Dansko -
I swear by Dansko shoes for my nursing job. I am on my feet 14 hrs a day and these shoes feel great all day long.

Stylish and Comfortable -
I had recently purchased this simply because it is the only nursing shoes that captured my eyes. I was tired of seeing the same styles of clogs, plogs, and plain white rubber shoes. I am so happy I bought it because not only is it stylish, but surprisingly comfortable to wear. I work an average of 12 hours per shift and I'm on my feet most of the time but it never felt uncomfortable nor heavy. Most of all, I get compliments about it all the time!

Lovin' them -
I work hard but my new Dansko's work harder at keeping me comfy. I've always bought expensive running shoes to work in but never found anything more comfortable and durable. Two thumbs way up!

Great shoes, lightweight and comfy -
Size 38 had adequate toe room for even my wide feet but gapped in the back unless worn with thick socks (I usually take 7.5). They're really cute, but I returned them because I am thinnish and only 5'2 and these looked ENORMOUS on me, definitely out of proportion, like a Bratz doll shoe.

I am pain free!
I've had back problems, so I needed comfortable as possible shoes to wear as I am on my feet all day at work. I didn't want the clog style as I thought I might walk right out of them. The strap holds my foot well, as another review stated. I've had compliments on my nice looking shoes. My back does not hurt at all after nine hours! I need another pair to wear at home!

Best shoes EVER for my Plantar Fachiitus!
I work on my feet 6 hours a day. I've worn several different types of inner soles, orthodics. A co-worker reccommended this web-site for Dansko shoes. I pulled it up, seeked out this particular
shoe. (I've always LOVED "baby-doll" shoes)
Since they have an adjustable strap, I have no problems with them slipping at the heel. You know, these shoes are like therapy since I wear them 5 days a week. I usually don't spend anywhere close to this price for shoes,BUT I always will with Dansko!

This is my second pair of Dansko Maryjane and for some reason this second pair is not as comfortable as the first! There is something on the sides of the shoes that keep brushing the inside of my foot and make them uncomfortable. I can't wear them for a long time. My other pair I can wear all day! And get so many people stopping me to ask me where I got them!

This is my 5th pair of Dansko shoes. I still wear a pair I got 6 years ago as they hardly wear out! They really save my back and help with a foot issue I have. Anyway, this pair is as supportive and comfortable as I have come to expect from this brand. The only problem I had was finding the correct size. I ordered my regular size and it was way too small. I exchanged it for a size up and then too big. I exchanged one more time for the original size and it seemed to be okay. So, my experience was that there is definitely more fluctuation than usual in the sizing. I'm glad I took the time to get the right shoe.

The Marcelle\'s are just as comfortable as every other Dansko shoe I have owned. I did find that the sizing offered was a bit off and I had to order a size smaller than recommended. The strap can be a bit flimsy and I already had one pair break. Zappos was great with letting me return them and get a replacement!

I own four pairs of Danskos and love them, so I ordered this one when I saw how cute they were in the Professional clog style. I prefer the Marcelle, so I ordered that style. This particular style seems to run smaller than my other pairs so I exchanged the 37 for a 38. They fit better, but my feet do slip around a bit, which gives me less of a secure feeling than my other pairs. These definitely aren’t as comfortable as my older pairs of Danskos, but still pretty cute, so I’ll keep them. By the way, Zappos has the best customer service, bar none. They really do their best to keep their clients happy, so even though I saw these at a better price, I still bought them from Zappos because I know that if I ever have a problem, there will be someone willing to take care of my concerns. Thanks Zappos!

Love these shoes, but I am tired of having red feet! First I love these shoes. They fit well, and are super cute. I did notice that this pair was made in China. None of my other Danskos are. I also had to get a size smaller than I normally wear in the Marcelle style. My only complaint is that the dyes on the inside of the shoes are transferring to my socks and my feet! My toes are red and the soles of my feet are black from in insoles! I contacted Zappos and they told me, "Occasionally, leather uppers or linings may react with your body chemistry, transferring color onto your feet or hosiery. This is not a defect." I don't know. I have never had another pair of shoes do this. I am going to put up with it because I love these shoes, but I think the explanation is lame (especially with the price of these shoes).

Love the Petrol color. Had trouble with the fit on these. I had two pair of the same size and they fit differently. I know it doesn't make sense, but they don't run the same as my other Marcelles. I felt they ran a bit smaller. I loved the color so much, I had to keep them though!

I wanted a good casual shoe to wear for extended periods of time. I have chronic back problems and wear shoe orthotics for additional arch support as well. Being stylish is a priority for me, so I'm always frustrated at the lack of youthful and attractive shoes that provide adequate support and comfort. I ordered these in red patent and I was surprised to find that these shoes were much cuter than I was anticipating. I actually get quite a few compliments every time I wear them. Although, these shoes are heavier than most, I've been pleased to find that I can wear them for long periods of time without fatigue or pain in my back and legs. The "clog fit" feels a little more rigid and wide than most shoes, which takes a little getting used to.

I love the look of these shoes, but the strap is too short on the larger sizes! The strap is the same length on the 42s as it is on the small pairs. It really needs to be longer.

I usually base my shoe purchases on other customer reviews because I have such a hard time finding comfortable shoes to fit my feet. I have a wide, flat foot and I wear a size US 11 but always have to buy 42 in Dansko shoes. Almost all the reviews for this shoe were 5 stars for comfort...I received them the day after I ordered (thank you as always Zappos) and wore them in my office for 3 days before deciding to wear them outside. They felt fine inside but after a few minutes of walking on pavement, my baby toes were really aching and the balls of my feet felt sore because of how hard the insoles of the shoes are. I couldn't wear them for a few days but because I already wore them outside, I had to make a couple adjustments and try again. I am wearing them today but I had to put gel insoles in the tops to cushion my big toes and balls of my feet and I also had to put moleskin foam on each of my baby toes. They seem to be okay now. I hope that with wear they will be more comfortable, because I really love how they look - I got them in claret and they are so cute.

Some things to consider - I am generally pleased with the Marcelle and expect this product to last me a long time. It is a well made shoe with truly excellent arch support. However, I would suggest wearing at least a trouser sock with this shoe--especially if you have wide feet like me. I tried going without socks based on reviewers that stated the shoes were comfortable without socks and I was curious to see if that would hold true for me. Well, not true for me. There is a prominent inner seam that rubs. In the future, I won't choose this shoe to wear if I know walking for an extended period of time is a possibility. I got a pretty nasty blister from friction with the seam. On the upside the support is fantastic and I had no flair ups with my plantar fasciitis. Like one review mentioned, this shoe for me will be a going out to dinner, a movie, a coffee type shoe but not an on-your-feet-all-day-go-go-go type shoe. But, oh are they stylin'.

I purchased these shoes because they're very cute. I get compliments on them every time I wear them to work. However, they aren't made for twelve hour nursing shifts, even if I have to "break them in" first. I have worn them probably a total of 72-108 hours and they still haven't been broken in. If you've ever worn orthodontic braces, these shoes, to me, are the equivalent for my feet. I just feel like maybe I'm one of the only people on earth not made to wear Danskos. Give me Crocs or my Nikes, but to wear to the movies or anywhere else, they are fine.

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.
