I am a long time Dansko fan. I purchased the tie verson of this shoe first, and loved it. I thought I would give this shoe a try. I found it to have very little support in comparison to the tie version. I wore them for 8 hours at work, and woke up the next day with knee and back pain. At the price I paid, they are not worth returning. I will use them to wear around the house. If you are looking for support, either go with the one with the laces, or opt for the more expensive work clogs. I just got the Pro XP and LOVE them.
