Since Dansko is now made elsewhere, nothing is the same size or fit. I have a pair of professionals from a few years ago that are wonderful. I have tried almost every size and width and cannot wear any of the new clogs. The top of the clog is too tight on my foot, even with the wide. A larger size is much too long. Very unfortunate but will have to find another brand.

I have been buying Dansko since 1999. I was excited to own this color combination upon ordering. Unfortunately, the sizing seems too have changed and grown larger, or at least wider. I swim in them now, even with socks, but the size down is too short. I have tried narrows, but not being a true narrow, they are too constricting for my high arches. It is hard to say goodbye to an old friend, but it's the end of the road, Dansko.

What did they do to Danskos?! This pair is clearly larger than the other pair - same model, different color. And the arch is much less supportive. Overall quality feels much less than the past, even on first wear. 15 years of loving the Dansko Professional... and this newest shoe is going back.

I have been wearing these clogs for years and love them: sturdy, comfortable, long lasting. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. Huge bummer to reorder a new pair this time around and learn the hard way that the left shoe is significantly narrower than the right in the pair I was sent. Back they go! Will reorder a new pair, but the hassle defeats the purpose of speedy online ordering.

These are much yellower in tone than the pictures show, I was hoping for something a bit more like worn caramel but they're more like.....honey dijon?

This is the second pair of these Dansko clogs that I have tried. Both were in my normal Dansko size: 38M, and both had the same problem: Way too loose across the instep and way too wide in the heel. I LOVED the look of the Stone color, so after returning the first pair to a different vendor (starts with N), I ordered from Zappos thinking the first try was a fluke. The answer is NO--that's the way these fit. I tried to order a narrow width but my size was out-of-stock. I'm not a newbie to Dansko--I have about 10 pair of clogs from them, all 38M. These are definitely different in how they were constructed. Guess I'll just give up on this incarnation of the Professional.

The sizing has changed! I've been a loyal Dansko customer for over 10 years and have always wore a size 38. If I saw a cute pair, I'd just place an order and they fit, easy-peasy! This year, I've tried 3 different styles (2 different felt pro styles and 1 Professional). In all I've returned 6 pairs trying to find one that worked! They all felt at least a 1/2 size too big. I know my feet haven't shrunk...if anything they've grown a little! In a desperate attempt to find shoes I bought a pair of Sanita...and they fit! Finally! I hope Dansko will correct their sizing, maybe in a few years I'll try again.
As for the black tooled style. I wish they had fit, they're cute!

I am so disappointed with this latest Dansko Professional I have been wearing these same shoes, ordered from Zappos for 20 years. This last pair was much smaller than usually, the leather was duller, and the shoe felt stiffer. I noticed that this clog was made in China while my last pair was made in Italy. I hope Zappos has not tried to cut cost and diminish their product.

They are very comfortable but the patent wears off the toes after some time and then they look terrible. I would not buy the patent. I am a size 7 with a slightly wider foot so I bought the 7W and they fit well.

This is a beautiful shoe but it is hard and hurts my feet. It is also a heavy shoe. Not for me!

I'm a huge fan of Dansko's, I've worn them for years but always stuck with the Mary Jane styles. I decided I'd give the clogs a go for winter since I moved to a cold, snowy climate. They arrived. I ordered the "oiled blueberry"- it just looks like a swampy black. The leather was extremely stiff and unyielding, just getting them on was painful. The design puts pressure on the top of my foot which sucks and finally, they just did not feel at all attractive. Normally Dansko's make me feel like my feet are cute and little but these just felt clunky and unflattering.

These might have had good arch support if I could have gotten them on!! They were SO much smaller than I need, I wear a 9.5 wide, ordered a size 41 (10.5-11) and it killed my feet to put them on. What the heck size would I have to order?? BACK they go...
People, listen to the reviews, they are right that this style runs small. Now I know too...
On the bright side, ZAPPOS quick shipping, return policy, and credit to my card is always quick!

I bought this shoe in a wide size and it was still far too narrow. Couldn't wear this shoe more than 5 minutes without it hurting.

It is too hard, it is a hard impact walk, there are several products out there much more comfortable. I will not buy this brand again.

I've been wearing Dansko Professional clogs for years. Unfortunately, I've noticed a real degradation in quality over that time. The ultrathin laminate coating on the black pair I bought in December started peeling within a few short weeks of purchase, like sunburnt skin, and the padded collar around the top of the shoe has cracked. I don't abuse shoes, not do I wear these daily, so I expect more wear than this at this price. Sad because I like the way they look but won't be ordering this brand again.

I wanted to love this shoe so badly, but unfortunately I am going to need to return them as they are far too narrow. I have never had a problem with wide width shoes in the past, and even some regular width shoes fit perfectly fine, but the wide width on this shoe does not work for me at all. I tried wearing them to work three separate days hoping they would stretch out, but after a few hours on my feet, my feet would go numb!
The color is great, the style is great, but these shoes just do not work for me.

Zappos did a great job sending me what I ordered. I bought the same exact shoes 5 years ago I have to say the quality of the shoes has gone way down. Won't buy them again.

Cheaply made. After only a few weeks of sporadic wear the edging around the top of the shoe started to peel and crack. I have fairly narrow feet, yet these were still tight fitting around the toes. I will not order another pair of this brand.

Nice shoe but the sizing was off. Same, exact, size as my old Dansko, but I can hardly get my foot in the new shoe. Was told that the shoes are hand-made and can have some sizing variation. You may want to buy these in an actual store so you can try them on first.

This shoe is sized small in both length and width. The leather is very hard and not pliable. The structure and sole provides very good support, but I will have to return as it is too narrow and short (in a 41 Wide).

I heard so many great things about Dansko shoes and have heard about their great quality. I was so excited for them to arrive in the mail so that I could use them for the office. When they arrived, they looked of good quality. I had ordered the wider width being that I have wider feet. The left foot fit fine, but the it felt tighter on the right side. I thought that it just needed to be worn down a bit. It took a while to get used to because I've never worn any clogs before. I had these shoes less than 1 year and I was very disappointed when the staples started coming out on the sides. I didn't even wear them everywhere I went. Mainly in the office, so of course they should've lasted longer but they didn't. You would at least think that they would last longer than a couple months, that was a big disappointment. I don't think I will ever order the Danskos again, being that this would always be my problem. They were pretty comfortable. I liked the arch. But they are not very durable.

Nice looking shoes, really comfortable but do not hold up to full time restaurant use. 5 months and the leather upper has holes. will be switching brands.

My foot fits inside very comfortably but the shoe hugs way to tight on the top of my foot. The top of my foot feels bruised by the end of the day. I'd like to try out a size larger but my foot fits in perfect, it's just the top hugs way too tight.
