These are really cute and true to size. They are comfy and so summery. Love them! I have a foot problem and have to take the insole out and use an otrthotic so I can't really say much about the support.

Most comfortable work shoes I have ever worn. I have worn only Dansko to work (restaurant) for years and these have been my favorite so far. They are also very cute and I get compliments. I have an all black pair and a blue and white pair. I just wish the white didn't scuff so easily but I just wipe it off and they are like new. I'll be sad if these go away.

I am on my feet all day long and these shoes are very comfortable. My daily foot pain is already improving. It is very important to break them in before you wear them all day long.

I love Dansko professionals, and normally would not try these, they were on sale so I figured I'd try. I wear a 37 in the professional and my regular shoe size is a 7.5. When I tried several times the 38 as Dansko recommends, they were too sloppy and heavy. All the ones I have in 37 work great for me. I have four pair of them. When I ordered these, I ordered the 38 because of reviews, and I am glad I did, on my left foot I had to add a heel insert because it was just a bit too sloppy in the heel, the right fits just fine. I can't wait for summer so I can wear them...I also wanted the sand but Zappos is out of them in my size.

I wrote a comment about the size 41's that I had pruchased and how I was disappointed that they rubbed my bunion. I returned them and I purchased a size 42/size 10in the Navy and Sand. They fit and don't rub my bunion like the 41's. They have a little more foot room and a little more slip in the heel, but they are still very comfortable. I just had to have them. I had some white shoes about 20 years ago which were similar and I loved them and wore them everywhere on vacation. I've bought the volley, as well, but I wear them in a 41/size 10 and I have a wide foot. I wear them everywhere. Love both the valerie and volley. I've even purchased the volley in the hopsack and can't wait to get them.

I have severe arthritis in my back that has compressed the nerve to my foot. This causes disabling pain in my back and foot. I have found that wearing the Dansko shoes corrects my posture enough to release the pressure and relieve the pain. Sizes run a bit larger in the canvas shoes than in the leather, I just wear heavier socks with them.

Not only are these cute as can be, they are comfortable! I've been looking for a pair of shoes for a specific purpose with very little luck - until I found these!

It was first time ordering from Zappos.com & I was really surprised by how quickly I received the shoes. I work as a RN/ Lactation Consultant, therefore, I'm on my feet a lot & these shoes are very comfortable for the whole shift. I didn't have aching feet, but there is a small "breaking in" period with these shoes.

I love these shoes! I have to do lots of standing on a concrete floor for work and my feet don't hurt when I wear these. Plus, they are cute. I always get lots of compliments when I wear them.

Interestingly, these shoes do run a hair bigger than other Danskos I have purchased, which I love because I can wear cute anklets with them. I get compliments on them every time I wear them, and, speaking as a hairstylist who is on her feet all day, they are unparalleled for arch support and general comfort.

I like 'em! Comfortable, casual, a little different than other Dansko shoes I own (and I own too many!). They are suitable, because of the style, to wear with "skinny" leg pants. I get compliments on the shoes every time I wear them.

I bought my first pair with blue floral pattern for fun, but then found I was wearing them at every opportunity I could find. They are so comfortable. I wear them to work. I teach high school science and am constantly moving on hard, concrete floors. I then bought a pair in white and now in black. They clean up beautifully too. Love them!

These shoes saved my job. I worked on my feet, and Reeboks and Nikes lasted me maybe two months. I would come home at the end of the day with my feet screaming to the point where going up and down stairs made me want to cry. I bought these after reading about them and coming online. I was luckily able to try them on in a local store and found my size (37) so I did not have to guess. I bought one at the store and two more at Zappos. I could tell the difference when I tried them on. My feet were hurting, and they hurt less during the fitting. It took two days for me to notice a difference. I had some initial rubbing issues, across the strap and at the heel. They seemed to be specific shoe issues, so I switched the pairs around. I even went back to my sneakers once (big mistake as my feet hurt almost instantly! After a few wearings, the rubbing issues stopped (I guess I broke them in). I also now get stopped all the time by women complimenting my on my shoes. After I had them for a month, I told my mom about them. She went out, tried them on, and also bought two pairs. We do not know how we lived before these shoes, and now my sneakers are only for the gym.

These Danskos are so supportive of my flat, overpronating feet. I wear 12N, but due to adjustable straps, they fit well.
I receive many compliments on them and I think the rubber tips make my feet look smaller!
Great job on the smart, comfy, supportive design!

As to style it is just right for teaching where I'm up on my feet all day. My only problem is I have a high arch and it pinches a little on top just behind my big toe. I'm hoping it will stretch out. I enjoy their look and colors!

I bought them for my 16 year old granddaughter, and my daughter tried them on and absolutely loved them. She said her feet felt very happy!

Very comfortable fit. I wear these to do travel and walking they are so comfortable. I wear a 7.5 and ordered a size 38 and it fits perfectly. The width of the shoe is nice cause your feet are not crunched inside. I only wish they had a dark brown offering in this style.

Wow....love these shoes. As a nurse I've always worn Dansko's but as I get older my feet want some cushioning inside the shoe. These fit perfect!! They are soft inside and out and I wish Dansko would make more "soft" clogs. And of course, buying from Zappos make the deal even sweeter - fast shipping and ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS! I love Zappos!

Have ordered shoes on a Monday and received them on Wednesday. Unbelievable delivery! Love this shoe - as well as the 6 other Valerie shoes I have. The comfort is fantastic and I can wear them from morning to night. Purchased 2 pair in the store first, then went online and discovered how much better the prices were! At least I had the correct size when I ordered the other 4 pair. I have gotten so many compliments and always tell them to go to Zappos online, but to get the right size by trying them on in the store first. Since they are European size I can wear a 37 instead of what I usually buy, a size 8. So happy I found these shoes.

While I was on vacation we were having lunch at a restaurant and I saw these shoes on a woman dining there. I thought they were so cute that I had to have them. She told me where she bought them but they were out of my size and I was so disappointed. I found them on Zappos and they sent them by overnight mail and I had them for the rest of our vacation. I loved these shoes so much I went ahead and purchased a second pair in another color. I wear these shoes almost every day. Thank you for continued great service at Zappos.

Great shoes! The best feature for me is the ample wiggle room for my toes. I got the solid black ones as the multicolored ones look a lot like athletic shoes.
