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.

I love the “looks” of the Dansko clogs. 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.

I’m a nurse with recently diagnosed plantar faciitis. 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/

Hi – I am writing because I have had a couple of pairs of clogs over the last 4-5years and loved them all, especially the danskos I bought 4 years ago.

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.

I have had Plantar Faciitis for 10 months now and my podiatrist recommended Danskos. They helped with the pain in my feet. But now after wearing Danskos 2 months I have had pain in my left hip which also goes down my leg and up to my lower back. I don’t know if the Danskos may have caused the hip pain or not, but I am beginning to wonder if I helped one issue and caused another by wearing Danskos all day.

I live in Maine….I just got a pair of brown suede danskos’s as an early birthday present. I’m glad I didn’t spend my own money after reading the bad reviews on here, as I hear from coworkers they were good and that is why I got them.

I will keep them for wearing ou tif they are to uncomfortable for work, the arches are huge and I have to get used to it.

I have had hip surgery due to labral tear, and now I wonder did my walking and wearing Dansko clogs EVERY single day for nearly a year have anything to do with this problem. One of my friends who also is a daily dansko diva is now experiencing some sort of hip pain and asked me if I thought the dansko’s might have some thing to do with her pain. When you look on the web, the dansko’s are somewhat praised for being one of the “Good foot brands” Now I wonder how many other people may have had related hip pain due to daily use.

Hey all you unhappy Dansko people,
Any of you live in Maine? I’d purchase slightly used 37′s some 38′s, I’d give anything for a pair of black suede Madrigals size 37……. I’ve worn my navy ones for 2 yrs, still look good. If I had a black pair the navy ones would last longer. I’ve got several other pairs, but these are by far my favorites. They had the nerve to discontinue them!
I don’t have back pain any more. They are not the softest on the bottoms of the feet, however I wear them instead of slippers and sneakers. I think my feet have adapted.
