Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

This is a fantastically comfortable shoe. This is also one of the priciest shoes I've ever owned. Nevertheless, it is pretty comfortable to wear the whole day considering I'm on my feet most of the day and my feet are pretty wide and swell as the day progresses. It isn't the cutest, but I wear pants anyway.

Great medical professional shoe - I purchased this shoe to wear while standing for long periods. This shoe provides wonderful support and the leather surface allows for easy cleaning.

My Dansko clogs are comfortable. Although these are reviewed as being smaller than marked size, I did not find that to be true. 7.5-8 was a bit too big for my regular size 7, but still comfortable. Very strong arch support that took some getting used to with my very flat feet. Style is ok - great with jeans, but somewhat too casual with khakis.

Great shoe for work. I waitress so I’m on my feet for long hours so comfort is a must. Not the most stylish shoe but when you need comfort they’re good.

Dansko Professional - These shoes are a godsend. I stand at work all day and these shoes are comfortable. The leather is a little hard, but I know it will soften over time.

Dansko Professional clog - These are comfortable and I could wear them all day at work and my feet felt great at the end of the day. Zappos is a great place to get shoes. Excellent service! Quick delivery! I will order from Zappos again.

High arches and plantar fasciitis sufferer - Good shoe. I needed a shoe that would help with my high arches and standing on my feet all day. This year I have suffered from plantar fasciitis on both feet and went through physical therapy. They highly recommended a good arch support shoe, so I checked out Zappos and found the Dansko seemed to be exactly what I needed. It took a little getting used to the first week, but I have noticed the difference, and so far, I haven't had to go back to the physical therapist. They are worth the money if you need to correct a foot problem, and I like that they're also non-slip, which comes in handy for kitchen employees. Also, easy to clean and wipe down.

Dansko Professional - I like the shoes. But I can not wear them at this time due to the fact that one shoe fits tighter then the other. So I have to wear them at short periods at a time to make them fit more comfortable.

Not what I was expecting - Dansko says "Your heel should lift up and down with every step" but that just seemed too weird to me. I ordered a 10.5-11 which is the size I usually wear. But they just seemed sloppy and bulky - but I think they're supposed to be that way. If you are looking for a shoe that your foot won't have to do any work to keep on - this is not the shoe for you. If you are looking for a clog that looks more professional - this is it. I returned my first pair, as it just felt like the shoes were too sloppy with my heel lifting out with every step. It's like you're walking around barefoot (with a shoe sole) but with some shoe surrounding your foot so it doesn't look like you're barefoot. BUT as I've gotten more used to clogs, I will try these again since everyone else seems to love them. As an attorney, I think I could get away wearing these with a pants suit, but definitely not with a skirt. Too clunky.

Good arch support - The shoes are a little small in the toe and I think it will take awhile to break them in, but the arch support is amazing!

Dansko needs to resize! I am a 12 1/2 size in women's shoes, between a medium and a wide width. I ordered the largest size available, 43 (women's size 13). I was very disappointed that they were much too small. The back did slip off my heels, as I expected--as was explained in other reviews and description. But I did think that the 43 (13) should have fit the front of my foot. It was much too snug, to the point of it being uncomfortable. I am returning these and hoped to order a larger size, however, this seems to be the largest available at this point. ALSO, I was a bit disappointed at the workmanship. Part of the outside seams were a bit sloppy--extra leather was showing past where it had been sewn. For the money, I think the seams should be perfect.

Professional Box - These shoes are great for work...I am a part time barista, which of course requires that I be on my feet my entire shift. Since I've been wearing my Danskos, I have not experienced any back pain or even tiredness while at work. They do stretch out some if you are one of those folks with a half size foot, but if you want them to be more loose than not, buy the size up from what you normally do (eg. I wear an 8 1/2 so I bought a 39, but I could have easily gone with the 40, and if your foot is just a little on the wide size keep that in mind as well).

Looks beautiful; feels not as beautiful. I really love the look of this shoe - but I am having a hard time finding a size that fits. I normally wear an 8.5, so I ordered the 39 - way too big... so I got the 38, still a bit too big... but 37 is too small. I am keeping the 38 since these look so cute with casual skirts and jeans, but my feet get sore because of the way they slide around on the bed on the shoe.

Unhappy with the stapling of the shoe -sloppy - Unhappy with the workmanship where the shoe is stapled on to the sole. This is my second pair and the first pair was not as sloppy.

Comfort - Dansko's are very comfortable despite fitting smaller than the average shoe. I actually have to order two sizes larger than my normal shoe size before I found a comfortable fit. Very durable and comfortable shoe.

Dansko Professional Review - Size 35 - If you are not used to this type of shoe you may think that it is too big. Don't make the mistake of attempting to get a snug fit. It will be too short and uncomfortable. The shoe does not fit like a standard shoe. Once you're use to the fit it's fine.

Wearing art on your feet - I love the look of the shoe very much... I can’t wear them without people commenting me. It’s like wearing artwork on your feet... I just wish they felt better... not the best fitting shoe. Ran small get larger size but be prepared to wear heavier socks with them to get them to fit better.

The shoe is attractive and comfortable to wear. It has good arch support. However it is like a clog more than a shoe. It is stiff and doesn't bend as your foot bends. I wish the initial description had said something about this before I bought it, as this was not what I was looking for at the time.

Dansko Professional - I like the look of them but it took a little time to get used to how they fit. You wear them like a clog, so you foot moves around a bit and the back of the shoe is almost useless. It has great arch support. I found the Golden Gate line by Dansko to be more comfotable than the Stapled Clog.

These shoes solved SO many problems - Where I work, I'm on my feet on slippery floors for up to 11 hours straight, sometimes with only one or two 5 min. breaks. It's been very rough on my feet, so I bought expensive shoes that were supposed to be comfortable, slip-proof, able to hold up, and hold me up, for extended periods of time. None of them worked. I was in pain at work and then I'd get home and be unable to sleep because my feet hurt so badly. These were kind of a last attempt before I went to the doctor to get help. They worked! No more slipping and sliding, no more walking funny, no more pain! And they cost less! My only problem was that I usually wear a size 11, so I bought a 41, but they were too small so I had to exchange them.

Rough start - Initially, this shoe caused pain across the top of my foot, but this has improved since the leather has stretched out. Unlike a lot of those who reviewed this shoe before me, I do not feel it is the most comfortable, but I don't have to go home and soak my feet at the end of the day either.

Awesome for work - I got these shoes only because my boss raved about them. They're non-slip, water resistant, and look so cute. The only problem is - that I find - is that I need to wear socks. The front area tends to run a little narrow, so I did get a blister the first time I wore them. But I do wear them when I bartend, and feel great even after 9 hours of standing. I highly recommend.

Great Restaurant shoes - These shoes are listed as non-slip but working At Chili’s with the oily floors I slip sometimes if not careful. Great comfort amazing arch support a little too much for my liking. I am a 7 but I ordered an 8 in this style with the back.

Dansko Professional - Great shoe but not meant for uneven surfaces as there's no ankle support. The upper part may feel a bit tight across your foot. The finish is easy to keep clean so that's great.

Painful top of my right foot - I do not like the look of the shoes, but my first priority for shoes at work is to keep my feet comfortable no matter what. Therefore, a pair of Dansko Professional were purchased based on recommendation from coworkers: "They are very comfortable and last long." The look of shoes is better than I thought when they were worn with work uniform. Arch supports and the quality of the shoes are great. But the serious problem that I have with the shoes is that the top of my right foot is hitting the shoe. That causes not only pain and redness on that hitting area of the right foot but also numbness on foot and leg by cutting off foot circulation. My shoe size is 6 1/2 C. When I tried them on at store, size 38 was too large for me and size 37 was comfortable. But after a couple of days later, the problem began with size 37. At first, I thought it was because of the new shoes. But it is getting worse by passing time. I am not sure whether the right shoe is defective or my right foot arch is too high for the shoes. I do not think that I can keep on wearing the shoes after several weeks.
