Ordered these in the blue color and really liked them but had to return. I have a very high instep/high arch and I am usually a 38 in Dansko but went for the 39 and they fit well with one exception, the buckle was just a teeny bit tight and I wished there was another hole. I also felt like leather on the outside edge of the toe box may have rubbed the top of my foot, so had to send back.

Love love love these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and I was able to walk a lot and pretty quickly in these. I wish all shoes felt this comfy and looked good to boot.

Ordered this shoe in several sizes and colors before finding that denim in size 39 feels great. The leather is softer and footbed fits my arch best. Very comfortable and cute.

Several take aways: 1) everyone is right- you should probably size up. My feet are on the narrow side, but I still wear medium width- the length was right in the larger size, but the shoe was too wide. In my normal size, the leather cur into the side of my food when walking. 2) the colors are really nice in person. 3) the bottom is not real wood, so I think they would have been very comfortable for standing and walking all day if I didn't have the fit issue. Sorry I couldn't make them work!

I wanted to love these shoes, but front sides were cutting into the front of my feet. The width was wide enough on the sole, but the leather was too hard against my skin. A softer leather might have been better.

I’ve been wearing dansko’s for years and these were particularly narrow and not as comfortable as the other styles I’ve worn.

I needed to replace an old pair of red mary janes that bit the dust. These looked to be the right style and color, but I have had mixed success with Dansko. I usually take an 8 medium, and I ordered a 39. They were slightly big, which was mitigated by the strap. So far so good, but upon wearing the shoes I found them extremely uncomfortable. The material is very stiff and rubbed when walking around. I tried them with thin socks, which was an improvement in comfort but detracted from the style. Also, the buckles are really stiff, fussy and hard to fasten. I wanted to like and keep them but due to the many issues, I am returning them.

These shoes are cute! The fit was a bit off. I ordered a 38 and they fit well, but the front opening was slightly too narrow and pinched the outside of my foot. I used a shoe horn and stretched them out slightly and then they fit perfectly. Going up a size would’ve made them too big. Glad they fit after I stretched them.

I had been looking at these shoes for some time and finally decided to buy them. I liked both the sand dollar color and the red so I bought both. They fit really well. I have bunions and Dansko is the only shoes I can wear without discomfort. I have been wearing Dansko clogs exclusively for at least twenty years. I softened the leather with Bag Balm which is pure lanolin. It made the shoes softer and they broke in very quickly. And it added a luster and deepened the color to a perfect hue. I have gotten lots of compliments. I love them.

These black Dansko Sam, fit will on my foot, the straps do not cut into the ankle bone and they feel secure on my foot. Usually this brand gets loose after awhile and then the toe of the shoe begins to get "floppy" not good for hallux rigidus. And at these prices, they could last a few years hopefully.

This is my second pair of Dansko Clogs. The other pair I own is very similar but the heel is higher. The real test is that I wore them to work. No pain whatsoever, the clogs are keepers.

I love these shoes! I have the same style in a more neutral color, from about 10 years ago, and love those too. Looking forward to wearing the red ones this summer and fall.

Right foot toes touching the top of shoe. Normally doesn’t this type of shoe. This is the size I wear, normally. Also, the left shoe strapped looked worn. The other looked bran new.

I’m new to clogs so I ordered this and the Tiffani, both in my usual size. These were short, my toes were right up against the end. The style is also just a little more clunky than the Tiffani, which is cut just a bit closer to the toes. Both have awesome arch support, much better than most shoes, which is what I was hoping for with my difficult feet. Returning these and keeping the Tiffanis which fit perfectly.

I need black closed toed shoes for work and this is the closest design to the Dansko maryjane style shoes I have been wearing for years. These are cute, and comfortable sole, good support. But they are too short- I normally wear 42 in Dansko, and after reading reviews about sizing up, I bought the 43 and they were still too short. My large toe was touching the front of the shoe. I couldn't be more disappointed. They went back the next day.

These are very nice shoes that would probably work well for someone as long as you don't have high arches. I have very high arches and the straps were too tight on the first hole. They needed about .25 inches more strap to be comfortable for me. I was worried that it would stretch out so had to return them but really liked the look of the sandals.

This is a super cute shoe with excellent arch support! I usually can't go long without my orthotic, which is really difficult in the warmer months. Although I can't wear my orthotic in these Danskos, the arch support is excellent and feels great on my feet! They look great with pants, shorts or dresses.

Perfect fit. Same size as my other Dansko clogs, heels and athletic shoes. I have this style in brown, but have wanted the red and am very happy! It's a pretty bright red- different than the Bria cinnabar which is a deeper raspberry. Light and comfortable right out the box!

These fit true to size. They are almost as comfortable as the Brenna style. They are dressier and work barefoot. The strap is a bit hard to get on, but I prefer not to unbuckle them, That would make it easy. The hard sole is what I seek and these provide the support needed for my tender metatarsal joint. The top comes up high enough to not cut into that joint.
