I ordered the Dansko Solstice clogs in European size 43 and they fit my US size 12 feet perfectly. The descriptions I read all said "Shoe Size: Felt true to size", but I'm glad I ordered a size up. I had ordered a pair of the Dansko Volley sneakers in the pretty blue floral in European size 42 (which is supposed to be US size 11.5-12) and couldn't fit my foot in them. I would suggest ordering the next size up if you have a larger foot. The width does seem correct.

Felt narrow compared to the same size of another style Dansko shoe. After about 3 months one of the side "button" covers came off leaving a silver holder exposed.

These are my first Danskos and they are quite nice. It takes a while to get used to the fact that they sort of slip. They are good daily office shoes - very comfy.

I love these shoes, but the sizing is way off! I have been wearing Danskos for almost ten years, and I always wear a 37. I first ordered these in a 37, and they were so tight! I sized up to a 38, and they are perfect. I haven't had the button problems that other people have mentioned. I really like the restyled sole on these. It's more feminine and modern than the original style.

I really like the fit of these shoes. However, the first pair I had starting getting an annoying squeaking sound. Zappos was great in sending me a second pair to try. Unfortunately, the second pair starting getting a squeaking sound.

This is a comfortable and one of the more stylish Danksos I've seen. The heel and toe box fits nicely. The only problem I've been having is my right foot I think is slightly bigger than my left. The very top of the shoe where the seem comes together rubs it all day long and I've actually gotten a bruise there. I just hope that the shoes stretches out there. Other than that, I've gotten tons of compliments on this great looking and otherwise comfortable shoe that I could wear all day long!

I ordered my usual size 11, first and had to send it back because it was too small/narrow. Now I have the size 12, and while they are cute and comfortable the back rubs my socks down as I walk. Hoping as I break them in that will stop. I love Danskos, and love the look of these. Get lots of compliments!

I have only been wearing them in the house for now. I am finding they have a pressure spots. They are not as comfortable as the marble patten and the brown tooled I have been wearing. The blacd tooled clogs also seem to bother my feet as well.

The shoe is beautiful and fits according to size. I was disappointed that after wearing them only two or three times, the button on the side of the shoe broke! I have taken the shoe to several reputable shoe repair shops and none of them are able to replace the button, so I am faced with coming up with an alternate idea on how to repair the shoe.

Cute shoe and love the weight of it, but very snug and felt a half size too small. This shoe is going back and trying a different model Dansko (which I generally love).

Purchased these in my normal shoe size, and were too small. They also scratched easily, and a piece of leather chipped off within the first wearing. Exchanged for a larger pair, and love them. Have had no problems. Great color and style. Definitely recommend Dansko's...comfortable and high quality shoe. Will be wearing these for years.

I love Dansko! However, I have a hard time finding Dansko's that fit well. I ordered 3 pairs and kept this pair. I wear a size 5 shoes. This pair fit. I do have a wear a thicker sock for a perfect fit, but they fit. Very comfortable, yet stylish with jean.

First time I have ever ordered Dansko clogs. It says they fit up to a size 13 but they were more a 12.5 to me. I had to return all of the closed heel styles that I ordered. The only ones that worked for me were open heel type.

Great shoe for most people but I have back problems and I need a shoe that is a bit softer around and the Klogs USA shoes are more for me.

These shoes are so comfortable! However, they scuff easily (I guess the leather is not really good quality) and the top half of the buttons on the sides came off after just a couple of weeks of wear. I called the good people at Zappos to see whether they could send me replacement buttons and they just replaced the shoes! You cannot beat that! But now I have to really watch out for when they come off the next time so that I do not lose them and crazy glue them back. Also, they run a little small. I am an 8 and had to order the 39.

I wanted to love these. I own several pairs of Danskos that are fantastic. The Solstice footbed actually fits me better than the classic clogs because they are a bit narrower.
However, the back of the heel dug into my ankle and rubbed my skin raw. If it weren't for that, I would have rated them a 5 for comfort.

Love the style of this shoe -- it's not as clunky or heavy as the Professional Dansko. Beware on the sizing: I've never worn a 9.5-10 shoe, but I needed a 40 in these.

This is my first pair of Dankso's. I had tried another style and found that they didn't fit well. These shoes I had to break in for a couple days. I ordered the 8 1/2 which is what I normally wear and these felt pretty good. I noticed that one of my big toes would hit the front of my shoe which did cause some cramping. I don't have this issue anymore. Also, the first dozen times I wore them, my socks would end up around my ankles. I tried different types of socks and still I was pulling them up. This was very annoying, but I no longer have this issue. Loving the shoes now!

I had to return my 37s for 38s, but the 38s fit beautifully, and they are so comfortable that I can take long walks in them. I have also received compliments on the way they look. I'm very happy with these clogs.

Had to return the first pair because they felt very tight all over, mainly in the heel area. Hopefully the second pair will be better in size! I loved the color of the shoe and it was very lightweight.

This is my first pair of Dansko clog, and I'm really pleased with the overall comfort of this shoe as I usually have terrible foot pain. It's not too clunky or heavy like the Professional, and I wear them everywhere. But be careful with the fit; take into consideration that this shoe definitely is tight/narrow around the top of the foot and the heel lip digs into the ankles, which created painful blisters. I quickly fixed this by taking them to my shoe cobbler who stretched them and straightened out the heel lip. I have no problems with them now, and are hands down the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I was just a little disappointed that I had to make adjustments--and pay a little extra money--to a brand new pair of shoes. But it was absolutely worth it!

These clogs are as all Danskos are, very cute, but this particular style has a strange arch placement. On my foot it hit too far forward, where my arch starts its rise from front to back is where it hit. If the arch hits your arch in the right place, the support would be fabulous! They are a little stiff, but not a as heavy as other Danskos I own.

Love the shoes but the button fell off on the very first day! Still keeping them but disappointed that this would happen on a pair of expensive shoes.

I did end up getting these shoes a bit bigger than my other Dansko\'s. They were a bit tight. I have a very high arch and found the shoe was tight at the top of the foot. The bigger size is very comfortable. I\'m hoping they don\'t stretch out too much and become too big, but they\'re great for now.

Great shoe, like I'd expect from Dansko. But just a couple weeks after wearing, one of the buttons came off and is no where to be found! I've thrown away the boxes and receipts, but hoping I can call Zappos to get a replacement pair. Such a disappointment for a this price for a shoe. Is the Dansko brand going downhill?
