Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I've been wearing Dansko Professionals for decades, replacing as needed, and never worrying they would be anything but wonderful but alas they have changed for the worse. This new shoe is a cheap knock off of the classic I've come to know and love. Too big, bad arch support and structure. Very sad that I no longer have these to keep me standing comfortably for hours.

I was sent the wrong size.

I have the brown pair which fit perfect. The same shoe different color same size are huge on me.

They fit great, but I returned them because they are too heavy.

much larger than usual. I have been wearing Dansko clogs for 30 years, and this year both my usual size and a size smaller are way too big. This seems like a new quality control issue. Returning them both, which is a real shocker for me. Very disappointed.

Dansko has changed. I had these shoes for years before they gave out and the fit was great. I ordered the same 37 as all my European size shoes and my old Danskos and my feet kept slipping out of these! I'm reordering in a 37 narrow to see if my foot will not feel like it's swimming in them and, after doing some research, I also ordered the Professional style by Sanita (which was the company spun off of Dansko it seems). So we'll see. In the meantime, back these go!

I ordered wide. It came very very tight. marked as wide but not it is actually regular width.

it was to big

I work in health admin and spend a lot of time running around and a lot of time sitting. I needed something comfortable for every day tasks and sneakers sometimes look unprofessional when you're working front office. ANYWAYS, these are absolutely awful in so many ways. They are clunky and ugly (which I was gonna trade for some extraordinary comfort) but they turned out to be SO painful. The "wide" version of this shoe cinched my feet so bad they were purple for hours after. I don't understand how anyone thinks they are comfortable (and I work for a podiatrist!) At 5'5 I felt like a giant cow clunking down the hallways at work. They feel like literal bricks on your feet. I could not wait to take them off. In fact, I did take them off and wore flips flops for the remainder of the day. These are truly terrible unless you have zero feeling in your feet. Back to wearing sneakers. At $140 dollars this is a complete ripoff.

I usually wear a 38. I got the wide width because at the end of the day my feet swell. This pair was so tight I could barely get them on

Horrible fit for me. These are hard shoes not soft

Quality control is poor. One shoe is almost full size different. This has happened numerous times with Dansko.

The instep is too tight. I was adviced to buy a bigger size but I am already buying a half size larger than I need so buying bigger will not be a better option for me.

Terrible experience. My last 2 dansko shoes from a few years ago were a perfect and comfortable size 39 W. This pair is no where near wide. They were so painful the first day, I tried them second day hoping I would break in. I ended up asking my daughter to bring my old ones to my job by 2 pm as I could barely walk. I have no doubt, they are probably okay for a narrow feet. But please, do not label a shoe wide when it's not a wide fit, very unfair for people like me who depend on wide fitting shoes.

The Black patent leather in the style cracked after about 6 months... not worth the price .

I ordered size 42 (men's 8.5-9). Too big. Ordered size 41 (men's 7.5-8) Still too big. I wear 8.5 size shoes my whole life. Had to return both pair. Something is amiss with their sizing. Loved the shoe, just couldn't make them fit. Unremovable insole is also a problem if you need to use better arch supports.

I know others rave about this brand and this shoe, but after trying on my very first pair, I'm stumped. I normally wear an 8.5 in close-toed shoes so I can have thicker socks on for the winter. I bought a 39, and my heels were coming out as I was walking. What made things even worse was that the shoes were VERY firm, and completely unbending. I felt like I'd taped bricks to my feet and was waddling around instead of walking. These shoes weren't comfortable as is and I couldn't see them ever "breaking in" and conforming to my feet and walking style, so I had to return.

I Love dansko and have worn them for over 15 years. In my attempt to purchase new pairs, I have found then too large(all styles).35 had always worked . My several 35 that I am still wearing are fine so my feet haven't changed. I am now sadly trying new brands to find a proper fit.

Shoe was way to big even after I returned it for a smaller size. Show way to heavy, felt like a work boot

Not comfortable

The fit is a little large, the style is fine, but the comfort wasn't there for me. Wearing these shoes, Dansko Professional, was like walking on concrete all day. They were extremely hard and firm under my foot, definitely not a comfort for my feet at all. I am very disappointed because these shoes have wonderful reviews - I just don't understand what they think is comfortable about them.

I normally wear a men's size 9. I ordered a 42 and it was too big so I ordered a 41. It was still a little long but it hurt the side of my feet! Not wide enough where it needs to be and too wide in the heel. I had to send both pairs back and will try different shoes. I have heard good things about dansko shoes but when I previously tried to order them I had the same issue.

Very disappointed in these shoes. Typically wear a size 7 so ordered a 38 but they were too big. Ordered a 36 and they were WAY too tight across the top of my foot.

I purchased the wide widths, but couldn't even get my foot in for the size I wear for other shoes.

I wanted to love this shoe. Why can't Dansko make a wide that is actually wide?
