Customer Reviews Dansko Arabella

I am in Love - These shoes are amazing!! I brought them for my wedding and I love them. I have wide feet and a bad back. These shoes fit perfectly with no pain. I am looking forward to dancing the night away in them!!

My favorite sandals - I bought these shoes and wore them for about 7 months straight, regardless of the weather. They are among my favorites - they look great with pants, skirts, capris, whatever! I found the size great, and I have never had more arch and toebox support in a sandal.

Suggestions - I have two pairs of Arabella shoes, and I have a suggestion for those of you who complained about tightness and rubbing of the straps on your toes/feet: Put lotion on your feet, put the shoes on, and then wear them around the house for an hour or so. The lotion will soften the leather wherever it is tight. I have a bunion, and have done this with all leather sandals for years. By the way...I have plantar fasciitis, and I wore my pretty pink Arabellas to an anniversary bash, and danced all night. In fact, I was the last one on the dance floor, I was so happy to have found a shoe that allowed me to dance again!! Yes, my feet were sore and tired; but not from the plantar fasciitis!

I disagree... I'm shocked that nearly every review I’ve seen of this shoe says something negative. I have nothing bad to say about my Arabella’s. I've been wearing them for over 2 years; I've bought nearly every color they've made because they are the perfect sandal. I'm on my feet 8+ hours a day in a high end shoe store with steep narrow staircases, so I have to wear something comfortable, stable, and stylish. These fit the bill perfectly.

Great Shoe - I love this shoe! It feels as great as it looks. I have walked all day with this shoe and did not have aching feet or legs at the end of it.

Great looking, comfy sandal - These sandals are fun and stylish without compromising on comfort. I have a very small foot (4.5 or 35) but the strap on these sandals really helps. I did, however, need to take them to a shoe repair person to get a few extra holes put in the straps - not a big deal.

Dansko Arabella Champagne 41 - Pretty, and comfy though they rubbed my little toes. Champagne color is actually a pale gold, very dressy. Wore these to a wedding, did not make my plantar fasciitis worse. Narrower than other Dansko’s.

Looks too good to feel this good! I thought these looked sort of clunky online, but they look really sleek on. I bought them based on reviews; I never find pretty sandals that are really comfy, too - but these are! I feel like these are an investment. I never spend this much on shoes, but I'm sure I'll get my money's worth!

I Love Red Shoes! These are very pretty red shoes with excellent cushioning. The red satin really looks like satin fabric even though it is nice leather. The color is more of a tomato red than pictured, but still quite versatile. The toes are tighter than other Dansko's I've bought.

Prettier than I imagined. I have ordered several pairs of shoes from Zappos -- mostly Dansko and have never been disappointed and often pleasantly surprised at how quickly they arrived. I have never had to return a product yet.

Darn - too narrow - Unfortunately I have to return these because they're too narrow: the strap that crosses over the little toe hits in exactly the wrong place - right at my little toe nail. Also, the back of the ankle strap rides a little too low. If they DID fit they would be wonderful. A nice amount of cush to the sole, beautiful heel shape, nice materials, sexy ankle strap, very well made. The size 38 is the right length for my 7.5 feet, but these might not work for anyone wide across the toes. One note: they call this finish "satin" and the leather really does have a satin sheen to it, almost like fabric. Makes these look more like party shoes than something you would wear to work.

Beautiful and functional - You'd never guess how functional these dress shoes are. Shoes actually made with a foot in mind. The footbed is a bit more flexible than a clog, so I don't know how well they'd hold up for work wear. But for special events and the occasional day I wear these to work, they are the best. Goes great with a knee length flippy skirt. Very salsa!!

I wore them to my sons wedding - I insist on comfortable shoes. I wore them to my sons wedding and danced all night! They are the prettiest comfort shoes I could find and they didn't disappoint!!!

My favorite shoes! I ordered a 41 - perfect for my 9 1/2 foot. These are my favorite shoes - comfortable, stylish and the little ankle strap is sexy.

Dansko arabella - I love dansko shoes - they're 1 of 2 brands of shoes that I'll wear. I have a wide foot and unfortunately these beautiful sandals are narrower than most Danskos.

Arabella, Perfect Dress/Walking Shoe - I love these shoes. They fill a great void in my shoe choices. When you are walking to a nicer event or a dressy occasion, you don't have to suffer with every step. I can throw these on with the perfect little black dress or with a fun skirt for a day on the town! Dankso's always fit my feet great. I don't even think about what's on my feet.

First of all, Zappos rocks. I just got these Danskos and had ordered a size 40 since I am generally a perfect 9.5. The 40 was a tiny bit too short, so I am returning for a 41. They did feel really comfortable though.

Dansko Rock - I wear a 5.5 M normally and ordered a 36 (the size of my 2 other Dansko) and they were great. It's funny people are saying they are too narrow. I have plenty of room in the width of the shoe, and that's how Dansko are supposed to fit. These are super cute. I got pink. And so far quite comfortable. One thing I've noticed that is different from my other Dansko is that there is less arch support. My other D's have arches in the shoe that sit right under my high arches and provide a lot of support (I have an injury in my left arch). These do not have the same support...But they are still pretty comfy. Did I mention how cute? The straps are adorable and this sandal is a lot less clunky than my Dansko shoes.

Great services - It came really fast only took 3 days. Packed really well and the shoes were in good shape. Highly recommended.

Pretty in Pink - After Jocelyn and Lolita, I decided to try Arabella for a dressier look. Having higher heels, they were not as comfortable as Lolita; but my plantar fasciitis did not act up, to they are OK in my book! I just hope Zappos can find a pair for me in black too!

If I could afford to have every pair of shoe I love, I'd keep this one. Unfortunately it was the wrong shade of pink so I had to return it. One great shoe though! Dansko's size 37 always fits my size 36-1/2 foot perfectly.

Great Shoes! Finally a comfortable pair of dress shoes; I can wear them for hours. I am envious of women who can wear high heels because I cannot. I have suffered with heel pain for years and these are the only dress shoes I have found that don't kill my feet.

Another great dansko - Dansko comes through with another great shoe!! These provide Dansko comfort and great style. I usually wear a 7 1/2 and I am consistently a 37 in dansko sandals and a 38 in clogs/boots. This was no different--they fit beautifully. These will be my sandals to wear with jeans, or will dress up capris!!

Stylish summer sandal with comfort features - Since I live in a style conscious city and have to walk a lot, I am always on a quest to find shoes that are both stylish and comfortable too. The cross strap style allows for plenty of summer foot exposure while the padded foot bed gives comfort and shock absorption. A nice touch is the leather lining under the toes which will look neater after several months of wear. My only criticism is that the toe straps feel a little stiff so this shoe may not be my favorite walking sandal which is why I only gave it a 4 star rating. But you will be hard pressed to find another well made summer shoe which is stylish and with comfort features.
