As a nurse, the type of shoes I wear plays a big role in my ability to perform my job. I've tried other clogs and the Dansko clogs are far superior. They are completely comfortable, and have excellent shock absorbing potential, which cuts down on back pain after working long hours standing.  The color pattern choices are cute and range from plain and simple to wild and colorful, depending on your preferences. I chose the black clogs with a marbled look, and they look really good with my scrubs. I've found that other clogs will often rub my heel after awhile, but these don't bother my heels at all! The fit is perfect and true to size for my normal shoes size (10). I ordered the size 41 and they are just perfect. Absolutely recommend these if you work a job that requires you to be on your feet for long hours at a time.
