Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I was a die hard dansko fan years ago and needed to revisit due to a foot injury. I like the look (in the medical field and it’s a acquired taste) but they just did not fit. Too right across the top of my foot but then size up was much too big. Danita fit better but ended up with backless dansko.

The only reason I am giving this clog 3 stars overall is because I have flat feet and would appreciate little or no arch support. Nice looking, comfortable, feet stay cool. Thank you.

Way too wide; the regular width fit my wide foot just fine.

These are not wide width shoes.

I purchased the Dansko Professional in the Honey Distressed finish. The clogs looked much more distressed than I expected, based on the online photo. To me they appeared very dirty as if the toes where dipped in oily dirt. I returned them for this reason.

too tight around my toes, too loose around my heels

Worn these for years. Sizing and fit at heal seems to have changed. Sadly returning.

Like some others have noted, Dansko has changed over time. I never understand why a good thing has to change, they look like the old clogs but just the slightest change has caused much pain. My old Dansko clogs fit great, I ordered these thinking they would be just like my older ones. So disappointed. They felt too tight across the top of my foot. Maybe changing to have them made in China wasn't such a great idea Dansko. Time to find a different brand. Sad.

These are exactly the same size as the pair I ordered less than a year ago, but they fit quite differently & won't stay on my feet, so I have to return them. Meanwhile, the soles of the previous pair have worn down significantly in a matter of months. I wish they had lasted much, much longer

Worn many Danskos for years, this would be my 8th pair of clogs to join my three pairs of boots. Unfortunately, this pair of size 40 professional seems to run bigger across instep and rubs on lateral spots- opposite of older models. I've never had to really work to "break in" previous pairs, bought size up to accommodate my high arch with great comfort for long hours on my feet in healthcare. I do feel that clog in general may have been redesigned in recent years as my last two pairs were not as comfy right out of the box nor as sturdy/well-made as previous models from 10 years ago... And yes, I still wear pairs that are over 10 years old- still kicking!

Tight across instep, hadn't really loosened up with wear, either.

I have flat feet and loved these unfortunately they are made more narrow than precious models and hit all my sensitive spots on top of my foot and pinky toes. Love the look so hoping to find another similar pair but more comfortable like the pairs my mum has purchased.

this dansko is the far worst shoe I ever did get from you. It hurts my calves making it tired during the duration of my shifts. I would never advise anyone to get these shoe.

Feels cheaply made.

As much as I want to love these shoes, they just don't work for me. They hopelessly slip at my heels making walking in them nearly impossible. I do have narrow ankles and it's not uncommon for me to have this issue. If you're like me, these may not work. Other styles of danskos do fit me well so it may just be this particular style.

I've loved Danskos for years...well over a decade. I wore wore stapled clog Mary Jane sandals all over Europe for 10 months. I've had several other sandals as well and have loved them until the soles gave out and cracked. These were shiny in the Cabrio and looked cheap. It scratched easily as well. The lift in the heel these shoes have and are supposed to have feels strange and uncomfortable. Many swear by these shoes, but they just didn't work for me.

I bought these shoes because my doctor told me that was the only way he was letting me out of a boot after breaking my foot in 4 places. I know everybody says how comfortable they are, but honestly, I just don't get it. To me they are clumsy feeling because the sole is completely rigid. They sort of made me rock on them, which I was used after 8 weeks in the boot anyways. I know nothing probably would have felt great as my foot was still healing, but these just seemed uncomfortable to me (even on my good foot). I still have them, and wear them from time to time just to see if maybe they are comfortable now that I'm healed, but like I already said, I just don't get what all the hype is about these shoes. Maybe you have to break them in or something, and I just don't wear them enough to accomplish that. These were my first pair, and also my last unless they suddenly become as comfy as everybody says they are. I'm glad they work for so many, but my experience has not proven that theory.

I've been buying these shoes for years. This one felt too big. Also, wish they looked nicer!

Runs large, my heels were coming out of the back when I walked. I used to get the Timberland Pro removal but they've been discontinued. The search for the perfect 12 hour day work show will go on. Needless to say I returned these heavy clunkers.

Tight instep! This style has changed since a few years ago -- the instep is incredibly tight. I don't have a high instep, but found these to be so tight (even with very thin socks) that it was cutting off my circulation! If you have a very low instep, go for it. Otherwise, skip it!

I have been wearing Dansko's for 30+ years. I have one pair left that have seen better days and desperately want to replace them. Dansko's are the only shoes that keep my knee's and feet comfortable all day long. I have always fit into a size 40 (my shoe size is 9). My foot is slightly narrow so I was excited to see I could get these in a narrow width. Unfortunately the 40's are too big and not as narrow as I'd hoped. I wanted to exchange for the 39 narrow but they are out of stock. I also ordered a pair of Sanita's in size 41 as I recently received a pair in size 40 and they were too small. The 41's are too big.

I love these clogs but both this pair and a pair one size smaller were too short. I always wear size 11N and I loved the width but I will try another brand.

I want these shoes to fit my feet so bad....but they just don't. They slide right off my heel which makes it impossible for me to walk comfortably. They fit fine everywhere else so I don't think a smaller size will solve my problem. It's too bad because they're beautiful shoes!

I bought a pair of the Dansko XP Professionals last week. Size 42 Wide, black. LOVE them. Wanted to get a pair in brown so I'd have work shoes covered. I ordered these in 42 wide and they didn't fit at all like my XP Pros! Felt half a size smaller, and didn't feel wide at all. I don't understand why the exact same size from the same company should fit and feel so different. I even put the shoes side by side and could see that these were indeed smaller and less wide than the XP Pros. I have ordered a size 43 Wide in these to exchange them. I hope these fit like they should. If not I guess I'll have to stick to the XP's only.
