Comfortable from the moment I put them on. These clogs remind me of the sport clogs Dansko made a few years back. Great shoe.

I was trying to replace some Dansko sport shoes I bought years ago and found out that style is no longer made so they suggested I try this style instead. Overall, I am pretty happy with them, but the arch support is not as good as the previous style. Otherwise, I like them.

LOVE these shoes, but they are tight on the top and I feel they run at least a half size small.
I am normally a 9 and I got 40, and kinda wish I got 41. They fit, but they don't slip on with ease.

The service was great, but I was a little disappointed. The build of the shoe, comfort-wise, is great, but the leather on the toe has already started to wear after wearing them only a couple of times. I think they are great for working, but I wish they were not so expensive because I don't know how long they will last without looking bad.

I absolutely loved the Dansko Kelsey. Because it is built much lower than the usual Danskos, it is nearly impossible to turn your ankle like the higher ones do. The only complaint that I would have would be the soft back of the heel. You can\'t just slip them on. You have to pull the soft backing away from the shoe or else it slips down into the shoe.

Very comfortable even after working double shifts. My only complaint is that they squeak really loud, even after wearing them over a month. I know that shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but it's really annoying.

So disappointing! Got the 42, too short in the toe. Got the 43, it was so sloppy that it fell right off my foot. I really miss the Dansko Calla, now that was an awesome clog! I'm looking for another "sport clog", as if there really is such a thing - and I don't like the Dansko Professional because it is too unstable. These also had a really weird cushioning under the heel, like it was too much.

These shoes were immediately comfortable, no break in period whatsoever. Great arch support with a removable innersole so that you can use your orthotics. If they weren't so comfortable, I would have returned them in a week because the distressed stone version looked like it had been through a war within a week. Beware of this color/style. Otherwise, they are A+ shoes.

I normally love Danskos, but these shoes really hurt my feet. They were really tight across the top of my arches, almost felt like they were bruising me. I\'m returning them for another style.

I purchased these Danskos to replace my old, beat up pair of Professionals. I thought that they may be more comfortable because they are more shoe-like and fit on the feet rather than having your heels slip out like the Professionals and also, they are really soft and cushy on the inside. After wearing them a few times, I'm going to go back to the Professionals. The hard soles and hard insole are what keep my feet comfortable, especially for standing 8+ hours a day.

I really love the look of these, but I didn't think they were very comfortable. I like the Merrell better. These seemed a little tight & if I had not returned them I would have ordered a size up.

Terrible footbed - humped up under the tips of the toes, lumpy. 38 hit my toes, 39 too big. Dansko was better before they split with Sanita. Nice looking clog though, without the high sole that makes the regular Danskos turn your ankle.

The length and width of these shoes was right, but I really had to squeeze to get my feet into them. Once I did they were very tight across the top of my arch. I could tell that the insole was perfect - excellent arch support, protection against overpronation, but there just wasn't enough room for my foot. I took the insoles out and then tried again. Then I had no trouble getting shoes on. They were actually a little loose. It's like the insoles are too thick for the shoe. Once the insole is in, there isn't enough room for my foot. But there's no point in having these shoes if I can't use the insole, so they are going back. It's a real shame and a serious design flaw. I know my arches are a little high, but I have never had this kind of problem with a shoe before.

Don't buy! I work in hospital, 12 hour shifts. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I ever had! I am so disappointed with Dansko on these!

I ordered Dansko Kelsey because I had a pair of Danskos in a different model that I wore to death. Who would know a slightly different style would perform so differently? My feet slip forward into the toes of the shoes much more with this style and feel crunched. I won't be buying this style again, ever!

This is a comfortable shoe with good support. I recommend them. I have in fact ordered the Kelsey in black. I sometimes wear a wide shoe but with the Kelsey it is regular width. I also highly recommend doing business with Zappos. They always deliver earlier than predicted and free shipping both ways is wonderful.

As a nurse, I wore the Dansko Professionals for years, until my knees started to hurt. They were comfy but had little shock absorption. The Kelseys are just what I needed. No breaking in period, I wore them a full shift with no problem. I think these are the clogs I have been looking for! Wish they came in more colors...

The Dansko Kelsey rocks! I've had other Danskos in the past, but their hard insole caused pain in my heels and across the balls of my feet. This is not the case with the Kelsey. This shoe has a spongy-firm insole that hasn't caused pain yet (I keep wearing them around the house just in case a return is needed). Also, I have a wide foot and usually take a size 8. I ordered the size 39 in this shoe, and so far, so good. I'm looking forward to these well-made shoes getting me through nursing school and beyond. So happy I found them at Zappos!

These shoes looked nice on and were very comfortable, except for my little problem. Unfortunately, the top edge of the right shoe fit very tight on my right foot. The rolled edge hit the top bone on my foot and hit right on a spot that seemed to pinch a nerve against the bone. After a few hours of wearing them, I felt a very uncomfortable tingling/numb sensation. A couple of days later I tried to put them again but was unable to wear them because it hit that same area which was now somewhat tender. If I recall correctly, I think the same thing happened with the Dansko Sienna shoes I tried a couple years ago - they hit that same nerve area on the top of my foot, pressed it against the bone and caused the same tingling/numb sensation. I own and really love the Dansko Jocelyn and several sandals which don't hit and pinch that same area. They are all extremely comfortable. I just wish Dansko made a shoe in the Golden Gate or Sausalito line that was less chunky and more refined looking for work, but still had that platform bottom for height. Like the old "Megan" style shoe. Maybe with a little Patent Leather mixed in. If you can find a Dansko that fits you well, and there are many, I think Danskos rock.

I have been wearing Dansko\'s for years and love them, but this shoe was very uncomfortable. The arch support was much less than I would expect from Dansko, and my foot kept slipping around inside the shoe. Very surprising as my feet are a little wider than a medium width. Back they go!

This is a great shoe; very comfortable and I think it looks great. It kind of has that "well loved" look even before you put them on, but I got the distressed leather version. They are more flexible than most Danskos, but still supportive. I like the soles because they are not slick and they're quiet on hard floors. I had to order 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear as it seemed they did run small. The 1/2 size larger seems a little large so I just wear thick socks.

These are really cute shoes. But, I think the sizing is a little off. The size 9 was so small that I could not get my foot in. The 9.5 is huge. I'm not happy with the stone color finish either. My shoes have looked 10 years old, from the first day I got them.

I love my Dansko clog (Sonja style) - but this model (Kelsey) was very tight over the instep (even with no socks), and I ended up returning it. I don't want to go up a size as the rest of the fit was good. I'm going to try some other models to find a better fit. Was very comfy otherwise.

Bought the Kelsey as my first Dansko, after hearing so many good things about the brand. Unfortunately, the Kelsey was comfortable on only one foot due to my bunion. When I took the shoes off my bunion was red and I knew that if I walked long distances (which is what the shoe was intended for), it would be a problem. Swapped out with the Dansko Professional and am not having a problem.

I have had Danskos forever. These 38s were smaller than 37s! Toes were squished.
