How are Dansko Shoes Supposed to Fit?
If you are trying your first ever pair of Dansko clogs, you may be a little unsure of whether you have the correct size. These shoes don’t fit like regular shoes and are likely to feel a bit big at first.
Dansko clogs have a wide toe box that will allow your toes to splay. Your toes should not touch the front of the clog.
Unlike some other shoes, your heel should be able to move freely up and down. You should have roughly a pinky finger’s worth of space between the heel counter and the back of your heel.

Do Dansko Shoes Come in Different Widths?
The majority of Dansko models are offered in medium width only.
However, the popular clogs are offered in both narrow and wide fit. These options are available in both the women’s and men’s ranges.

Do you have to wear socks with Danskos?
You can wear your Dansko shoes with or without socks. The clogs are very airy which allow your feet to breathe. Therefore, you may find that socks are not necessary. It is a matter of personal preference.
