Customer Reviews Dansko Nelly

Comfort and Good Looks - I love my new Dansko Nelly! It fits well, is comfortable and looks great with jeans and skirts.

Just what I was looking for - I searched for a month for a fall shoe that had a unique color shade (I have the toast nappa) that would go with most everything, was comfortable enough to wear all day and walk in, but was also stylish. This is the shoe! I hope to be wearing these for years to come. Note- I am a solid 10, and wear a 41 in Dansko’s.

Wonderful shoes - I really, really like Dansko shoes to begin with but these are extra cute and very comfortable.

Dansko Nelly - Very cute shoe! Finally a Dansko that is not so frumpy! First pair I ordered were tight in the toe box. I wear a US size 8 and ordered a 38, the size I usually wear in a Dansko. So I sent them back and got a 39 and they fit fine. It was my first experience returning a shoe from Zappos and they do live up to their reputation. Zappos was great on the phone and I received the second pair overnight.

I love this shoe! Very cute and comfy so far. I think it will become one of my favorites, although I've only worn it a few times. I should have listened to others advice about sizing. I also had to reorder the shoe in a larger size. I normally wear a 37 in Dansko's, but the 37 was too short. I reordered in a 38 and it fits great.

Cute shoe! I ordered a 39 and 40, but returned the 39. Felt 1/2 size small. Very comfy! Can't wait to wear with tights and skirts this fall!

Super cute and sexy shoes! These are some great shoes! Just keep in mind that European shoes are more narrow and do not have as high of an arch as American shoes. They also do not come in half sizes which has been a slight problem for me since I have small but wide feet. A shoe stretcher works great for this problem though...you just have to stretch them slowly. Overall I would recommend them...and they are soo cute!

Perfect - I am not a fan of traditional heels, but like the extra sass of platform or wedge height. These shoes are the perfect marriage of functionality, comfort, and style for me. They have the typical Dansko comfort and support, but aren't as stodgy and dull-looking as regular Dansko clogs. In fact, the wedge maryjane style is really perfect for both casual wear and professional wear- I even wore them with a cocktail dress to a 20s party! Plus, the Toast Nappa color (which is lighter than in this picture by far) is a nice caramel shade that is really noticeable in a good way. I hope to be wearing these shoes for years to come. They do run a size larger than normal- I usually wear a 10 in all American shoes, but in Dansko’s (and Campers for that matter) I'm a 41, which they usually say is an 11.

Versatile and comfortable - I am not someone who wears high heels, so I was apprehensive about trying these shoes - but they have proven that heels can be comfortable (if not quite as comfortable as flats :)). I am generally a 7-8, depending on the shoe. I ordered an 8 and it fits nicely, though I made the mistake of wearing loose socks with them the first day - not a good plan. With a relatively thin, well-fitted sock, and after a break-in period of a couple of days, these shoes became quite comfortable. The foot bed is soft and carefully shaped so that my weight is supported without taxing individual points on my feet, which is often a discomfort factor for me with heeled shoes. I can wear them all day at work (and I teach, so I'm on my feet most of the day) without discomfort. I even wore them without socks without any major sweatiness issues. And they're super cute! I highly recommend these shoes, even to the heel-challenged.

Finally a wedge! I was so excited when I finally found a trendy looking wedge from Dansko. I've been searching for months! I am very happy with the heal height and make of the shoe. I've worn these shoes off and on for about 2 weeks. Some days they hurt my feet and other times they feel great. I think once the leather stretches they'll become my favorite shoe. Planning to order a second color. The first size I ordered was too small and when I went to buy a bigger size it was not available with Zappos. Now a few weeks later the size is available. This is the only negative situation I've ran into with Zappos, otherwise they're great!

Love this style! The Nelly shoe is both stylish and comfortable. I am so thrilled over the heel height. Being vertically challenged, I need a higher heel to lengthen my legs. This shoe is fantastic. The second pair I received (the first pair, I didn't care for the color), fits true to size. The first pair was a smidge too big. But I think this can be true of all Dansko shoes... Aren't they handcrafted? This could be the reason for variation. Anyway, the Nelly is well worth every penny. And as always, Zappos.com is a dream come true. Free overnight shipping? Free returns? I'm in heaven :)

Very stylish! These shoes are very stylish and very comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn't keep them because I was in between sizes. I usually wear a 39 in Danskos, but my toes hit the front in a 39. I tried the 40, which was too big in the strap. If I could have gotten a 39.5, they would have been perfect. If they ever make half-sizes in these, I will definitely re-order.

FINALLY! A shoe that is truly comfortable! I began work at an airport 6 months ago, and I've been trying to find the perfect shoe that is comfortable all day since I am on my feet running around. At work I'm actually supposed to wear a pump, but I have very short feet that are really wide in the toes. I found that wide shoes are nice for my toes, but then the heel is also wide and I walk right out of my shoes! So I had no choice but to wear a buckled shoe. This one was comfortable from the first minute, and I just finished wearing them all day for 5 days at work and my feet feel great! It's also nice that the insole can be removed, and I inserted my memory foam insoles which make these even MORE comfortable. Even though this shoe only comes in a medium width, they are plenty wide and I have lots of room for my toes - and entire foot. Actually, without the buckle, my feet would fall out of this shoe, too. The rubber platform and heel also give it a nice comfortable feeling when walking. I have also received many compliments on the look of the shoe. I highly recommend this shoe!

Dansko "Nelly" These shoes are really much prettier in person, I been hooked on the clog by Dansko for years, I just can't seem wear them out, But I wanted a shoe with some style, So I thought I'd try this new heal and I'm very happy I did. I received them in 20 hours!

These shoes have the new 3 inch wedge heels. I have two pairs of the "nyla" sandals which I LOVE and I was hoping they would come out with a fall shoe that had the wedge heel. This is a cool looking shoe. It is comfortable, although alas not as comfortable as the Professional. It is much better looking though.

A comfortable shoe with a heel? Yes, that is right! I bought these to go with pants and skirts and these fit the bill. These are comfortable for short term and long term wear. I wish they had them in black because I would have bought those, too!

Not Bad for Dansko - I had ordered size 40 and needed the 41. They ran small. I have a wide foot so the ridge around the toe box rubs a little. Will be fine once they stretch. I love the height. I'm a teacher and use to wearing high heel shoes. I'm glad to see that Dansko is coming out with something stylish. The arch support is nothing like the professional clog, but I was okay wearing the shoes all day long.

Really nice looking shoe but... I have really bad feet problems, and when I read previous reviews from other buyers that swore that these shoes could be worn all day, I bit the bait. As a hair stylist, I am on my feet a lot, I have had prior foot surgery, so my shoes are practical and not near as cute as I want. This shoe is so cute but... I can't wear for more than a couple of hours and then I must change back to my practical tennis shoes. The price isn't a factor for shoes, I think the price is reasonable. Buy this shoe for a few hours of enjoyment. I will now wear these for something other than work, which is fine. I did order up a size as suggested and that worked great. BTW... I am flat footed and the arch fatiques my foot a little, but it may be great for normal feet.

Great shoes - These are comfortable shoes, but they are a little tight across my foot right before the toes. They look great!

Wanted them in black - Very cute and quite comfortable for someone not used to wearing a high shoe. I'm a massage therapist who is on her feet (almost always Dansko feet) all day and wore these with no problems.

All looks and some comfort - My podiatrist suggested Dansko as the best for the foot. I do have slightly wide feet, which these are average width, but I'd hoped for more comfort. I was looking for some heal but on my feet for almost 10 hours comfort was very important. For my situation, I wouldn't really put the blame on the shoe.

Wonderful dress shoe and cute as a button! Not quite as comfortable as some of my other Dansko shoes, but the fact you can wear it with anything makes up for it. I only wish the heel was a little less high....maybe about 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" rather than 3". I think with a little lower heel, the shoe would be perfect! Dansko...keep making more of the dress shoes!

Minnie Mouse charm and height, too - Even though I've been a grown up for some time, I have had little experience with proper grown up (okay, high) shoes. If I was going to invest in such things for more than the occasional teeter into and out of a taxi, it would have to be Dansko- I am a devoted wearer of their clogs for work, where I am on my feet all day. I love the chunky maryjane style of these Nelly shoes. Are they as blissfully comfortable as my clogs, which I can easily wear for 10-12 hour shifts? Don't be ridiculous. Are they very stable and solid feeling (I have dodgy ankles) and comfortable enough for 8 hours of relative busy-ness? Definitely.

Comfortable shoe - For a heel this high these shoes are good for comfort...may run a bit smaller to size.

Maybe Nelly is sized small? I consistently wear a size 9 (EU: 39). This shoe felt unpleasantly tight, even without socks. You may want to size up. I ordered the 40. The shoe is super cute!
