Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

Tight across the top but otherwise perfection

I rewarded myself with a new pair of Danskos after 15 years with my first pair. (The first pair still looked great but had started to squeak on the hospital floors. I love the silver flower design. This pair fits like my old ones and I didn’t have to break them in. I have worn them for 30 hours this week and have no complaints!

Love Danskos!!!

I have several pairs of Danskos and these ran a little smaller than usual. I wonder if they have changed their sizing recently. I reordered and the size up is working great.

The first day I wore these, my feet and knees ached a little. Danskos do take some getting used to and they are heavier and higher than the average shoe. However, they are very sturdy, and I LOVE the design. Unlike other patterned shoes I've purchased they are difficult to scuff. These will be my go-to shoe from now on.

Love these! They fit great and are cute for what they are. Wish Dansko made more styles in wide. My feet aren’t fat but they are wide and I love the support of Dansko my toes don’t like to be squished.

Perfect fit! I used to wear these for work, but recently ordered them for everyday. Cute with jeans!

I tried the XP and 2.0 and did not like them. Maybe it’s because I’m accustomed to the firm footbed that Dansko’s usually have. I tried these and they are perfect for me. I work at a wellness center and I’m on my feet most of the day. My feet feel great after wearing these all day!

Great color and customer service went above and beyond to correct my order. Very happy with my shoes.

This is a beautiful shoe, however, my left foot has a higher arch and it fits somewhat snug on the top. With wear it probably would stretch and would be fine. I decided to return it and keep the Twin instead.

I hesitated spending the money but this shoe is amazing! I had foot surgery last year and have had trouble finding shoes that are wide enough and don’t cramp my foot. These were comfy right out of the box. Also have amazing support. I wish I splurged sooner!

These shoes are so cute! They will bring some flare to my drab mandated scrub colors! I can’t wait to wear them at work!

Definitely worth the price! This is my second pair.

Danskos are the best! I bought my first pair 17 years ago and they just gave out last month! This time around, I purchased a Professional in 'Cordovan Cabrio' (the same color I've had for 17 years), a Professional in 'Distressed Honey' and an XP 2.0 in Brown Pull Up. I must admit that the XP 2.0's are extremely comfortable...yes, even more comfortable than the Professionals. However, I am not in the health care profession, and alas, I must be a little more vain than I thought, because I just don't like the shape of the toe on the XP 2.0. The Professional has that perfectly round "snub-nosed" toe that is so cute with jeans and the XP 2.0 does not...it just looks a little more like an old lady shoe than the Professional. So, the XP's are going back. Don't get me wrong...if I was on my feet for 12 hours a day the XP 2.0's would be the way to go...no questions asked! But...Dansko, why do we have to sacrifice cuteness for comfort? Can't you make the XP 2.0's as cute as the Professionals? And, in case you're thinking of purchasing a Professional, they are plenty comfortable, so go for it! A note about size...the Cordovan Cabrio color in a 40 (the size I had for 17 years) is snug around the middle of my foot (where there's that little padded band). The Distressed Honey in a 40 is super loose and fits more like my old worn-in pair. I think I'm going to have to return the Cordovan Cabrios for a 41 and see if that helps. Like other reviewers have said, the sizing on these is all over the place! If the 41 does not work, I may keep the 40 and try to stretch that part out. It's so snug that it cuts my circulation off. The Distressed Honey pair does not do that at all, and there's a bit more room in the heel too...almost like it's a size 40.5 or a 41...hmmm...

It took a couple of returns to get the correct size. The first size 40 pair, which I normally wear in this style, was too small. So I ordered a size 41 which was way too big. I then exchanged that for another size 40 pair. This pair fits like a size 40 normally fits. I think I just got a defective size the first time around. Love this color!

I have wide feet, so ordered the wide. It was HUGE! Turns out the regular width is just fine for me (I don't wear socks with my clogs)

These are beautiful and fun shoes. The pattern makes me happy just to look down at my feet. 100% satisfaction.

I’m a 9 to 9.5 and have wider feet with high arches . The 39 felt small at first but only cause I have high arches. The top of my feet were tight at the top of the clog. I’m wearing them anyway and they are breaking in nicely. No show socks from Stance are my go to. Also, for those of you debating on the color, it’s awesome! My work allows us to wear any color shoes so I wanted to ‘express’ myself. I was afraid the color would be too loud but they are perfect.

These shoes ar beautiful inside and out. They fit perfectly right from the start, and I LOVE the colors!!!

I wear a 41 narrow in birkenstock but this 41 worked as well. I used to wear Dansko clogs a great deal for about 5-6yrs - love them - they are still very comfortable! Note: i love clogs in general.

These shoes felt very different from each other so I ordered a second pair. The second pair had the same problem as the first only worse. I sent the second pair back and am sticking with the first pair. After awhile they warm up to your feet and these shoes seem to form to your feet and fit much better. I have had several pairs in the past and usually completely wear them out, which usually takes years.

Perfect all day, right out of the box!

I love this wildflower pattern! They are gorgeous. I have worn size 37 for the past 20 years. This pair seems wider than the size 37s I have owned in the past.

I received the Dansko Professional in a burnished tan. I just love them! They fit perfectly & I will get many happy years of wear from these superiorly made clogs! Thank you to the wonderful Zappos team!

I have two other pairs of Danskos (one Professional and one XP) in the same size, and these definitely feel a bit roomier than the other two, so I'm swimming around in them a bit, but I also have a high instep that's sore at the end of the day with the other two, and that's not the case here. Love the color -- goes with so much more than the Honey Distressed pair I also own (and has the added benefit of not making you look like you're actually wearing wooden shoes ;). As these stretch out, my plan is to wear a thicker sock, but imagine I'll be wearing these for many years to come!
