We Made the Clog. You Made It an Icon.
The Dansko Professional 1064 is the flagship clog — the shoe that started it all, trusted by millions of nurses, teachers, chefs, and anyone who devotes long hours to meaningful work on their feet. Inside its unmistakable iconic silhouette is a roomy reinforced toe box, an anatomically contoured PU midsole, an inner stability frame, a padded instep collar, a protective heel counter for lateral stability, and an anti-fatigue rocker bottom that assists forward motion and returns energy with every step. Available in an extraordinary range of leathers — from classic black and oiled leathers to patent, tooled, burnished, suede, and special-edition textures — the Professional is the clog that gets better with age, in every sense of the word. Carrying the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance and beloved by over 9,500 verified reviewers — this is the shoe that earns its iconic status one long shift at a time.
High-Quality Leather Upper, Roomy Reinforced Toe Box — Built for the Long Haul
The Professional 1064 is crafted from various high-quality leathers across its extensive colorway range — with the Gold Texture version featuring a rich, embossed gold leather that catches the light beautifully and adds a distinctly stylish, fashion-forward dimension to the Professional’s classic silhouette. The padded instep collar delivers a comfortable, cushioned fit around the top of the foot, while the roomy reinforced toe box gives the toes generous wiggle room that reduces pressure and fatigue during extended wear — a defining comfort feature that generations of wearers have come to rely on. The leather sockliner breathes naturally against the foot, keeping the interior comfortable throughout the longest of shifts. Note: the Professional clog is designed to fit slightly loosely — the heel should move up and down freely when walking, and there should be approximately a pinky finger’s width of space between the heel and the back of the shoe when standing.
Rocker Bottom Outsole, Inner Frame, Heel Counter — The Anti-Fatigue Engineering That Made Dansko Famous
The Professional’s legendary comfort is engineered from the inside out. An inner frame runs through the construction to provide added stability and structural integrity throughout the clog, ensuring the shoe maintains its shape and support through thousands of hours of wear. The protective heel counter allows the heel to move up and down freely — the signature Dansko clog fit dynamic — while providing lateral stability that keeps the foot secure and properly aligned during extended standing and walking. The single-density open-cell PU foam footbed provides a natural arch support contour that cushions the foot throughout the day. The PU rocker bottom outsole is the Professional’s most celebrated engineering achievement — a curved construction that promotes forward motion with every step, absorbs shock on landing, and returns energy at toe-off, actively reducing the fatigue that accumulates during long hours on hard floors. The wide heel strike adds further stability to the base, making the Professional as sure-footed as it is comfortable.
