Dansko are the only shoes I wear due to their supreme foot support. They are the only shoes I can wear all day without my feet hurting. These, however, are being returned. The top leather dig into the bones at the base of my toes and I was unable to walk in them for more than a few minutes. They are cute, but not dug too much to be wearable.

I, unfortunately had to send these back. They look much cuter once they are on and they definitely provide more space in the toe area. However, the shoe is so hard and inflexible that I felt like the arch support was driving itself into my arches. It sounds odd but my feet felt so tired after having them on for 15-20 minutes inside my house. That is the only reason I sent them back. I didn't have any rubbing in weird areas, the strap was comfortable, my toes had plenty of room but they were just too stiff to walk on comfortably, for me.

These would have been perfect for me if they came in a wide width!!! Unfortunately the toe box was just too tight and the edge of the toe box would have cut into the top of my foot if I had attempted to break them in.

Had purchased these about five years ago. I wore them out! Ordered a new pair, put them on and wore them to work that day for a 12 hour shift. Super comfortable!

At age 53 and with bunions, Danskos are almost the only closed toe shoes I wear. And usually it’s clogs. Problem like others have said it when I want to dress up a little. I’ve tried other Dansko Mary Janes with a slightly higher heel that ended up killing my feet, so I decided to give these a shot. All my other Danskos are 39, but this one was too narrow for me, and it looked like the edge of the top opening of the shoe would likely cut into my foot if I walked or stood in them any length of time. Thankfully, Zappos has an amazing exchange policy, and they had the new pair in size 40 at my address the next day!! And they are much better! I haven’t walked any length of time in them yet— just down the long hall in our home. Honestly, my foot still looks a little wide in the shoe. But it doesn’t feel like it’s cutting in, so I’m hoping it will still work.

I typically wear a 7.5 or an 8. I originally ordered that size but found they were too snug. I reordered an 8.5/9 and love the fit! Definitely thinking about ordering these in another color!

These are very cute shoes, however the color Sand Dollar is NOT what's shown on the picture. The color is much darker and kind of.....blah.

Haven’t worn them out side yet. I am always a 37 in dansko. Tried them on with socks and they fit. Color is really khaki, sort of a greenish tint, like grandma shoes. The heel is just right for jeans or skirts. I am a grandma so I guess i’ll Keep them. Good to have when you don’t want your shoes to stand out.

Love these. Second pair. Wear them non-stop. Definitely cute with skirts or rolled jeans. Get lots of compliments. Wore them all summer and into the autumn with tights. Thanks Dansko.

I have these in dark brown and really like them. Was happy to find them again in the very light color. However, the light pair arrived damaged. Looks like somebody took something and rubbed the tops and very visible light streaks showed. No way these should have been shipped to a customer. Back they'd went. Afraid to reorder. If you get an undamaged pair, you'll like them.

I love this shoe, and have wanted a color other than black, brown, or red, so the taupe color is perfect. However, the 38 (my normal, perfect Dansko size) is too small. I am trying a 39 in the same thing, which seems perhaps too big, though. The strap over the instep seems to be in a poor place for my foot, which may be part of the problem -- it's a bit too high/close to my ankle, I think.

I have mixed feelings about these. They are very cute, especially with dresses! However, they started out being comfy, but then as time went on they began to squish my feet more and more, making them unbearable to wear. Also, the other bothersome thing is these are basically made to wear either barefoot or with some kind of nylon. But the insole is cloth, and got gross quickly, and not much I can do to clean it or get the smell out. Disappointing overall, likely will not be able to wear these again.

Nice combo of pretty and practical . Fits my wide feet and bunyons. These shoes seem a little wider than dansko clogs. Well made.

I can stand on my feet in these all day at work. This is my third pair. I wore them on vacation in Paris where we walked an average of five miles a day- lots of cobblestones :)

I wanted to love these but they were way too wide for my feet. I normally take a medium with no problem and do not have a high arch. The length was good, but I ordered 1/2 a size larger than usual. The footbed felt great and the leather was nice. But they were so wide that my feet slid around in them--I think they would have been great if a narrow width were available. Wider feet may love these!

I get a lot of compliments on these shoes. They are super comfortable! The strap is a little tight and I have it on the last hole but I’m hoping it will stretch a little. I love these shoes, except they make my feet sweat and stink. If they didn’t do that, I would order ever color of this shoe. Smelly shoes and feet is disappointing because they are really comfortable and cute.

Buy these shoes. Your feet will thank you, your legs and your back will thank you. They are totally supportive and comfortable. I am a teacher (and former athlete) who stands all day. I can't live without Dansko shoes. This is my second pair in sand dollar. The color also creates the illusion of longer legs (even though I'm 5'3 and three-quarters), goes with everything and is lovely. Thanks Zappos and Dansko.

I love these shoes. Very comfy for casual wear. I have wide feet so they fit me well. Great quality. I’ve had them for almost a year and they still look good with a little leather conditioner now and then.

These shoes fit true to size. I have problems with my feet but these shoes are awesome! I can wear them all day with no problem. I wear them in summer and winter. They are so good that I have them in 3 different colors. I like the fact that they give me some extra height. They look great with my ankle length pants as well as regular length. My work requires a closed toe and a heal strap so these are perfect. I’ve received many compliments on them.

I wear an 11 N this 42 was too wide but yet my toe touched the end. The 41 was too short also. Seems the length doesn't match the width.

I love these shoes! They are comfortable and I like the style. I have worn Dansko shoes for a long time and find them quite comfortable. I did order up a size as some reviews recommended. They are a little wide, but I have a narrow foot. Overall a good fit. I bought the sand dollar color and plan to buy this style in other colors.
