Customer Reviews Dansko Vail Rain Boots

Most reviews are stating how difficult to get foot in boot but my feet went in very easily and come out too easily so I had to return 'em. They slip out and swim around these wide boots.

Really cute and comfy once on...but actually getting them on was incredibly difficult. Not enough give in the boot and the finger tab on the back not enough to hold onto. Unfortunately will be returning. Disappointed that the clogs are no longer available in my size.

I wanted to love these as I do my other Dansko shoes, but sadly I had to return these. I ordered my regular size in Dansko, but couldn't even get the boot on my foot as others have said. No give in the shaft at all. Very difficult to get on. I returned these and got the shoe version instead. Those are comfortable and I can keep them on all day instead of changing shoes at work.

Sadly, this boot didn't fit well at all. Too tight and too uncomfortable in odd places. I'm afraid I'm going to have to return it.

This boot is awful. Too short to be a rain boot. and plastic is very stiff which makes for a very hard time in putting it on.

Too stiff and difficult to get on, the pull loop is way too small. I couldn't even get my finger in it. I purchased this same style in leather and the elastic stretches better, the loops are bigger and I am able to easily take the boot on and off. Disappointed that I could not keep the rain boot, It is really cute.

I wanted to like these boots so much. I love the pattern, and I needed a pair of rain boots. Unfortunately, these were too stiff for me. They were too short for my pants to stay in, so they didn't protect me from the rain either. I had to send them back. I did, however, buy the clogs in this pattern. Those worked out much better for me. I love Danskos!

Ordered both the size 40 & 41. Could not get my foot into either one! Sending back. No side zipper on these to help. Cannot really truthfully say they are or are not comfy as I never had my foot inside this shoe.

I'm giving up on rain boots! Who'd think they would be so hard to find/afford? These run too short and the top of the boot is very uncomfortable around my leg with no sock on. Rain boots should be wide in the calf, comfortable on bare feet, affordable, since I only want to wear for a little while, not all day. Guess I'll just get wet feet & carry 2 pairs of shoes!

Beautiful boots,but run slightly small. I wear Dansko clogs in size 37 usually but need a 38 in these boots. I did get the size 38 and will keep them but the pattern is slightly different and not as cute. Umm, cute vs comfort...must be growing up, comfort won out.

I ordered this boot primarily for wearing on a Sept. vacation in Iceland and have not yet had it on for long periods of time. I ordered the size I wear in other Dansko clogs and sandals which was an exact fit without heavy socks. Because I anticipate wearing these boots in inclement weather and thus with heavy socks, I decided to order the next size up which is very slightly large so I am still trying to decide which size to keep. Also to complicate this process the smaller size is actually a slightly different color which I like better. Decisions, decisions. Either way it is a cute boot and meets my needs and with Zappos I can take my time and decide, after trying both light weight and heavy weight socks, which pair I will keep. I am trusting since the feel and arch is much like other Danskos I will be happy with either one. The heel is relatively flat which makes me feel very secure and even with the larger size my foot is NOT sliding around. Though the fit feels like clogs, there is sturdy support and the boot feels stable enough for any weather. If one is looking for a cute boot to wear in rain, sleet or light wet snow (like we have in Maryland) then this boot should fill the bill.

These boots are perfect. They look good, and keep my feet warm and dry. I bought them to wear while traveling in England, but have worn them at home several times already.

I really liked these boots. They are comfortable and fun. I usually have problem with support but not with these boots.

These boots are fabulous for rainy Seattle weather! They are cute and happy (I have the frog ones) and fit me well. I'm in and out of the car all day and if I happen to park next to a puddle..who cares? They were a bit stiff in the ankle area at first but have softened right up. Very happy!

So sorry I have to return such cute boots. Unfortunately, my toes are right at the tip of the shoe even though if ordered the next size up.

Quality boots. Great fit. A little tough to get on -- wish the little loop on top in the back were a little bit larger, so my finger could fit through. They'll last a lifetime! I would totally purchase Dansko again!

Very cute, but within days I had a severe attack of plantar fasciitis, which I have not had in many years. Also, after two weeks the vinyl coating started to crack and peel off. I am not too happy with this, and may return them. But they are cute and very waterproof.

I love these shoes. They look great. I am size 8.5 with a wider foot and ordered the 8.5-9 size and they fit perfectly. They do need some working into but I feel like that is common with most shoes and it doesn't bother me at all while walking I am just more aware of wearing them. It's hard to fine a nice comfortable rain boot in the first place.

Great boots. Fit as sized. Love the solid sole as it supports my tender feet. Bought them for gardening and they are the perfect shaft height for cutting grass or edging. Very comfortable foot bed. Usually have to put arch support in my boots if I am wearing a long time. Not with these.

These are much more comfy to walk in than wellies. They are cute but be aware that they are true patchwork design, meaning that the two boots don't match in pattern. Looks odd to me. Also color can vary. Mine are mostly lime green and brown, which I don't wear, instead of blue and red like the picture. Not sure they will work for me.

I bought these for slushy snow days in Denver - we don't get too much rain here. My heel tends to slip up and down when I walk. It doesn't cause a problem, it just feels loose. Style and quality are both great. I wear a 6.5 B (medium width) shoe size and ordered the 37 (my usual Dansko size in this boot). Definitely room for thick socks. Great arch support. If you like the support in most Danskos you will like the support in these. No problems with rubbing on the ankles as others have mentioned. I definitely like the look, which is a plus.

One of the most supportive rain boots. Only issue is I tried a 38 -- that's the perfect fit for all my other Danskos -- and my foot was swimming in it. Darn! My search continues.
