Dansko Professional Oiled Casual Clog - Men's

dansko is a danish company that is strictly export. i lived in denmark for 2 years and they dont even carry them there. it's 2 words put together in danish. "dansk" and "sko" which translates into danish shoe. they are super comfy and great for yard work or running to the store in your pj's...i prefer the wooden soles to all of em. feel great on the arches.

I'm not sure if the fact that Sanita's used to make these and now they don't makes the difference, or if they just aren't for everyone, but I could not see getting comfort out of them. Maybe I will get some from the Danish makers next time. I have a pair of Alegrias for work (hospital nursing), and they win over these hands down.

Ive been a chef for ten years and danskos are all ill wear. Im on probably my 8th or ninth pair. They take some getting used to and breaking in but the literally become an extension of your feet. My feet never hurt, legs never ache and, especially important, my back never hurts because they keep your posture correct. They are also surprisingly very nonslip.
cons: I rarely get more than a year plus out of them but i work 70-80 hrs. a week.

I think I may have bought them too small so make sure you get the size right. after wearing them for two days I realized they pinched a nerve in the top of my foot turning the top of my foot numb. The rocker sole is awesome I just wish I could wear them more. I am a waiter so I am very active in them every night. I am wearing them around to try to stretch them out before I start working in them again so we will see how that goes. Other than being very tight on the top of my foot they are comfy.

Very good looking shoes, the nonslip seems to work really well. My biggest complaint is the amount of break in needed. I bought a size up like they recommend but they were still to tight on the top of my foot to the point where a nerve got pinched. I am currently stretching them with cans so we'll see how that works.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I stand on my feet 10-12 hrs a day in a professional kitchen. The only shoes I swear by.

BUT, ...these are not the same shoe from a few years back. These are not the original quality Danish shoes. Dansko split with their manufacturer, Sanita, & now have the shoes outsourced(China, I think). These shoes do not last as long as they used to.
I have had the both soles split from side to side on 2 different pairs in less than a year( 3 months & 5 months apart).

I give it 4 stars only due to Backcountry.com. Their customer service & guarantee policy is the best around. Each time they have made it right without any problems.
Thank you backcountry! You guys rock.

Dansko pros get more comfortable with wear. Assuming you buy 1/2 size up from your normal shoe size, they'll start a little snug with medium socks; they break in, and after a few days you'll want to never take them off.

Looks? They're clogs, people. They're functional. Looks are in the eye of the beholder, and, unless you're a doctor or chef, not the usual type of shoe. I think they look good; but your mileage may vary. Bottom line: If you care that much about how you look, go for style, not comfort and practicality.

Final note: They're especially great for airline travel, especially long-haul flights where you absolutely don't want snug lace-ups.

Bottom line: love the shoes, great Backcountry service (as always), need to try them on locally to find a pair of 42s that fits.

These would have been my 3rd pair of Dansko's in size 42 that I've had. And I've bought them all online from various retailers. This pair was just too tight. I tried wearing them at work for 3 weeks hoping that they'd stretch just enough so that my feet would stop getting numb from arterial smooshing. Nope. I then ordered another pair from different online retailer that had a brick and mortar store locally that I could return to if these didn't work out. Those were too big. Go figure!

So I'm going to return those locally and keep trying on pairs till I find one that is just right. Strange. I wonder if this has anything to do with Dansko changing their factory from Poland to China.

I have 4 pairs of Danskos. One pair are the professional oiled in brown that I bought in early 2007. They are super wonderful and comfortable. So I bought some black ones this past Christmas. ('08) BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME SHOES!! THEY WERE TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!! I noticed my old ones were made in Poland whereas my new ones were made in China. So I called Dansko and found out that they CHANGED THEIR MANUFACTURERS!!! The shoes are not the same. I am sadly returning these shoes. :(

I also found out that their old manufacturers are now selling the old Dansko clog under a brand called SANITA. I'm getting ready to buy some Sanitas. I wish Back Country carried Sanita so that I could buy them from them. They are a great company and I hope to be a continued customer. Thank you!!

Well, I've had them for years. And I finally ordered another pair, after my first pair had lasted since the last Bush administration. When I ordered the same size this time, though, I discovered they'd added reinforcement over the arch. The only problem: where once there was a little 'give' when putting them on, now there's none.

The upside: the clogs would probably last until 2029 before blowing out.

The downside: if the clogs don't fit out of the box, they might never fit.

Therefore: pick your size wisely.

This will feel weird the first couple hours, but know that your foot is getting use to the shoes. Can't take them off, Im a 10.5 and I wear a 44, know they will fit a tad big, but that is for comfort and normal, if they get scuffed either deal with it or rub in some lotion. And if they do come in the box a little scuffed try the lotion before fretting too much.

Although they look great, these shoes hurt the crap out of my feet! Not the heel, where one would expect, but I had pain at where the top of the shoe hit the top of my foot. They were so rigid--it felt like it was grinding the bone. I've heard other people say they love them, but they are just not for me. Too bad!

these things are awesome.... im on my feet all day in the ER and im not as tired, and my feet dont hurt as much as they used to.

i started wearing them for errands too since they're nice

even though they look plain, their usefulness is unmatched.

I got these clogs for my boyfriend and he totally loves them. He even puts on clean socks when he wears them!!!

I found these clogs to be too tight across the instep. They never loosened up sufficiently to be comfortable. I would up buying a pair of Sanita Professional clogs (the company that made Dansko's on contract until recently), they were comfortable from the start.

Long days on the dogs, and never have I found a shoe that I have been so into. I wear these clogs all the time! My feet hardly hurt after a long day of standing. The fit took a day because I am used to tight-fitting running shoes.

I am a 10.5 and I bought a 10.5. Perfect fit. A little loose is just how you want them.

The weight took a day to become normal, and the snap roll of the ankle keeps me from running in them, but otherwise they are the best work shoe I have ever owned. And they look great!

I brought two pair of your clogs to work in one for myself the other for my boyfriend on looks and the fact that your heel comes out of the shoe as you walk he did not like , so I returned his, it took a minute for me to become use to mine but I love them, the only problem is that when I wear them with thicker socks to keep my ankles warm the shoe is to tight

My wife has worn these for years and sworn by them. I figured they looked a little metrosexual but who cares if they are as good as everyone says. I love them! great for standing for hours.

This is my second pair of "Dansko Oiled Casual Clogs" and it may be me, but with both pairs one or the other of my ankles buckles unexpectedly every once in a while. The clogs are comfortable, but I wouldn't risk wearing them out of the house and won't buy another pair.

danskos are a must for those on their feet all day. however the dansko sports
even with their quirky looks were much more comfortable than the professionals.

Ok, manly men. We can all agree that these are a bit "metro." However, I finally found a shoe that I can rock all day in the concrete jungle & not have my pupps barking at the end of the day. Also, if you live anywhere near the mountains these are a must have for all occasions. These go great with brown pants & a windproof fleece. Don't balk at the price, these will last longer than any other piece of footwear you own. Great for going to the bar in the winter, leave those dirty hiking boots at home.
