Anne from northern Wisconsin - I am a RN working 12 hour shifts and these shoes are wonderful! I prefer slip-on’s with an open back-these feel as if they have an open back-You really don’t notice them on your feet! I liked them so well-I purchased a 2nd pair in another color. Cudos for Zappos in the best shipping and return policy on the net.
Good ones! I work in TV production so the thought of nurses shoes didn’t even cross my mind. I run around making things happen and my feet always seem to suffer. Until one day someone mentioned Danskos. I researched and investigated these ‘proffessional’ shoes. I found out that doctors, nurses and even chefs swear by them. So why not try them. I’m sure they are on their feet me then I. So I went to Zappo’s and bought them, which was easy as pie. I love them! They feel a bit heavy until you get used to them, but your feet will thank you as you round your 14th hour of work. I say get ‘em. 3 out of 4 doctors and 1 TV producer agree, Danskos are good ones to invest in.
Have been wanting these shoes forever..finally indulged and have no regrets!! This shoe is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. They cradle your feet and though they are a closed back clog, they feel like a tradition style clog, but stay on your feet better. I wore them all day to work right after I bought them and had no problems, now I want them in more colors..I honestly could wear them everyday. If you are tired of uncomfortable shoes, I highly recommend BCBG Elicia Flat Shoes.
Can’t believe I waited so long to get these! Like everyone else told me, these are incredibly comfortable shoes. I see now why so many teachers wear them. These are the first shoes that I really feel are worth all the money. My only disappointment was that I scuff them easily. I think I’ll have to get a work pair and and weekend pair so the work ones look nice longer.
I had one pair and bought a second because they feel so good. They look good too, not gaudy, but very simple and stylish, I think. Perhaps a not well known fact about them. I ride my bicyle to work, about 10 miles, and they make an excellent mountain bike shoe…wait till Nike finds out.
So comfortable! This is the most wonderful shoe ever! It is so comfortable, and feels true to size. I teach, and have to run around after a toddler, and these shoes are great on my feet. Also, good enough to go with skirts/casual pants/jeans. I got it in black, and hope to get one in brown too. Zappos upgraded my shipping order, and the shoes got to me very quicky.
4 star rating - I am a bartender and I wore these shoes to work and was pretty happy. Usually most shoes take some sort of breaking in but these required very little. My only complaint was that they are a lttle tight at the top of the foot. I had a little blistering the first day but the next time I wore them I had no problems. Also they were very good on support and cushioning especially since I usually wear sneakers to work. I love them with pants but most of my bartending shift requires a skirt. These are not my first choice to wear but they are much better than the “belindas’” that I had purchased. BCBG Elicia Shoes. I see myself wearing them 2-3 times a week out of the 4-5 shifts that I work.
I’m a critical care nurse and work twelve hour shifts, I’m also in my fifties and at one time felt my career was at an end because my feet hurt so much. A friend recommended these, five years ago, and now they are all I wear. Thanks Dansko for saving my career.
These clogs are fantastic!! I own quite a few different Danskos. I especially love the brown oiled Professional. They’re great for a bad back. I do have to say that the sizes here are NOT converted properly. The real conversions are: 36/5; 37/6; 38/7; 39/8; 40/9; 41/10, 42/11. These are standard EU conversions. Keep in mind, though, they are handmade and EVERY pair will fit differently. They should NEVER feel tight. If they do, you need a larger size. I wear a 9.5-10, and I usually buy a 41–sometimes a 42–depending upon the shoe. I hope this helps.
Stand up Favorite - This shoe is a core of my working day wardrobe as well as my working evenings and weekends wardrobe. If you have to be on your feet, this is the shoe for you. I am a veteran science teacher by day and a long arm quilter weekends and evenings, so my feet and legs complain unless I wear a shoe with good support.
