Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I really wanted these to work, but my feet have so many problems; bunions and hammertoes, and these just weren't wide enough or roomy enough in the height of the toe box to be comfortable for me. So, unfortunately I returned them.

The fit is okay however none of the seams are finished--they are rough and thick and are not finished smooth like my other Professionals. Returning due to the discomfort on inner/outer foot where the seams exist

I had to return these because they put too much pressure on the tops of my feet. It's a shame because I like the style and they were very supportive.

These fit MUCH larger and wider than my older Dansko Narrow clogs--so much so that I returned them. Sizing has definitely changed over the years!

Beautiful designed clog, especially the tooled style. Unfortunately, I am returning them because of foot and leg fatigue. There is no give. They feel like wooden clogs. I attempted to cushion the inside with gel insoles to no avail. Hard interior.

These are too tight on the top/bridge of my foot…& I do not have chubby feet, but high arches/instep. The LT is even worse!!! They need to make this style in the XP - those fit perfectly!

I needed the width in the toebox but the heel is also extra wide. Did not work for me. Unfortunate. Had to return.

THe 71/2-8 fits tight so I went up a size and it’s too big! Why do they skip 1/2 size in between ie: 8-81/2...

I compared this shoe to the less expensive Sanita. Initially I was shocked at similarities but closer look shows Dansko’s shoe is a poor fit, lacks cushion in insole, and all and all is less comfortable. It’s not often the less expensive option is better but it was very true this time

I have the exact pair of Dansko Professional in another color, which I love, but these felt much larger even though my other pair is the same size and width. I'm returning. Instead, I replaced this pair with the Sanita Professional Oil, and they fit great!

My feet are normally not completely different size, so it must be the shoes are completely different sized. right shoe perfect, left shoe flies off if I kick my foot

I had to send them back twice because they were too big. The third time, they fit but were very narrow and still too uncomfortable to wear for a long time. I wore them outside so couldn't send them back.

There seems to be a problem with sizing now that Danskos are being manufactured in multiple countries. I purchased two pairs, same size, different colors. One pair fits perfect (made in China), the other is way too large (made in Viet Nam). Overall I think Dansko quality has gone downhill; the leather and stitching isn't as nice/sturdy as it used to be. Too bad because Danskos have always been my go to comfort brand.

The size 9 was too big and the size 8 was too narrower around the toes. I wear an 8 1/2 wide and couldn't find the right fit with the available choices. I ordered both sizes and neither was comfortable.

I like the shoes, i try them a week and they are smaller overall, cant wear them. I alreday bought the wide size

The toes squeezed my bunion but the back was much too wide and the shoes were too firm to my liking.

I ordered the exact pair I’ve been wearing for 2 years and these are way larger in length and width.

I had to return them because the fit wasn't quite good enough. Different sized feet, and the right one was just too tight.

I’ve had MANY pairs of Dansko’s over the past few years (prof, xp & xp 2.0), I’ve had plantar fasciitis for years and they really help me get through a 12+ hr shift with no heel pain at all, however the main problem I’ve always had is the fit across the top of my foot, it always seems to be a little too snug so I finally decided to order these in the Wide width but Disappointingly they fit exactly the same as all of the other MANY Dansko’s I’ve had, there is absolutely no difference in the width. I don’t know if it is a manufacturing issue but I’m really disappointed. Dansko’s are truly designed for a very narrow foot. PRO: These Dansko’s are absolutely gorgeous! I love the oiled leather, they hold up really well & don’t crease like the other styles,

The Professional model is a bit too large and too wide - sent it back. The XP 2.0 fits much better

I’ve worn Danskos for over 20 years. These felt harder, clunkier, cheaper, and way less comfortable. They just don’t make them like they used to. Returned.

I've worn this model of shoe for years. This pair feels somehow more stable than the previous pairs in which I was prone to ankle rolling, but also a bit more constricting. They tend to break in well, so I'll hold onto them. I've found weird variance in pairs that were labeled the exact same size (purchased at the same time) over the years, so maybe I just got a pair that is on the smaller end this time around. I hope they stretch a bit -- when they fit, they are the best shoes I've had for being on my feet for hours at a time.

I want to love this shoe. I used to have shoes similar to this many years ago by Merrill, though with less of a heel. I bought these for professional use, involving lots of standing and walking and moving around (currently, substitute teaching kids) because they can match pretty much anything and I have a disdain for high heels. I have pretty much no arches - flat feet - and my toes like to have plenty of breathing space in the toe box. These shoes appear to meet all my needs (before putting them on) EXCEPT because of the slidy-ness of the interior of the shoe, and the slightly heightened heel, my whole foot slides forward and my toes get smashed up against the front of the shoe. These shoes ARE the right size, they're very solid and durable seeming, and stylish - but I lose the benefit of the large toe box because of the "forward falling". I'm returning these for this reason to find something similar without the sliding.

I have a pair of these in this size, approx 2 years old. This shoe was very tight on my feet.

The instep was so tight it was painful even in a wide width. I have ordered this exact shoe in the exact same size in 2014 and did not experience this, however, I had to return this pair. Based on other reviews, I am not the only one who had this issue.
