Customer Reviews Dansko Valerie Canvas

I love these shoes, they are very comfortable. I have wide feet and these shoes were a little tight across the toes. I had the toe box stretched a little and they are wonderful.

As a true size 10, I had to exchange the size 40 for a 41. These feel great for a cute summer style without open toes and offer tons of support. As a runner, I often have injuries and foot issues, so supportive casual footwear is a must! The white rubber does scuff, but they seem pretty easy to clean up.

These very cute, fun summer shoes have almost the same arch support as the regular clogs -- the sole is more pliable so the arch isn't quite as firm, but it's fine. My only problem is in the heel. In Danskos the heel always slips a bit; it's how the shoes work. This is fine when the back of the shoe is smooth leather, but in these the canvas is murder. I'm still experimenting with things to do to the rough canvas ridge at the back so I don't have to go around in band-aids all summer. Giving these 4 stars instead of the 5 that go to Dansko's standard clogs and mary-janes.

These are adorable and look like they should be comfortable, but I have to return because they are so tight over the toes. I wear a US 9, so ordered the 39 medium width; the length is fine, but way too narrow.

I bought these elsewhere, but wanted to weigh in. Dansko seems to be changing its ways, and I am really disappointed. I bought the Valerie in a print, and it is cute. But it is tight over the top of the foot, and there is really no padding to speak of. I had to add a padded insole, and it is still not sufficient. This is not the Dankso that I have come to expect. Are they doing more cheaply made, less comfortable shoes in an effort to be more fashionable? I have tried on half a dozen of the new styles this spring, and find they are fitting differently. My toes are hitting the end of the toe box, and several of those pairs pressed against the side of my toes. This is very strange given that Dansko generally runs wide, and I have very narrow feet. I am very concerned and I need to find a different go-to shoe brand!

I own other Danskos, but these are way tighter across the top than my other clogs. They are super cute, though, so if you have bony feet, give them a try!

I want to love these shoes so badly! I always wear Danskos and they are always comfortable - except this style! When I put them on they feel great, but after wearing them a bit I get some serious ankle pain that lasts for awhile even when I've changed shoes. I've tried several wearings and always the same. Too bad.

I bought this in a 40 (women's 9.5-10). I normally wear an 8.5 WW, so I sized up to a 40 in the hopes they would be wide enough for my super wide feet. They were not. It's a shame most Danskos don't come in wide sizes. I also did not find them comfortable otherwise. If you are used to stiff, heavy clogs, these might be comfy for you, but to me it felt odd having a very heavy sole attached with a small strap to my foot. Did not feel secure or flexible to me.

This is my first pair of Danksos. As a person with wide feet and a high arch, the width and arch support are perfect, but the canvas top cut into the top of my foot so badly that by the end of the first day wearing them to work, I had to bandage my feet. I am returning them, if allowed.

Love these shoes and have them in three colors of the sneaker style but these hit just the wrong place on my right big toe. Too bad because I think they are so cute

These shoes had a quirky fit; because they only come in whole sizes, neither size I ordered fit perfectly. I chose the larger size so I could have the option of wearing socks if I wanted to, but the smaller size would have been small enough to make them unwearable. Without socks, which was the way I wore them most of the summer, they slopped around on my feet a little. Arch support is good, not great because of the fit. The shoes are cute and actually look good with nearly most of my casual wear, so they were a good choice. I've gotten several compliments on them.

Shoes aren't true to size I usually wear a size 39 but had to get a 40, they also run tight across the top of your foot. Very, very cute shoe though.

I so wanted to like these! They are super cute, and seemed pretty comfortable on. But they weigh a ton! I think walking around too much in these would counteract the comfortable footbed. Back they go.

These shoes are cute and fit well; however, the canvas has torn after way too few wears. I still occasionally wear them but I can no longer wear them to work because they don't look nice. I love the Dansko comfort but have had a few issues. I have 3 pair of their clogs and love them but they all now squeak so badly I annoy everyone in my office when I wear them. Very sad deal because they are still the most comfortable I have. I just can't wear them in public. Sad thing.

These shoes did not work for me. Unfortunately, I did not realize it until I'd worn them outside the house. The back cut into my heel, and I added mole-foam, and still had to wear them with band-aids at the back of my ankles. It may just be my feet. I'm a tough shoe shopper! I was not thrilled with the arch support either, and have given up on them. Alegria's are my new favorite's!

These shoes felt really good everywhere except across my bunion. The lower opening of the shoe cut right into it. I ordered size 38 (I'm a 7) and they felt comfortable and supportive. Just hate that this bunion screws up so many cute shoe purchases.

I ordered these in my usual Dansko size, a 38. They seemed way long when I tried them on, so I compared them to my favorite Dansko clogs. They look about an inch longer! Also, they hit my big toe joint in an uncomfortable way (I do have a bunion).

This shoe though extremely cute is designed too tight across the front of the foot. I can't wear them. I'm so disappointed. This shoe might fit a narrow width better.

Cute. Super cute. But fall apart very quickly. The canvas started splitting away from the rubber by the toe within a month or two. Too bad.

I love Dansko but the top of this shoes digs into my foot so much I can't walk more than a few steps without feeling pain. These are super cute so if your foot is very small, they might work.

This is a cute shoe and is very supportive. I have been advised to wear rigid sole shoes to minimize strain on toe joints. I could tell these would be a good style. Sadly I have to return them because I wear a 5.5 and their smallest size (5.5-6) is too big. I had inches of extra space in the toe. I have had to return 3 of the last 4 Dansko shoes I have bought. I wish they offered a smaller size.

These shoes are so cute. I had two pair of a similar style nearly 20 years ago. I ordered these, but was concerned that the khaki colored trim would rub right above my bunion, and it did. If they were cut a little bit higher, they would have been great. I wore them around the house for half an hour and then gave up. I wear a size 10 and ordered the 41, I also have a wide foot, but that wasn't the problem. I am so sorry they didn't work out. I may try the "Volley" style because I am afraid the "Veda" style may rub on the inside where the stitching overlaps.

Not as cute as in picture. Too high to mimic a converse shoe, so weird with a skirt. I would have returned but gave them a shot for a while.

Wanted to love theses shoes. They are super cute. Bought them for a walking vacation in DC - They gave me the worst blisters of my life. Not sure if they would have be better with socks.
