I own a couple of Dansko shoes and LOVE THEM! When I'm on my feet all day and wearing Dansko shoes, my feet and back don't hurt. They are SO comfortable. I also love Chaco shoes! I bought mine on Amazon when they had a clearance sale.
I find Danskos more comfortable than going barefoot or wearing athletic shoes. They have the best arch support of any shoes I have ever had. It is very important, though, to go to a store and have them fitted correctly.
I have 3 pairs.
2 pair of the open back clog and 1 pair of the closed back clog
they are very comfortable, although the closed pair did start to bother the top of my foot last time I wore them.
dansko are all I have been wearing in my nursing jobs for at least 12 years now.
I've had two pair, and friends have some, too. My friends love them. I have a weird foot, so they don't fit my arch quite right. Too far forward in my normal size, and too far back in the next size up. But they are very well made and comfy for most people.
These have been recommended to me but everytime I've gone to get fitted, the top of the shoe is too wide/high for me (if that makes sense??). I can't get a good fit on the shoe portion and I don't even have an overly narrow foot--it just doesn't have a lot of fat on it.
I need to replace my pair. I've had them for 9 years and they still look like new-- there is still tread and the insides look great. But, the bottom of one is cracked and my foot gets wet. (It was not from wear, I stepped on a nail.)
I found a style that looked similar to the ones I have, but when I tried them on in the size I have and one size larger they were very uncomfortable and felt too tight. I can't find any other stores that carry them. I guess I will have to try online.
I am very cheap and would never spend that much on a pair of shoes. (A friend gave me the pair I have.) But I figure if they will last me for a decade than I'll get my money's worth out of them.
