Customer Reviews Dansko Solstice

Alas this is the 3rd pair of Danskos I have tried. I have a very hard foot to fit. I need a wide width and have a fairly high in-step. I read a review that suggested this style due to the cut out and elastic was more comfortable for high in-step. Unfortunately that was not the case. It fit as tight as the other Danskos I tried. As far as Zappos goes I couldn't be happier. Despite all the returns I have made I have never had any problems. The service is outstanding.

This is the first pair of Dansko's I've ever tried that were not comfortable. The toe end juts forward at the top, so my toes uncomfortably rammed into the base. Also, the heel area is stiff and rubs. They look cute, but back they go.

Love how they're lighter and not as clunky as the Professional clogs, but I'm sad to say the button fell off after a week or two of wear. Since Zappos is out of stock in my size, Dansko is going to accept a return. I'm going to try the Stacie because I think the button may fall off again. Took me a couple of days to break them in. Sad -- I really do like them!

I swear by Dansko for sandals and clogs and was very excited to see something a little more stylish. They are incredibly comfortable. I wear them when I travel and walk for miles in them. However, the first time I wore them, the tops became all scuffed up (even though I applied the conditioner as recommended) and about three weeks later, the button that holds the strap came off and now the strap flaps around so I will have to have it repaired.

I am returning this shoe because it is very narrow and runs small. Additionally, it does not feel as solid as the Dansko shoes I am used to. I wear a 7.5 in sneakers and usually a 37 from Dansko - but this time the shoe was way too small.

This is a very comfortable shoe. The sole is a bit softer than the Professional styles. I did order one size up from my usual. The fit is a bit loose, but with a little padding it will work. It's doubtful that my regular size would have fit. One thing I did not like - the color has already faded from the front of one of the shoes. I had this happen before with a Dansko product. I didn't seek redress that time because I was very happy with the shoes, but now at less than a year old they definitely show significant fading. I hope that the color fading on the Solstice doesn't progress.

Good looking clogs. My first pair of Dankso Solstice. I've worn Dankso Professional for years. Solstice clogs felt weird out of the box; assumed that I needed to become accustomed to a different style of clog--so I did not return to Zappos. I ended up donating to a thrift store to get them out of the house. Size 38 Solstice is a different fit than the Dankso Professional size 38. The shoe did not seem to be a wrong size; however, after a day in the clogs, my toes were sad little beasties. Not squeezed--but repeatedly smashed into the front of the shoe. (Sounds like clog was too big? But I think just not a style that fits my foot).

This was my first pair of Dansko shoes ordered. The friends that I have who own them swear by them, and the reviews seemed promising. I do not have a local retailer for this product to try on a pair so I ordered them sight unseen. There was a three week break-in period that was very unpleasant. I have very high arches and the top of the shoe was very constricting until it finally stretched out. I'm not sure I'm really a fan. It is a regular footbed, loads of room in the toes by an extremely hard heel. This was not a great first impression to this raved about shoe.

I am a Dansko maven, but although I tried to like these shoes, I couldn\'t. They were too narrow, too short and the back of the shoe rubbed my heel. I have about a dozen pairs of Dansko clogs, and they all fit a tad differently, but the Solstice did not fit as expected. I am a size 37, and I usually have toe wiggle room, my foot sits flat and there is no rubbing whatsoever in any of my clogs. The Solstice style is very pretty, and the color is deep and rich, but those features weren\'t enough to keep these shoes. I sent them back.

I bought these shoes because they were a sleeker look for the dansko. It took wearing these shoes for a full day to realize that that cute band going across the top was actually pressing down on my foot. Unfortunately that band is in exactly the wrong place for the shape of my foot. I thought that if I wore them long enough the shoe would give way and stretch a little for me. After months of trying and the bumps on my feet not going down I decided I was done. I wish that band had a little more elasticity to it, then it might not have hurt.

I've been a Dankso wearer for a very long time. I love their shoes. I usually wear the professional clog, volley, and various sandals. I purchased this shoe with certainly that I'd love it as much as my other Danksos, but sadly, this pair is a real disappointment. The side button fell off one of the shoes early on, after purchase. I had it glued back on, but it was lost somewhere weeks later. The leather or something in the make is different as well because my feet sweat like dogs in the sauna when I wear them. This pair wasn't enough to make me leave Dansko for good, but I'll certainly keep a pulse on other options. (Still love Zappos though!)

Very disappointed. I have worn Dansko for years -- not the heavier boxier styles but the others like Solstice. Past couple years noticed a major manufacturing flaw. I walk a lot and after only a couple months the heels crack right at the base of the arch. Third time this has happened. Will not risk again. This price for three months is not worth it (and all the cobblers can do is glue the sections and put a rubber tread underneath -- but the crack reappears a few months later). My shoe repair guy says he's seeing this happen to a lot of people. Dansko, please get your quality control in order so I can come back!

I would never buy this product again. I have the traditional Danskos in brown that I wear almost every day and after 2 days they scuffed to white and now 1 year later (wearing 1 every 2 weeks or so) the button came off...not durable and not worth the money. Also can be uncomfortable.

I love this shoe but am very disappointed that the button cover fell off of one of the shoes. I won't wear them out anymore, only wore them a few times.

Button keeps coming off! I have worn these shoes for 3 months and have had to have the button put back on by a cobbler twice! Ugh! I am not happy with this shoe at all. After paying this much for a pair of shoes I expect better.

Bought one pair. Button popped off four days later. Exchanged them. Button popped off the same week. Terrible design (but very comfortable and cute!).

I got these because I liked the styling and thought they would look good with white summer slacks. They looked good, but felt awful. I blistered each time I wore them. They did not hold up with the buttons popping off within days. Do not waste your money, just buy the Dansko shoes. You get what you pay for!

Great shoes! My second pair. I have a bad bunion and I can wear these shoes for hours pain free! They do run narrow which I love!

Generally seems smaller than other Dansko clogs. Disappointing from that perspective.

I love this shoe! I have been hesitant to spend this much on a pair of shoes; however, my feet and back will no longer allow me to wear anything but Dansko's or a similar quality shoe. Zappos was great and the website was easy to navigate as well.

Awesome! Even more comfortable than the classic "professional" clogs because the sole is made of a lighter, more springy synthetic material. They are a tiny bit more narrow at the toe than the professional style, but have a slimmer look, not so clunky. I stand all day every day at my job and, in these clogs, my feet still go home happy!
