Customer Reviews Dansko Professional

I had a pair of Dansko professional clogs for 4 years and the sole broke and outside leather tore on one shoe. I debated about getting another pair because, for me, they were not the miracle shoe many others described them to be in regards to leg and back pain relief. However, they weren’t any worse (and probably slightly better) than the sneakers I’d wear with the bonus that they lasted 4 years as my primary work footwear! I ended up buying 2 pairs! I have to size up significantly in Dansko to get the classic heel sliding you want in a clog. My instep is very high and I have wide feet too, but no other foot issues like bunions or planters fasciitis to compare comfort. They fit as expected for this brand. I usually wear a 10 in most brands, but in Dansko, I need a 42 (11.5 - 12)! As far as style, they’re clogs, they have the classic bulbous clog toe - all the more room for my toes to be free.

I already own the 41s in the regular width. Although they are comfortable and I love them, I thought the wides might give my bunions a little room to breathe. Unfortunately the wides don't feel all that much wider than the regular width. Additionally, this is literally the only shoe I have ever worn that was uncomfortable on my instep. I hoped the wides might come with a higher instep, but are just as restrictive as the regular width. Back they go.

I am new to Dansko, so wore them around the house several days to see if they would be comfortable for my teaching days where I put in more than 20,000 steps. They are gorgeous shoes, but one of my big toes got really sore from hitting the top of the shoe. So, I need to return these.

As comfy as they were, the honey is actually yellow. I returned but a different color.

I love Dansko Pros and was looking for a good color to wear when I am not at work. This wasn't it. The toe, which appears a bit darker than the rest of the shoe in the picture, is quite a bit darker and just looks (to my way of thinking( weird. I also think that the gray-is color of the uppers does not work well with the warm brown of the outer sole/platform. Otherwise, just great.

I wish it was a solid red. They look worn out.

Not sure which location this pair was made at but it is fully a size smaller than my other 39s. And the instep is very low. Will be returning for different size.

great shoes! I am an RN in the ICU and I they help me get through a 12 hour shift without any foot, leg, or back pain. I sized up from my last pair, and I'm so glad I did! Was able to wear them without the painful "breaking in" phase. One thing to note, is that there is a much more profound color difference in real life. The toes of the shoe are much darker than the rest of the shoe--not as blended as the picture makes it look.

I wish these were a little truer to US sizes. The 43 was just a bit too short to really be a size 12. I wish Dansko would up the women's sizes by one size! So many good styles. Back to the men's department for me. :( super sad face.

It’s very cute but so different than my normal sneakers. I am not sure if they will work for me.

I have been searching for some brown flats that I can wear to work - and had ordered some Danskos in the past - my usual size (10!) - but they felt super tight across the top of my foot. My sister said I was supposed to have some movement in the heel - which I did not in this size - so ordered a size larger. They are as comfortable as everyone you know says they are. I have big, wide-ish feet, and all other "flats" haven't panned out. Thank you Zappos for your return policy!

I absolutely love clogs. I love the leather and color of these clogs. Width and arch support too. But there is something with Dansko always running short. I bump up my size and still my longer second toe hits the ends. I wish I could wear these.

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.

I have recently discovered Dansko and I’m in love. I have several pair - bootie and sneaker and now the clog. I purchased from a walking store in the mall but wasn’t happy w color so I bought a pair here to compare, it arrived quickly, but they had an odd paint/polish smell to them when I opened the box and they were so shiny. The leather was much smoother then pair I had which I actually liked, but the smell just made me wonder about them. They also were way too big. I’m always a 39 and the 39 from the mall store fit but these did not. I did the “kick” test as they recommend and the one shoe flew right off my foot. Although I liked the smoother leather I did not like the smell and they were sized weird. I kept the ones from the mall store. Ive bought other dansko from Zappos and have been very happy, maybe this was an anomaly. For the shoe itself, very comfortable. I wear without socks. Zappos return policy is great, order two pair so you can compare sizes since Dansko tends to differ across each one

For clunky looking shoes, their look (I tried the Quartz) was pretty snazzy. Unfortunately, they were way smaller than anticipated and there are none available in the next size up. I wear size 12, typically a medium (average) width and I had to wedge my feet into these things (a sure sign they weren't going to work). They were a bit heavier than I hoped too. So I'm going to try the XP 2.0 version in the largest womens size offered. I read other reviews that said the 2.0 was a little lighter.

I wear an 8 1/2 or 9. I ordered these in a 39 and they were very tight on the top of my foot and too short. I had to return. Super pretty though.

I think it fits well but runs slightly big.

Typical, professional Dansko- leather/hard bottom. I ended up keeping a Sanita smart step which has - wait for it- padding in the bottom. I’ve worn clogs for years and I’m wondering why they are just starting to do this (Dansko has a very expensive version too). The color/leather on these were great- a nice soft looking neutral gray. In general I felt the Dansko clogs are bigger than the same sized Sanita ones.

I’ve had these before and I tried a few on at the store before ordering these and find that the sizes vary wildly. I ordered two 37s in different colors and they were about half size off. Not enough to warrant a new size since these are loose fitting shoes, but visibly noticeable.

These clogs are adorable! However, I wear a 41 narrow in the pro clogs and was hoping I could get away with a regular width. Unfortunately, I was swimming in these.

After years of playing with the idea of treating myself to a pair of danskos I finally caved. Reason being is that I had extensive foot and leg surgery and my doctor kept telling me I need to buy a pair for work if I intended to be able to go back to my long hours as a nurse. I just bought them and honestly have not worn them to work yet, as I go back next week after 4 months, but am wearing them in the house to get used to them. So far ....so good. Definitely not like a regular shoe if that is what you are used to wearing. Yes they are big in the heel and need to get used to the heel moving up and down and trying not to hold on to the shoes with your toes. Actually read an article on the proper fit of danskos which helped me. Heel moves, toes can wiggle and if I lift my foot and jingle it around the shoe does not fall off. I'm hoping they help me return to my job and I can be one of the many people swearing by them.

Beautiful coloring. I felt these ran 1/2 size larger than Professional I have had before. Size 41 has always been just right but these in 41 were too large for me. I wear a wide and these felt true to width. I gave 3 stars to style because, le's face it, Dansko would not win any place on the runway. But the comfort can't be bet and for me that is better than style. Zappos makes buying, trying on and returning easy. Thank you Zappos.

The shade of the toe is darker and not uniform throughout.

I love Dansko Professional Clogs. I have flat feet/fallen arches and these shoes have great support. I think the patent leather uppers are harder and not quite as comfortable as the oiled leathers, but as far as support when on my feet all day, they are my go to shoe. I own several pair of Dansko Professionals.
