I have worn them less than 40 times..at least it's been years, but I want the soles replaced and ofcourse I'd pay..

I had a pair of Dansko shoes and I loved them. I wore them at several times and don't want to wear them out. Then at last I wore them and went to somewhere. I got so embarrassed to find out the heels crumpling apart all over the floor. What caused that heels fallen apart? Is that came from a shoe storage that made of plastic as well as a chemical substance that effected the heels?

I have had my Dansko professionals for about a year now. I usually wear them all winter. My right shoe now feels so big that I feel like I am curling my toes when I walk. Do they stretch that much? My right foot is my larger foot. I am so not wanting this to be!
ZadZack
Member since
The Cabrio's material does stretch, but I'm not sure they stretch THAT much. In my experience they do not stretch as much as the Oiled Professional.
If you purchased from Backcountry, I suggest "chatting" with a rep. Perhaps you'd be interested in exchanging for a new pair?

These clogs got my wife through her medical residency and fellowship, both of which required her to stand and walk for hours on end. She absolutely swears by them (compared to other shoes, they helped reduce stress/pain in her feet, knees and back).
Great shoes!

Been wearing the Dansco Cabrio professionals for a few weeks now and my feet are feeling so much better. The running shoes I was wearing previously were only lasting a couple of months and at over $100 a pair, were getting way too expensive. I did have to send the first pair back because the size recommended were too small, but Backcountry was very quick @ shipping. And now I can wear my custom orthotics, too. Backcountry was very easy to work with and I loved the live chat feature!

I need advice....
I just got a really great deal on brand new Dansko Professional Clogs off eBay. When I went to try them on it was much "harder" and "stiffer" than any other shoe I have ever worn. The length is great and I understand they should slip a little on your heel...which they do (something to get used to). My concern is how tight they feel on the sides and the top. I have really high arches and I have read on other posts that could be a reason it is tight on the top of the foot. I'm hoping after "breaking in" the shoes the leather will stretch and not feel so stiff. Should I just give it time or do I need a bigger size. I bought a 38 and I normally wear 7.5-8 in everyday shoes....sometimes 8.5 depending on the cut of the shoe, but I didn't buy a 39 because I know I cannot wear size 9 shoes. Help??
ama4665375
Member since
I would definitely give them time, I have worn Danskos for 15 years and especially the professionals, they are very hard. I always thought they were too wide on the sides and top, and I have high arches too, but they will definitely get looser, to the point of probably getting too loose after a while. The Oiled clogs are softer and easier to wear imo, and the patents have been the worst for me. I stopeed buying the stiff ones, which stretched out to the point I couldnt wear them. I buy the oiled or the canvas type Danskos now, because they're still my favourite footbed of all time. So my advice is just wait a while, they shouldnt pinch after a while, depending on how often you wear them, but wear them as often as possible to break them in if you can, even inside the house.
VJ
Member since
Mae, I hope your shoes are working out for you now. I normally wear Dansko professional shoes in a 36 (I normally wear a 6-6.5). However, the 36 in the Cabrio Professional was too small (toes were crowded) and the 37 was too big (shoe came completely off when I walked). Answer- 37 narrow. Fits perfectly! It seems that this Cabrio shoe has such stiff leather, it just really hurt my little toes if I wore my "normal" size.

I just bought two pairs of danskos because they feel so comfortable when have them on. But, when I take them off at the end of the day, the sides of my left foot and even my left calf really hurts. I am worried that my calf hurts because this sounds like a position of the foot problem? Once I put on my sneakers on for a day, I am fine.

Member since
Mary, the shoes could be causing a pronation problem and putting your foot into a bad position. You could try some insoles and if they do not help I would suggest returning the shoes.
J.J. Stocking
Member since
Mary,
If this is your first pair of Dansko's it may take a little time to get use to the support. Dansko has some of the best support in the industry and some peoples body need to adjust for support. I would not recommend putting more support in the shoes as it will change support and fit. I would recommend having a shoe store stretch the leather a little on the side you are having the discomfort and see if that will put your foot into a better postion. Some peoples feet need to adjust to the fantastic support that come in the Dansko. This shoe has them most support in the industry and some people body need to adjust to this. I know because I went through it my first time.
Also the cabrio leather is great but it can take time to loosen up as it is a little stiffer at first. I hope this helps out.

really like the shoe. very comfortable. had to get used to the fact that the shoe does wear like a clog even though it has a back on it. this is my first pair of dansko shoes and i love them. i work long shifts(at least 10 hours) and my feet do not ache at the end of the day. would definitely buy another pair when it is time

I just bought my first pair of Dansko Professional clogs. I bought a size 38 because I normally wear 7-7.5. They were huge! I returned them for a size 37, which still feel very loose. I can get two fingers all the way around my toe and they are not snug at all when putting them on. I know Danskos are supposed to fit loose, but isn't that too loose? I can't believe I would need a size 36 which is recommended for sizes 5.5-6! Maybe I need a narrow version?
Switchfootte
Member since
I usually wear a 6.5 and the 36 fit perfect...37 was definitely too big for me! It did take a few weeks of constant wearing to break them in though...
ZadZack
Member since
Dansko Professionals should not be snug. There should be some movement or "slip" on the back. There should be no rubbing of your heel on the back, yet it should not be so loose that your heel completely comes out of the shoe. Figure that you should be able to start to fit your finger in between your heel and the back of the clog.
ZadZack
Member since
I like Amanda Roper's sizing tips for another user's question.
I do not think they should be snug -- particulary if they are "almost uncomfortable." A little snug by the metatarsals is okay, because that area of the clog will stretch. The clog should not be snug at the heel.
Just say no to Dansko unfortunately...

I LIVED in my Dansko clogs for the past 14 yrs -- not the same pair of course, but I could get a good 2 yrs out of a pair as they were made incredibly well. I'm on my feet all day at work, and the support and comfort these provided were worth every penny -- like as comfortable as bare feet once they were broken in. I had to purchase a new pair recently; same ones i always get. This Dansko company is insulting my intelligence; these are not even close to the same shoes. I guess the leather's been replaced by PLASTIC, because they're so stiff I got a black toenail. And that's after using liquid shoe stretch -- which only works on leather, so the plastic was immune. They pinch my feet -- all i wanna do is sit and then take them off! I never even used to think about my feet, now they're constantly bothering me at work. And the soles squeak on the hospital floors, where they used to be silent. Again, plastic. I have since heard Dansko sold the company and the shoes are now being made in China, so mystery solved. But i'm SO disappointed, I wasted $100.00, and I now need to find another daily shoe after all these years. I need an authentic company that still takes pride in their product and is not trying to cheat the loyal consumers. They used to be the best, but now honestly, these shoes are a shell of what they used to be. THE WORST!
ZadZack
Member since
You may want to look into Sanita shoes. They made the "old style" Danskos. [See my response to V Putala's question.]
RachelS
Member since
The old Dansko shoes were made by Sanita, and Sanita is now making them and selling them under their own name. Dansko had a distribution agreement with Sanita which ended in 2007. Dansko claims that they have made "improvements" over the old design (my guess is that because of the patent they couldn't exactly replicate the Sanita clogs), but according to everything I have heard, that is no where near true. I am going to stick with Sanita.
Here is some info I found about it. http://www.eurowalking.com/Dansko_Sanita_Information_s/56.htm

How long should Dansko's last? Today my sole cracked in half. I'm so sad because I don't have the money to replace them right now. When I initially bought them I found out about 6 months later that I was sold the wrong size. They really should be replaced anyway, but I'm just curious to know the lifespan of these wonderful shoes. Does anyone know if Dansko will replace shoes for this problem?
Member since
Anderea,
Im so sorry to hear about your unfortunate Dansko incident. As far as the sizing being wrong, that definitely has been known to happen given the nature of these shoes, so at least in the future you know which size you are supposed to have. As for your bigger problem of having the sole crack, that is quite unusual as far as I know. Your best bet would be to call Dansko and let them know what has happened. Most people I know have these shoes for years (5 or 6 at least) before the start to see any kind of wear on them.
Just to give you a hand, here is the number to Dansko's customer service: 1-800-326-7564
Hope that helps.

I believe long periods of high heat weaken the initegrity of dansko soles (and other brands that use similar 'rubber' material). I sold two pairs of dansko professionals that arrived to buyers with soles coming to pieces, and both were sold in the hottest of summer. Also, I bought a pair of Romika shoes, left them in the car during August for about five hours...the soles literally crumbled apart the same days. Solution: never expose those shoes to very high heat for extended periods. I consider this a flaw in the manufacture of those shoes, and the sellers should warn prospective buyers.
Karol
Member since
I love Dansko's but unfortunately I have had two separate soles crack in half. Not sure how long I had them, several years, but I am disappointed this has happened twice. This has also happened to my sister. I have never left my Dansko's out in the heat and we do not have hot summers here.

No shoes should fall apart when they are new or old. The materials that the manufacturer is using is cheap materials. They should have more pride in their products.

Is the Dansko clog just like the professional Sanita clog they look alike except the heel on the Sanita does not seem so rounded.
ZadZack
Member since
In short, yes. Back in the day, Sanita manufactured for Dansko. Older Danskos have a patent number on the sole -- these are the Sanita-made ones. When the agreement between the two companies ended, Dansko made some minor changes to the design and began making their own. Sanitas are, basically, like "old-style" Danskos.

Great site! I'm pretty disappointed in my new Dansko Patent Leathers. I wear a U.S. Women's 11 and a Birkenstock 42. When both I and my sister (who has a narrow-normal width size 11 foot) tried on the 42 Dansko in the store, we could not even squeeze halfway into it. So I ordered the size 43 patent. It seems to be long enough (toes don't rub up against the front, and there's enough of a gap at the heel to fit a small finger.) Unfortunately, it confines the tops and sides of my feet, especially on the left foot. I have worn them twice now, for a few hours each time. I find that I dread putting them on. It's a chore to wear them.
Do you think it is possible to get the sides stretched at a shoe repair shop? (Is this even possible for patent or for Danskos generally?) I don't think sizing up will be the answer because I already seem to have enough length. I want to love them! Thank you.
anniebro521374
Member since
I had the same problem with mine. My left foot runs almost a half size larger than my right, so the one shoe fit really tight over the top of my foot (but the next size up would have been too long in length). I ended up buying a shoe stretcher from a shoe repair shop, and stretching out the top portion. It took a few times, and I REALLY had to crank the stretcher (and let them stretch overnight), but now they fit great. I would recommend doing that.
Debra
Member since
Write your answer here...I had the same problem with mine. The new clogs rub the top on both feet. Red irritation develops. I have 3 pairs of older Dansko's which I love. I felt the inside of the upper part and they are made differently. I read that the new Dansko's are made in China, and that the construction is different.
Sanita Clogs are using the old patent of Dansko and are made in Denmark.
We tried stretching them. I may have to do this more. I'm really disappointed. I bought two pairs and don't want irritated feet. Ouch.
Monika
Member since
Same here, maybe it's the hight of your arches? I only tried mine once, took them to work (what was I thinking??) It seemed like the length was perfect, I have narrow feet size 6, but really high arch. Thank God I had a pair of other shoes in my trunk, I was in tears! I thought I'll try to break them and kept walking for several hours I thought I can do this, it'll get better, but I finally could not stand it anymore. Oh, my feet hurt, the arches were sore and top of feet and toes were numb for three days!! That's it for me.
