Looking at buying some Dansko's upon several recommendations. What size are you wearing, what is your normal tennis shoe size? If you wear Crocs, what size do you wear?
I normally wear an 8.5 in tennis shoes and I just got a pair of Danksos yesterday that I ordered online. Based on recommendations on Amazon I ordered a size 40. I'm wearing them for the first time today. I didn't realize you aren't supposed to wear them 12 hours straight right away, but I figured since I'm doing a lot of sitting it should be okay. I wanted to try them out before my normal 12 hour shift in the ED.
So far so good! They really do feel too big at first, but I went with the reviews and they fit like they're supposed to. The arch support feels great. I can already feel the difference between these and my $30 Anywear's. The one's I ordered are the Dansko Pro XPs. I've been wearing them since 6AM and it feels great standing in them.
In regular shoes, I'm a 10. Danskos, I have one pair that is a 41 and one pair that is a 42. Both fit fine, but it took a lot longer break in period with the 41s. I suggest not ordering online, but going to a store and trying them on so you can actually walk around in them.
