Dansko Professional - This is a wonderful shoe! I have a hip injury which causes lots of problems if I don't wear a supportive arched shoe. The Dansko Professional is the most comfortable I've ever worn.

I've found some Aerosoles to be good choices.

Dansko Professional - Great clogs! True to size, will stretch to width. The open back version must be sized up. I live in these shoes, for work and home - nothing is more comfortable for your feet! If you are on your feet all day, these are the shoes for you! I own many pairs in different colors, the oiled version wear much better than other styles. Excellent arch support.

Massage clog - I am a massage therapy student and was told of this clog by another massage therapist. It is surprisingly very attractive, even in a size 41 (10 1/2-11). My only complaint was that the right shoe was much tighter on the instep (across the top of foot). I have now worn them almost 8 hours a day for the last 3 weeks. My feet and legs are tolerating the long hours very well. I wear them usually with a lightweight sock. I do not have any trouble with feet getting hot, sweaty with these shoes. They look very attractive with my scrubs - even in the color black with pastel scrubs. I will definitely purchase another pair, maybe in white or tan, in the future. For the working person who has to be on their feet on concrete for any length of time, I definitely recommend them. In addition, I have never had such good customer service as I have had from Zappos, their ability to actually talk to you when you call and they actually know this product. Thanks, Zappos!!!

The most comfortable shoes on the planet! These are the shoes that I put on after a long day at work if I didn't wear them to work. If I trudged around all day, then they are the most comfortable shoes to wear until I go to sleep!

Dansko Professional - This is my second Dansko. It was less expensive buying at Zappos, but my first Zappos order proved I was wrong about being sure of the consistent sizing of these shoes. I normally wear a 7M, but ended up exchanging for a 6 1/2. If you are on your feet all day long, this is a shoe that supplies good support, so your legs don't get tired.

My other shoes are getting jealous - I love these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable. One of the first days I wore them I taught school all day and helped with my son's high school musical in the evening. I was on my feet for most of my 15 hour day and my feet felt great. My husband is a chef who wears them for work and he loves his too!

What else can be said? Ever since getting the Dansko Professional, I have only worn one other pair of shoes: my winter boots. And that's only because it was snowing, sleeting and insanely cold and windy! These are the best, most comfortable shoes I have EVER owned and I'm a shoe pig! I've got 'em all but I might as well throw the rest out because these are the BEST. I often forget to take them off when I get home and when I do think of it, I realize I don't want to take them off.

I do not have excessively wide feet and usually take normal width but I feel the professional run narrow, so I ordered wide which fit just slightly wide versus other wide shoes I've tried on.

This is obviously a good shoe, but it didn't work for me. Think this is because I have narrower feet. I had a pair of Ariat clogs that fit me like a glove (got them at Zappos about 7 years ago, and they just started looking pretty worn). Was hoping these would replace them. I usually wear an 8.5 (39), but ordered up due to reviews. Just for reference, I also wear a 40 in Naots. Had the same experience as last time...my heels came up out of the shoe when walking like I am wearing flip flops. My thumb fit in the back just like the reviews say they should. Not sure if it would be a good idea to order a narrow because of bunions. As much as people say clogs are not very pretty, they make a good workhorse shoe when I am grocery shopping and running errands in rain, salt, snow, and slush. Easy to clean and maintain. I did like the honey brown/cognac color, and am sad they didn't work.

My first comfy shoe - This is my second pair of Danskos. My first pair, the Giselle mary-jane, hurt my feet after standing for 8 hours at work. A fellow pharmacist told me I needed to buy the Danskos with the big wedge heel because it helps the shoe mold to your feet. I gave it a try and bought these despite the clunky appearance, broke them in for a week as recommended by my friend (they hurt for the first week, but no worse than my old shoes), and now I'm in heaven at work! My legs aren't tired and in pain when I get home after standing all day! And Zappos service was fantastic, I got the shoes on my doorstep about 20 hours after I placed my order with upgraded free shipping!

I love these Dansko clogs, but felt there was some inconsistency with the color shown for "honey distressed" with what I received. The shoe that arrived was very beige with hints of yellow. They looked like big peanuts, however the shoe shown on Zappos website for "honey distressed" had hints of red and looked like a warmer color.

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.

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.

I work in a lab in a hospital. At first, I was so excited to get these! I loved the print and a lot of nursing friends had recommended this brand. I ordered two sizes and ended up keeping the 42 (US Women's 11.5-12), even though I am usually an 11 in running shoes. I went my the instructions in the listing for fit, plus the size down, my toes bumped the end too much. Anyway, I was told to break them in so they'd be comfortable. I think they were comfortable for a total of 2-3 days and then they just offered no cushion or support. I walk a lot at work so I switched to running shoes. The people who wear these must not be walking a lot or something and after wearing them, I wonder what the draw to these really are. I did try to give them a chance and wore them for about a month before giving up.

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.

These are about the only shoes that don't hurt my heel. I can wear them all day long and no problems at all. They are wonderful. I even wear a pair as house shoes. Don't change a thing.

The fit is good. I like the color and design. Although they seem to be rather clunky and heavy. I bought them to help with planter fasciitis, so far I haven’t seen improvements.

I'm on my feet all day, so Dansko is my "go to" shoe. I love the camo pattern, it's subtle but noticeable

I've been wearing Dansko clogs for about a million years now & they never let me down. Pro tip: I often have to order 2-3 pairs of the same color/size to get the pair that fits me best. I always wear a 39, but some 39s are tighter and some are looser. I'm guessing they are hand sewn (stapled?) and therefore each shoe is slightly different. If you know your color and size, do yourself a favor and go ahead and order 2-3 to make sure you get the comfiest fit. Thank you Zappos for making returns so simple. Your customers appreciate it!

I am a solid 7.5 in shoes and the 37 fits me perfectly, lengthwise. I had to exchange the medium 37 for the wide 37 because the top of the shoe was too tight on the top of my foot. The wides make such a difference! They are no longer painful, just noticeable. I'm sure with frequent wearing they'll break in perfectly. I love the leather, the color, and the comfort! I actually prefer these professionals to the XP 2.0s, which have a padded insole. I have a pair of those as well in 37s (they don't come in wide) and I'm still stretching them out a bit on the top.

These are going to be great with my scrubs for work. The pattern will work with anything and Dansko shoes are so supportive for a long day on my feet.

Dansko Professional are my go-to shoes for any prolonged standing at work or at home. Because Dansko shoes are hand assembled, I had to order 2 of the same size to ensure both shoes fit perfectly. Had an issue with one pair where the left shoe seemed a little off (like the inside was not seated properly but more of an angle) so the arch support was too high. The other pair was perfect! As always, Zappos has the best shipping and return process.

Initially I bought a size 40 based on that was the size I wore 10 years ago. I had to return for a 39 which was perfect. I needed a pair of shoes with a good support, having had ankle surgery and arthritis. Very happy with the fit. I think they are cute too. Very comfortable. Exchanging sizes was a breeze and I actually got the replacements the same day I put the return in the mail. Super impressed by that. Thanks Zappos!
