I was wondering if anyone wears Dansko clogs? Iwould like to try some, but I don't want to chuck out the $100+ if they are going to be uncomfortable. I've tried Dr. Scholls clogs and they killed my feet. I have narrow feet with high arches.....anyone else in this boat with me?:eek:

I shelled out $115 for a pair last September and I HATE THEM! They hurt the balls of my feet. All the nurses at work who have them rave about them but they jsut aren't for me. I'm wearing them though as my shoes that I wear to and from work. I bought a pair of Merrell Jungle Moc's at Gander Mountain and these shoes I LOVE!!!!

I have had my dansko's for 6 years...and they are just as comfortable as the day I got them. I'm on a BUSY surgical floor doing 12 hour shifts and they are great!

I bought a pr of danskos a couple wks ago and i told the ppl in the store i dont have an arch in my foot and they recommended the danskos. but by the time i wore them for an hour or two, i was ready to cut my feet off. they blistered my feet so bad! so they let me get a store credit and i am going to go back in a few mnths when the new store opens and see if they have a better selection. i may try the birkenstocks. someone recommended those to me. i dunno though, since idont have an arch. anyone have any suggestions?? thanks

I don't have any arch either; I haven't tried the Birkenstock clogs but I absolutely love my sandals!

i have low arches and bilateral plantar fascitis...birks are the only shoes that i have been able to wear..this, after i invested hundreds of dollars in different shoes, clogs, and orthotics...

now i have birks in loafers and other styles to wear outside of work..

best purchase i have ever made.

I have the Merrell Jungle Mocs also, and I love them!! They are so light and comfy!! I have another pair of Merrells that I wear outside of work that are great too. :D

I couldn't wear Dansko's...the heel on them is too high for me, kept twisting my ankles.:imbar

I haven't had any problems with twisting my ankles when I wore the dansko's, suprisingly enough seeing as how I turn my ankles in when I walk. But I'll gladly buy another pair of Merrels.

I am ordering a pair of Birkie clogs even as we speak.....:D

Wish me luck....have such a problem with shoes....:(

I have Birkie clogs, Anywears clogs, and am planning on getting Danskos soon...all closed-back shoes. Much more comfy than tennis shoes, I think. :)

I wear Danskos and love 'em. I have very high arches and narrow feet. I have also found Birks to be very comfortable, especially since over time they mold to the contours of your feet. I can stand on Birks all day and not have sore feet.
