I have a pair of old Marcelle's (back when Dansko was selling the Sanita patented handmade style). I wore them out and have had them re sewn twice. I also have the cherry red patent color under the Sanita name and am buying another pair in Bordo. I wear these shoes every day and they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever found. I have very high arches and these give the best support. I also live in a wet place and they keep my feet dry. They're better for walking than tennis shoes and much cuter!

I just purchased my 4th pair of Marcelles, and probably my 20th pair of Danskos/Sanitas. I have gradually converted my entire shoe collection to Dansko/Sanita over the years, because let's face it, there just is no comparison to the comfort of a pair of these shoes! I have had many reconstructive surgeries on my feet, starting as a child, and it has taken years to find a pair of shoes that I can walk in all day and not only find that my feet are not tired or hurting, but are invigorated. I love my Danskos and Sanitas! I especially love my Marcelles. I bought my first pair in black when they were made only by Dansko, with the Sanita patent. Now Sanita alone holds the original Marcelle patent, so if you want the original Marcelle, switch to Sanita. I have all three: I still have my original Dansko Marcelle; I have a pair of the new Dansko Marcelles (in Claret Patent; I love them, they are my "Dorothy Shoes"); and I have a new pair of Sanita Marcelles. Honestly, I don't feel much of a difference, but I think the original Marcelle patent (now Sanita) is a bit more generously cut. I wear an orthotic inside it, so I like having some extra room. The Marcelle style is my favorite because the Mary Jane style gives it a more feminine look, while still providing all the comfort of the Dansko professional clog. I wear my Marcelles with dress slacks, jeans, or business suits. It's just such a versatile shoe. However, you have to remember it's still a clog. The one thing you really can't do in these shoes is run. Don't try it. You'll twist an ankle, fall, or worse. They are not shoes you want to wear on uneven ground, either. Keep that in mind and they will serve you well. Everyone always asks me where I find my cute Dansko/Sanita colors and styles, which you never see in the stores. I always tell them Zappos is the way to go!

Great shoes! I have been a big fan of Dansko for a long time. Being a teacher, I'm on my feet all day. I have to say that I have pairs of Danskos that are more than 5 years old and still going strong. I liked the style of the Marcelle because it can go well with pants or skirts. Well made, comfortable and stylish.

My wife decided to surprise me with a new pair of Marcelle's she got me and laid them out with my clothes before I got out of the shower. I am open to her suggestions and favored them over my loafers. At first glance they appear more feminine than what I would wear but after putting them on with my jeans they really looked good!. Better yet they were absolutely comfortable. That night at dinner, a woman next to our table complimented me on my shoes. I was slightly embarrassed about having a woman compliment me on my shoes being they were made for women and she could certainly notice the Mary Jane style of I was wearing. I'm glad I gave in to trying them out in public since for the most part the cross strap is not noticeable until I sit down. These are by far the best pair of shoes I now have.

I could not get the sizing right with this shoe. I typically wear a 39 in Danskos. The first pair I ordered fit well but the instep seemed very high and there was a little glitch in the way the leather was stapled to the sole. I exchanged for another 39 that was huge on my feet. I think if you can get the sizing right, these shoes would be very comfortable but they are very hit or miss.
