Hate it when your favorite sandal is restyled. The toe box is much narrower. No longer fits comfortably. 37 is too small and 38 too big.

This shoe does not have the signature Dansko supportive footbed. Do not order!

I continue to be loyal to Dansko in spite of this shoe! The Dani, size 37, is not true to fit. It is not comparable to Dansko's other shoes, sized 37, to which I compared it. LIterally compared to size 37 Dansko shoes in my closet. It is narrow. It is long. I hope this is an aberration, not a core change to the Dansko line.

I know it will never happen, but I will ask Dansko: please bring back the Lolita! It was the best sandal. This one is a pale imitation. It has gone from cool and comfortable to matronly and uncomfortable. It is very sad, but they are going back.

I am so disappointed. The straps across the top are too tight for me to fit my foot in. What happened to Sissy? I choose Dansko for the ultra comfortable support, but these shoes were so tight I could barely squeeze my foot in.

Awesome, comfortable sandals for my 1st Dansko purchase! I wear 9M and they're true to size with a heel that's somewhat lower. I have a bunion on the right side of my left foot and they're still comfortable! Wear them with jeans or a going out outfit. I may be hooked on Dansko.

I love this shoe. First I bought a black leather pair, at my podiatrist's suggestion. I have worn them all the time, and since then have bought four other pair of different colors, including a second pair of the black leather. They just feel great on my feet, and I even wear them when I am on the treadmill. I took almost all my other sandals and donated them. I am in my late 60s with a bad back and bad propriaception (balance) and I refuse to wear any shoe that is not, above all, comfortable.

I wasn't sure if I needed a 41 or a 42 so I ordered both. The 42 is too large and I am returning this pair. These are a terrific shoe, instant comfort and support.

These are wear-out-of-the-box sandals. Like all Dansko products, they are extremely comfortable, and go well with both jeans and skirts. Various widths can be accommodated by the cross-foot straps.

I was looking for a cute sandal that actually provided some support. I can be on my feet all day, walking on cobblestone streets and still feel good. You can never go wrong with Dansko.

Very comfortable sandal even though the straps on top are loose. Not enough holes are supplied in the strap behind the ankle but I have been wearing them and enjoying the loose fit! Very attractive design and color too.

I love these shoes! I have plantar fascitis and I stand all day at my job. I needed a dressy sandal to wear with dresses and dress pants. I read mixed reviews on them but took a chance and trusted the easy return policy. First of all, they arrived at my door within 48 hours. Unfortunately they were a little too small and narrow. I sent them back and ordered a larger size. Those arrived in less than 24 hours! Wow, and they fit perfectly. Plus the pair I returned made it back to the wharehouse and my account was credited in less than 3 days. With such an easy return policy, there's no reason not to give it a try. I wear them everyday to work and also wore them to my nieces wedding and danced all night. I would love to have them in a brown leather also.

These shoes were very comfortable. I have a disability and usually only wear flats and wanted a small heel. These were recommended and I am so glad they were. I wore them for an important event with a casual dress and they were so comfortable and pretty. I love the flexibility of the sole and how light they are. Pretty black patent, too.

These are my go-to sandals -- helped me through recovery from toe surgery, and continue to get me through long days at work, dressy and casual events.

These are the most comfortable versatile shoes! They are my walk-all-day travel shoes, their color blends with half my wardrobe, they're good for casual evenings as well. I'm planning to buy them in black as well. I bought them one European size larger for the width and it worked well.

I love these sandals. They are so comfortable, and the patent leather means you can dress them up or down. I'm thinking of buying another pair!

These are such sturdy shoes! Comfortable, supportive, cute and boy did I put that to the test...right out of the box, they survived an evening at Epcot, hitting a few rides, dinner & then the fireworks all in the pouring rain and tho they turned my feet black, they looked perfectly new the next day after drying out. You'd never guess where they had been the night before?!

I've never had a pair of Danskos before, I have tried on the other styles that are higher. I have plantar fasciitis too, while some reviewers have complained about lack of arch support, I find them extremely comfortable. They are essentially a flat style sandal (versus having more of a heel which is uncomfortable for me). I'm thinking about getting another pair in a different color. I have silver metallic. Really pretty.

I had a pair of the previous version of these sandals that I bought 12 years ago and wore constantly. After 12 years of very hard wear the elastic on the strap finally broke. I just replaced them with these and I like them even better. They fit me slightly better and look slimmer on my feet. These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned and I am always getting compliments on them. I can wear them all day without getting tired.

This shoe has a very nice look for casual or somewhat dressy events. The sole cradles the foot immediately. The only minor negative is that the leather straps are not soft and that effects the feel of the width. This improved after I wore the shoes for a while.

I have this shoe in four other colors and love them, but I thought I wanted a change and tried the Jenelle and Jovi. I returned both of them, and kept the Dani - I think the Dani has more support, more padding on the bottom, a more secure fastener (not Velcro as the other two pair have), and is a bit more dressy without the cork like bottom part.

These are my first pair of Dansko that fits me. Have been struggling with flat arch for the past few months and unable to wear any of the sandals I wore last summer. Was looking for a comfy formal looking sandals with decent arch support and ordered these. These are really light weight, moderate arch support and looks great with all my business casual. I love these. Thank you Zappos.
