Comfy, supportive & lightweight
Wow! I got these to replace a beloved pair of Bjorndahls that suffered from dry rot. They are more comfortable, supportive and lightweight than the ones they were replacing. Will definitely get another pair in a different color

It will work, not
I have no experience with this line of shoe and bought this Lisbeth with two other pair of the Professional Oiled Clogs also just in case something fit me. I bought the Lisbeth one size longer than I usually take in a standard non-clog shoe and decided not to try a wide here but got a wide in both of the Sanita Professional Oiled Clogs and one with the recommended size larger in length and the other my regular shoe size. The wide was clearly too wide in these shoes but it needed to be one with a size larger in length. On the Lisbeth, the left shoe needed stretching in width so by getting the standard width it was really too narrow but only one shoe and is a tad short but only on that one same shoe. I am hoping that it will even out over time and that my toes won't take a beating. I am wearing thick socks. The right shoe fit perfectly. I ordinarily wear a medium width. The wide was just too wide. I was swimming in them. I wanted the Sanita shoes for the lighter weight. I recently had a lot of flooding where I live and not one drop of water got in them. My experience with Dansko shoes is only with lace-up shoes of the Krista which is no longer made sadly. Their medium width likely won't need stretching but is a heavier shoe and cost a little more and not made in Denmark.UPDATE: I wear these shoes everywhere now. I did have to put a 1 inch or so piece of tape on the last of the shoe where the seams meet the front part of the shoe right on each side on both insides on the side. Someone had already done that in the trying of these shoes previously. That gave me the good idea to do it too for my very own hot spots. I had some cloth tape laying around so I used that. I wear them with skirts and pants and everywhere but to bed. I am glad I gave them a go. I can wear thicker socks again and there is no discomfort as the leather has stretched to fit me now. I am pleased.update: I started to fall with these shoes for no reason with about every 3 months taking a dive to the pavement without tripping. In researching on the Dansko site, many older women eventually did experience falling and had to give up wearing clogs. Since I did not try the Dansko clog, I have no way of knowing if falling would happen but I trust it would after I consulted with a long time wearer of Dansko clogs who is now in her late 60's who after years of wearing clogs, had to give them up because of falling.

When people say these run small, they are NOT KIDDING
I usually wear a 7.5 or an 8, depending on the shoe, and I have a fairly narrow foot - not super narrow, but more narrow than a medium. I read all the reviews which say these run small - boy, oh boy, do they run small. Since I had read all the warnings, I ordered a 39 - a full size larger than what I usually wear. When the shoes arrived, I could barely wedge my foot into the left shoe, and I could not get the right foot in at all. Clogs are supposed to fit loose - you are supposed to be able to put your pinky finger in between the back of your foot and the back of the shoe, while you are wearing them.So, I am returning the size 39 and have ordered a size 41 - which is supposed to be a US size 10.5-11. This is 3 full sizes larger than what I usually wear. Once I receive the size 41 I will update the review.Just be aware that you may need to order UP TO THREE SIZES LARGER than what you usually wear.Unfortunately, I think this may be a shoe you need to try on in a store, in order to avoid all the sending back and forth and returning.***UPDATE*** OK, so I have tried on two other sizes at this point. The 41 was way too big, and the 40 feels a little big, but I'm going to go ahead and stick with it because I can't spend any more time buying and returning shoes on Amazon. Clogs are supposed to fit loose, but I feel like what I really need is a "39 and a half". It seems to me that this company may be having some quality control issues - I wonder if the 39-sized pair I got was somehow smaller than their usual 39? It just seems like there's a big jump in size from the 39 to the 40. If I had been at a store and had been able to try on a few different pairs of "39"s, maybe I would be able to find one that fit better. The size I ended up with is 2 sizes larger than what I usually wear, but I have to say that I think their US to European size equivalent chart may not be very accurate.As far as the clogs go, they seem very well made, and they have good arch support. One star off because I feel like they need to offer half sizes, or at the very least refine and update how their sizes translate to US sizes.

One fit is just right
I have purchased these before. And last time they were initially snug but after wearing them a few times they break in and are very comfortable. I wear them daily at work. This time the left shoe fits great the right show well not so. It is tight across the bridge. I debated about returning them but I kept them and I hope the right one will break in soon. I am still wearing my old ones while I break in the right shoe on my new ones.

ne sono innamorata! resistete se sembrano strette
ci ho pensato per un anno prima di comprarle e ora che finalmente le ho prese.. non posso più stare senza! sono più belle di quanto immaginassi e comodissime. attenzione: all’inizio probabilmente vi sembreranno strette e vi farà male il collo del piede, tanto da farvi pensare: non riuscirò mai a metterle.. ma tenete duro, perché tempo qualche giorno e smollano. indossatele in casa un’ora al giorno per una settimana, usate il phon e lo spray allargascarpe, alla peggio portatele al calzolaio per farle mettere un po’ in forma, ma insomma resistete, perché dopo poco cedono e non vorreste toglierle mai più. oltretutto costano la metà dei dansko e secondo me sono più belle perché opache e non lucide.

I wish it was better
I bought these after weeks of research on “standing all day shoes” hoping they’d be the perfect shoe for my job which requires I stand for some 13hrs a day. I saw it through a week until i’d officially broken them in but unfortunately these clogs have given me numb toes. It’s taken 3 days off work for me to start getting some feeling back in my toes again. My normal shoe size is a 7 so I assumed this would be the best size, but for some reason my toes are just not comfortable in the shoe, while wearing them and then after removing the shoe; which is a shame as these shoes in every other aspect are amazing It gave me arch support and completely removed my normal leg fatigue at the end of the day. But the numb toes is far too big of a new concern for me and I have no idea how to correct it with these shoes.

Narrow Feet Only
I did a tremendous amount of prep work to find a shoe for worky on my feet all day. I so wanted these to be my choice. Other reviewers said they ran small (they do), were narrow (yes), and the band that goes across the top of the foot was very tight (right again).These shoes were so adorable that I fell in love with them as I was taking them out of the box. I ordered a bigger size, but they were too were too small, and that band was extremely tight on my nylon stocking worn on my foot. So, I immediately ordered the next size up, (a ridiculous big size for me). This pair was too big and band still tight. They also seemed 'used.' Sadly,returned both pair. Unless you have true narrow feet in all the shoes you buy, I would strongly recommend not to order. (Also, they don't offer a regular or wide shoe).

No regrets! Great shoes
PerfectI've struggled with chronic back pain and fund I cant be on my feet to long. These shoes have been great for work. They are really comfortable and feel very supportive under foot. I swapped them for my trainers one day and found I came home with the usual pain so they've worked for me. They also go really well with most outfits, I'd be happy to wear them outside of work too, look great with black Jean's. Highly recommend as a great investment

I love these clogs - I had another pair that lasted ...
I love these clogs - I had another pair that lasted me about 7 years (I wore them most days) so these are a replacement. The rubber soles (as opposed to the wooden ones) gives it a slight "bounce" when you walk, making them very comfortable. The slight arch inside also gives excellent support for the feet. One word of caution though - when they're brand new, they might at first seem a bit tight across the top of your feet - fear not, for they will loosen up and "mound" to the shape of your feet. They really are very comfortable!
