Cute & comfortable shoe that looks great with long flowing skirts. I purchased these for work. I have wide feet but these fit perfectly. They are comfortable but my back was a little sore on a day when I walked in them a lot. I like the brown color but the beige/sand color looked really weird on me. I will be keeping the brown but returning the beige ones.

I really wanted these to work but the leather at the top was so hard and almost immediately gave my blisters. The toe box also felt small.

Unfortunately, these just won't work for me. The buckle is a pain to use (I wish it was a velcro closure that just looks like a buckle). The toe box is also very tight and uncomfortable. Took me about 10 seconds to realize this was just not going to work for me. I tried a different style (Dankso Tiffani) and those were so much more comfortable.

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.

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.

Unfortunately these shoes were a little to stiff for me as well as a bit too narrow. I know leather stretches but I don't want to get blisters waiting for that to happen. For these reasons I need to return them.

I love the style and they are very comfortable. I just didn't like the blue color so I'll reorder in brown. I'd just have preferred a darker blue that was uniform in color throughout. This one is just darker around the toe area.

The arch support was so high that my toes didn't touch the tip. All of my weight was balanced on my arch and heel. Didn't work for me!

These dug into the lateral edges of my feet and would've caused a blister or maybe even a cut, so I am returning them. They are cute and seem supportive.

I love Dansko and these are comfortable, but are nearly impossible to buckle. Not worth the hassle for me!

True to size, but the top of the shoe was way too tight on the top of my foot. Cute shoe, sad to send it back.

toe box too small for me- a bit tight across the top - Beatrice has roomier toe box and was much better for me.

I should have listened to other reviews that said these run small. I normally wear a 42 in Dansko, and that's what I purchased. Unfortunately, this 42 feels way too small. On the one hand, it's not Dansko's fault that these don't fit me. On the other hand, I have about three other paid of Danskos, and they are all 42, so they should have greater consistency in sizing. I'm returning these, and unfortunately, Zappos does not carry a 42. Looks like I can purchase a 43 from Dansko directly, so that's what I'll be trying.

This sandal is in not proportional: it is in-between sizes, so it is hard to find a good fit.
