Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

These are larger than the similar pair I bought a few years ago. The base of the shoe is ugly and fake looking. The leather of the shoe is nice, but not enough to overcome the unattractiveness overall.

I've worn Dansko's for close to 20 years when I started developing foot problems. The doctor said I needed to bring the ground up to me and no more flats and they've served me well but in the last 3 years or so I've noticed they are not holding up like they used to the quality of the shoe for me has changed. I could wear a pair for close to a year now I can barely wear them for a month before they stop giving me the support I need. So though I love the design of this shoe I had to return it because the arch support broke down so fast. I'll just have to look for a shoe with a higher arch support.

The fit was OK, although a bit narrower than expected (maybe because they're new). But the real problem was the condition of one of the shoes right out of the box. The left had been worn to the point that there were heavy, noticeable creases/wrinkles in the surface of the shoe, and the sole of the shoe indicated some wear (bits of debris/dirt/something in the tread). Oddly, the right shoe did not have these problems. Returning them because the pair were not in what I consider new condition. I have ordered many pairs of Danskos from Zappos and this is the first time I've had an issue like this arise.

Fit and size was good but I ordered the black and they accidentally sent the wrong color. I ordered correctly it was their mistake. Thought I was getting it for Christmas but now have to wait until new stock comes in. I was very disappointed

Love the shoe but the 38s were too small and the 39s were too large. I have about 27 pairs of Dansko shoes and this is the first time I have had this problem :(

It seems like the fit of the Dansko clog has changed. I have always been a 37, but a recent size 37 purchase was too big, and the 36 was too small.

These are well made shoes, but too heavy for me.

I own 3 pair these Dansko's from several years ago & ordered these b/c it was a different color. I ordered the same size as my others but when these arrived they were HUGE...length & width. The ones I currently own are over 10 yrs old so maybe they changed the sizing. Unfortunately I will return them.

All I am looking for is a comfy slipper/shoe to wear in the house. This felt like I was wearing two Kleenix boxes on my feet.

A least one size too big.

Awful

I have twice ordered Dansko professionals and both times the sizes have been off. I usually wear a size 40 in these shoes and have purchased them from other places 7 times. Size 40 always fits. When I buy from Zappos, the 40’s are way too big. When I exchanged them for 39s, they are too small. I suspect Zappos is either selling knock offs or shoes Zappos can’t sell because the size is incorrect. I won’t be buying shoes from Zappos again.

I LOVE this shoe however, it is a true 5-6 size and not a 4.5-5 shoe. PLEASE SEND A TRUE SIZE 4.5-5

Too narrow- disappointing that they do not offer in a wide, as the fit is very narrow and because of the material it is made from, not very flexible.

I have several pairs of Danskos. This by far was the weirdest fit I have experienced. The heel box was SO much bigger than my other professionals and there was a weird nylon lining to the interior (not leather). These feel like a wide or a men’s size and won’t even stay on my foot. I am somewhat suspicious that they are knock offs. Thanks Zappos for the easy return.

These are horrible. Being returned. There is such a buzz about them but they’re not attractive looking, especially for a 21 year old nurse. They’re also not comfy. Maybe they needed breaking in more maybe didn’t give enough time but I bought these for my daughter and her second time wearing on a 12 hour shift her feet hurt so much especially on the top she had to take them off to drive home. And over priced as well

I ordered 2 different sizes - 36 and 37. The color of the 36 was totally different than the 37 (which looked just like the website photos). I contacted Zappos and they said that they could not guarantee that the color of the 36 (which came to me with dark brown tips) would look more like the 37 (which was all the same lighter brown.) Very frustrated!

I don't understand how these shoes have gotten the reputation for being perfect for people who are on their feet all day. I tried them out at home for one evening and was in so much pain. They are hard and heavy and very loose. Returned immediately. They are also even less attractive in real life than in the photos.

I’ve worn Danskos for many years as a work shoe. I spend a lot of time on my feet and these shoes absolutely kill my feet! I’m so disappointed by the decline in quality of my go to work shoes.

The color was great in the photo but frumpy in person.

I don't understand how there are so many 5-star reviews for this shoe. They are so uncomfortable! The first pair I bought in my size I could walk right out of. They were so big. So I sent them back for a full size smaller. They are not much better. The back of the shoe is too low and my heel slides out constantly. My feet ache from trying to keep them on. And because I'm now wearing a full size smaller, the high arch in the shoe makes for a tight fit across the top of my foot. This causes me feet to fall asleep if I sit in them for too long. The leather is so hard it doesn't want to stretch or mold to my feet. I keep wearing them because I keep thinking that maybe they'll stretch or my feet will become accustomed to them, but it's been a couple months now and there's no change. These shoes are too expensive to pitch and now it's too late to return them I hate these shoes! I have an old pair of Ariats that are 1000x more comfortable and have been from day 1. I wish I could find their replacement.

It was perfect except for the width. I’m normally a 7 but thought a wider size would allow for thick socks, but no way! Just too wide, so I went with the 7 in a regular width. A very comfortable shoe overall, I am always satisfied with Dansko

I really wanted to love these shoes. So many people recommended them as I am a dog groomer and on my feet all day. However, after one week of wearing these 8-9 hours a day, I began to have terrible back and leg pain. I just don’t think there is enough arch support, they felt so hard on the bottom of my feet. I ended up buying a pair of slip on Skechers last week and after just two days of switching, my back pain has subsided. But the shoes themselves are really cute and seem like they would hold up well to water, dog hair, etc. I would just caution anyone who may have arch issues on buying these.
