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.

I have a very high arch.. and the shoe comes up too high on my foot therefore hitting and cutting into the top of my foot.. My co workers love the shoe and swear by it. If you have a high arch try it on first and walk around..

Dansko Professional-
This shoe needs some time to get used to. After a couple of weeks, they get really comfortable. My biggest beef with these shoes is that they are larger than expected. I wear a size 5 women's which is a 35 for these Danskos, but they still feel really loose. The arch support also needs some getting used to. My feet ached the first few days. Overall, if you work on your feet all day, this is a good shoe to have.

Good work shoe -
Not the most comfortable shoe in the beginning, but once broken in they are a great pair of shoes.

I haven't bought a pair of Dansko shoes that I didn't like and these didn't let me down either.

They took awhile...
When I ordered the first time around, I ordered my true international shoe size (women's size 10, so a 40). I could not get my foot in them! I then tried on a friend's at work (same shoe) and realized I had to get a bigger shoe... a size 42, which fit perfectly. These shoes are not meant to fit snuggly, they are a loose shoe, where the heel moves with every step, not form-fitted to your heel. They are fitted in width correctly, and the arch support is FANTASTIC. Once you get the correct fit, they are very comfortable. I am a nurse, on my feet, and they have helped considerably with foot/leg fatigue.

I wish they fit better -
I am new to the health profession. I tried these on at a store and they actually helped my recently banged up knee feel better while walking! I thought I should get them for work. Was thinking about returning them after they felt too small for my feet, but was told they'd stretch by my co-workers. I am thinking of hiring someone else to wear them until they do, because they really hurt my feet. My knees and back love them, but my feet can only tolerate them for short periods of time. A bummer to spend so much and be disappointed :( I usually wear a size 9 and the 40 seems too short for my right foot. 41 was too big. Half sizes would be nice!

Dansko professional -
I loved the shoes until I got calluses on the balls of both my feet...very painful. After persevering with the calluses, they eventually disappeared and now these shoes are the most comfortable I ever owned. Go figure!

I love the look of my Danskos and they are so nice and easy to just slip on and run out the door to work. I can stand in them all day and my calves and back don't hurt. They felt a little shorter than expected but not uncomfortable. You have to wear thin socks though.

I'm surprised by the reviews saying this shoe is so comfortable; it's not (for me). All through covid I've worn trail runners with my scrubs, so lots of cushion but they're looking kinda ratty. I do like the razzle-dazzle of these shoes but my goodness, they're *heavy* and also zero cushioning. My knees and hips hurt by the end of my work day, and I really I'm not on my feet all that much. I'm going to keep the shoes but I won't buy another pair. I typically wear a 9.5 in shoes so I'm between a size 39 and 40. Initially I ordered a 40 but that was MUCH too large. The 39 definitely fit better but a bit more firm at the forefoot.

These look great but watch out! The very first time I wore them I turned my ankle and fell. I’ve had Dansko clogs before a long time ago but have mostly worn Sanita clogs over the years and I think they are more stable.

These fit differently than other Dansko Professional clogs - they are much larger. I tried two different pairs of my usual size (I have several pairs of Danskos and have been wearing them for years) but these just don't fit. Regular size was way too long and too wide, so I tried a second pair in my size thinking perhaps the first pair was mismarked. Also huge! So I downsized a size and they were the right length, but did not fit over my foot and the arch was in the wrong place. I love the style, but these just aren't going to work for me unfortunately. Its very frustrating to me that a company like Dansko doesn't remain consistent in sizing on all styles. I ordered three pairs and sent three pairs back! I will have to look for an animal print shoe in a different brand I guess....

Although they are listed as wide, they are quite narrow. I cannot tell the difference between this pair and another pair that is not "wide". As a result, I cannot wear these shoes.

I have worn and loved Danskos for over 20 years. They help prevent back pain, especially in my waitressing days. But the Honey color is incredibly inconstant. I ordered a pair that was lovely but too big. I exchanged for the right fit two more times and they fit well but the finish/color was not as nice. Spotty, with much darker toe areas. So I gave up. I’ll have to shop for these in person somewhere instead to find a pair I like.

I have worn Danskos for years. These hurt and truthfully, felt simply miserable. I hate to see them go because I think they're super cute. It seems like the materials are all cheap now and they just don't feel right.

I have used these shoes for a while but they tend to hurt my feet after 8 hours and I used to have some Dansko that were so comfortable.

I’m a 7.5 but in this brand I buy a 37. If I bout a 38 they would be too long like clown shoes. Only downside is they are tight on the top of my foot so I use a hair dryer to help stretch the leather. About a week after struggling through the discomfort they fit just right. I suffer for the overall quality. Beauty is pain!

This shoe was way smaller than the size. I couldn't even get my foot in the shoe.. Since I started at the largest size there was no where for me to go.

Not sure what is happening with Danskos recently. I had been wearing them for 14 years, getting new ones every 2 years, but this year all of them I ordered was so long. I understand that your heels are not supposed to fit at the end but freely come up as walking in them, but this time there is a huge space behind my heels and the shoes. Never had this issue before. I tent to switch over Sanitas now, but they are the opposite and running super small, that my feet don't even fit it. I returned a few colors I have ordered. Thank you, Zappos for allowing me to bring a "shoe store" into my living room and try them all on and for the easy no hassle-free returns.

very cute clog but no arch support. i have a narrow foot and feet slosh around in these with the relatively flat footbed. also my right foot is slightly longer than left... my toes bumped up against front of shoe uncomfortably. other dansko clogs in the same size do not have this problem.

Second order of Dansko from Zappo. Wear 8.5 (US)
First pair were perfect. These are too big. I will keep them , however, as I will wear them with heavy socks in winter
