Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

WAY more bright red than depicted... Yikes! I thought they would be deeper red like previous style (which was oh so lovely). These are positively electric.

I was very excited to receive my first Dansko's! I tried them on in a store first to confirm what size I truly needed as I know they run differently due to style and European sizing. But even though I wear a size 8 in American size shoes the 8.5-9 were still too tight across the top of the foot. Perhaps I need a wide but I was recently given a barely used pair of Dansko's a size smaller and they fit me perfectly. Disappointed to be returning these.

Wear a size 6.5M in every shoe. Ordered these in a size 37Regular and my feet were swimming in them. Going to reorder a 36 and hopefully they will fit.

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of comfort on these shoes. I would return them if I could. :( I walk over 12k steps a shift.

Sadly, even the narrows aren't narrow enough for my heels. It's great at the toes - that part is wonderful - but my heels don't just slip out, they fly out. There's a full centimeter of extra width at my heels and as a result, I feel completely unsteady in them. I'll try ordering a size smaller but I'm concerned my toes will be crunched in there. *Sigh*

I had my black clogs for 8 years and they just fell apart today!!! I love them !! I do have a very high arch; these are the only shoes that I can wear all day

Living in NYC, you do a lot of walking, up & down subway stairs and for my work, I'm sometimes on my feet for 12-14 hours. So the Dansko completely lived up to my expectations of the shoe from a comfort & arch support standpoint. My only disappointment was the front, top edge of the opening started to fray after about a year, which perhaps, is a long time for some shoes, but considering the rest of the shoe was perfectly fine, I was sad to dispose of them due to this issue. I tried getting them repaired, but did not work. I will try the Sanita brand next.

The shoes take a couple of hours getting used to then they feel like they belong on your feet forever. Comfortable support, strong feel and ease of wear. I am glad I followed my daughter's suggestion based on her many years of wearing this type of shoe from Dansko.

Excited to receive my order. Delivery was a major pain/cluster. Not Zappos fault, but still makes me think twice. Clogs seem comfy, but a lot looser/bigger than I imagined the fit would be - regular size. Glad I didn't get the wide. I do have small feet, but the sizing said 4.5/5.

These are very comfortable. My back was hurting working on concrete floors. I also never knew my foot was so narrow.

I ordered these for the first time for work and I love them! Theyre a bit heavy and I wish they could have come 1/2 a size smaller since I wear an 8.5 I ordered the 39. However, You have to go with the size 38 and I was afraid they might be too snug. Overall, Im content with the shoes and not to mention I got them in 3 days! :D

I needed a shoe with a platform to balance my right foot with a walking boot on my left foot. This shoe fit the bill, but only after I exchanged it for a larger size. My right foot is an 11N, and I could not wear the 42 at all. The 43 is just large enough, but when I get out of the boot, the 43 will be too small for my 11.5N left foot. I love the arch support, and while the shoe felt very hard at first, I find it's quite comfortable, especially as my right foot takes a beating walking with the boot. I've been wearing the shoe for all of my waking hours for a week now, and I am very happy. I just wish the fun colors came in the 43!

I wear a 7 1/2-8 depending on the shoe, the recommendations for this shoe was to order up so I went with the 38. My toes were right at the front of the shoe but figured with a little wear they would break in but because of the hard top they don't budge and my big toe was hitting the front when I would walk and it was taking the polish off my nails. Decided to suck it up and order a size 39 which does fit much better.

I had to buy a half size larger - I usually wear an 8N, and I had to order a 39N. I ended up returning these clogs because the arch support was too extreme for me. I bought them because I am suffering from plantar fasciitis and they were recommended by my physician and by friends who said clogs helped them recover faster. I ended up with Dansko Lori and Dansko Tenley, which have slightly less arch support, and feel wonderful.

I've wanted a pair of Dansko clogs as long as I can remember. I was a private cook for 10 years, which would have been the perfect time to buy a pair, but I wanted to save money so I didn't buy them. I finally bought them last month because I've suddenly been struggling with plantar fasciitis and it is really not fun. So, after seeing these shoes as a suggestion for healing or at least dealing with PF, I decided to finally give them a try. What I learned is a little mixed -- First of all, they are truly gorgeous! I've always loved the look and I still love the look, they're wonderful. Regarding fit, definitely buy them a tiny bit larger than you think you need. They're supposed to fit long enough so that your little finger can fit between the heel and the back of your foot. You might think they're too big, but they're actually perfect. Don't try to squeeze your foot into a smaller pair so your feet look smaller. Go for the right size! Comfort is where I had some trouble. I wanted to give these shoes a try immediately out of the box, and the support is definitely there -- they feel wonderful on your foot while you're standing still. I made the mistake of taking a short walk and being on my feet for about 5 hours the first day and what I noticed is that my feet start to ache. It could be expected for someone with PF but I was hoping they'd completely eliminate the foot pain, which they didn't. However, even at the end of that day while my feet were aching, if I stood in place they felt good, no pain. I'm wondering if the fact that chefs swear by them has anything not do with the fact that chefs stand in one place for long periods of time, chopping while standing in one place, sauteing while standing in one place, etc. Not by walking a mile down a paved road. So the bottom line for me, is that I kept the shoes, I love the shoes, and I'm very glad I have them. I now wear them if I'm going out for short trips or to places where I won't be walking a lot and won't be on my feet for a long time. I'm working on healing the PF by doing those recommended exercises and hopefully it will go away in time. The shoes are great, very comfortable for people who stand around a lot, and if you don't have PF you may find they're perfect for you.

Hard to break in. Top is tight for a long time. But once broken in feel great. Love the arch support they have!

This is the second pair of this exact shoe that I have purchased and worn. They are very comfortable for being on your feet all day.

These shoes are awesome! Although they were a little tight across the top of my feet at first, I got used to them/they stretched out after a while. I work in retail and am on my feet all day and I never lose the pep in my step with these shoes, even at the end of the night! The support is great, which really surprised me because the insoles feel so hard and you wouldn't think they'd cushion your feet so well. These are a great professional shoe for people that are on their feet a lot!

As a true Dansko convert, my old pair of clogs wore out after 4 years of continuous use so I had to replace them. This is the only style Dansko makes in narrow, which I need. Since they make these individually, it is hard to get a good fit via mail order. I had to order 3 pairs and then pick the 2 that fit most comfortably. Frustrating to do this, but with Zappos' speed & free shipping, still do-able since I cannot find narrows in-store to try on. Once you get used to a Dansko Pro - you will never go back to your old shoes! Comfort & quality bar none!

I ordered a narrow and these shoes are still quite wide. I can wear them, but need very thick socks and had to put pads in the heel. That said, they are comfortable. I can walk in them for long periods even with my bad back.

These shies were not the quality I was expecting. The soles felt like hard plastic- not rubber. The shoe it self did not feel like leather either.

I always wear a 37 in these clogs. Have bought other colors from Zappos in the past. Unfortunately the length is longer than the other 37’s and definitely wide in the heel area. I know they should be a little loose but I couldn’t keep them on very well when walking around the house. Disappointing. I heard Dansko sold out the China. I went to a store and tried on another 37. Fit the way I’m used to all my older ones fitting.

This pair of Danskos fit fine and were exactly the style I wanted. HOWEVER, the left shoe had a slight lean to it, just enough that I felt like my left foot was supinating (leaning outward). Since I want these for working in the studio, where I stand for long periods, and to wear while traveling (walking through airports and around town), they would not be acceptable.

I ordered a wide size so that I could wear my hand knit socks. The shoes were a bit too big. My plan did not work with these. However, I ordered the Dansko Paisley in wide and they work perfectly with my socks

I wear 11 1/2 so according to your site EU 42 should work but they were quite too short. Disappointed. Also very slim selection for sz 43 professional danskos. There are quite a few of us tall nurses out there wanting these…..not just in basic black. Thx
