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?

I am a teacher and I have worn this shoe five days a week for an entire school year. (That's 10 months of almost daily wear and tear.) This shoe is amazingly comfortable and sturdy (except for the buttons). As other reviews have mentioned, this shoe needs breaking in. I will admit that I was in utter pain for the first month of wearing this shoe. After that, the pain was gone and my feet were amazingly comfortable. My energy was back and I stopped noticing the pain of standing all day long. The shoes still look great and I still receive compliments.

I usually always wear a size 36 with thick socks and have no problem, but my heel kept rubbing against the shoe, causing blisters. I have tried the next shoe size, and it was too big so I am trying to just wear these shoes with extra thin socks but, they still rub so I am rather disappointed in the shoe.

So, these shoes have changed my life! I have to stand up at work for 9+ hours each day. I was coming home from work and aching all over with sore feet until I stumbled across these shoes. They are AMAZING. I have worn them to work every single day since getting them two months ago! I have one complaint though. Today at work, one of the buttons fell off :( When the button fell off the flap was not secured anymore. Thank goodness I found the button, but for the price, I don't think it should have fallen off after two months.

I like these Danskos because they were designed with a narrower heel. I still have some slippage, but not enough to aggravate. Very comfortable, stable, and I wear them daily as I am out and about in the community.

Great shoe. Lighter in weight than the Professionals I’ve worn in the past, but just as comfortable for long days in retail management on concrete. A little tight across my high instep, but a few overnights with a tennis ball placed in the shoe made it perfectly comfy. If you’re looking for long lived comfort and value for your dollar, Dansko is the shoe for you!

I have always been a fan of Dansko. These shoes are no different. I love them. From the first time I put them on, they were so comfy! They are worth every penny! Zappos service is second to none! Honestly, why would you shop anyplace else? Keep up the great customer service!

Nice looking; runs a bit closer fitting than the Professional, which is what I was looking for to go with my pants that don\'t quite fit over the top of my Professionals. This shoe is also probably more narrow than the regular clogs, as it fit well for me and I wear the narrow in the Professional. Sole is not at all as supportive as the Professional, though, which is what I need for my plantar fasciitis. So am having to wear these with my orthotics; a bit tight at first on the small toes, but shoes have broken in now and work with my orthotics.

These shoes are cute, but seem a little short compared with typical shoe sizing. They also are narrower than typical Danskos - good if you have slim feet.

This shoe is really comfortable. I have a high arch and need good arch support; the second I put the shoe on I knew it was a keeper! It's a little clunky looking, but not bad with cords and jeans.

Very comfortable, really a great shoe. My last pair of Danskos were about five years old; these don't seem to have been made with the same quality, which I was sad to see, but overall I do love them.

Fantastically comfortable shoes, I had to go with the next size up because my \'normal\' size was too small. These are much cuter than the \'professional\' ones and still really comfortable if you\'re on your feet a lot. I\'m still getting used to my heel coming up in the back (they\'re supposed to do that) but all in all I am very happy.

I purchased the Dansko Solstice in black brush-up size 37. I have five other pair of Dansko, all size 37. The Solstice fits a bit small. I think it\'s barely a 37, but I compared a 38 at a retail store and that was way too big. I have a narrow foot and high arch. I think anyone with a wider foot may find these confining. They also required a bit of break-in time, something I\'ve not experienced with other Danskos. I love the style and they are much lighter than other Dansko clog-types I own. Also the leather seems of high quality and appears to be very durable.

These are lovely Danskos, but the heel is much narrower than a standard Dansko. I'm somewhere between a 36 and 37, but in this particular style, the 36 feels very small, and I'm swimming in a 37. Bummer, considering how much I like the look of the solstice!

Great shoe...except when the buttons fall off. They are impossible to sew back on. Stick with the Danskos that do not have straps/buttons.

Weird toe bump in the design. I wasn't a fan. If you're a 12, order 43s from Dansko pending the cut of the shoe. Not all Dansko are available in 43 for women.

I love this style, but I'm on my third pair because the button on one shoe was somehow torn off, and the button cover on another was torn off. I didn't even notice till later. But props because Dansko replaced them for free each time at the Walking Co. If I'd known that the buttons fell off that easily, I wouldn't have bought them to start with, though. I love Danskos overallI have about 10 pairs -- clogs and sandals -- and just ordered two more.

This is a good-looking and stylish shoe. I was disappointed to find that it didn't have a removable footbed to accomodate my orthotics. In addition, it felt quite small for a shoe purporting to be a 7.5 to 8, which is my usual size.

This shoe was way too tight, and I have three other styles in size 40 that fit perfectly. Thank you Zappos for your return policy and process. I will try the 41.

I always wear Dansko shoes for work. I am a pharmacist and on my feet all day and need good shoes. These are very comfortable and stylish. One of the shoes was "crushed" somewhat, it looked like someone bent the shoe in half while the other shoe looked perfect. That was a disappointment because I have never had any problems with items from Zappos before. I should have exchanged it for another pair, but I wanted to wear them and was afraid the same thing might happen.
