Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I tried these on in a store in a 38 and 39 regular. The 38 I could barely get my foot in; the 39 flopped off. Normally I wear an 8 wide in dress shoes, so I thought I would get a 38 wide in these. They are still too tight; I was able to get my foot in, but I felt they were too tight and for this price, I want them perfect. I had to return.

I am trying so hard to get a pair of Danskos that I like. These fit well front to back but my little toe was smashed. Not very comfortable and no arch support to speak of.

I love Danskos if you are lucky enough to get the right width. These are apparently handmade and it carries. I ordered 42 in black patent leather and they are great but I keep them at work because the leather scratches off with driving. I ordered the brown leather and the width (wide) is so tight I can't put my foot in the shoe at all!

This shoe is very stylish however the top of the shoe rubs and is too tight, it's hard to judge with Dansko as the next size up for me would be way to big. I am going to try and have them stretched, otherwise this may be my last part as I've had this happen before and suffered through it. I actually bought a bigger size this time but still the same issue.

Not recommended if you have a high instep (the curve at the top of your foot). I have this conformation, so this shoe cuts the circulation off a bit, so it lacks comfort in that respect. I went for a brisk long walk in them and they really started cutting of the circulation painfully. Around the house they are mostly fine. The footbed is comfortable and the shoes are very sturdy. The design is attractive. The shoe doesn't seem to breathe that well, just fyi.

Love the look of the tooled leather. Length is right but it's just too loose for me to move around confidently and comfortably. Narrow isn't available. I don't usually need narrow shoes but my last purchase of Dansko clogs was narrow oiled leather (I don't think they had the tooled in narrow then either). This time I ordered 3 pair (including the Silver Blue tooled and the Tamara) to compare (all the same size and this pair is wider / looser than the other two). This first pair of Dansko wore like iron - I've worn them for many years and they're finally falling apart. I've decided to keep the Tamara. It's a little more tailored in appearance but fits on my foot more securely.

I had a rather disastrous experience in needing a last minute pair of clogs, and Zappos treated me royally. I regret to say that these Danskos continue to be variable in size, and that the ones I got are HUGE, despite being ordered in my regular, narrow size. They rattle around on my feet and I'm constantly afraid of stepping out of them or turning my ankle. I'm not sure where to go next, but I appreciate Zappos excellent service.

Have worn Dansko clogs for 25 years. Bought the Professional for the first time, and although I have a narrow foot, it is snug putting them on. Even a thin sock bunches up, and I have to wiggle down into the shoe. I used to be able to wear a heavier sock with my old pair. VERY odd. I also HATE the embossed plastic strip that lines the inside of the back of the shoe, I might try to remove it. Am keeping because the support is good.

LOVE my black Danskos. The black Dansko wide 37 fit me well, but the brown here did not -- too big. Ordered a 36 wide, too small. Sad that there's no "just right" brown with this style.

I almost always wear US 9.5/EU 40, including in non-professional Danskos. But the size 40 pair were too small and the 41s definitely too big. After reading reviews, I decided to try Sanitas in size 41 and those are perfect.

I've been wearing Dansko closed bag professional clogs for 10+ years and always purchase size 38. For some reason the professional clog in Cordovan Cabrio always runs big. I've ordered it from a few different authorized Dansko retailers and it's always the same issue. This time I thought I was being smart and ordered a 37 -- no such luck. The right show was still too big. I sent them back. Such a shame because it's a great color that would look nice with either black or brown work pants.

I ordered these shoes from Zappos and the service was absolutely awesome! I can not believe that I ordered these shoes on a Saturday night and they shipped still the next day! And I got them on Tuesday (the day after Memorial Day). Was absolutely astounded. Would definitely shop Zappos again. I've never had such fast online service before. Zappos App is definitely going to be added to my android. But the shoe on the other hand is a totally different story. I ordered a size and half larger than I normally wear after reading the earlier reviews and I too have the same issue with the instep. The shoe would be an awesome shoe if the instep wasn't so tight. I'm trying to decide now if I am going to go ahead and send them back.

I wanted this shoe to work! with a wide foot & bunions, I really need something I can wear for long days at work. just couldn't get the feel of this shoe. felt like nothing about it conforms to my foot. :(

I ordered a size 36. My usual shoe size is 5.5 EEE/EEEE. The length is as advertised and the width is acceptable for a super wide foot with very thin socks but the depth is a bit snug across the top band. Not nearly as comfortable as my old Birkenstock clogs but they don't make them anymore. The heel is thick/tall enough to set off the scanners at airports. Not the most attractive style but I have limited options in my size.

If you have a relatively high instep steer away from this particular Dansko. I could barely get my foot in and out off the shoe and wearing socks is not even an option. I love Danskos so I will return these and try another model.

I own many pairs of Danskos and have always worn a size 37. For some reason these are too big for my feet. Still cannot be any happier with Zappos, got them quick and returning them for free! Will try a size smaller.

They didn't fit! It was difficult even to get my foot into the shoe.

They were too small by about a half size, so I recommend sizing up. They are very hard, which I wasn't expecting. They felt like wooden clogs.

I have been buying size 37 Dansko clogs for 30 years. These 37s were HUGE - unwearable. Very Disappointed.

I have worn Danskos for serving in the past. These shoes are not those shoes. These shoes are heavy, and narrower and don't give a sense that they will form to the foot. They are also 38s which means they are 7.5-8ish. I have a pretty perfect 7.5 M (I wear 8s in boots occasionally) and these were too narrow at my toes and loose at my heel. No thanks. They are not cute, so they had better feel like walking on a cloud. That is not this.

Alas, as a long time Dansko advocate, they stopped producing the past high quality that they used to. Not to mention the shoe sizes that they list do not co.e bear to matching the size they used to be. What's up? They were huge on my feet, the heel cup was very large, and the uppers felt flimsy. No more Danskos for me. Pity.

Shoe was stiff and very uncomfortable

They are too heavy and the arch is not comfortable on my feet.

size was great, but Dansko changed it's arch. Less supportive. I need to return.
