text: Purchased the Dansko Paven Clog/Mule in the Full Grain Navy, not here on Amazon but at a local discount retailer. After doing some very extensive research, first with intentions of finding my husband, a severe over-pronator, some suitable shoes for his office job,  I then found myself  in need of some reliable, comfortable shoes for a newly acquired job where I will be standing and walking on MY feet majority of the day. With numerous issues affecting my feet and ankles including, plantar fasciitis, swelling in one or both ankles due to poor circulation from years as a runner, athlete and kidney disease, in addition to lupus which has contributed to arthritis of the joints, especially those already affected by other elements, good shoes are not negotiable!<br />Armed with all the knowledge from research, these were the first and only option I actively sought out, and OH MY GOODNESS, they are AMAZING! While I did have an opportunity to physically try out some other Dansko options, such as the Dansko Professional Clog and another couple varieties, none compared to these in comfort, mobility, support! True to size, my typical size is 9-9.5 med, and they fit like a<br /> glove in size 39! Roomy toe bed, anti-fatigue rocker-bottom sole, breathable leather insole, anti-shock absorption in elevated heel which also assists circulation for energizing hard-working feet what more could you ask for?<br /> The reviewer who mentioned there is a difference in sizing between Pavan and the Professional is correct, the Professional model seemed to fit up to 1/2 a size larger compared to these. While some of the other options ran smaller than these, so I think one would be wise to find a nearby retailer and try these on for your self. I love that while these are a clog, they feel snug as you slip them on, yet still allow supportive movement of your heel, movement, but not complete slippage. I'm a school teacher and mother of 2 young children, and can say through bending, fast walking,slight  jogging, stretching, etc., these have held up and remain in place (don't fall off). The only negative, which is not one for me anyways, but for some may be that while the description claims the anti-microbial leather foot bed is breathable so feet remain cool, don't over-heat, I found my feet get very warm, to the point I have had to remove them at times, for a few minutes to cool off, which is really saying alot, since most of my days are spent with freezing cold feet. Like I said, not a bad thing for me, but for some this could be an issue, Otherwise, this is the perfect shoe, so much so that after purchasing my first pair and wearing for approx. 1 day, I found another pair in caramel, and ordered promptly! Favorite shoe ever!!!
