Having same problem as a lot of people. SO HARD! Was hopeing to find something I could in fact wear all day long instead of hiking boots which is presently my most comfortable shoe. Just wondering if anyone has got insole replaced with something softer. All my other shoes have softer insoles with some give. The hard insole inside these Danskos is glued in pretty well so this seems like a very drastic thing to do. But my feet have never experienced something so hard. Has anyone replaced those insoles and did you do it yourself or get help? Just bought some beautiful Danskos the other day. Having same problem as a lot of people. SO HARD!

Like so many I had lots of friends telling me they are the best shoe.... I finally broke down and spend that much on a work shoe. When they first where uncomfortable I just figured I had to break them in, but after 3 month's the pain in my arches became UNBEARABLE!!!!! I switched to sneakers for a couple of days to see if that helped. Well feet are already feeling better.... I am so mad I spent that kind of money on these shoes :( I purchased my Danskos about 4 month’s ago. Like so many I had lots of friends telling me they are the best shoe….

I have lower back issues. A few weeks ago I got a new pair of Danskos. I have worn them almost every day since then, and have been having a lot of hip pain and have been feeling achy all over and "old." Finally, it occurred to me that maybe the Danskos are making the hip pain worse. I switched over to other shoes and will try them for a while to see if I feel better. I really want the Danskos to help. My sister loves them, but I'm starting to think that they may not be for me. They do make my feet feel better, but I can't deal with the hip pain and general stiffness. I walk all over the concrete sidewalks in NYC so I need shoes that work for both my feet and the rest of my body as well. I’m so glad that I found your post. I have lower back issues.

My feet felt more secure than in the clogs. My feet feel much better. Legs are a little more achy at night,but assume and hope this will change as my body does feel more solid standing all day. May put in lightweight thin orthotics for a little more softness for awhile. Reminds me of the Bastad clogs I use to wear in the 80's. I tried on numerous danskos and settled on the lace up ones.

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:16:55 +0000 http://sylvialoh.com/2007/05/10/dansko-clogs/#comment-147 Hello all... I recently purchased a pair of Danskos because my Birkenstock Closed toe shoe didn't have the support that I needed. And after a day of running all over campus (I'm a College Student) I knew I needed to try something else. So I went to my favorite Birkenstock Outlet (in Delaware) and decided I was going to try on a pair of Danskos... they felt ok in the store. I have been wearing Birkenstocks for about 8 years now and know that you have to "break" them in. As this is the third day I have worn my Danksos they still hurt a little. But I wore my sneakers yesterday thinking I would give my feet a break and my feet just ached! I have had no problems with that today. SInce I wore my Danskos. I am hoping that over time I stretch them out. I am usually so hard on Birks and it takes about a week for my foot bed to get into them i am hoping that the Dankos last a little longer. So my advice is this just give them time and don't wear thick socks. Hello all…

I am a nurse, and purchased a pair of pink ones. I get so many compliments on them! But, I seem to trip a lot and the other night I actually fell at work and had to be taken to the ER! OMG! Then, another nurse told me she had falled 3 times with her Dansko clogs and has never worn them again. This is the most expensive shoe I have ever purchased! I can not risk falling again, so guess I will have to toss the Dansko's. So very disappointing.. was looking forward to getting a different color for Christmas.

Get to a podiatrist right away. I went through 6 different pairs of shoes before I gradually got to the point where I could barely walk, only then did I go to a doctor duh ...he recommended danskos and another very good shoe is z-coil but only get them with a dealer who truely customizes them to your foot...another nurse told me about klogs...not sure yet about those. I just got my danskos yesterday & they relieved the pain in my arch & heel, but my big toe is now numb & my supervisor has the same problem with her danskos, the toe numbness has happened with other shoes, the podiatrist thinks the toe numbness is related to fit sheesh I rolle my feet back/ I’m a nurse with recently diagnosed plantar faciitis.

However, I just purchased a pair of shiny marbled burgandy ones and an now experiencing lower back pain and hip pain and thought perhaps it may be due to the clogs. I am hair dresser gone sales person and many people in the hair dressing field wear them, so I had started to, but never experienced the back pain, until I bought these pair. And.... have gone to a chiropractor and have gotten some relief. I was out with my husband to breakfast yesterday and noticed our waitress had the same exact pair - asked her how her back was feeling and she looked at me funny and said "that her lower back had been bothering her". That's it for me, I am taking a break. I am in sales now and can not afford to lose my back, I am sure you all would like to keep yours too, those of you experiencing back pain.
