I do not wear them since I tend to be running like a headless chicken so I have cross training sneakers on. My uncle who is a surgeon thinks they are amazing.

I wear them but I'm in school and only in clinicals one day a week. Our school uniform requires us to wear white shoes with our scrubs so I bought white ones. I think they are pretty awesome though so I bought a black pair to wear casually and get my feet used to them. I definitely have concerns about running in them. For what I'm doing, they're great.

I loved my danskos when I was working in the ER/ICU. Now that I'm a full time flight nurse we are required to wear boots. I cleaned/disinfected the 3 pairs of danskos that I owned and wear them out casually now. They are very comfortable for walking/being on your feet for extended periods of time.

Hate them. I owned them at first but found being a tall guy 6'1" that they made me an extra 2 or so inches taller. This of course means I had to bend that much further for patient care. I found that when I switched to regular cross-trainers my back pain got LOADS better.

I'm 6'2'' and wear them. I love 'em. I wear them for school, but I'll occasionally wear them if I have to work the floor as a tech at work. Mine are all white so they're ugly as sin but my feet love me for them.

Needless to say, I use to wear them back in my nursing school days. However, in more than one occasion when I was in a hurry my Dansko Clog was left behind in the elevator. Therefore, now I wear very comfortable running shoes in black to match my black scrub pants, not to mentioned my feet love me for the switch

Danskos are comfortable but suck for running and those situations which require a very hands on approach. So I've switched to a basic tactical boot from Bates. Very comfortable over 12 hours, great for running and such. Bates Footwear Mobile Site - ZR-8 Boot

I wear the Dansko clogs all the time. I have 3 pair actually. I used to have lower back problems after being on my feet for 12+ hours. They have been worth the $$ spent. I owned a pair for 2 years, split the sole called the company and got a new pair for free (minus shipping)... I cannot tell you how awesome they are. I wear them out in street clothes too.

No, but I have used my wife's pink fluffy robe. IT IS FREAKIN AWESOME!
The lady at the medical store says she has alot of repeat buyers, but I like Crocs(even though I slip in them).
