Having several pair of Dansko clogs, I have determined that this Hattie is the best of the best.  It required no 'breaking in,' but was total comfort right out of the box.  I think it is one of the more attractive of my Dansko set, so that is a bonus.  I am sad that Danskos are now made in different countries...and I was especially disappointed when my two newest pair were made in (ugh), China.  Time will tell if the quality still remains the same, and I am watching that specifically as time goes by.  Everything has been up to snuff so far.  These Hattie clogs ran a bit on the SMALL side, size-wise, so buyer beware.  I usually purchase Danskos in a size larger, and am glad I did with these...they fit perfect.  I purchased these through Amazon and they came quickly and were packaged well.
