I've worn several brands of shoes over the years. I spend approximately 8-12 hours a day on my feet, varying from not stop walking to standing in front of a classroom for 4 hours at a time. I have borderline wide feet, I usually wear 9.5 E or (more commonly) 10 D shoe. The last two "best" shoes I have worn in the past is Red Wing, but the stores stop carrying the shoes I usually wear. I liked them considering that they usually lasted me about 3-4 years until the sole wore out. I was ready for something new.I ordered the Dansko Wyatt Oxfords size 43. When I first put them on, they seemed a little big, but figured I would still give them a try. I've heard with their clog style shoe that the increased space is part of their design. Initially the shoes are on the stiff side, but after about a week of wearing, they have started to loosen up. Whenever I get a new pair of dress/work shoes, the first thing I usually do is change out the insole for one that is more supportive. I've yet to change out the insole in my Dansko shoe. I have not had any pain or discomfort that I usually feel with shoes that have little to no arch support. The Dansko shoe does have some support built into it that is more natural, so currently no additional support is needed! I've walked a variety of surfaces including concrete, tile (wet and dry), snow, ice, etc. So far, traction has been wonderful.I've only had the shoes for a short time, but so far they have been wonderful. It does take some time to adjust to the new style of shoe (bigger, roomier, etc). Unless I'm running down the hall, I haven't noticed any slipping and sliding within the shoe. With the prolonged standing, I have not experienced the leg and back fatigue that I usually experience with poorly constructed shoes. I'm looking forward to many great years with these shoes. It's worth the extra few bucks for quality. I'll post any updates as needed.
