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!!

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.
