I am a student physician and as such am on my feet all day! These are the cure to sore feet and a sore back! Posture is very important in good posture and these support good posture. I absolutely love them! One tip... Buy a size up if you have tall feet as they really don't stretch as most leather shoes do.
5th pair, supah comfy!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
just ordered my 5th pair. I am on my feet all day, everyday, and swear by these! i keep two pair in good condition and alternate between them so they can air out, etc. never had a problem with them! i have had a pair of sanita ( a competitor) and feel that the build and materials of a dansko is of higher quality. Definitely worth trying a pair on or ordering two sizes if unsure. I get about two years out of a pair before I replace them, mainly because of how gross they look on the outside! If you have a higher arch, this may not be the shoe for you. Again, worth trying a pair on before hand.
Not so great

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.
So comfy, but...

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.
Lots of variation in a size 42
a_r_korry1625343
Member since
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.
Love those Dansko's.... mostly

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.
UGH! not a fan...

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!
super comfortable

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.
Hurt A Lot

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.
Awesome and Ouch
Charlie P.
Member since
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.

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.

Are the shoes sold here normal width? I'm expecting that they are, however, I thought I'd ask to be sure.

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.
Too tight in the instep
spam898959
Member since
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.

Dansko has changed the Professional for the better. If you look at the old manufacture and the new you will notice that the new is wider for more stability. They also added more rocker bottom to improve the movement of the shoe. Internally they added more cushioning under the heel for more all day comfort. The support is the same as the old manufacture but with much needed improvements to provide a more comfortable and more stable shoe. They still build them in the same manner that they always have been, Still hand made with the same materials just in a different factory. Danskos main focus is providing the best made product the can for the customer.
NOT the old Danskos!! Buyer Beware!!

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!!

The Best Shoe for Longs Days on your feet

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.
Buy these shoes
johnlukeva2379482

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.

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
Not Dansko-ing with the Stars

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.
