I love these shoes - My store has concrete floors and these shoes have saved my back! I also love Zappos service. The overnight delivery is stellar!

I love these shoes. I had tried a pair of Keen clogs (fake Dansko) first which were uncomfortable. This is sort of the reverse (fake Keen) and much more successful. An excellent walking shoe, waterproof and rugged, but with the comfort, support, and style of Dansko. Sorry Keen, I may never go back.

Just ordered these and can tell they will be keepers for a long time!! These are super-sturdy, lots of room in the toe box and look great, but don't have the same problem as the professionals with ankle twisting. Note: the charcoal and the black nubuck are barely distinguishable in color, so I went with the charcoal as it's waterproof. Thanks as always Zappos for great service!!

I love these clogs! I had my Dansko Professionals for 5 years and they are to the point of floppy no support ankle sprains. Not to mention I wore the corners of the sole so they weren't doing their job! The Kelsey's are more stable, more supportive, and safer for people like me with wobbly ankles. They took one hour to break in and fit me perfect and I've been wearing them for a week working all day at the barn and a vet clinic. They're perfect. No blisters and no rubbing

I am a manager at restaurant and on my feet for long hours. The shoes I was wearing previously had insoles in them, but as soon as I got home, I wanted to take them off immediately. The Danskos, I get home and sometimes forget I still have them on. My back no longer hurts all day long and my feet are finally recovering from the blisters my other shoes had created. Highly recommend the Kelsy. I also highly recommend Zappos. Excellent customer service! This particular shoe was back ordered and I called a couple of times concerning the back order and I was always completely satisfied with the response of the customer service rep. I informed the rep how I just was really struggling with my current shoes and that my feet were "killing me" and the rep upgraded my shipping to my relief so that I was able to get the shoes more quickly. Thank you Zappos!!! My feet thank you!!

I have not been able to wear the Dansko Professional clog due to the very high arch, hard footbed and shoe height. But this shoe is fantastic. It has wonderful arch support for those of us with low to no arch, has a foot bed that is supportive, but with some "give" and is a nice height. I plan on getting a pair of Kari's, which are made on the same last, in the very near future. A note on sizing. In all the other shoes I buy I take a size 9, but for Dansko's size 39 is too small. With this brand, size 40 is just right.

Most comfortable shoe ever. True to size. I need additional arch support and don't need the orthotics for these. I walk a lot and these are no too heavy. I need to buy a different color.

Stand up at work much? This is where it gets good. I love these shoes. I have pretty wide feet and was really scared to buy a pair online. Shoes like this often rub my ankles in the wrong place and I don't know it until I have worn them all day. But not these, padding in all the right places around where the leather ends and they stay on great. I have been wearing combat boots with inserts for years, so that was what I was coming from. I work in a kitchen and am on my feet for 8 hours a day and in constant motion. My back feels much better and my step is (a lot) lighter. They are not a stylin' shoe by any means (to me anyway), but they do the job and are not hideous or even embarrassing. Although, my preteen daughter thought they were my new "going out shoes" and was horrified. Once I told her they were only for work, I was allowed to leave the house with her. Thanks Zappos.

I had heard that the Dansko Kelseys were better than other Dansko models for potential ankle rolls, as they had a more stable heel. I ordered them and got them quickly, but sadly, within a few steps I could feel my ankles wanting to roll. I have pretty weak ankles, and have spent lots of money in physical therapy making them stronger, so I sent these back. I loved the leather and the color (Distressed Brown), but they simply aren\'t worth the risk.

These shoes are excellent. I was told by my physical therapist to no longer wear the regular Dansko clogs because of their lack of ankle support. I switched to the Dansko Kelsey instead and it has made a world of difference. These shoes have a slightly lower heel with a side to side support. They are perfect for anyone who needs a little more ankle support. The black leather style is versatile and can be worn to several occasions. Be advised that Dansko shoes are handmade and vary in sizes. If you are looking to order Danskos, order several sizes to determine which one fits you best. As a size 9, I can wear anywhere from a 38-40, even in the same shoe style. No other shoes can beat Dansko in quality. The price is worth it!

Shoe is comfortable. True to size, even though at first I thought it was running small. It's just different from my other Danskos. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the top of the back. I prefer the original design of my other Dansko back. I was concerned I'd get blisters on the back of my heels. So far I haven't. It's the reason I gave it 4 stars- for design. Looks great with jeans.

This was my first pair of Dansko shoes, and they are well worth the investment. I chose the stone color for its versatility with many different wardrobe color choices, and they really do go with most everything. They are so comfortable!

Be careful to get the right size. Danskos should fit bigger than other shoes. I first ordered my reg. size 9 and thought they fit. After wearing them for hours they hurt my feet because the arch didn't hit me in the right spot. I then ordered the 9.5 (41), which at first seems big because your heel slips when you walk, but this is how they are supposed to fit. The front of the shoe comes up so high on the front of your foot that it fits secure even though your heel slips.

Love the shoes and height. A bit tight to get in but once in, it is so very comfortable. Doesn\'t cramp toes. Not sure why my Dansko Kelsey squeaks but Zappos is sending another pair out to try. I\'m hoping replacement will work out. I owned 3 Dansko but this is my favorite.

The cushioning on these shoes is excellent and they were instantly comfortable, no break-in needed. They have a removable insole, which lets me accommodate my high arches with a different insole.

These are incredible! I had to give up all my other Danskos because I had ankle surgery and was told by my ortho surgeon that they are horrible for people with weaker ankles. This newer style is perfect: lower heel, softer heel and just as comfortable. I bought them in the brown and now am back to get the black as well. Zappos is truly the only place to purchase online. Amazing service.

I wore regular Dansko clogs all day every day for 8 years. The one thing I didn\'t like about them was how easy it was to twist my ankle in them. The Dansko Kelseys have everything I love about regular Dansko clogs and a wider, more stable heel. I\'ve been wearing them every day for a few months, and I\'ve never twisted my ankle. I adore them.

These shoes are so comfortable. I am on my feet 10-12 hours a day and these are great. And they are waterproof as well. I have the distressed stone ones and they look great with jeans.

Service was terrific as always & shoes are very comfy. I've developed some "foot issues" in the last year or so & it has been a bit of a nightmare trying to find shoes. Between plantar fasciitis & tendinitis it has been a challenge, but these have solved the problem. Put them on a few weeks ago & haven't taken them off. I only wish they were offered in a different color. Black & the distressed brown are okay, but I'd love to see a really nice high gloss brown or burgundy.

This is a fantastic shoe! Even though I've been a devoted Dansko user for many years as I have knee and back issues, I can't say enough about their new polyurethane sole. I purchased both the Kelsy and clog for a trip to Europe. I walked all day and never felt any leg fatigue. I was completely knee and back pain free. I will certainly be purchasing more of these!

Wonderful if you are looking for a Dansko with a softer "sport" foot bed. Great soft leather with a padded back area around your heel (no blisters). I stand and walk almost all day at work; these have done wonders for my feet (and back).
