BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says, “The level of comfort in every Dansko shoe is nearly incomprehensible. The insole is somewhat hard, but in a remarkably good way that almost massages the arches of my feet when I walk. It’s a unique feeling that requires a little getting used to, but once I did, holy moly, it was an eye-opening experience of what shoes can be. I know that sounds dramatic, but I’m not alone — the cult-status of Danskos is real and well-deserved. If you’ve been struggling to find a shoe that fully supports your feet all day, give these a try. They definitely don’t look like they’d be the most stable, but I never feel more sure-footed than when I’m in my Danskos. These are my newest Danskos at a year and a half old, but looking at the sole, leather, and sturdy buckle, you know they’re just at the beginning of their long life. I’ve yet to try Dansko’s original clogs, but am running out of excuses not to!”

Promising review: “I wore similar Danskos as a practicing midwife for 13 of my 23 years catching babies at a busy urban hospital practice. YES they lasted 13 years!! I was so upset I had to say goodbye to them after they finally crumbled and was DELIGHTED to find these, which I have already started to wear and expect to wear for at least another 13 years!!” —Amazon Customer
