As a veteran nurse of 25 years, this is my 2nd pair of Dansko Solstice, as it is a career staple. They are light weight and have great arch support. Very durable.
A must have, even better than Dansko professionals! Wish I had found them sooner!

Love them. They're a bit chunky, but instantly comfortable. Not your ordinary orthopedic shoes -- even family complimented the style!

Typically I wear a 37 in Danskos. The 37 was way too tight, so I ordered the 38's thinking it's a clog...if it's a little big that's okay. The 38's are way too big. I wish that I hadn't worn them and returned them.

I bought these for a trip to San Francisco as a chaperone -- I did 3 days walking 12 hours a day in these shoes, and they were the most comfortable shoes I ever could have worn! Muscles never hurt, feet never hurt (after a walk across the GG Bridge!) Best comfort shoes ever!

I was very pleased with how this shoe fit. I have a bunion on one side and it doesn't bother it at all. Comfortable right out of the box.

Love this shoe, I have been searching for a shoe to help with support and foot pain, tried on at store front before purchasing from Zappos to make sure they fit. Read reviews so I put a dab of e6000 glue behide each button to secure and prevent the loss. Yes they do scuff but nothing a good polish won't take care of. I Have 3 pairs in different colors, the only shoes I wear all day long because of the support and helps with my foot pain. I can no longer go barefoot. Tried Keen brand of shoes for the support but they were much too wide so returned them.

My first pair of Danskos. Not the immediate comfort I expected, but have broken them in and they are great now.

Love Danskos. These were a little tight at first, took two or three wearings to feel better. Great support! Nice look, too.

If you have a high instep or a thick foot, this is not the shoe for you.

After a few weeks, I finally love this shoe. I normally wear an 8. I ordered size 38, and they were way too small. I returned them for a size 39. They fit much better, but seemed too narrow at first. The first 4 or 5 times I wore them, they were uncomfortable by the end of the day. After a few weeks of wearing them almost every day, they are perfect. They must have stretched out some in the width. I love them now!

I decided to buy these shoes after speaking with my daughter-in-law. She's in medical school and told me that she can wear them all day and night long while doing rounds etc. I figured if they worked for her they would be great for me. The shoes are good solid shoes that I can wear with pants and jeans and walk the length of a shopping mall or walk my dog around the neighborhood. These are now my 2nd pair. I bought another pair in brown.

I think these shoes are cute; however, they were too big. I normally wear a 40 and order that size but they slip way too much. Unfortunately, I threw the box away before I had a chance to wear them and now I am stuck with them and can't return them.

Was concerned at 1st that these would not fit properly becusae of the Euro sizing, but after a few hours of wear, they loosened enough and have become quite comfy! I wear these for over 16 hours in a day in the snow and ice and my feet were very warm and toasty!

I ordered these shoes on the advise of my daughter who is an O.R. nurse and on her feet all day. I found them a bit tight at first but very comfortable after wearing them for a while. Good support and still stylish. I would buy them again.

I bought these in 3 colors! I have always been comfortable with the Dansko Professional, but when I saw these and how stylish they were, I had to try them. They were immediately comfortable and to size. My husband even commented on how nice they look. And he did not like the Professionals - too clunky.

Great shoes, as all Danskos are. I've never had a pair that I didn't love. I wear them for 3-12 hour shifts a week, oftentimes it's 3 in a row. I can't do that in any other shoe, except for Frye boots, but can't wear them to work. Highly recommended!

These shoes are great. The fit is perfect and I can wear them 12+ hours a day and my feet still feel great. I have been wearing Dansko\'s for over 10 years both for work and play. They are awesome.

These shoes were very comfortable while working in the hospital setting with all of the walking, standing, and sometimes running that has to be done as a nurse. Thank you Dansko for another great product! I will be purchasing your product from Zappos again.

I love Danskos, but it's always tough for me to get the right fit with the traditional style. I've been told time and time again that, when fitting properly, Danskos should allow your foot to rise and fall slightly out of the back of the shoe. With other styles, my heel is either too snug or it was lifting completely out of the back and causing the shoe to practically fall off. The "Solstice" fits me just right. The extra cushion in the foot bed is super-comfy and appeals to me more than the traditional Dansko shoe, which lacks cushion. A few people mentioned that their socks were slouching (I assume from the slight rise and fall of the heel); that doesn't happen to me (maybe my socks are better fitting at top, not sure). I typically wear a 6.5 and bought the 37. I had to try on two pairs before finding the perfect fit. The reddish color is very nice, a deep burgundy, with a nice sheen.
