Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

If there was only one pair of shoes I could have on a desert island... I've always had a pair of these around, but it wasn't until a recent nightmare 2+ connections/delays/cancellations plane trip that I realized how amazing these shoes really are, and why medical and other professionals swear by them. I was able to stand hours in line, walk huge distances in airports, and basically cope,because I had these shoes to lean on. They are simply the best traveling shoes ever -- you easily slip them on and off for security or comfort, and they're also totally sturdy and dependable like a hiking shoe. GREAT.

This my 4th pair of the Prof. which usually is perfect. These are beautiful pattern and color but the collar area is so stiff I could hardly get foot into it. the toe box also is slightly tighter than my others.

Love these! The colors are not overwhelming but are still very pretty, and match any number of colored scrubs. They are very comfortable, too! The XP have nice cushion, but the cushioning lifts the bed of the shoe so then my arch gets rubbed. These are perfect.

Super cute! They have a rainbow effect as well, unfortunately I have to return due to a sizing issue but otherwise I'd be wearing them everyday.

I own this shoe (in the gorgeous Garnet colorway...get compliments on this color ALL the time. One instance, while at the supermarket, a woman approached me, pointed at my shoes and said, "Those are Danskos, aren't they? I love that color! I have to get me a pair!" I said, "Yep, they sure are, and yep, you sure do!"). A "couple" of notes: - My shoe size & width is an 8 & "just this side" of medium (regular). However, depending on the style, brand, cut (specifically the toe box) of the shoe I'm interested in (not to mention the probability of my feet swelling), I've been known to purchase 8.5Ms (wide widths always end up too big and slipping off my feet). - My Dansko Professionals are size 39, and I LOVE the fit...they're PERFECT. They don't "slip 'n slide" and even though my heel lifts a bit (as it should, I was told) I don't get the feeling that I'm about to walk out of my shoes every time I lift my feet). If I'd gotten the size 38 (US 8), they would have been too small. - One note: I tend to have problems with my pinky (and sometimes ring) toes (both feet) rubbing against the shoe. This tends to happen even with shoes that have a roomy toe box, and this shoe was no different, however, this issue subsided once I wore them "a coupla" times. Not a single toe rubs anymore and now, it's just a comfortable, fantastic shoe that I want to wear all the time...except, now it's spring/summer, and far too hot to be in anything but sandals. Gosh darn it! :D

LOVE Danskos! Loved this shoe... but sadly had to return it, because I ordered it in a 40R and it was too small... I also ordered the same size & style shoe in the stone distressed color, and it fit great! This shoe was not only narrower, but also shorter... I know that in the XP's I need a 41, but usually don't in this style... but the wine colored ones were significantly smaller...

Love my shoes everywhere I Go I get a compliment although the tip of the shoe is really tight when I sit down cutting off circulation but if I'm up walking around they are perfect and if I went up a size they where too big ????

Danskos are my favorite shoe company because I know I will have a comfortable shoe. The material is waterproof which I need for my job and they are comfortable for standing and walking at work. The few cons - they are a little heavy but are offset by the ease in which you walk in them. They are hard to wear with short pants or skirts because of their shape around the ankle - much better with long pants. The soles are durable so I get a lot of use out of them. I have several pairs.

Danskos are super comfortable and help support my back standing long hours! I have a few pairs and love them!!

You can't go wrong with the Dansko Professional in terms of comfort, durability and support. My foot seems to be between a 38 and 39 so I have too order several pairs in order to find the one that fits just right. Zappos makes that incredibly easy. Thank you Zappos!

This was my first time trying Dansko clogs for work, and I must say I am satisfied. I ordered wide width because the regular ones felt a little too snug. I read directions on how they're supposed to fit-- your toes should be free to move, you should be able to fit your pinky behind your heel and shoe, and your arches should feel supported. They are a little heavy, but you get used to it. On the site, I didn't really see the sparkles, but when I saw them in person I was delighted! They're so cute. Very happy with my purchase!!

wow! this is my first pair of dansko professional clogs - i love them. i have a somewhat wide forefoot, high arches and a narrow to normal, heel. until these arrived, i'd never worn a more comfortable shoe, clog or otherwise. my only regret is that i didn't shell out for my first pair of these 20 years ago...i could have saved myself a lot of: 1) agony from less comfortable shoes 2) money wasted buying those less comfortable shoes

The perfect fit! Sizing was the same as my Birkenstock Arizona's (US 8, EU 38). I was somewhat worried about the shoe looking too bulky and not going with my business casual clothing but they're great. I can even see myself wearing these with weekend/casual outfits. Now I understand why so many people own this clog!

Working as RN for 3 years and i cannot believe im just now wearing Danskos!

These are very sharp looking. I love the light colored heel. Very comfortable.

I have worn Dansko clogs for over 15 years and always have purchased a size 40. I wear 40 in Birkenstock as well. I recently ordered 2 different size 40 dansko clogs and both felt tight along the top of the shoe. The open back clog didn't feel too short like the closed back did. I compared the clog to other size 40 clogs I own and it is smaller. So I'm not sure if sizing has changed or if it's the style. Both styles were oiled leather with faux wood bottom which I've not purchased in the past. I have many of the patent patterned styles which fit great in a 40. I ordered a 41 and they fit.

I'm a CNA and am on my feet for a full 12+ hours. I've been a fan of Dansko clogs for years and LOVE these clogs. I'm a bit fan of the classic wood clogs and love the light soles on these clogs. I'm a 40 and they fit perfectly.

As a Dansko newbie, I am THRILLED with my purchase. I suffer from low back and hip pain and after my first day wearing these, the pain is gone! I am in shock. I highly recommend to any professional looking for a comfortable work shoe!

I love these shoes! The amazing comfort even upon the first wear. No break in period required! Dansko professional clogs saved me from the painful plantar fasciitis . Zappos is great and easy to shop with. Excellent shipping time ! Thank you so much. I'll be shopping with you more. Karen Harkness

These are my go to shoe for the operating room. I would recommend trying on a few pairs in the same size as there is some variation in the fit. I'm a 9 US and find the 40 is the most comfortable. It takes about two weeks to break them in - they are pretty firm and uncomfortable the first week. They last for ages. My last pair held up to almost daily use in the OR for four years, and they were more and more comfortable the longer I had them. It was heartbreaking to throw them away, but happily the new pair is just as good.

I bought a pair of Danskos for waiting tables almost 7 years ago and wore them daily. I finally wore them out (the top lip of the shoe lost its padding and the leather was pretty badly scuffed in a few places. I bought these as a replacement. I love the "wooden" detail of the sole, I think it adds a little style to the shoes. The only thing I notice that isn't quite prefect about these shoes is that they feel a little narrow. The side of my feet right below the toes push into the sides of the shoes. I've never had to buy wide shoes in any other footwear, but I might consider doing it with my next pair of Dansko clogs
