I have owned Dansko clogs for years. This was the 4th pair of Professional's I've purchased in over 15 years. As soon as I put this shoe on, I noticed something was not right. They were much tighter, and my toe touched the end, which it doesn't do in my other 3 pairs.... My first thought was that I accidentally ordered a Narrow, but this wasn't the case. I compared them to all my other pairs, and just couldn't understand the difference. Then, after a google search, I discovered that in 2008, Dansko started being manufactured by someone else, the original company was Sanita, apparently, and they sell the same clogs, same name almost, and according to reviews, feel like the OLD Dansko's. You can tell a new, vs. Old Dansko because the original, made by Sanita, has a square around the Dansko name on the bottom of the clog, and a patent number. The new ones, do not. Low and behold, mine, do not. They are going back, and I've ordered a pair of Sanita's instead.

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.

I also returned a pair, and also have worn Dansko's for years before this. My returned pair were substantially too small for the indicated size
