Customer Reviews Dansko Veda

Liked them, but my feet were too wide! Had to return because they were unwearable because they pinched on the sides.

I love that they finally have a cruelty free option, but I am a little disappointed about how quickly they wore out. I had a similar issue with holes at the point where the toe guard ends. I work at a hotel and I am on my feet all day cleaning; they were comfortable, work appropriate, and the non slip is great. I now work in a restaurant and even though the floral pattern is wearing thin on the bottom they still do not skid even when I mop. They are light and they breathe. I never had sweaty feet, and I liked having the laces as I have never found clogs that stay put on my feet. I will have to replace them after less than a year though because of the wear marks.

Too long, not as much arch support as other Dansko's. Felt too big, but they're great looking. Wish they made shoes in half sizes.

I wish I was having the good experience others are writing about with these shoes. They are super cute (purple) but they are so heavy and uncomfortable. I had a hip replacement 3 months ago and these make my hip scream and bring back my limp when wearing these. I wear a lot of Keen from Zappos and never have this problem. I hate that I've wasted the money on these, but hesitate to send them back now that I've worn them outside.

As soon as I put them on, I knew they would have to go back. The canvas is very stiff; I knew that I would have blisters before I had walked my first mile. The shoes rubbed against the back of my ankle, in particular, and there is no extra padding or anything there. Also, the red color on the actual shoe is not as vibrant as the pictures on the website. It is more of a faded red. I really wanted to like these shoes, but they are a no go.

have extremely flat feet and tend to pronate, and Dansko's clogs and mary janes are the only shoes that I can wear without orthotics. So I was very excited when Dansko came out with these cute summery sneakers. They look adorable but unfortunately they do not offer the same degree of arch support as the clogs (that classic Dansko footbed and sole) and I need to wear them with orthotics in order to avoid knee and ankle pain. This changes the fit and comfort considerably. I am disappointed. In all a very cute, comfortable shoe, but if you need serious arch support, this model does not quite deliver.

The shoe was stylish, and it felt good on my feet. But as soon as I started walking I felt discomfort and actual pain across my toes and especially on the outside of my pinky toes and big toes. The pain was caused be the shoe creasing as I walked and pushing the seams into my toes.

These are so medical world friendly! They provide comfort and hours on the feet are not an issue. The only downside that where the rubber at the toes meets the corners the shoe starts to rip, get holes from cracks when the rubber and cloth meet from walking. I wear different shoes and it happened so quickly, they still look new but the sides are cracked/ripped from the stress of the shoe fold while walking. I am super bummed at that flaw.

These are cute, but you cannot wear them with any kind of sock. The backs slip in because the rub on the heel. I don't like wearing no socks, my toes rub. I wish I could return these but I wore them.

I absolutely loved these but where the rubber toe flexed into the canvas the canvas developed holes within 1 month other than that they were awesome!

I am eager to find a Converse lookalike that will accommodate my bunions but this was not it. I found this shoe to be heavy and stiff, and uncomfortable as a result. It did not work for me. Good support is provided, though.

I wanted to like these shoes - they're attractive and different, but the heel just doesn't work. Sneakers shouldn't feel like they're dress shoes. Yes, I knew there was a heel, but somehow I didn't imagine it would be that steep of a heel on a sneaker. In the short time I wore them in the house, they bothered my knees because of the angle of the shoe. They are also incredibly heavy shoes. I also didn't feel very secure in them, like the heel was unstable and I was going to fall in them. Cute shoes, but impractical as a sneaker. If they ever decide to make them flat, I'd try again.

These shoes are cute but much too heavy to be comfortable. I really couldn't walk in them for a very long period. Sorry to return them.

Great fit! Great comfort, great support! But be aware that the canvas will rip on you in a short period of time. I have had my two pair less than 6 months and both are ripping right where the rubber toe cap meets the canvas (on the sides of the shoe). Very disappointed!

I really liked the shoe, but it runs small. I thought with it being a 9.5-10, it would fit perfectly, but sadly it didn't.

Love the style but since they only come in whole sizes (and I wear 1/2 size)they caused some discomfort. Kept the red pair because they were my experimental pair and were a bit soiled. Will still wear them when not walking too far.

These shoes are cute, and when I tried them on they were very comfortable! This was just my initial reaction though, because they are a size too big! I am usually a size 10, but with these I will try a 9.5 next. Unfortunately Zappos is sold out at this time! I ordered from Amazon for the same price. I rated 3 because I didn't get to fully use them. They appear comfortable, they were comfortable walking around my house, and I love the style!

I'm on my feet in restaurants about 50-55 hours per week. I've been wearing Danskos for years and have always been very happy with them. I love the Veda for the fit, support and looks, but they simply did not hold up to heavy wear as well as the professional clog does. Within six weeks, both shoes developed holes in the canvas at the point on the outside of the ball of the foot where the shoe flexes. The tread also seemed to wear down faster than normal. I loved these shoes while they lasted, and I'll probably buy a fun-colored pair to wear on my days off, but when I'm at work I'll be wearing clogs instead.

I have a lot of Dansko shoes. These are a little on the heavy, clunky side. Still they offer great support but I really don't like them as much as some of my other Dansko shoes.

Although this is a cute shoe, the sole was very heavy and uncomfortable. They also made a clunky type sound.

I got these because I work in a restaurant and I'm on my feet for up to 11 hours a day. These came highly recommended by all of my coworkers. Compared to other comfortable shoes, they're pretty attractive. They look just like the picture. They also have a pretty good arch, especially with an added insole. However, I ended up returning them because they are SO heavy. I feel like a duck when I walk in them. They were so heavy, they made the tops of my feet hurt from the weight. These might be nice for tall, heavy people that can support the weight of the shoes but for lighter, more petite people, these shoes are just too heavy.

I always buy the Dansko professional shoes for work. I have heel spurs and those shoes are the only ones that don't hurt me. I tried these based on the reviews and cost. Very cute and comfortable while they're on, but my feet do hurt later in the day.

Shoe wasn't as bright red as shown, it was actually a dull red. Also very heavy!

Not as comfortable as I was hoping. I am a vet tech and got these shoes for my 11+ hour days. It took a while to wear them in, which was fine. But my feet are sore at about hr 8, especially if I wear them two days in a row. I even got Dr. Scholls 16 hour insoles but they are not much help. I was really expecting more. I did go down a size as most reviews suggested. I would have normally picked and 8.5 or 9 but went with the 7-8. I have long narrow feet and it is a good fit.
