Customer Reviews Dansko Ryder

Awesome! WICKED cool shoes. This pair are too small, but still look and feel amazing! Returning for next size up so I can fit my custom orthotics. Look great with jeans or with longer winter dresses/skirts. My husband took one look, and despite his aversion to "expensive women's shoes..." Apparently OK for MEN to spend small fortune on their shoes "...because we wear them for years..women buy new shoes every month (day,week!!)..." HA! too bad. These are mineminemine!!

Receivedd these great Danskos the next day (thanks Zappos). I have them in both black and brown and just love the fit and comfort of this shoe. Nothing like the original clog and adds height. Love them.....

I am, generally, a size 6 and these fit well. The fit is more like a clog than a shoe. The heel moves a bit but is not bothersome. I love the look of these shoes with jeans. Since they are a nice, dark brown, they can really be worn with anything!

These shoes are so wearable: skirts, cropped pants, trousers, jeans all look great. They are super comfortable, with or without socks. They give you height without any strain. They are so fashionable and I bought them in both brown and black. I get compliments on both. Buy these shoes, you will be happy you did!

I have always loved high heels, but my feet have never agreed. I have never worn a comfortable high heel in my life. In the past, I have purchased Dansko Rafael, with a low heel, and they were a killer. These shoes were comfy right out of the box, no break in. I was able to wear them all day! What a pleasant surprise. This style of Dansko runs one size big.

Received mine the next day (thanks Zappos again), and love the look and feel of these Danskos. Very different from the numerous clogs I have. Nice height without the strain on your feet.

I love these shoes, just got them in black. Found them to be much more comfortable than the "dress" shoe footbed Dansko uses on the Beth, Brianna, etc - those always seem to hurt the ball of my foot. I also have shoes in the Professional and Solstice style footbeds from Dankso (and love them too). While those are comfortable, these are so much cuter and stylish. One of the most feminine looking Dankso's, without losing the benefit of a good arch support and footbed. I wear jeans most of the time, and these look great with them. I notice some people have felt they were smaller and other larger than normal. I felt these were true to size for a Dansko. I got the same size I usually get, and haven't had any issues. As with almost any other Dansko shoe, the back is intended to "slip" when you walk, to allow correct foot movement. It's a little strange at first, but I've gotten used to it, and my feet love them! However, you do need to make sure you're getting a proper fit overall, or your foot will tend to slide a lot in the footbed, and negate any benefit you might otherwise get.

Very cute, very comfy but they run about a half size too small so I have to return for a larger size.

I wear a 5 1/2 so I have some space between my heel and the back of the shoe. However, it feels fine. I can wear them all day at work without my feet hurting. I've gotten a lot of compliments on this shoe and want to know where I got them. I got the open heel one also and it feels great, too. I just don't wear a 3" heel too often and it takes a while to get used to.

Love this shoe! Comfortable and chunky stylish. Usually wear a size 8W to 8.5M. The size39 (7.5-8M) was a perfect fit. The back slips a bit but I have worn these all day without discomfort or any problems. Dansko shoes are well made and this is more stylish than most of their shoes. I get compliments on them all the time! I have the black and am thinking about ordering the brown. Love Zappos!

The Ryder is the perfect bad girl shoe for the high heel impaired! You will look hot in this shoe while still experiencing the classic comfort of the Dansko brand. Sizing is perfect. I ordered a 38 and I wear a 7.5 shoe. Arch hit perfectly. Looks incredible with pants and skirts.

Every time I wear these I get compliments and people are dying to know where I got them, who they're by, etc. People are absolutely shocked to learn they are Dansko. Like any other Dansko they make your feet feel great. I've worn these on all day shopping sprees, sightseeing trips and to "standing room only" events with out a problem. They do have the the 1st wear break in. If you've worn Dansko before, you're likely familiar with the arch ache the 1st time you wear them. These do that too, but only happens on the 1st wear. Get them, you'll love them!

These shoes are so cool! I've been wearing Dansko clogs for years on the weekends, and due to recent knee issues, I now have to wear them to work as well, so I wanted to upgrade the style points a bit. These totally fit the bill! They're very comfortable too. They do slip off the heels a bit, but Danskos are made to do that.

I love these! They are my first pair of Danskos and I could not be happier. I was told some time ago by my podiatrist that I need shoes with more arch support, and I have been eyeing Danskos for some time, but couldn't find a pair that I thought suited my style (I'm 29 yrs old, have lived in San Fran, London, etc., and usually dress between classic and chic). I do have wide feet (which is a bummer since I love style and shoes). I do love these though for the comfort and the style. The heel is a bit clunkier than I would normally wear, but I am still very pleased with these. I usually wear a size 8 or 38 - ordered this size and it fit well (a little slippage in the heel, but that is normal for my triangular shaped feet).

These shoes are great. Nice looking, comfortable, perfection. My only complaint is that they seem to run a little large, especially if you won\'t be wearing socks with them.

I am a size 8. I ordered a 39. There was room in the toe. I think they fit comfortably with some room. These are my favorite comfort shoes. I wear them for work and even on the weekends with some jeans when I do not feel like wearing heels. I am almost giving up heels with these shoes. I will definitely shop for another similar pair. You will not regret these. You get lots of compliments on how cute and different these clogs are.

I walked around in this shoe for a couple days feeling a bit unsure that I could go 8 hours standing in them...I am a teacher. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are. The rocker bottom keeps the pressure off the ball of my foot. I love these with pants and jeans! I have very slender legs so I will probably never wear these with skirts, but I love them just the same!

These shoes are cute and I have gotten several compliments on them. There are a couple of cons; they make a lot of noise when you walk (the wooden sole makes a clunking sound) and after a couple of hours straight wearing them my feet hurt. I wear them to work and it is no problem because I am not standing the whole time. Looks wise I really like them.

I wear a size 40 normally and have wide feet. I bought a 39, and wore them today for over 8 hours for a work shift and I think they are excellent. I wore cushioned socks and tightened the side snap because they were loose on my heel. I really love these and think they are beautiful and practical. They do run big, so get a smaller size than you normally would. They aren't as comfortable as a pair of slippers, but I think once I break them in a bit more, they will be pretty close.

This shoe ran about a half size large for me and kept sliding off of the heel. I was going to try a size smaller to see if it helped but they were out of a smaller size.

I am a 8 1/2 and it said to order a 39 so I did. Way too big for me. Had to return. I did think the shoe was cute in person, but I was a little dissapointed at the leather. I know that all real leather will have some flaws, but I noticed a several places where the leather was pinched or bubbled up. The shoe was comfortable, but it was hard to really tell when it's far too big. I will be ordering another Dansko shoe, but I think I will try the clogs instead in a patent leather instead.

First, I rate these shoes 5 stars for style because, Wow, they are great with jeans, skirts, anything, and they are 'in' without being overtly trendy. I love Dansko clogs, and this is not a Dansko clog. The sole is rigid and clunky. The fit is very different, and when I first got them, I was quite discouraged because my heels were slipping terribly. I bought my usual Dansko size - 41 - and these were true to size, but I'm narrow through the foot, and definitely in the heel. It wasn't working to have the usual Dansko clog loose fit. I bought both a heel pad and a pad for the ball of the foot, and now they fit great and are comfortable all day. I guess I just liked them so much, I wanted to make it work. Try them, and luckily with Zappos free returns, you can regretfully, sadly send them back if they just don't work for you.

I have been eyeing these for months, and finally purchased them, but now they're going back...so sad! They felt comfortable at first, but after a few hours of light indoor wear my feet were actually sore! They they felt like wearing heels! Not horrible heels, but not that Ahhh...comfort feeling I expected from Danskos. Also the heel strap rubbed the back of my foot in an uncomfortable way. These are super cute, though. Would be great with skinny or boot-cut jeans, or tights + skirt combo. I just did not think they would become a go-to shoe because the comfort wasn't there. Felt true to length and a bit narrow (and I do have narrow feet). I am going to try the Frye Clara studded clog that has a similar style, but less height.

Great looking shoe! I do like it even if it is not the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn...especially for Dansko, which has the reputation for the being the ultimate in comfort. Nevertheless, I am not sorry I got the shoes and I will wear them proudly...just not shopping!
