the paisley were available in wide width.

I wear about a 9.5 mens shoe and bought these in size 43. They were snug and tight on the top of my foot but I thought they would stretch. They did stretch a little, but not at the padded collar which is where they are tightest. I am a cook and they worked great for long days of walking quickly on slippery surfaces. I work on the line now and do more standing than walking and my feet and knees are killing me. I also noticed there is a big split in the sole after 5 months. The support is great, but there is very little cushion and they seem to be much better for walking than standing. The non-slip sole works pretty well. I suggest ordering a size bigger than you would expect.

Good shoe for standing on your feet all day -
I work in special procedures and my feet were killing me until I got these shoes. Now they feel great. I work on my feet 8 to 12 hours a day, and these shoes are good. They feel like slippers. I wouldn't try running in them, though.

Good product -
These shoes both look good and feel good. I am studying to be a surgical technologist and my feet were constantly hurting. These shoes are great for supporting my arch and they don't come off like I thought they might. My feet still hurt a little, but that probably can't be helped when you're standing in one spot for 8 hours. Also, I got the shoes in 2-3 days! Amazing! Great service.

Comfortable shoe -
I take an 8 1/2. 8 was too small. 9 seems too big. But, I wear them with a thicker sock. Very comfortable.

Pretty cool shoes!
I love these shoes. I'm a nurse and on my feet 12 hours a day so these are very comfortable, and work well for my lifestyle.
The only problem I have is that I have to wear 2 pair of socks. The shoes fit perfect in length (which I ordered one size larger as suggested), but are a little wide. I didn't order a narrow size because my feet are not narrow. So now, I just wear 2 pairs of socks... works just fine.

They took awhile...
When I ordered the first time around, I ordered my true international shoe size (women's size 10, so a 40). I could not get my foot in them! I then tried on a friend's at work (same shoe) and realized I had to get a bigger shoe... a size 42, which fit perfectly. These shoes are not meant to fit snuggly, they are a loose shoe, where the heel moves with every step, not form-fitted to your heel. They are fitted in width correctly, and the arch support is FANTASTIC. Once you get the correct fit, they are very comfortable. I am a nurse, on my feet, and they have helped considerably with foot/leg fatigue.

I purchased these for my husband who is on his feet all day in an operating room. He reports the shoe rubs uncomfortably across the top of his left foot. Also he says shoe has poor lateral support. Would be easy to sprain ankle. This shoe is a disappointment. Would not buy again.

I normally wear 11 1/2. This shoe size is 11/5 to 12...my toes were hitting the front of the shoes. Heel did not fit right in that it was too loose.

These run a little small, so I had to return the 43 regulars and get a 44 wide to make them fit. Once I had a pair that fit well, the shoes were very comfortable. They were comfortable enough to wear all day, and the arch support was great. Unfortunately, the sole is slightly smaller than the upper portion. Combined with the height of the sole, it feels like I am walking on stilts. I constantly had to think about my foot placement when walking, or my foot would slip and I would twist my ankle. I had several people around the hospital tell me that I just needed to get used to the shoes, but after a month of ankle pain, I had to switch back to regular walking shoes. I kept the shoes because they are so comfortable (and because I had already thrown away the shoe box), but I now just use them around the house. I feel that they are just not stable enough to wear at work. The regular width shoes may not have this problem, but the wide is almost too dangerous for regular wear.
