Description
View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)- Your heel should lift up and down with every step, so if you are a half size, you may be more comfortable sizing up (for example, if you are a US 7.5, you may be more comfortable in an EU size 38).
- Dansko's flagship classic for all-day support and unmistakable style has taken on a critical roll of providing comfort to those in the nursing, hospitality and other occupational fields.
- Available in a variety of high quality leather uppers that follow the natural contours of the foot.
- Box leather is ideal for the workplace environments with wet, acidic or greasy conditions. It has a smooth, clean finish with the natural irregularities removed. It is the easiest leather to maintain, and can be wiped clean with soap and water.
- Instep collar is generously padded.
- Roomy Thermoplastic toe box provides durable reinforcement and toe protection while allowing toes to move comfortably.
- Non-allergenic vegetable tanned leather sockliner wrapped around synthetic foam absorbs and evaporates perspiration.
- Protective Polyethylene heel counter allows the heel to move up and down when walking. Also provides lateral stability and acts as a natural shoe horn.
- PVC inner frame provides stability and reduces torque and pronation.
- Polyurethane outsole provides shock absorption and flexibility, withstands surfaces of extreme heat and cold, and protects feet, legs and back during long hours of standing or walking.
- Rocker bottom propels the foot forward when walking.
- Dansko Stapled clog outsoles are designed to be suitably slip-resistant in workplace environments where excesses of vegetable oils and animal fats are present. Slip-resistant tests have been carried out by SATRA, the world's leading research and technology organization for the footwear industry.
- Dansko's Stapled Clog Collection proudly carries the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.

What can I say? These shoes are the bomb. Are they hugely sexy and chic? No. Are they incredibly comfortable and perfect for travel? YES. These are my go-to vacation shoes. I can slip them off at airport security, they have excellent arch support, and I've worn them walking for hours everywhere from Amsterdam to Orlando. No breaking in; no blisters. So much better looking than the dreaded sneakers, and since they have a little heel I can wear my longer jeans with them.

The shoes are too tight...though they are the size I wear, they are too tight and uncomfortable...I bought them because they are supposed to be so comfortable, but these are terribly disappointing.

Not the most attractive shoe by any means but they cured my extremely painful plantar fasciitis. If your feet hurt, these are for you. Luckily I was professionally fitted, otherwise I would have gone too small. The heel should be very loose for a proper fit in these shoes. I wear an 8.5-9 in most brands, and in these I wear a 40. My only regret is that I didn't get the oiled style, instead I got the regular black professionals. Less shiny would look better in my opinion.

I am a size 11 and a 41 was way too small and very narrow for my foot sending back!

For those who don't understand how they size, I was told by the live person and you should be able to feel your foot move inside them, and your ankle should slip up and down a bit. I wear a 9 in women and I wear a 40. These fit perfect. I wear them all day to work and school and I find all I want to wear on the weekend is my Danskos!

I bought the Pro years ago, and now they are getting worn out. My bunions have grown, so I tried the Wide. The Wides definitely run longer than the Regulars. Thus, in comparison to my current Danskos, a size down in a Wide is virtually identical in size to a larger Regular, maybe just a wee bit shorter. The Wide is definitely much longer. I can slip in a finger at the heel of my Regulars, but there is room for a big man's thumb at the end of my Wides. The Box finish seems to run smaller than the Cabrio as well. If you seem to be in between two sizes, check out the Wides. I am still trying to decide whether to keep this pair and only wear them with thick socks. I hate to give up on Danskos altogether, as the support takes pressure off my bunions.
