Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

Too hard! I have flat feet and the very hard arch support in these was too much. The fit was also tight across my wide feet. I tried to stretch them out by wearing heavy socks, but they were just too uncomfortable to wear. Several of my family members love these, but they don't work well for flat feet.

Dansko shoe review - I really like the Dansko brand in general. This particular shoe has not been as comfortable as some of their other styles I have tried. There is a metatarsal lift in the shoe and this is a bit uncomfortable for my left foot. I don't have any problems; however, with the right shoe, so its most like due to my own biomechanics.

Disappointed - I was very excited about this shoe after reading all of the wonderful reviews, but I was sadly disappointed. There was a nice arch in the shoe, but it was rock hard. I thought the shoe would be ok at first, but by the end of the first morning (indoors, of course, just in case), my feet and ankles were killing me. The top portion was also slightly tight, though I'm sure that would stretch over time. So I'm still on the hunt for a supportive shoe for all-day activity on concrete floors...

Not as expected - They are not as comfortable as everyone says they are. I would not be able to be in them for 12hrs which I expected to be. They are either too tight or too big.

Too small! I was so looking forward to getting these shoes... my friends all raved about them so I ordered a pair, along with several other Danskos. None of them fit! I wear a women's size 12 in every other brand - actually some 11's -- but I couldn't even get the Danskos on my foot. Has anyone else had this problem?

NOT ALL THEY ARE CRACKED UP TO BE - Everyone told me to get these for work that they are the best comfort shoe. After having to send back two pairs until I got the size right, (I think I finally got the right size) and having to pay a small fortune they took forever to break in, have had them a year now and still only wear them when I have too. Not my favorites by any means. I am 5'9", they make me even taller, they are very clunky and after a year I think they look worn and I only wear them to work in a salon. Can't understand what all the fuss is over these clogs???

Sadly Disappointed - I have heard tons of women rave about Dansko shoes and how comfortable they are. However, I am sadly disappointed. I find them extremely uncomfortable. They're also difficult to walk in. I find that I twist my ankles frequently. I guess I’m just the exception to the rule with this shoe.

Edges tight - I love Dansko's and have 4 other pairs. I wore these yesterday again and they are still snug around the edges. I noticed a cramped feeling in the toe areas of both shoes. I would have thought this shoe would have a little "give" in it after wearing it many times but it’s still kinda tight. A larger size and my heel would come out when I walk. I love the backless and fabric Dansko's much better.

Dansko Professional Shoes - I wear size 10. Shoe states 43 equivalent to size 12. Still feels tight. Sizing very unpredictable.

Dansko Professional - I have heard fabulous things about this shoe. However, they are not comfortable for me. They are too tight across the top of my foot and make indentations soon after standing for an hour or two. I am hoping they will eventually stretch enough to be comfortable because I paid a lot of money for them and they are really cute. Make my size 11 foot look small!

These shoes came highly recommended by my co-workers but I'm not that happy with them. They are a very hard walk...no cushion at all. I've turned my ankle several times in them and luckily have not broken it yet. Seem to be highly durable but not worth the money in terms of comfort/safety.

"Please take them off!" I was truly bummed to find out that, contrary to what I had read, these do not stretch out very well. I even tried taking them to a store to have them stretched for me. Little improvement. The tops of my feet beg me to remove the shoes after just 2-4 hours, not to mention my toes and sides of my feet. My back and knees feel great while I wear them, but my feet feel like they are going to fall off. I start getting clumsy in them as my feet rebel against having them on. These are way too expensive to take a chance, in my opinion. If you try them on at a store, ask for a brand new pair so you won't be trying on stretched out ones. Also, mine yellowed very quickly. I know not all of them do that, but mine did. Hopefully, I can try to give them to some young college student, willing to wait the months it seems to take to have them fit better.

KILLER OF A SHOE - Yes, looks great but kill my feet by the end of the day. Go limping out of work after 9 hours on my feet on cement floors. Have been wearing them only 3 weeks and still waiting for them to stretch. Should have bought half size bigger but they look so great on the foot while sitting. Have a torn ligament in left ankle and now don't know what hurts worse, the ankle or the shoes.

Not for wide feet - I purchased these since everyone raved about them. I have wide feet, and these were not the shoes for me. I had to return them. There is room in the toe box, but not width wise. They were rubbing against the inner ball of my foot. My feet also pronate, so the high arch was very uncomfortable. I was disappointed. Too bad they don't come in wide with a flatter arch, or they would've been perfect for me.

Dansko Professional - Several doctors, podiatrists and nurses in the O.R where I work wear these shoes and highly recommended them, so I bought a pair. They have never been very comfortable for me since I started wearing them a year ago. They seemed to fit perfectly during initial wear but stretched out causing my feet to slip forward with my toes constantly hitting the front of the shoe. I am also developing a bunion which I attribute to the aforementioned slippage. (I wear a size 7 1/2 and bought a size 38. A colleague of mine buys a size smaller than recommended for her true size and has no problems.) The shoes are very sturdy however, and provide incredible support and shock absorption. I have also had a significant decrease in back pain while wearing these shoes.

I always wear a 37 in Dansko clogs. I was very disappointed when I received my clogs. The right shoe was way to big and stretched out like someone had returned them.

I was SO excited to finally treat myself to a pair of Dansko shoes, after seeing all of the other hospital staff running around in them for their 12 hour shifts. I don't know how they did it, honestly. I purchased Dansko Professional Charcoal Distressed EU 39 (US Women's 8.5-9) Regular in my usual size, they fit perfectly. But as soon as I put them on, I felt the weight of the shoe. There is really great arch support, and the shoe is so cute. I just couldn't wear them running around at work for 3 days straight of 12 hours. Hats off to those who can.

These shoes were very uncomfortable. my feet were in so much pain after wearing these to work. Not sure why so many nurses or anyone purchases these shoes. They're awful.

I was having back pains and my friend swore by these shoes, and so I bought a pair. They aren’t the best looking shoes I’ve ever seen. Also, after wearing them from more than an hour my feet start to hurt.

i have foot pain and the sole was too hard. it was a very supportive shoe but the sole just felt like steel and it didn't help my foot pain so i have to return them. The Bethanie helps my foot pain (and all Birkenstocks)

I wear a 6.5 and have 2 other pairs of Dansko clogs that are size 37. I ordered a new pair in a 37 and they were so big (too long and too wide) that they fell off my feet. I was so surprised. I have read several other reviews here that have experienced the same issues. Has Dansko changed their sizing or has their Quality Control been discontinued? However, I like them so much, I will probably try again in a while.

I love the shearling but this particular model is cut very wide and large. I have worn Dansko's for years and owned many pairs.

I’ve worn Dansko’s for 10 years, great arch support for working on my feet 12 hours a day on concrete... etc. However. I have been utterly disappointed in the “print” shoe I ordered this year. It was the petrol patent. I ORDERED the shoes on July 10th, wore them for the first time a week later.. and by the picture that I finally took on August 20th, you can see that all the “petrol” sheen is gone. I’ve been wearing them as the dingy black color they are since. Again, very disappointed and makes me rethink Dansko altogether.

Terrible quality. Both shoes very worn in just two weeks of wear. Very disappointing because I have worn Dankos for years and have never had this happen that quickly!

I got these shoes because I am on my feet for 9 hours a day several times a week, unfortunately, wearing these all day eventually felt like standing on two rocks. The arch support is great but they are not comfortable or cushy at all. My feet ached half way through the day. Disappointed after all the great reviews saying how comfortable they are.
