Customer Reviews Dansko Professional Patent

Best work shoe - Though I didn't get the patent (got the regular leather)I thought I'd write the review. I am a flight attendant and on my feet all day, plus the added discomfort of compression/decompression on my feet. This is the third shoe I've tried for work and the last. It is simply the best!! However, it did fit about a half size too small, but I knew this before ordering. Normally wear an 8, but ordered a 39. Perfect!

One Awesome Shoe!!! I ordered the Dansko's Professional Cabrio shoe for work. Many of my co-workers bought them and raved about them. I started to wear mine to work, and boy they hurt my feet. The arch was so high, I thought I was going to have to return them. But, they hurt only for the first week or so. Now, they are the most comfortable shoe I own. I would suggest anyone that works in the health care field that are on their feet all the time, buy this shoe. PS....My back pain is gone, too!!!

Wonderful Dansko - This Dansko clog is my favorite yet! The fit is true to size and they feel wonderful. Probably my fourth or fifth pair of the same style of clog from Dansko, but my first patent leather pair. Will definitely buy again! PS...Seems to be a bit more narrower than my previous pairs. Could be that they are just new. They fit perfectly!

Comfort zone - I use my Dansko's for work. I am a bartender. Usually I am 8-9 hours on my feet per shift. I carry a lot of weight. Cases of wine, beer etc. It is important to wear a shoe that will not slip on a greasy surface like the kitchen. This shoe is the best for that purpose. On the down side, it is not a shoe that offers instant comfort. It has to be worn regularly, and stretched, and molded to the foot. It is a hard shoe on the top. Therefore it takes time until it becomes super comfortable. I love mine.

Leather Upper Cuff - I am a self proclaimed "shoe snob," and I love these shoes; have four pair in different colors. However, I have a very high arch that interferes with the unforgiving upper leather cuff. Initially I soaked them in water and wedged a can of soup in the shoe to stretch the cuff. No luck; it just won't stretch. I tried a larger size. No luck; they just fell off my feet. Also, Dansko does not offer the shoes in .5 sizes. Perhaps .5 bigger would have made a difference. The cuff sits on top of the bone in my foot just above my arch. It's constantly bruised from the cuff, but I've learned to live with it because the discomfort outweighs the two inches I get from the height of the heel, and the stability in my step. I work in an ER, and walk about 8 miles a shift.

Dansko Professional Cabrio/Patent - I would definitely buy more Danskos. Great shoe.

Great shoe!! I have had these shoes for a while now, and walk in them all day as my job requires a lot of walking. They look great with dress pants, and my feet are comfortable all day. Love the patent leather; its a very good grade and this looks and feels good on your feet. You'll be happy with these!

My favorite shoes now! These shoes are absolutely exquisite! They fit a little smaller than an open back clog, so if you are a half size-order up. They are elegant, fun, sassy and very unique. Isn't that what life is all about? These shoes even help you soft tread over the rough spots!

I'm a convert - I never expected this shoe to be so comfortable. A friend wears Danskos, and I liked the look, but I never dreamed what great shock-absorbing capacity the soles would have, or that such a rigid and unpadded shoe could feel so close to barefoot. And there was no break-in time- they felt great from day 1. I've always been a fan of soft, sport-designed shoes, and never really could stand any dressy or formal shoes. The Cabrios aren't good for long walks, or for walking on rough ground, but my feet have never felt so good after a day at the office before. I'm very glad I bought them, and I feel so tall and svelte when I wear them. I've gotten a ton of compliments.

Minnie Mouse Shoes, I love 'em! They became instant favorites. Good for standing all day and walking for miles. I take them on weekend trips as my only shoes. My feet are huge and so are the clogs and yet they still look fairly flattering... strangely cute, especially with a skirt and panty hose. I love how they are easy to slip on and off but you don't have to work to keep them in place. Don't buy them too small. They should feel like flip-flops with lots of wiggle room. They are so solidly built that your feet will give in before they do, so if your feet don't love them immediately, send 'em back!

I LOVE Dansko clogs - I wore the Dansko Professional Oiled clogs for 2 years (summer and winter! To work, hiking around Europe, you name it) and they still looked very good. I bought the Patent ones just to try a different look. VERY comfortable, they look great with just about every type of outfit and are great in all types of weather.

Best Work Shoe - I have worked in health care for 30 years and these are, by far, the best work shoes for walking on concrete floors. I have tried traditional nursing shoes, athletic shoes and even "earth shoes" and nothing compares with these. They must be well made because I bought my last pair 5 years ago and now they are my gardening shoes. Can't say enough good things about these Danskos...how about hot pink next!

I just received these. I wear a size 10 in most everything except Bass Weejuns (9-1/2)and ordered a 41 first based on some reviews I read - I swam in those! Ordered a 40 and it seems much better - heel moves up and down without rubbing, a little short in the toe box for me(have the same problem sometimes with other shoes) and a little tight across the top of my foot. I'm hoping they will stretch a little with breaking in. Cordovan is a great, versatile color for year round. Hoping for the best - I really like the look of the clog - makes your feet look smaller.

Dansko Professional - These shoes are great - I've had surgery on the joints in my foot, and these are the first shoes that really allow me to walk comfortably for long distances, without being sore afterward. I'll be getting more of these! The size seems a little tricky, though - I wear a 9M, and find the 40 just a little big, so I'll probably try a 39 next time.

returns - I just wanted to say thank you so much for the quick return, I mean talk about custumer service! I will forever recomend this company!

Relief! I've been having major trouble with my feet. I'm a hairdresser and the surgeon recommended the Danskos. Best thing that's happened to my little feet in a long time. Thanks.

Great Shoe - The best shoe for my busy life style. I feel good and look good all day long. When my feet are happy, I'm happy.

Tighter Fit than other Stapled Clogs - I purchased the shiny black patent leather Stapled Professional Clogs because I wanted a "dressy" clog. Due to my many foot and leg problems Dansko Clogs with their great arch support are about the only shoes I can successfully wear. However, the shiny patent ones are indeed a tighter fit than the latigo (my other two pair are latigo.) I am hoping they will stretch out and be more comfortable as I LOVE the look of them. They are so much fun to wear and look so great dressed up or down.

Good shoe - These shoes are definitely worth the money. Just remember that you are buying a clog, so they will fit a little differently if you are not used to wearing clogs. They aren't exactly the height of fashion, but the comfort is well worth the money. I will definitely be buying more Dansko shoes.

A good shoe is a world of difference! The Dansko cabrio is perfect if you stand on your feet all day. I am finding that it is not as nice as walking shoes for walking, of course, but my feet didn't hurt at all after a day's work. I think it is the perfect combination of style and supportive comfort! Zappos has been a truly pleasant shopping experience!

Cordovan Cabrios - I love the color of the Cordovan Cabrios! They are great for both black and lighter pants. I wear a size 10 in all of my shoes, and I wear a 41 in the Dansko.

I love these shoes. I purchased a pair after talking with my neighbor who has worn Dansko for several years. I usually have to wear an arch support with all my shoes but I don't have to with these. I'm just trying to figure out what color to buy next. Love Zappos customer service, quick delivery and easy returns.

Pleasantly Surprised - I was a bit aprehensive about ordering these shoes on line because I wasn't sure about the fit. I am happy to report that the shoes are extremely comfortable, look great and I even got a compliment from a man I didn't even know. I would order from Zappos again in a New York minute!

It doesn't get any better than this - I had a friend talk me into these when i was pregnant. That was 2 children ago, and I have worn the shoes almost every day for 2 1/2 years. I am into fashion, but they are becoming popular, especially in Colorado! They are the most comfortable shoes ever.
