Great Shoe!
I cannot overstate how comfortable these shoes are. Once the perfect fit is found, they are amazing. The arch of the foot is well-supported, and pressure is taken off the lower back. I am an RN in an emergency department (on my feet all day) and I am so thankful coworkers convinced me to try them. My lower back consistently hurt after a 12 hour shift, but no longer.They run slightly on the small side (at least the open-back models), so order accordingly.

I know i just got them today but I have to aay I am impressed.
Just got these and when I put them on it was like WOW. To be honest in never cared for clogs/mules until now. They are very light do not pinch anywhere and walking in then is like nothing I have experienced and i wear minimalist shoes like FIT KICKS or Yoga shoes that have no insole. Wearing clogs and mules is similar to that I think but on an entirely different level. Tip when you order a pair get some sno-proff or Mink Oil and seal them and reseal after cleaning them with saddle soap. I have been doing that to all my boots and they are holding up very well after 25 years. And yes every guy needs to have a pair.

Perfect. But a comment about sizing
I have been wearing these for over two decades as an ER doctor. But over those years Dansko sizing has varied a bit. Clogs should fit firmly. Heel will meet end of clog.My feet are a very normal size 10. Or a size 43 in European sizing. Almost all shoes I have purchased in that size fit perfectly. Last Dansko clogs I bought a year ago in size were smaller than prior years, or even decades. They fit fine barefoot. But at work I wear fairly heavy socks for extra comfort. A 43 was too small for socks.This time I bought what Amazon page called about 10.5. This is a 44 Dansko size. These fit perfectly with heavier socks. The other pair of 43’s are now just my summer barefoot kick arounds.If you wear clogs you will understand. So if wearing thicker socks, go a size up.

They run small, really small.
Size runs very very small. What should have normally fit me was small not only in length but width. Sending them back and trying again. Aside from the size issue, they look to be sturdy and well manufactured. I will provide further updates on this review once I get the correct size and get some time on the floor.Update: I went ahead and jumped the gone on this one and went two sizes larger than I would normally where and it is a perfect fit. I wore these shoes for the first time last night on the floor. They provide great arch support and it really feels like there is a nice pocket for the first metatarsal head. These shoes feel like they post to neutral, with out any emphasization on pronation or supination. So far, so good.

MS3 and the dogs were howling
Medical student in third year rotations, and I was tired of my feet hurting. Between rounds, OR time, clinic, I was in my feet non-stop. I’ve always worn boots, OnCoulds, and recently, Hokas. The OnClouds and Hokas are great but the foam just isn’t designed to stand up to long lengths of time in your feet, and because it’s not very dense, it gives out too quickly.I’ve always thought these clogs were pretty ugly, but I was to the point I didn’t care. Honestly instant love. They footbed is dense and heavy, which initially seems like it may be uncomfortable, but as you wear them they soften some but still provide incredible support. I’m sold.This review was NOT sponsored and I paid full price for my Danskos.

Manufacturer's sizing problems? Seller is aware of it
my shoes were purchased new from the primary supplier listed on Amazon (when you click on 'Add to Cart', those are the people i dealt with. if you click on 'Used' and hunt for a bargain you are dealing with Amazon resellers)the following one line email message was sent to me this morning : "We apologize about the sizing charts made by the manufacture [sic], As a seller, We want to fix this problem and see what we can do to change your opinion on this one star review. Please advise us and let us know"my public reply follows :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------while i am glad to hear that you "want to fix this problem", an apology does nothing to address the situation for current, and future, customersthere is one obvious step that could be proactively taken until this sizing problem is corrected -- post sizing information on Amazon which corresponds to the goods being shipped, thereby allowing customers to select the correct sizeyou are aware of the fact that the manufacturer is shipping merchandise not conforming to international shoe size measurement standards, and yet are still accepting orders and allowing shipments to proceed ... that is unconscionable. this course of non-action is guaranteed to create dissatisfied customerssince ~90% of customers will never complain, my less than complimentary statements will have to remain as a warning to others who are unaware of such disregard for their podiatric well-being. speaking of which, is your firm insured against medical claims? the manufacturer must be, right ? if the time required were available to me my personal preference would be to simply file a class action lawsuitin closing allow me to assure any interested party that redaction of my accurate comments is not for sale : if you are worried about your sales i suggest you * take action * to remedy the situation----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------you, dear Amazon customer, have been warned. the manufacturer has nothing to do with the Amazon retail listing ; they are simply not sizing their shoes correctly.. [edit] now the company is sending me emails telling me to remove this review because the manufacturer in China. is causing the size problem ... if they worked on customer satisfaction rather than harassing customers and. trying to control feedback they might get somewhere ! sadly, even their coercion falls short and finger pointing. resolves nothing.

You can’t go wrong with this shoes
These shoes are great! This is my third pair and still love them. Very comfortable to wear them. Now I don’t walk a lot with them but I I’m standing for several hours on them without issues.

They fit small. Order larger than you think.
I have not used them in real life because I am hoping to return them to get a bigger size. I have worn 12.5 or 13 sized shoes for the last 40 years. These are listed as 12-13. They are small, too small to wear for me. The next size up is listed as size 13-14, which I have never worn in other shoes, but I am hoping to swap these ones for larger sized version. They seem to be well-made and I want them, but in a size that fits. These fit tight and are smaller than size 12-13 shoes I have worn for decades.
