I'm an RN on a med/surg unit and we do 12.5 shifts. I owned a pair of the Danskos and they lost their support after about a year. I was pregnant during part of that so the weight fluctuation may have been part of that. A co-worker had this brand of shoe and I liked the look and prints available so I decided to give this one a try. I actually bought this particular color (glittery silver) because it was quite a bit cheaper than the others and I couldn't justify spending forty plus for a particular color. I do get a lot of compliments on these shoes though. They look cute with my royal blue uniforms and most importantly my feet never hurt after a shift. I am sold on wearing clogs. I used to wear tennis shoes and my feet ached. I was reluctant to wear clogs because I'm not much of a heel wearer as I feel unbalanced. I was afraid the height on these types of shoes would be awkward. They are not at all. I didn't really have a break in time with these shoes either. The Danskos took a little bit of time to get used to how they felt on your foot. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and I'd recommend these.
