Customer Reviews Dansko Savanna

This shoe is very cute but it is too narrow. It does not have the wide toe box that many Dansko shoes have. Also, the stitching across the top of the foot is stiff and tight. Unfortunately, this very cute shoe is not comfortable for me. I do have wide feet and a very small bunion, but in Dansko shoes with a wider front area my feet are fine.

Nice shoe, not quite as clunky as some other Danskos. Several co-workers complimented the cute trapunto design detail. Alas, these are too big overall for my "small volume" feet when worn with tights and not heavier socks. I put an 1/8" insole in the left shoe (my smaller foot) and there was still lots of room. I know Danskos are supposed to fit kind of loose -- I practically live in my Dansko clogs --but without socks to take up the extra space these slipped around too much when I walked. They are "true to size" for Dansko, but the style itself is very roomy.

I had been desperately searching for a professional but cute shoe I could wear with pants or skirts, while keeping my feet comfortable doing a lot of walking. After years of searching, I tried Danskos on the recommendation of a friend. I absolutely love these shoes. They have great arch support, good cushioning, and are comfortable to walk in all day long and this coming from someone whose feet are usually throbbing after a couple of hours. They are not orthopedic looking, just a super cute Mary Jane style. I would wear them even if they were not so cute, just for the comfort, but the cuteness is a bonus. They give me just a little extra height without the pain of a high heel. I love these shoes so much, that I am planning to order a new pair of Danskos for this winter. These are still in good shape - I just want another color. My only complaint is that the elastic at the buckles has pulled out and lost its stretch. So far this has not affected the wearability of these shoes. I am contemplating taking them to a shoe repair place to see if they can just put new elastic loops on there. Overall, I give this shoe an A-. I subtracted a star just because of the elastic issue. For comfort, though, I am now sold on Danskos.

I normally wear a 7 1/2 - 8 medium width shoe; the Danskos for me were too short in length, so I went up a size and they fit well in length but a little too wide, but I will wear thicker socks.

I love these shoes. They are super cute and way lighter than any other Danskos I have had (I think these are my 6th pair). The only problem is that they are narrow in the toe area (not a problem I have noticed before in other styles). I am hoping the leather will stretch, but I have worn them many times now. My only advice is not for the wide-footed.

The shoe is beautiful, but it does not the great arch support the traditional Dansko has. Also, it's tight across the front of the foot.

I wear nothing but Danskos and own 6 pair, all size 36. Be warned! This one fits like a shoe not a clog (heel tight) and I cannot even get my foot into the 36 -- I am probably a 37 or 38.

Awesome shoe! It\'s very comfortable. I wore it for the first time for 8 hours and no problem. It\'s stylish also. Worth your money and I love the arch support.

These are better than some other recent Dansko purchases (sent back). Since Dansko started making shoes in China the quality control has been spotty - I hope these hold up. I have worn Danskos for years since they work well with my high arches, wide feet, and plantar fasciitis. The arch support on these isn't as good as this footbed usually has. (I wish Zappos would have a search option for shoes with excellent arch support.)

Finally, Dansko is making shoes for the narrow-footed! These still have plenty of wiggle room in the toe box. The strap & buckle make them feel secure on my narrow-heeled feet. I\'m hesitating about keeping them only because they don\'t look like clogs - more like clunky Mary Janes I would have worn as an alternative-rock teenager of the mid-90s (on days when I wasn\'t in Docs). The embroidery heightens the effect so overall, it looks like a chunky shoe more than a narrow clog. Make sense? I may still keep them because they are so comfy, dressier than sneaks, and perfect for my on-my-feet school librarian job. I also recommend the Dansko Sally for narrow-footed ladies - the Savannas and Sallys have the same base, which is narrower and lighter-weight than traditional stapled clogs. One star off the Savanna because Dansko is making their buckle shoes with elastic to hold the buckle- which is supposed to provide some give when walking, but it wears down fast, stretches, and eventually breaks. (I\'ve replaced 3 of them on my cordovan Sallys!)

So I love these shoes, I've bought two pairs of them. But each pair broke, in the same place! Granted, I do put a lot of miles on them in the food service industry. But the elastic piece that attaches the buckle to the shoe, shreds to pieces and eventually snaps completely. Just a heads up...think I'll be switching to a different style this time around.

So sad that these didn't work for me. Rubbed the side of my pinkie toe to the point of blisters. Thank goodness for Zappos return policy! Now back to my quest for the perfect comfy shoe.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but they didn't work well for me. They looked great on and I really liked the style, but I quickly formed blisters on each foot and found them to be generally uncomfortable. I've worn Dansko's before, so maybe the strap made for a uncomfortable fit for me this time around. For now, I'm sticking to Clarks, Birkenstocks, Merrells, and Keens.

This shoe was very cute but I have many Danskos and my regular size was too small. Maybe someday I'll try the next size up.

These shoes are so cute and such a disappointment. I bought them in August for a trip to NYC and they seemed comfortable at first. But, the rub my right little toe in such a way that a corn is developing! A corn! I thought just old ladies got those. I finally had to stop wearing them and am hoping to find a way to really stretch the toe area so I can wear them again. Great Dansko quality and I love wearing these shoes with a skirt or pants, but I just couldn't torture my feet any longer and had to buy new shoes. :(

Very cute shoes. I wanted something a bit lighter for spring/summer. Unfortunately had to return them. The embroidery on the outside can be felt on the inside of the shoe, and was very irritating to my toes. No way I could have worn these all day. Too bad. Going back and will have to stick with a smooth leather or the more traditional clog.

Super cute shoes, but they were a half size smaller that usual and more narrow. I fit into most Dankso's so was very disappointed that they didn't fit.

I have owned many pairs of Dansko's in my life and I am very disappointed in this shoe. It does not meet the Dansko quality of support and comfort. It does not have the solid Dansko footbed and sole that I had expected. Instead this shoe feels like a pair of Skechers or Clarks or other similar comfort shoes, not Dansko's quality at all. I've worn them for a month and the sides still cut into my piggy toes, and my feet are narrow. I'm surprised Dansko would put their name on this shoe. Oh, they are cute!

I read all the reviews and everyone said order a size up so I did. The size up from mine was too big and I had to return them and order my regular size. Unfortunately my regular size was to tight in the width. I have never had a problem with my feet needed an extra wide shoe so I would have to say these run narrow...

This is the first Dansko shoe that\'s ever disappointed me. It\'s absolutely adorable, and fits well, and is super-comfortable, but it\'s also falling apart. I bought these shoes in August, and I wear them every day at work. Other Dansko shoes I\'ve bought have been able to last me through the school year, but this hasn\'t even made it three full months. The elastic in the adjustable buckle is pulling apart, and the leather on the inside of the shoe has pulled away from the shoe sides and cracked down the middle. I\'m looking for a replacement pair now, but I\'m so sad! Dansko is always my go-to for high-quality, comfortable, dependable shoes. I\'m hoping this is just a one-off problem and not a sign that I can\'t rely on Dansko the way I used to.

Bummer. I'm a big Dansko fan, but the new manufacturer uses different lasts and they no longer fit my feet. I'm a true 9.5, but often have to buy 10s simply because there aren't many 9.5s to be had. Imagine my surprise when a 41 in this shoe was far too short. Also the top of this shoe cut into my foot. Too bad, because it is a fun shoe.

Really liked the style and comfort, but the shoe stretched out a lot and even two pairs of socks would not keep them on. I bought the 36 (smallest size available) and they felt a whole size bigger after they stretched out. The bigger negative was the elastic strap starting to fall apart after only a month or two of wear. I found this to be very disappointing for shoes that cost this much. Zappos was great about the return and I will definitely buy from them again.

I like these shoes, but they start to hurt after a few hours. Socks will probably help, but it\'s too hot where I live to consider that just yet. If you have a wide foot, forget it! They will be too tight. My foot is narrow and I think they are a little tight.

I have a lot of Dansko shoes. These are so cute. When I first got them I put some shoe horns in them to stretch them. The next day when I put them on they were okay, but they really are for narrow feet. I may end up sending them back.
