Customer Reviews Dansko Ryder

I love these shoes but they seem to run a bit big. I've had trouble with them slipping up in the back - even after I've tightened the strap and added heel slips in the back.

I have had these shoes for a couple of weeks; they are so cute. Not as comfortable as the Professional, but more than other shoes like this. They are cute with pants, dresses or jeans. Would not walk all day in them.

As a former heel junkie (who has been forced to quit due to bad feet), these are so refreshing in the world of comfort shoes. The arch support is terrific and keeps your foot from sliding down to squish your toes and putting all of the strain on the ball of your foot. Also the front is wide enough for my wider than normal feet; and the heel slippage is supposed to be intentional, so doesn't affect the fit (where it's usually pertinent to a good fit in other makes). Understandably, not all shoes fit all feet. Mine are sort of duck-like: wide in the front with a narrower heel. I need arch support due to a neuroma and plantar fasciitis -- these deliver well (for a heel). They're not going to be as comfortable as a cushioned clog, but they still feel better than my Ugg clogs (which kill me after a couple of hours). One thing: a rivet came off after one day of wearing; I called Zappos and got the usual incredible service. They're sending me another pair, no charge (hooray and wow!). I do hope this doesn't happen again, or I'll be stuck with a shoe without a rivet. Didn't see that this was a problem on other reviews, so maybe mine was a fluke.

I love how these shoes look! The fact that they have a closed-back were an added draw for me. However, they are too big and I had to return them. Also, because they have a wooden heel and frame, they are stiff when walking on hard surfaces.

Less clunky-looking than the photo and very comfy! Although the sole is hard like a clog. And there are snaps on the side for adjustment. Yay for Dansko for making a bad-ass looking shoe!

I love the way this shoe looks! However, I found it to be very large for its size. It also made a rather noisy clomping sound when I walked in it.

Love the comfort of Dansko but found this shoe sized small and narrow. Had to return. Good construction, would probably last forever.

These are a bit stiff around the top and I hope that they will soften up. I love the look and color so I am keeping them.

I really like the look of the shoe, cute with jeans. I have worn Danskos in the past and found them comfy, but these are more cute than comfortable. They are tolerable, but can't say they are comfortable.

I really like the looks of this shoe but the size is off. I ordered my usual size but my toes hit the front of the shoe yet my heels flop around in the back.

I am so sad about these shoes and they are very cool looking, and the footbed is a great shape (totally comfortable), but the toe-box is just too too small (mostly vertically) so I have to return these. :(

I have several pairs of Danskos and these are super cute! The left shoe hurt my foot on the bunion below my big toe. Also, not as comfortable as other Danskos.

I love the look of this shoe; however, the toe box is pretty narrow for a Dansko. If you have a narrow foot these may work for you. Unfortunately, they were too uncomfortable for me.

These shoes are not the typical Danskos. The footbed is not supportive and they hurt your feet. They are however, more comfortable than other shoes of the same style.

Fit like my other Danskos - true to Dansko size and width. I really didn't like the little cutout parts back by the heel. Liked the studs & as always felt very stable & easy to walk in. Great arch support. I simply didn't care for the design in real life.

Such great stylish shoes...and they look better in person! Only problem is they don't fit the way traditional Danskos fit. I have many pairs as I wear them for work and play. The 39 is too tight and the 40 is too big. There is a little leeway with the snaps, but couldn't bear them for more then an hour or so. I may as well wear full on heels. Bought them in black and am stuck with those as I've worn them outside but these are going back.

I wanted to love these shoes... They look great! But for some reason they really pinched my toes. It's not even like they were a size too small because there was plenty of room, and my foot could move around. Sadly just not as comfortable as other Danskos I have - so I had to return.

This clog fit much larger than other Dansko clogs. I also found the arch support to be a bit too much. It was awkward to walk in them. But I did find them to be cute but didn't work for me.

If you have a wide foot, this shoe is not for you. Regular Dansko clogs (i.e., professional) fit perfectly for me. These were way too narrow. Love them, but can't even get my feet in them! Definitely order up if you have a wide foot.

I loved the look of this shoe that I immediately bought both the black and brown. Being and avid Dansko fan I was excited to have a trendier style. Unfortunately they were very uncomfortable on my feet. The shoes felt odd when walking in them and they slipped on my heels. I wanted to love them, but I sent them back. I am hoping that the open back clog in this style will work better for me.

Great looking shoe/bootie but that's about it. Way too hard of sole and too stiff. And the arch support is too great. It pressed into my foot and I have a regular arch. Maybe it's just me getting old and wanting some comfort in a shoe.

Oh my goodness, these shoes are so cute yet so uncomfortable! They feel like wooden shoes. I've tried saddle soap, inside and out, stuffing them w/ paper, etc. to no avail. They feel like your foot is in a vice grip and the top of your foot rubs against the hard interior, quite painful. And so sad, they're such a great, versatile shoe.

These shoes are not made in Denmark. I don't know if that is why they are not sized the same as my original Dansko clogs. They are painful in the size I wear in other Dansko. Too small in the forefoot.
