Customer Reviews Dansko Mandolin

Love them! I love these shoes so much that I bought them in black and brown. Very comfy! These shoes are great for wide feet.

Comfy shoes for teachers - As I enter the "twilight years" of my career as an art teacher, the linoleum floors in my busy classroom take a toll on my feet and legs. These shoes quickly became my favorites. I can wear them without my inserts and not have painful hips and knees at the end of the day. They have cushion and adequate support plus I love the design. It is a modified version of those comfortable old loafers!

Gift Giving - These shoes were purchased as a gift for my friend. She had a pair in which she messed up at her work with paint. She loves the quality, I like how they look on her, and she says the fit is great and they are very comfortable. She said when she wears them her back does not hurt. So no complaints here. Thank You.

Great shoe, Great Zappos - I am very pleased with my shoes. They are very supportive. I am a nurse and on my feet for 12 to 14 hrs at a time. It did take some getting used to wearing the shoes, but my feet, legs, and back do not ache like they used to hurt. They also look great. I get compliments all the time. This is the first time I have shopped through Zappos and it was a great experience. I will use Zappos again and will tell me friends.

So cute and comfy, too! I love these shoes! Typical Dansko comfort, softer leather than the Professional Clogs, but just as comfortable. These look great with slacks or jeans and the center detail gets a lot of compliments, even my boyfriend said they are cute!

Great Looking Shoe - I have been wearing Danskos for years and always an advocate of the shoes, but I have to say the Mandolin is the first pair I have ever received compliments on. I have lost count of the number of people that have told me they liked my shoes. I even received a comment from a man as I was standing in line at a cafe. The shoes are very comfortable and I wear them with jeans and slacks.

Great shoe! I love this shoe. Wear to work every day and my feet don't ache at the end of the day.

Beautiful Leather Embossing - The embossing on these is beautiful. They look more expensive than they are. I love these shoes, they are just right for my job in a professional office. The reason I only gave them a three on comfort is because they have this little area at the back of the shoe that is quite rough and I had to get some inserts to cover this area that constantly scratched my heel. I love the full toe box, it keeps my little piggies happy! I ordered my usual size.

Uber Cute and Comfy! This is my first pair of Dansko and I must say they are worthy every penny paid. They were a little snug to start so they rubbed on the back of my heel, but they stretched quickly and I no longer have any discomfort. They are true to size. Interesting detail on top of shoe that keeps it from being boring and yet it's subtle enough that it can go with most outfits.

Dansko Mandolin - These shoes are so comfortable! I walk about 2 miles a day in my commute to/from work, and these have felt good from the first day I wore them. Lots of compliments.

Great shoe! Dansko shoes were recommended to me by my podiatrist. I was worried that there wouldn't be any styles for office wear etc. but I was wrong. The embossed design is a nice touch. My only 'minus' is that the heel is a bit loose for me, but otherwise a great shoe.

Pretty Shoe - This is a very attractive shoe and is very versatile. It looks good with pants or jeans. It is fairly comfortable with a good arch support. In order to get a size 8, I had to order a 7.5-8.0. The shoe was a bit snug in the beginning but quickly adapted to my foot. I have received quite a few compliments on this shoe.

I love the shoe, but the fit is off a bit. I ordered a size smaller and they were too small. I ordered a size up and they are loose. I have added shoe inserts at front and rear to shoe to get the fit I want. I little unfortunate at this price. But, don't get me wrong...I love the shoe and just could not go through the return process again.

Love them! These might feel odd if you've never worn Danskos, but I'm used to them. The heels are made to slip, and they're supposed to feel a little loose. That's one of the things that makes them so comfy. These are great with jeans and pants. The arch sits lower than the Professional, otherwise same type of feel. I did go a full size up on these. I'm glad I tried them on in the store. Someone mentioned they weren't comfortable near the toe, they probably needed a bigger size. I'm an 8.5, wear a 39 in Dansko. The 39s were pressing against the bottom of my toes also, so they gave me a 40 and they fit great. I love these!

This shoe fits a little differently than traditional Dansko shoes – a little smaller than the clogs. But the width is still nice and generous. I just had to buy a 42 instead of 41. I love the tooled pattern on the top of the shoe.

Great shoe! I really like this Dansko. It's a little more feminine looking than the otherwise bulky Golden Gate styles. I have felt a little awkward in my Danskos before due to the large sole, but they are worth it for the comfort. Next to a good athletic shoe, they're the best I've found to walk all over a school campus in. Now my legs still won't ache, and I'll even feel a little more dressed up!

My First Danskos...and definitely not my last! I got these today; I ordered them yesterday! Zappos rocks when it comes to fast shipping and customer service. These were my first Danskos and I have already ordered another pair in black. I was looking for a shoe with excellent support that could withstand a day of walking and not leave me with achy feet and legs. After a day of walking in these, I am ready for more! I am a size 7 (somewhere between medium and wide) and 37 was perfect for me. There was no breaking in whatsoever, they look great (my feet actually look smaller while wearing these), and are even more comfortable than my sneakers. Thank you Zappos!

Good all-around shoe! This is a great shoe to go along with slacks or jeans. I can wear these to work at my office building and they get comments all the time about how cute they are. They felt a little 'clunky' when I first started wearing them and now I'm used to their style. I really like them. When I was breaking them in, I felt some soreness on the top of my shoe while I was getting used to them, but that went away pretty quickly. I like the rocking style to the sole of the shoe – makes walking a breeze! It took all of about an hour to get used to the slipping heel, just as the Zappos rep stated, but now I don't even notice it.

Dansko - This brand is my favorite for work (I work 12 hr shifts as a nurse). The styling is so cute that I like to wear them with slacks and jeans. They really dress up a pair of jeans. With dress trousers, they look as good as a pair of pumps. If you are new to the brand, you need to realize the heel fit is meant to be loose; this is part of the wearability of the shoe.

Great shoe for being on your feet and on the move! This is my second pair of Danskos and I am once again impressed with its quality. I wore my first pair for several years at work and often found myself hitting the pavement for long distances in them. They are more comfortable and have better support than any tennis shoe I have worn. When I decided I wanted to buy another pair of Danskos, I told myself I wanted to find something that didn't look as chunky as this shoe. After trying on a few other styles, I found that none of them are as comfortable as this style. So I decided to stick with what works and am happy that I did. It does help that the top of this shoe has a design embossed into the leather, which makes it a little prettier than my previous pair.

Awesome shoes - If you are looking for shoes Zappos has the best customer service. I was supposed to get regular shipping and they gave me next day shipping. And they ended up being cheaper than the mall that I was going to buy them from except they didn't have my size... then I found out about Zappos.
