These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. After wearing them for 8 hours at work I dont have to rush home and take them off. They are attractive and durable. I highly recommend them to anyone who is on their feet for any length of time.

Dansko Professional -
I work at two different retail locations. I'm on my feet the whole day. I realize the importance of having a better quality shoe due do getting older and keeping my legs and feet looking more attractive. This shoe is awesome and I will buy more and tell everyone I know about them and how wonderful Zappos is.

Beautiful brown color, but I thought it would look more different than it does. Too similar to two others I already have and since Dansko makes few colors in narrow, this one will go back.

Great shoes! Love them so much. My feet never hurt now when I stand at work all day. I was worried they wouldn't fit because a lot of people were having trouble with sizing, but mine fit perfect. I'm usually an 8.5 - 9 and the 39 narrow fit great. I have extremely narrow feet, but like I said these are perfect. Leather is good quality and a lovely color for fall. They are stylish too which is something I am always looking for in a shoe. The only thing I would change is that I wish the platform was real wood instead of laminate, but overall it wasn't a deal breaker. I think they will look beautiful as they age too.

Slide & Go -
Ease of use is the name of the game for this clog. It's my second pair--hard to find them in narrow widths. I like this one because of the lighter sole; it works well with khaki pants. I usually wear Birkenstocks as house shoes (they are very lightweight), so it does take a while to get used to the Dansko as it is a much heavier shoe. But it sure gives support to the arch. Dansko: Please make some of your more fun & fashionable colors/fabrics in narrow sizes too. I don't want to wear basic brown & black all my life. Definitely size up in this. I wear a 10 and need the 42 so my toes don't touch the end.

Love em!
I have smallish, narrow feet - it seems nobody wants to make trendy, comfortable shoes for me! But bless Dansko; they made this one in one color for folks like me. The day they arrived I took them on a trip - for 4 days I wore only them and loved every minute of wearing them! One shoe was a bit narrower than the other - I may still have it stretched a tiny bit. I ordered them at bedtime and had them by dinner the next day - and I live in the country in Wa state. Wow!

Narrow Means Narrow!!
While this shoe has all the qualities that make Dansko shoes wonderful, they are narrow, so I would suggest ordering a size up from what you normally wear in the regular width otherwise your feet will feel pinched after a long day spent walking.

Awesome for work -
I got these shoes only because my boss raved about them. They're non-slip, water resistant, and look so cute. The only problem is - that I find - is that I need to wear socks. The front area tends to run a little narrow, so I did get a blister the first time I wore them. But I do wear them when I bartend, and feel great even after 9 hours of standing. I highly recommend.

Great Restaurant shoes -
These shoes are listed as non-slip but working At Chili’s with the oily floors I slip sometimes if not careful. Great comfort amazing arch support a little too much for my liking. I am a 7 but I ordered an 8 in this style with the back.

Dansko Professional -
Great shoe but not meant for uneven surfaces as there's no ankle support. The upper part may feel a bit tight across your foot. The finish is easy to keep clean so that's great.

Painful top of my right foot -
I do not like the look of the shoes, but my first priority for shoes at work is to keep my feet comfortable no matter what. Therefore, a pair of Dansko Professional were purchased based on recommendation from coworkers: "They are very comfortable and last long." The look of shoes is better than I thought when they were worn with work uniform. Arch supports and the quality of the shoes are great. But the serious problem that I have with the shoes is that the top of my right foot is hitting the shoe. That causes not only pain and redness on that hitting area of the right foot but also numbness on foot and leg by cutting off foot circulation. My shoe size is 6 1/2 C. When I tried them on at store, size 38 was too large for me and size 37 was comfortable. But after a couple of days later, the problem began with size 37. At first, I thought it was because of the new shoes. But it is getting worse by passing time. I am not sure whether the right shoe is defective or my right foot arch is too high for the shoes. I do not think that I can keep on wearing the shoes after several weeks.

I have a very high arch.. and the shoe comes up too high on my foot therefore hitting and cutting into the top of my foot.. My co workers love the shoe and swear by it. If you have a high arch try it on first and walk around..

Dansko Professional-
This shoe needs some time to get used to. After a couple of weeks, they get really comfortable. My biggest beef with these shoes is that they are larger than expected. I wear a size 5 women's which is a 35 for these Danskos, but they still feel really loose. The arch support also needs some getting used to. My feet ached the first few days. Overall, if you work on your feet all day, this is a good shoe to have.

Not the most comfortable shoe in the beginning, but once broken in they are a great pair of shoes.

I haven't bought a pair of Dansko shoes that I didn't like and these didn't let me down either.

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.

Dansko Professional Shoes -
I wear size 10. Shoe states 43 is equivalent to size 12. Still feels tight. Sizing very unpredictable.

Dansko Professional -
I have heard fabulous things about this shoe. However, they are not comfortable for me. They are too tight across the top of my foot and make indentations soon after standing for an hour or two. I am hoping they will eventually stretch enough to be comfortable because I paid a lot of money for them and they are really cute. Make my size 11 foot look small!

These shoes came highly recommended by my co-workers but I'm not that happy with them. They are a very hard walk...no cushion at all. I've turned my ankle several times in them and luckily have not broken it yet. Seem to be highly durable but not worth the money in terms of comfort/safety.

"Please take them off!"
I was truly bummed to find out that, contrary to what I had read, these do not stretch out very well. I even tried taking them to a store to have them stretched for me. Little improvement. The tops of my feet beg me to remove the shoes after just 2-4 hours, not to mention my toes and sides of my feet. My back and knees feel great while I wear them, but my feet feel like they are going to fall off. I start getting clumsy in them as my feet rebel against having them on.
These are way too expensive to take a chance, in my opinion. If you try them on at a store, ask for a brand new pair so you won't be trying on stretched out ones. Also, mine yellowed very quickly. I know not all of them do that, but mine did. Hopefully, I can try to give them to some young college student, willing to wait the months it seems to take to have them fit better.

I don't understand the hype -
I am a medical student, and everyone was raving about the comfort of Dansko shoes on those long call days, running around the hospital for 30 hours straight. These were the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn! I even wore them with socks, which is what had been recommended to me for additional comfort. The shoe is sooo stiff; my foot slipped forward with every step, crushing my poor toes into the hard toe box. I suppose the support was pretty good, but my toes were throbbing in pain after a few hours. Were these inspired by wooden clogs?

Not Comfortable -
These shoes have no cushion. They are very, very hard on your feet. I actually can not wear them anymore because of it. They also run very, very small.

Sized too small -
The metric size and the American shoe size does not match. Order one size larger than American size- example woman's size 11 order a 42.

A Disappointment -
After all the raves about how comfortable these shoes are, I was sorely disappointed. They are extremely uncomfortable if I wear them for more than a couple of hours at a time, even though I feel that I have the right size. Anyway, I'm just going to get rid of them and buy some Birkenstocks.

Sharp-looking shoes with great arch support, but ridiculously wide. I can't even believe they call this a narrow. It's not even remotely narrow. Also, it felt longer than I would have expected, but the length may have been fine if the width had been truer.
