Customer Reviews Dansko Professional Patent

Dansko clogs - These clogs are very comfortable, worth the money. The only problem is that the sizes run a bit small.

What a great shoe - I'm just starting cosmetology school AND have problem feet (plantar warts and bunions!) and the Dansko clogs are just what the podiatrist (literally) ordered. They feel great after standing for long periods of time, despite the fact that I had to order them a half size too large due to the European sizing. I've already ordered another pair!

Nice clogs! The Dansko Prf. Cabrio are very good looking, BUT run very small. I wear a 10 1/2-11 and ordered a 42.It feels like a 10 in any other shoe!I wish they made them true-to-size!

Good Medicine Shoe - Required one full upsize to obtain a good (not great) fit. The length and height molding feels disproportionate, they didn't leave enough height for the length, especially considering the fit of their other shoes. Despite their heavier weight (could be reduced if they took some of the heel height off?), they're comfortable walking around the hospital on 12+ hour shifts. Undeniably attractive (LOVE the blue), receiving many compliments. Overall comfortable.

The Prodigal Clog - I got my fist pair of this model clog 6 or 7 years ago, in what had been an almost lifelong quest for comfortable and supportive shoes that one could wear pounding 5 miles of New York City pavement everyday without feeling fatigued, and that one could wear with both jeans or an everyday dress or skirt. I recommended them to many of my friends who are professional dancers. Ballerinas loved the extra-high instep. Rhythm tappers and flamenco bailaoras raved about the flexible, yet supportive insoles. And everone loved the alternative to tramping around in sneakers, not very sophisticated. Then, after many years of incredible comfort, the Dansko Professional Cabrio began to change, for the worse. The sole, which used to have "sanita" stamped on the bottom now said "dansko." A small change, to be sure. But soon I discovered that I could no longer order a "37" in this style with absolute assuredness that it would fit. One pair was too long. Another pair's instep wasn't built up high enough, and I missed the "hug" I used to get under my arch. The stapling of the leather upper to the rubber sole was not as uniform as on clogs I had bought in previous years. Then, when I noticed some pairs had "made in Portugal" on them, my worst fears of a brand undermining its quality to save in production seemed to have come true. I'd stop in a store, try on a pair, and be disappointed. The heartache lasted a good two years. But my husband, who knows how I loved these clogs, tried again. And lo and behold, the pair I got a few weeks ago fit as perfectly as that very first pair! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't get a "lucky pair," and that Dansko has found or returned to conscientious fabricators. You're comfortable, babe. Don't ever change!

So Cabrio - I am really enjoying the Dansko shoes I purchased from Zappos.com. Also Zappos had the most amazing customer service, and I will definitely shop with them again soon.

Love these shoes. Very different as are all the Naught Monkey shoes I have ordered. These will be so cute for spring and summer. I ordered my normal size and they are a teeny bit short but I fall between a 6 1/2 and 7 in this brand, so I will decide whether to exchange for a 7 when available, but the shoe is gorgeous!!

This shoe doesn't fit me. One of my colleagues has these shoes and they looked cute so I ordered them. They look good, and the toe has plenty of room, but my heel slips right out of it; way too big in the heel. No way I could make it work.

Not very comfortable - I feel for the price, this shoe is not that comfortable. They burn the bottom of my feet when walking any distant.

So cute, especially in red! But the patent leather lacks the flexibility of the other Dansko leathers, making this a bad choice for those of us with high insteps. I tried a couple of different pairs and different sizes before realizing that this shoe just won't work for me.

Cabrio shoe - The shoe is comfortable for standing and walking. I haven't found any other shoe that provides day-long comfort on the job.

Shoe NOT true to size! The shoe looks great, the quality is impeccable -- HOWEVER, it is NOT true to size! I wear a true size 12, and my toes were painfully crammed into the shoe. Order half a size to 1 size up!

Painful shoe - I do love Danskos but this shoe was VERY painful to try and break in. I am a hospital resident and the bunion of my toe wore down the red patent leather in about 3 months! I like the softer leather Dansko clog better than this as it takes the patent leather awhile to loosen.

Loved the look - could'nt stand the pain - I have always loved the look for Dansko's. From the time i saw them in a store or whenever i saw someone else wearing a pair, i always thought to myself that i need to own a pair of these shoes. After all, i keep hearing how wonderful these shoes are!! So i ordered them from none other than my favorite place..Zappos!! These shoes have possibly been the biggest let down ever! The top cuff digs into the top bone of your foot, so much so that once i removed them..i couldnt bear to put them back on because of how much pain they put me in. I was thinking of putting a thicker pair of socks on to cushion this pain, no such luck..my foot and the thick sock just cant fit inside the shoe! With thin socks, you end up with the worst water blisters! Seeing I can't win with this shoe...they will be back on their way to Zappos!!

Not so comfortable after all. After reading the customer comments, I finally came to a decision about the style and size clog which would be best for me. Surprisingly, they are not as comfortable as everyone was saying. My feet were actually hurting after wearing them for a day. I also read to buy clogs a bit larger because your heel is supposed to move up and down in the shoe as you walk. I have a bad ankle and my feet just do not feel stable in them. I ordered a size 11(my everyday shoe is a 10). The clog, even though it is a size 11, does make my foot look smaller. Overall, I thought the Dansko clog would be super comfortable - not so. I definitely think that it needs more cushion.

Dansko Reveiw - Excellent. I am a Dansko fan.

Dansko Cabrio - I love the look of the shoe, and it is comfortable for the most part. Unfortunately, it puts pressure on the bottom of my foot and feels like I am getting a callus from the pressure. I am not sure if I needed another size up, but it is also a size larger then I usually take because they do run small.

Is there a design flaw?? Or is it me?? I had these shoes long enough to fall in love with them but not long enough to adapt to the rough corner in the inside created from the STAPLE that connects the back piece of leather to the front piece of leather. Since when are rough corners and staples comfortable INSIDE of a shoe? The inside of both feet (where my arch hit the shoe) was very tender from the rough edge and the staple rubbing after just a short period of time. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoe, over which I am still grieving. I am optimistic that with ZAPPO'S wonderful selection and service I can find a replacement.

Finish Rubbed off within 2 weeks!! These shoes are extremely comfortable but the cabrio finish on the leather was worn off after just a few wearings. My friends were shocked that they were only 2 weeks old - they look like I've worn them for years! Quite a dissapointment.

so-so - My feets were hurt when I first wear it. I didn't feel any comfortable by wearing this pair shoes

Not comfortable - Hi, I purchased these shoes under the impression that it was the most comfortable shoes in the market for people like me, that works long hours and most of them being on my feet. This was my first and last Dansko shoes. I have worn this type of shoes for about 08 years, different brands that is, and they have always felt great. This time around has been very disappointing to me, if I wear this shoes to work, half way trough my shift I can't barely walk not a good felling, specially when I know I paid decent money for it.

Would not recommend buying this shoe one unless you try it on first. I have bought several Dansko brands in the past and have always worn a 36. So, I bought this and it is way too big, I walk right out of it.

These hurt. I got these to wear at work after many recommendations, and I'm sorry to say they kill my feet. Perhaps they have not yet been broken in, but I don't know if I'll make it. Nice shopping experience though. Sorry.
