Would you happen to know this?
LOVE my Danskos!!!!! Been wearing them 6 years now and will NEVER wear anything else. As another poster stated you MUST break them in prior to wearing them an entire 12 hour shift. I float and do many specialties: ER, OR, PACU, TELE, Cath Lab, Endo, Occupational Health, Oncology, Outpatient Clinics, Open Heart, PCU, IMCU. These are the BEST shoes, at first I was skeptical, however, now wouldn't trade for anything, I EVEN wear them on off days. I have 4 pair, 1 a colleuge gave she couldn't wear them so those are my OR dedicated shoes, had 2 other pair of my own, daughter had a pair while working retail when she left that gave them to MOM.
They make you walk correctly, keep body in alignment. NO MORE leg, foot, back pain at end of a LONG LONG shift and I sometimes work 4 or 5 twelves a week, with oncall added in.
As another poster stated it is BEST to try on several pair to get the best fit as they are all handmade. I also have been wearing the OLD version and have no experience with the new manufacturer. Danskos also last FOREVER! I got mine at the outlet and they are very helpful. Here is contact info for Dansko Outlet.
GOOD LUCK
