A great stylish boot! These run 1/2 size big. Leather is very nice but stiff so be prepared to break them in! They are very unique. I got the brown patent, which I like as a contrast to having black patent. These are pretty casual, but could be dressed up because they are patent. They look tough and that's why I like them! Keep in mind the calves are narrow, which is fine for me, but thought I should mention it. Customer Service is SOOOOO great at Zappos, since I ordered them too big I had to return and they did an exchange for me on a Friday NIGHT and I received my new size boots on Monday! Fast friendly service puts them far above any other shoe site, especially since the returns are painless!

Very sad - This is the first not-so-great review I have ever written on Zappos, but I am very disappointed, with the boot not Zappos! I should have read the description better, because the boots are not leather they are "man made" and feel like plastic - very stiff and not worth a quarter of what they cost. They are going back in the box and goin’ to Zappos a.s.a.p.

Really nice shoe... I love everything about his new clog, I wear Danskos every day b/c of my job, very excited when I got these...Only to find out they run very small! I have numerous 41's and put sole to sole w/ all of them these come up short in the end. There also a little tighter on the top were the cutouts are. Just go up a size, especially if you are going to wear socks!!!

Not the stapled clog, alas... In a hurry, I failed to read the full description of this shoe and assumed it was my old favorite Dansko stapled clog footbed. I was excited to see the size 43 as I have a large (11.5 US women’s size), wide (E width) foot and was hoping to be able to wear a little bit thicker sock with this shoe for the winter. Well, this is not the stapled clog fit. The 43 fit me (sort of) but only with a thin trouser sock (but then the left foot was a little loose and tended to slip out of the shoe, which is not adjustable). The leather is fairly hard and while it might stretch, I found it to run a little narrow for a Dansko and leaving no room to wiggle the toes. Also the bottom is not the same material as the usual stapled clog (my fault for failing to read carefully). A cute shoe but not for me, alas.

Great New Style - Danskos are the only shoes I can wear and be comfortable all day. I have flat feet and bad knees. With Danskos I don't have to wear my orthotic. My feet and knees never hurt after a long day in them. I own 9 pairs of which a couple are quite worn so don't look as good for work, but I still wear them to knock around in and although scuffed do not need any repair work. I couldn't resist the Susana; I think it is a very cute clog and very comfortable and well made. Like the other reviewer said, it does run small. I wear an 8 1/2 to 9 and depending on the shoe wear either a 39 or 40. These 39's are 1/2 size smaller. I'm going to order them in the 40. Contrary to the last reviewer I found the straps across the top slightly loose, but it probably has to do with whether one has a high arch or flat feet. The loose straps don't bother me at all. It makes them more versatile so you could wear them with thick, thin or no socks. By the way, Zappos is the only place to buy Danskos, or any shoes for that matter. Their service is A+. Thank you Zappos for making shoe shopping so easy and fun!

Can’t wait for summer - Been wearing Dansko for years now and just melted for this new style. Agreeably, I do like the stapled bottoms better, but a great shoe nonetheless. Needs some time to stretch the leather as the top straps can be quite bothersome if walking for a distance. Can’t wait to sport them in the summer. They are sure to be great slip on-and-go-shoes!

Great shoes! These shoes are so comfortable! I like to walk on my lunch break and it was like I was walking on clouds! They are really cute and look great with slacks or jeans! The fit was perfect! I would highly recommend these shoes for anyone!

Love Dansko - Being in the medical field I learned to appreciate Dansko shoes years ago. These are no exception to must past experience of perfect fit and unbelievable comfort. These are a little more stylish than the "Professional", look great with jeans.

I love my Danskos! I tried just one pair of Danskos and loved them! Since Christmas, I have bought two more pairs! These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I certainly recommend them!

BEST DANSKO EVER!!! I have been wearing Danskos for over 8 years and own about 8 pairs; I only own the standard clog type, which I love. I decided to take a chance and purchase this "new" type of clog. This is the best Dansko ever, it is like the traditional clog but so much better, you have a nice soft foot bed, higher heel and looks a little more dresser!! You have got to try this shoe if you like the regular clog!!!! It is the best. I have never written a review before but I had to spread the word about this great clog!!

Lots of compliments! Very comfortable-My feet don't seem to sweat as much :) I wear a size nine in closed heal shoes and ordered the 8.5-9 -fit perfect! Wish they weren't so expensive- Wish they came in brown leather with same color sole.

Big Disappointment! Dansko Susana looked great in the pictures, but I was very disappointed when I received it and even more disappointed when I attempted to try it on. The bottom of the clog looks like fake wood and it runs narrow. Susana was very tight on my instep. I'm returning these clogs.
