Customer Reviews Dansko Professional Oiled

An intergenerational hit! My daughter and I both love these shoes. I have them in two colors. The best feature is the back of the shoe which prevents the hem of your jeans from getting trapped under your heel!

Wood clogs have met their match... Usually wear a 7 or 7 1/2 shoe depending on the manufacturer, as recommended tried a 38 in the Pro Oiled; my feet were swimming in them, with about 1 1/2 inches of space between my heel and the back of the clog. Tried a 37 and found my ideal. Soles are a little hard but that's why they're called clogs! These, my first Danskos, are way more comfy than my wood-soled Mengens from my college days. Waiting for the oiled leather to soften up a bit- a little snug around my bunions. Would like to buy another pair soon- if only they weren't so expensive!

Sue's Dansko Review- I have at least 12 pairs of Dansko shoes. I have talked many of my friends into wearing them. I've even turned my daughter on to them. She and I have never liked the same types of shoes. When I saw that they came in hunter green I had to have them. I love them!!!!!!!!!

Love my Danskos- These are THE BEST shoes if you will be on your feet ALOT. They are not the most comfortable for walking, but they provide incredible back support for standing around. I am a health professional and have stood on hospital rounds for literally hours with no back pain and very little foot pain. I love these shoes so much that I have 4 pairs! Be aware that the shoe fits normally with extra space in the back- that is how they are supposed to fit.

I really like these shoes! I started my student teaching and went home every night with very sore feet. A teacher recommended these shoes to me, so I though I would give them a try. I do not come home with sore achy feet anymore. Although once in awhile the right shoes rubs the top of my foot making it a little uncomfortable.

My Feet Are So Happy- I walk and stand eight to nine hours a day (sometimes more) in a kitchen environment. Even in my off time, I don't like to wear any other shoe because my feet feel so good in these. I have my battered kitchen pair, a snazzy red pair for my off time and I'm thinking about getting a third so I can rotate.

Love these shoes- I have a hard time buying shoes, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, my feet are the worst, I have not worn real shoes in a few years, I tried Dansko, two different styles, and I can wear either pair, without having a lot of pain. I am happy to have found shoes that I can wear and that are nice looking, not granny shoes.

Dansko Clogs- I have a pair of these in black that I have loved and worn hard for 5 years. I bought a pair in brown to add a new color, and they are just as comfortable as my old ones! They are great for people on their feet a lot, good in all sorts of weather, and require no maintenance.

Great... they don't "shine up" though- Agree with the reviewers that this is a wonderfully comfortable shoe. Mine were looking a bit dull and worn out; so, my husband (an Army man) tried to spit shine them. It's impossible- they're not meant to be shiny. Even so, I highly recommend them.

Break-in time REQUIRED- I got my first pair and they felt great upon first slipping them on. All excited about them, I wore them to work. 2 hours into my shift my feet, legs and back hurt like I had already worked 8 or 10. I could NOT understand the hype about these... I hated them and the fact that I thought I made a $118 mistake. I wore them here and there running errands over the next few weeks thinking there’s got to be something I can do to make these work for me during my work shifts. Nearly 2 weeks after receiving them, I tried them again at work... fabulously, they were a dream! Nothing better! No leg, feet or back pain/tightness at all after my work shift... no other shoe does that for me. I’m on my second pair of Dansko’s, which I just ordered a few days ago (awesome Zappos shipping) and yet again, my new shoes are horribly uncomfortable and require a substantial break-in period. I’m looking forward to when these are what I crave. I have a low profile, slightly narrowed-medium width foot and flat feet with a small heel. The pain that these new shoes give me is under my foot, mostly in my arch and across the balls of my feet, it’s terrible. I can’t wait to when these shoes feel like butter like my old ones do. My rating is reflective of my feelings of my older pair.

Wonderful- I love Dansko and Zappos! I tried ordering these same shoes from another online source & after 2 months, they still hadn't shipped my shoes. I had my shoes from Zappos in 2 days!!! This is my 2nd pair of clogs and 5th Dansko shoe (3 sandals). My feet love them as well as my knees and my back. I stand straighter too. At 5'11", my Dansko help me to really stand out in a crowd, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I prefer function over form and these shoes function perfectly. I stepped into them and went off to teach my night class. I had myself sized at a local department store that sells Dansko and they suggested for the clogs to go up a size, so my clogs are 41. My sandals are 40. Both fit great. By going up in size, by foot is able to move freely without my toes getting jammed in the toe box. My favorite shoes!!

They are great! I have found this shoe to be quite comfortable. I am really enjoying them. It took a little while for me to get used to them since I had never worn them, but I love them. I recently sprained my ankle badly, so I needed shoes with really good support. This shoe has proven to give me great support. I only wished that more of the shoes came in the narrow width.

Yet again, Dansko rules- This is my third pair of Dansko clogs and I can't say enough great things about them. If you are on your feet all day, and you can shell out money for a pair of shoes, these will not disappoint. At the end of my work day, I may be tired and hungry, but I never ever have sore feet and or calves. Ever! Highly recommended.

I'll NEVER be without- My Dansko’s are my favorite comfort shoe of all time and I’m on my 5th pair... and that says something, they last and last. I’m a fit ER RN and work 12 hr shifts so having a supportive shoe that keeps my feet, legs and back happy is vital. Nothing compares to Dansko’s professional clog. I have medium width, flat feet, a knee w/multiple ligament reconstructions, rotated and uneven hips and a very shapely spine so needless to say, when I go without my Dansko’s I can tell a difference. At the end of 12 hrs my body may need sleep, but I don’t need to sit down because I’ve been standing all day. I love fashion and can’t live without my stilettos, but these are the only shoe I wear when not in my heels... I even prefer them to going barefoot they feel so great. Running shoes, sandals... all are no comparison for Dansko clogs as far as support and comfort. Not so stylish, but certainly not ugly, these classic looking clogs are still a bit feminine with nice pants or jeans. I’ll NEVER be without.

Fabulous- I have other shoes by Dansko, however, the professional oil looks great with a dress suit for work and weekend casual wear. It is very comfortable and stylish. I definitely will purchase additional colors in Dansko's Professional Oil line (from Zappos.com of course). B. Owens Columbia, Maryland

These are the most comfortable shoes that I own... I have 3 pairs of closed clogs and I just love them... They are more comfortable than sneakers... I highly recommend these clogs, especially if you are on your feet all day long!

Great Shoes- This is actually the second pair of Dansko's Professionals that I have purchased. I love this shoe. I opted to get a size larger because the last time I bought them I remembered them being a little too snug at first (they later stretched out to accommodate my feet), and they didn't have my size available. While my new shoes are a little big, they are still great. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day... these shoes make it easy to do. I highly recommend this shoe if you want comfort.

Worth Every Penny - I am a Flight Attendant and I am on my feet all day. I cannot begin to calculate how much money I have spent on shoes trying to find something that is comfortable and stylish. This is the shoe. I feel like I am wearing slippers to work.

Best Shoes Ever - I had bunion surgery on my feet years back yet I still suffer from pain in my feet even with high quality sneakers. I took a job at a retail establishment and was forced to be on my feet all day long. A friend of mine suggested Danskos and I took her advice. I love them! They are my favorite pair of shoes and I think once you buy your first pair and experience them, you'll be addicted too. I'm now on here purchasing yet another pair ;)

Great shoe! I needed a shoe that worked well with jeans, khakis, casual weekend clothes- this shoe is perfect! I love it, so casual, and so comfortable.

I love these shoes! I have flat feet and normally wear prescription orthotics. But this shoe has such a good arch that I don't need to wear the orthotics with them. A friend has been telling me for years to get these shoes, since I was always complaining about my difficulty finding comfortable shoes that weren't sneakers. I'm glad I finally did. The arch support combined with the cushy sole and roomy toebox make these shoes among the most comfortable I have ever worn.

Be careful! First off let me say that I love my Dansko clogs. I can stand all day and into the night and my feet never hurt. My foot turned to the side in them and broke two bones. Probably not too good for fast walking. I can't wear them until my foot heals so I bought Dansko Folly and I love them.

Dansko Professional Oiled- Feet feel fabulous in these Dansko Professional Oiled! My other pair of clogs is the Dansko Sonja which is too wide for my feet. The Professional Oiled is the perfect width! Being a dentist, wearing these comfortable, lightweight shoes help me to feel a bit more energetic at the end of the day. I would highly recommend these excellent shoes!

Best Ever! The first time I tried on Danskos I was not sure about them, they were unlike any other shoe I had ever tried on before. I always thought that comfort equals soft, cushy footbed. This footbed is not soft, so I didn’t think they would be comfortable, but I was so wrong! These are my favorite pair of shoes... Ever! I liked the gray felt ones so much that I had to get them in brown also, (working on getting many more colors!). They are well worth the investment. I used to only wear shoes when I left the house, but these shoes make my feet feel so good that I wear them all day inside the house, and it’s more comfortable than going barefoot. Bottom line; get a pair (or 4... or 5...).

Tight across top at first- GREAT SUPPORT- I bought this shoe after a foot injury. It never seemed to heal. My doctor told me about these & the importance of shoe support. My arch is really high and the arch support in this is really great. My foot is finally getting better. The shoe was tight across the top for a while but it broke in after a few wears. Love them. Need something a little nicer now...
