If you are looking for a great shoe you can wear all day and your feet don't hurt at the end of the day then dansko is your brand. I love dansko shoes and have worn them for the past 12 years! I wouldn't think about any other shoes to wear that I would have to walk for 8 hours straight and not be bothered with foot/leg fatigue.

These are a staple in my work wardrobe. I have purchased several pairs over the years and highly recommend them. They are supposed to fit a little loose, so do not be worried about that. They are the only shoes that do not make my feet sore after long emergency shifts.

I was forced to find another shoes to wear to work after my final pair of Dansko "Janika" shoes finally died. I am a pharmacist do I do a lot of standing and walking during my work day. I also have flat feet which makes finding shoes that are comfortable a challenge. These clogs fit 'loosely' to me - but that is how they are supposed to fit. I wear mine with socks. I was a 38 in all of my other Dansko shoes and ordered the same size in these - I think 37 would have been too small. I was nervous about how my feet would feel after wearing these - I am not able to wear my orthotics in this shoe. I love the way my feet feel when I stand in them. My ankles feel supported and I do not have knee or foot pain at the end of the day. I do not miss my orthotics - and that is saying a lot since I have had to wear them since the age of 5. The toe box was just fine for me - I have an average width foot. The only downside to these is that I can't 'run' in them. That is okay since they are great for walking. I am pleased with my purchase. I will certainly be buying more pairs in the future.

I love Danskos, but this was my first pair of the Dansko Professional. I made sure to read many reviews before purchasing, but was still a bit hesitant about how the Professional would compare to my pair that I've had for many years. I ordered the same size as my original pair. They arrived very quickly (thanks Zappos!) and when I put them on they fit as though they were made for my feet specifically. When I walked in them, although they felt like they needed a little wear to be broken in, they were so comfortable. I actually prefer to wear them without socks, but with socks they are just as comfortable. I especially like these because of their sturdiness; I am on my feet, kneeling down, gardening, stepping in yuck, etc. all the time. They are much more tolerant to this type of lifestyle and so easy to clean (if needed). I cannot wait to continue to wear these and have a shoe that takes care of my feet, and is easy to maintain.

I love this shoe but unfortunately my instep is so high it's still too tight even though I ordered a half size too big. If I could get a...5 1/2 EE...would have been great.

Nurses these shoes are for you! I had the XP before this pair and I like these more! I ordered a size 40, I am a 9-10 in running shoes and they fit well! Based on my experience if you have a very high arch you may want to up size so the foot strap is comfortable across the top! Break in period is a little brutal so keep wearing! They remind me of the support you get from Birkenstocks.

I'm a new nurse and I bought these recently. They are well made. I've had them for a couple weeks and I'm still trying to get used to them. It seems to be taking some time to get that "perfect" fit, but I'm not giving up!

This is my tenth or eleventh pair of Dansko clogs. I end up wearing them out, then I use as my garden shoes. They come in many practical colors. And, they extend my height approximately two inches to a whopping 5'9". They look good with comfortable skirts, too. I love them!

These are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever owned. I highly recommend them for any job that requires you be on your feet a lot,also for travel. They are the perfect tourist shoes - supportive enough for a long day of sightseeing and yet dressy enough that you could wear them into any restaurant or museum and feel perfectly well dressed. I myself own three pairs two black one brown.

I absolutely love these shoes! I am a long time Dansko fan, and these probably are my favorite. As to whether they run small or not; They do fit a little tighter than my grey prism patent leather clogs but since they are leather, they stretch a little and fit fine in my opinion. I ordered my normal size and am completely happy with the fit. I love the toes, I love the oiled leather and the comfort cannot be beat! I want brown ones now.

I love these Dansko clogs as much as I do my many others. I have never tried the dark blue color and I like them very much. The clogs will go with denim jeans and with winter slacks during the fall and winter.
As for the Dansko clogs, I like that the clogs add a little height as I wear petite sizes.
Great clogs, just like the other Dansko clogs in my closet.

I have been buying from Zappos exclusively for my online shoe purchases for about 10 years. I can't think of a more efficient, customer serving, reliable, etc., company in which I've ever dealt!

This is my sixth pair and I wouldn't change to anything else. I have 2 pairs going at the same time, since I read its good to alternate. Always a perfect fit, my feel are always comfortable and well supported.

I love these shoes! I cannot think of another time I tried on shoes that instantly felt comfortable. I have very problematic feet (wide, high arches, bunions). My son, who did a lot of restaurant work, and my podiatrist recommended Danskos and I'm glad I finally made the investment. Plus, I get many compliments on them -- it's been a long time since anyone called my shoes "cute." I was worried they might be too heavy (for my knees, also problematic) but they are just fine. I wear 10-1/5 women's and the 141 Wide fits just fine, with a little slippage in the back as Dansko recommends. I hope you will be as happy with Danskos as I am. Thank you, Zappos.

Have worn Danskos for 30 years. Love them. This shoe was a little tighter fit than others of same size and style.

I think everyone who works on their feet knows these are THE BEST shoes, esp for those of us who are a little short and need a lift. :) Service was outstanding as always at Zappos!

I have had several pair of Dansko in different styles and the Professional is my favorite. I'm a teacher and am on my feet all day - these are comfortable and wear well.

I walk and stand a lot for work. These shoes are great for that. I had a pair of Timberlands before that felt like walking on clouds, but they were so big they felt like clown shoes after awhile. I'm not walking on clouds, but they look great.

I bought a pair of Dansko Pro XPs last year and I wasn't impressed. They felt hard and heavy and my feet developed blisters. So I returned them. But my coworkers kept insisting that I try them again because they last for years. So I got this style last month and I love it. My right foot is larger than the left, so I had issues with the fit. The right shoe was too tight and my toe kept hitting the front, while my left foot had no problems. It was uncomfortable to walk and work a 12-hour shift. I called customer support and they were so helpful. They sent me a pair of shoes that were a size up and let me return the sizes that didn't work. Now that I have a 39 (for my left foot) and 40 (for my right foot) and they fit comfortably, I love these! I didn't have to go through the "breaking in" period that some of my coworkers had to go through. My feet aren't achy and tired at the end of a shift. And I have great arch support. My back feels better after a shift thanks to these. I'm so glad I gave it a second chance AND it's all thanks to Zappos' wonderful customer service. Thanks!

Until I found this shoe on Zappos, I did not know that this style Dansko came in narrow widths. I had tried a Dansko like this before, but they were always too big in the heel. This one fits perfectly. With an added pad in one for my neuroma they are comfortable. Thanks Zappos! AND again at my door the next day. I am always amazed at the speed of delivery & free returns if something isn't right.

Very loose fit, comfortable, I had trouble keeping it on. Beautiful, well made shoe. Just didn't work for my needs, probably great for nurses and others who are on their feet a lot.

Comfortable. Firm support. Not a lot of flexibility.
The ankle is huge. It takes some getting used to but your ankle will slide in and out every time you step. It doesn't rub on the ankle because the ankle space is so giant.
I think the standard size is wider than average so if you are on the fence of needing a wide or regular, just go with the regular. I felt like the wide was made for someone with an all around large foot as opposed to a person with a wide toe box, which I believe is typically what a wide shoe is supposed to offer.
No break in time. I'm happy with the purchase.

Love Dansko clogs! These are my 4th pair since I first started wearing them 10 years ago. They're great for walking and standing. They also provide excellent arch support for people with high arches (like me). It's hard for me to wear heels or any moderately uncomfortable footwear, now. The Danskos have really spoiled my feet!
