Danskos...wet insoles?

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Updated:   Published

First of all, I do realize this is an "equipment" item, but I am wanting as much feedback as possible and thus the reasoning for posting here first.

I gave in and took the plunge purchasing a pair of Dansko clogs, the new "XP" model (read: slightly more padding) less than 2 months ago. I like the support and am thankful that my legs and back aren't killing me like my running shoes did.

The problem...I find that I am sweating so much with them where my insoles are remaining wet for 2 days after wearing them. I am only wearing them while at work, so time in them is not the concern. I also am not wearing any 100% cotton socks, but wear a poly/spandex blend. I have never had SFS "sweaty feet syndrome" before, and have worn another all leather clog shoe before without this problem. The moisture is so much where I can already see the leather breaking down inside the shoe.

Already have taken to the store where I purchased these and was told that this was a "normal issue with all leather shoes". I know this is not correct as I have discussed this with other Dansko-only wearers. So, has anyone else had the same issue and if so, what did you do to resolve this? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I was curious about the XP and what made them $180 as opposed to the usual $120- $130 price tag you see around at places like Nordstrom or The Walking Store with the regular "Professional" line, and it looks like $180 is WAY overpriced, and they don't seem to be exclusive to the walking store either.

I think the sales person may have thrown a line at you with these.

Danskos are great for long hours of standing or walking, nurses love them specially paired with liquid insoles like SnugFeel Liquid Insoles or HappyFeet insoles.
