I have had these shoes for exactly two years and the leather on one shoe is peeling! Moderate wear, well cared for, and no exposure to rain or snow. I own two other pairs of Danskos which I have had for 10 or more years, and have never seen this happen. Disappointing!

The Dansko Professional clog, NARROW, felt ok in the toe box and length- but the measure around the arch/middle of foot was too wide, and the shoe slipped off even with the lightest movement. I compared these to the same shoe I already had- purchased 10 years ago- which still fit comfortably snug around the middle of the foot, and do not slip off. Very disappointed.

This particular item is a mis-marked product. It is not a Narrow. I have enjoyed Dansko Narrow clogs for over 25 years. They are a fantastic clog for a narrow foot. Unfortunately, this pair is definitely a medium. I could not keep my narrow feet in them when I tried them on. The inside marking states it is a narrow but it definitely is not. They are a comfortable and finely made clog though.

These were a little wider than I would expect a narrow width to be. Also, they were heavy. I returned them.

We ordered these in a 37 Narrow, which my wife has been wearing for about 15 years. They were too wide in the heel, and the flopped around on her feet. At the same time, we ordered a 36, which was only available in Normal width, and they also flopped around on her foot. Obviously, Dansko has changed the design of these shoes over the years. A similar shoe from Dr. Schools fit much better.

Very disappointed. I've been wearing Dansko professionals for years and they seem to have changed the sizing. They are longer and narrower than previous versions. I've tried wearing them in for awhile but they seem to hit my arch in the wrong place and are causing blisters on my pinky toe and heel.

The color is great. They are too wide. I’m a bit disappointed. I’m a nurse and I have been wearing these for 40 years. I bought a new pair because mine are 5 years old and stretched out. These new ones feel the same

I have narrow feet and I ordered the narrow, but the shoes were wayyyyy too wide. No way you could wear no socks with them or thin socks.

This is weird, but one shoe was significantly bigger than the other and both said it was a size 38. I've been consistently a size 38 with my previous Dansko's, but when I received this the left shoe fit perfect like my old Dansko's, but the right shoe felt like it was one size bigger. I just got off the phone with customer service so they are taking care of exchanging the shoes for another pair of size 38. Hopefully this next pair both fit perfect. It's just unfortunate I got the bad lemon. The customer service was excellent and they took care of everything on their end. I'll wait to receive my new pair to see if they work.

I ordered a size 40 and the box said size 40 but the clogs inside the box were a size 41. i called the zappos number and was assisted very efficiently and the shoes should be picked up for return thru UPS today. Unfortuntaly there was not another pair available in my size and choice of color.

The clogs were a bit wide for my feet even with heavy socks. I wore them for an afternoon and was surprised that my feet continued to hurt for two days.

First of all, these "black tooled" shoes are not black. They are black and gray, and I don't know how anyone could ever polish them without getting black polish in the gray grooves. That being said, I was surprised when these shoes came in 1/4 inch shorter than my previous Danskos of the same size. They were too short, and I had to return them as my toe hit the inside of the toebox. I ended up getting a similar pair at a local shoe store, where I learned that there are size discrepancies in Dansko clogs depending on where they are made. ( China or Mexico) The new 39s from China that I purchased locally fit me fine and are the exact same length as the pair I got last year. Unless I can determine beforehand where the clogs are made, I don't see how I can order these shoes online anymore.

I will agree with some of the other reviewers...the quality of this clog has DEFINITELY gone downhill. Despite wearing the same size for 20 years, I have to order multiple shoes OF THE SAME SIZE in order to find the correct one (and they’re all the same size, just not fitting the same).
The quality is lacking. Dansko have always been my standby...I wear them ALL the time at work. There are times I pull 7 or 8 24-hour shifts in a row, and when the clog is right, my back knows it. They used to last forever, but now they start breaking down more quickly.
It’d be refreshing for this feedback to reach Dansko, as it’s repeatedly commented on by these reviewers, and have them DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Until they do, I’ll look elsewhere...I’ve grown weary of running back and forth to the UPS store to return shoes that should fit, but don’t.

I wore Dansko's about 20 years ago and loved them . . . until they switched up production venues and the shoes no longer fit. I went to Sanita for clogs, and I'm not thrilled about how long they last, but whatever, they fit. So when my latest pair fell apart and the sole disintegrated, I thought I'd try Dansko's again just to make sure. I still find that the volume of the shoe is small -- it fits front to back, but the space between the sole and top of my foot is really cramped making it impossible to even go up/down in size. So I guess if you have a "high volume" foot (as they say in hockey skate parlance) these are not for you!

What is going on with Dansko? I reordered the same size and style as my previous order in 2018 and what I received is way too large and so wide open in the back, I step right out of them. This is a completely different fit from before and they are unwearable. PS: I tried a smaller size and still stepped right out of them too. I have been wearing Danskos forever as my go-to shoe and now I can't wear them.

This is my third pair of Dansko non-slip clogs. I had to send the first pair back as they were too big (my other 2 pair are size 39). The size 38 fit ok but they were very slippery on our restaurant floor. By the end of the night my feet were throbbing, back aching and hips burning. I have NEVER experienced this with either of my previous clogs (I own one pair of XP20 and one regular)I'm sending them back and ordered another pair of the XP20 for more arch support. I'm still a huge fan of your clogs and was excited about the tan pair for spring/summer) Too bad the XP20 doesn't come in the lighter colors.

I have been a loyal Sanita customer for 15 years, but they were out of stock of my usual size so I decided to try Dansko's now that they have narrow size. Very disappointed. Their 40N (same size as I wear in Sanita) were way too roomy. That is definitely not my definition of narrow sizing. Feeling very frustrated that what has worked well for me for so long is proving very difficult to replace.

I wear a size 14, but when it comes to clogs I always have to go a size up. I ordered these shoes hoping that they were going to be a great fit after reading the reviews. WRONG! When the box arrived it was a lot smaller that what I expected and so were the shoes. They were supposed to be a size 48 or 14.5 - 15. They were more like a size 13

smaller than before. I first bought danskos when i injured my knee & ended up with a laundry list of problems... the doc. recommended dansko and other shoes. they didn't look pretty back in 1999, but i bought a pair in black that just almost barely pressed my toe too far front... Were comfortable, wore them at the warehouse at work, and on the dune cleaning up property. couldn't wait to kill them (oog-lah) but lasted me till 2020! 21 years!! Was excited to get rid of them completely worn out. These new danskos seem smaller, hard to get in, no room for my toes, can't walk in them... perhaps need the next size up... not a fan of all the chinese-y patterns dansko is using... (how am i supposed to wear my animal print pants, or my floral skir with some of those ooglah patterned shoes? no where near my taste...
(Anyway, another reviewer recommended Sanita, and I got a pair of those that I couldn't take off for 2 days... very comfortable, gorgeous styles, colors, I cannot believe I'm actually going to be wearing ANOTHER pair of clogs for the next 20 years of my life...glad I found the Sanitas, sorry dansko aint' what it used to be)...thanks for the memories!!

I have been wearing size 40 danskos for 20 years, I have not ordered any from zappos, but it was pretty odd that they were so BIG it seems like after I packaged them etc for return it was all a waste of time, especially since I ordered a pair of HOKAs and it took forever to even get them, I'm very disappointed.

Left shoe felt like a wide when I ordered medium. I ordered two of the same style, size and color, and both pair the left shoe was much wider. I ordered two pair directly from Dansko and they both fit fine. Never had any problems with ordering Dansko clogs from Zappos but sadly I had to return them.

Dansko has changed the width of their narrow shoes, such that they feel like regular width shoes. Therefore, I'm "up a creek without a paddle" because these were my go-to shoes, especially for work.
