Customer Reviews Dansko Marcelle

Now that I've had these shoes for 6 months and they're nicely worn in, I could walk in them for miles. Standing for a long time in them is less comfortable. During the wearing-in period I needed a ton of moleskin when going without socks to avoid blisters where the front and side parts of the shoe are sewn together. The shoes also bruised my arches pretty badly at first, but that settled down. It took me a couple of tries to get the sizing right, but I finally settled on the 39, even though it feels a touch long. The 38 felt too short and the arch was in the completely wrong place for my foot (I'm between an 8 and 8.5 in US sizes).

Just call me Bigfoot - I love Dansko clogs and have been wearing them (prof & Ingrid) for years. They help you walk correctly. This maryjane looks really great but is too tight at the widest part of my foot (due to my foot/feet's thickness). I'm hoping they will stretch, as the next size bigger would be too long. I don't mind the weight, as I'm already used to the Dansko clog bottom.

Dansko review - It's a very comfy shoe but it's also really bulky and heavy. I run up and down stairs a lot and it's a heavy shoe to do that with.

Comfy shoe - Not the most attractive looking shoe ever, but very comfortable to wear with fantastic arch support. Kept my feet feeling good all day long.

Same problems here - I stand for 10 hours a day with little to no walking at my job, so I really need a shoe that lasts all day, support-wise. This shoe has excellent support, and is really one of the cuter options that I can wear to work, but yowza! I have had the exact same problems with the stitching, mainly that it feels like thorns are puncturing the sides of my feet after about 15 minutes in this shoe. This didn't happen the first 2 times I wore the shoe, so I felt obliged to keep them, but I've found a work-around. I've had luck with moleskin on cutting down on the rub, but socks or stockings only help macerate the rubbed area for me. Try a style of Dansko’s that do not have seams in this area is my advice.

Such a cute shoe, stitching hurts! This shoe is great looking, looks good with slacks, jeans, skirts, really cute. They are good for wide feet, though I have a bunion and the hardness of the shoe rubs against it. The stitching cuts into my skin also; I guess it's just the way the shoe was made. Despite that, the actual shoe is very comfortable; arch is great, width great. And they are so cute!

Okay look, uncomfortable arch - The look of these shoes was okay for me (although not great), but what really made me send them back was the arch. There was a real "bite" in the arch - very hard and uncomfortable. I have a hard time wearing clog type shoes, so I'm not surprised, but I thought they really hurt.

Great shoe but awkward plastic piece - maybe due to sizing - I fell in love with the color and style of this shoe. I slipped it on and the arch support and total overall support was wonderful. It really does "rock" forward as you walk - making your whole leg, back, and foot feel supported. I definitely recommend it for those attributes. On the flip side, I normally wear a 39 in a Dansko. My other Dansko clogs are 39s and they are snug to perfect - I wear them with thin socks, or more often with heavy tights to look cute with skirts. This particular clog was too big (at a 39) even with regular (not thin) socks. The reason it only gets four stars overall is because the plastic piece in the back of the shoe (in the shape of the heel) stuck out from the leather on both shoes and rubbed my foot - and it is very hard plastic. I checked and my other clogs have this piece, but it is snug against the leather on them. I think it would not have rubbed my foot if the shoe had fit a little truer to size (the plastic would have been where the foot slims in so it wouldn't have rubbed it…maybe). I don't think another size down would have fit though - toes would bump…maybe more of a heel width issue. The plastic thing really bugged me, especially in such an expensive shoe, but the rest of the feel of the shoe (the support off the floor) and the look of it made me very sad to return it.

Love it!!!! I love these shoes. They are the only shoes I can wear on an 8 hour shift, my feet are never sore but...The only complaint I find is the strap. I got 2 shoes in 2 years and I had to return them because of that...too bad they don’t make them in black patent.

Shoes pretty good – This shoe is comfortable on my legs and knees but is a little stiff and hard to break in. I would probably send back if I could but have worn. I have bunions and maybe this is why I'm having trouble with the break in. I do get a lot of compliments on their looks.

Love my Dansko Marcelle’s - I love the Dansko Marcelle’s I bought recently. I have the brown ones, with black trim. They're adorable with the Maryjane style strap and contrast stitching. As with all Dansko’s I've ever tried, the comfort is unequalled! I typically wear a size 7.5, but have found that with Dansko clogs I have to order a size down (37). I still have plenty of room and a little space for the up-and-down-heel movement. When I have tried 38's in the past, there's too much space. The high quality, incredible comfort, and superior Zappos customer service made this a simple, easy, and rewarding purchase.

Hurts in a strange place - I really like this shoe. I can wear it with or without socks, with pants or skirts. It's comfortable for the most part, but the top of my foot hurts after a while. I don't know if it's because of the style of the shoe or the way I walk in them. I find this kind of pain with Danskos in general so I'm not sure what's going on there. Unfortunately, I like the Dansko style and initial comfort and often discover foot pain only after a couple hours of wear.

Supportive and fun - a sensible shoe that doesn't scream it. This is my first pair of Danskos & I got them because they carry a podiatric endorsement (I have plantar fasciitis). I wear them every other day because the insides are a little hard on my sensitive feet. I have wide feet & these were just wide enough with a little breaking in.

Dansko Marcelle - I keep getting complements on this shoe! It is really great looking. It has a higher sole than I expected but I like that. Some people might not. The one drawback to the shoe is as follows for me: I have a high instep and the top of the shoe including the strap are hard and have been hitting my instep hard enough to cause a slight bruising on the top of my foot. I expect that the shoe leather will soften over time and they will get more comfortable. Too bad they don't come in the equivalent of American half-sizes. Then maybe this wouldn’t happen to me. However I like the shoes looks so much I wouldn't return them.

Comfort, comfort, comfort... These shoes are extremely comfortable! I walked miles and miles through NYC with them right out of the box. Well let's say the 5th box -- Thanks Zappos! I wear a 10w shoe. I needed to order the 42 (which they say is a 12 -- ha). That was just to fit the length of my foot the 41 was too short. But the 42 was just right. They are wide, so the width was perfect. Most Danskos don't fit my foot because they run pretty true to width. Love the shoe!!!!

Cute, but not quite perfect... I got these shoes in Brown Latigo and they actually have a slight reddish-purplish hue to them (which to me came as a pleasant surprise, but if you are expecting a truly brown color--be forewarned!) I really like this shoe overall, but I am a little disappointed when I try to wear them without socks. The places where the two major pieces of leather are stitched together rub my foot too much to consider them all-day sockless shoes. I was not expecting my foot to be irritated in this way, because I have a narrowish/medium-width foot. With that said, I still do highly recommend them. Although they may not be quite as comfortable as Dansko professionals for all day wear, they are still cute, comfortable shoe! P.S. I am almost always a US size 7.5 and size 38 Danskos fit perfectly.

Pick me up! Great winter pick me up. The Cordovan color was something I was looking for in a shoe and I was tempted to buy Danskos after buying some Dansko sandals a year ago. The sandals I had gotten were a 36, but I found with this style I needed the 37 since the 36 just didn't have enough toe room to be comfortable. The 37 sandals I'd ordered a 37 first and had to go down to the 36 since they were too wide. So it might take a couple tries to get the right size depending on the style, but once you do they're very comfortable.

Cute, but small... These are pretty good shoes, but I had to reorder the next size up. They are not soft shoes...if that is what you are looking for. I would try another brand, but they do have support.

A bit smaller than other Dansko clogs - I am so sad to have to return these, but I couldn't find the right pair. I consistently wear a 38 in Danskos, but often have to try several pairs to find a comfortable one, since my feet are at the large end of the 38 spectrum (my feet are a bit shorter and wider than an average 8). Although I found a few pairs that were comfortable for my left foot, I couldn't a comfortable right shoe, despite trying three different pairs. Boo.

I love Dansko and especially the style of this shoe. I have gotten many compliments already.

Hope I'm not too old to wear this shoe, but ... I LOVE Dansko shoes. 'Have arthritis in my feet and have trouble finding shoes that don't kill me. Danskos do the trick!! I like to wear these with slacks -- better than with skirts. They're kinda clunky looking. But, I think I'll get lots of enjoyment out of them. 'Bought them in both red & cordovan.

Kinda cute, kinda comfy - I like these shoes quite a bit, but I haven't found them to be the most comfortable thing in the world, as many of my friends and coworkers have. (Which is primarily why I bought them, as I stand all day at work) I do love the extra 2 inches though!

Very cute but... I love the style of these shoes but found that the inside stitching in the toe box rubbed on my foot. I returned these shoes since I saw possible blisters in my future. Too bad because the styling is very nice.

Too big - Other Dansko styles have been a truer fit. This style is big.

Flight attendant review - These took a little longer to get used to than the original clogs. The top of my toes hurt the first few times I wore them, then once they were "broken in," they were much better. Loved the style of them!
