Customer Reviews Dansko Solstice

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 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.

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.

I have to agree with the reviews about narrow size. I've been a big fan of Dansko until now. I ordered these and needed to wear them out of the box and have regretted it. I kept hoping that they would loosen up. They are too tight and now I can't return them. The material also remained uncomfortably stiff. Wide feet gals should avoid this model!

Definitely different fit than the Professional clogs- tighter over the instep. But I got the same size as my Professionals, and they fit a little tighter than I expected, but not really too small. I really love these, except for one thing, about a month after I got them, they started to squeak when I walk. First one shoe, now both. And loud. I honestly won't wear them in too quiet an environment, it's embarrassing. I try to keep wearing them (at least 2-3 times a week), hoping they'll break in and the squeaking will stop- but it's been more than 8 months. I haven't taken them to a cobbler. I suspect there is nothing they can do with this sealed plastic construction anyway. A little disappointed in Dansko.

It has never pained me so to return shoes. I love the styling of these, and despite having had four other pair of Dansko shoes, absolutely could not get a pair in this style to fit. I am about a 8 1/2. My toes banged on the front of the size 39, and the size 40 were so big they were falling off my feet. What beautiful shoes. If only they fit better. Perhaps Dansko could offer these in narrow width, so I could order up a size so they'd be long enough, but not so big as to be falling off my feet!

Toebox is not wide enough, too tight across the front of the foot. Look really cute, but need a narrow foot to fit in them.

The love the way the show felt, so much better than the traditional clog! I hate how the button breaks off. Total design flaw and after two pairs had to call it quits!

Comfortable shoe but disappointed with quality. Leather scuffs very easily and continual problems with buttons on the side falling off.
