Customer Reviews Dansko Dani

I usually love Dansko shoes but not this one. It didn't look good on my foot and it seemed to run small. I returned them.

I bought the same style Dansko maybe 2 years ago, but it went by a different name and the footbed was totally different and had much better support. I normally wear orthotics, but those older Danskos were very comfortable. These just feel wrong underfoot, not worth the price, and I'm sending them back.

These shoes run very short. I normally wear a 10.5-11 or a 42 but the 42 in this style was much too short on me. I've never tried on Dansko shoes before but if they all run this short I will never be able to wear them.

These were my sandals for the 2013 season. I wore them often, but not any more than I did previous Dansko sandals. The elastic on the back strap failed in less than a year. I will not be buying from Dansko again.

Very comfortable but after wearing a few times the soles started to squeak. Tried a second pair and the same problem with squeaking.

Darn! Just when I think I have found shoes that I can wear forever - they change them. I have had two pairs of Professional clogs and two pairs of Dani sandals. I loved the clunkier old Dani. They provide great arch support. I could walk forever in them. This new model looks nice but they are so not the old comfortable Danis! You should call them something else for those who do like them and also make the old Danis available for those who love them. Please!

I have worn Lolitas for years and years, and love them, so the reviews here really helped me! I agree, why mess with a really good thing? I was going to order several pairs of Danid thinking they were Lolitad, but after reading reviews I am not going to I hope Zappos can prevail upon Dansko to return to Lolita style, fit, comfort and support. I am another over 60 buyer who requires arch support, durability, and all day long walking comfort.

I read the reviews, the ones that said that this shoe was a poor replacement for my beloved Lolitas, that they were much more narrower and generally felt cheaper. But why I chose to ignore all of you fine ladies and order the shoe anyway, is beyond me. I couldn't even get my foot slid in to the shoe -- that's how narrow they are. They are on their way back. Maybe I'll look on eBay for some NIB Lolitas that someone had tucked away in their closet collecting dust. So frustrating. In the immortal words and tone of Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler -- "Really, Dansko? Really?!"

Medium width of sole is perfect, but the straps are so loose on the foot and cannot be tightened for a secure fit. Also, the toe area is too slanted and therefore too pointy for my more square shaped toes.

I loved the Lolita, Dani's stylistic forebear, so was considering ordering the Dani. Then I saw that its footbed is lined with fabric, not suede. A couple of years ago I ordered two pairs of fabric-lined Dansko sandals, and after a month or two of DC's hot summer they smelled so bad I had to stop wearing them. Have not had this problem with my leather-lined Danskos, and now they're the only kind I'll buy. At Dansko prices, sandals have to last longer than half a season!

Not happy with the fit and the comfort of the this sandal, does not feel like is as much support. Won't be buying them again. I have worn Dansko for 15 years and this will be my last pair.

I searched hi and low for the ones Dansko used to make I did buy this Dani style only to regret it, because I stumbled upon A style called Golden Eagle made by Dromedaris, the company that made it for Dansko (so I'm told)! It's the very original sandal that fits exactly like I wanted it to.

I loved Dansko Lolita. They were fabulous, and I lived in them, had several pairs. But the Dani is not the Lolita. It's much more flimsy, doesn't have the famous Dansko support, leaves my feet aching; is apparently made by a different vendor. I returned them. I've found similar in another brand.

I had to return these because they were too narrow and one of the straps rubbed my small toe. I sure miss the wider, more supportive Dansko sandals!

I recently purchased 2 pair of Dansko shoes, both which feel apart within 6 months of wearing them! Although Dankso was kind enough to replace one pair and repair the other, I was extremely disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship that I had paid a considerable amount of money for.

I agree with the last reviewer. The shoe has no arch support. It's a shame...I can't wear it at all. I wish I had returned it to Zappos when I first got it.

Dansko has really gone downhill! These shoes had no arch support and the soles are too squishy, which might be comfortable to some people, but my feet get fatigued very quickly if there's no support in the midfoot. The style also looked dowdy to me.

Very pretty, wish they would work for me. Not enough room over my high arches and instep with these straps, they really need a little elastic on at least one side of the crossover straps. Also back strap is way too short and would need more holes. Slightly narrower than other Danskos I have, which usually fit me like a glove except for some clogs that don't accommodate my very high arches and instep. Also don't seem to be Danskos former quality. Overall very disappointing and will have to go back.

My 13-year-old fashionista's reaction when I tried them on: "Well, you won't have to worry about people thinking you're 35 anymore." (I'm 47.) They were reasonably comfortable, though, as other reviewers have said, lacking the usual Dansko's arch support. But they were just too orthopedic-looking for me. Sent them back.

The design has changed from the original. The toe area is narrower, and my pinkie toenail would catch on the front strap. I am sad that they changed what was a perfect shoe!!

I am so disappointed! I have loved Dansko shoes and have several pairs of them. I ordered these and have them side by side with my old ones and there is no comparison! The shoes are way smaller and narrower! I have to send them back! Also, the material seems cheaper. I am so disappointed in Dansko, it looks like they are trying to save some money...
