Ordered these in my usual 37, which always fits great! These are super narrow, so narrow my foot won't even slide all the way down, making the arch not hit right. They are so cute, though -- I am ordering in a 38 just to see if there's a chance they will work for me.

I am definitely a clog enthusiast, and I was so happy to come across these cute, fancy Danskos to wear to the 3 weddings I'm lined up to attend this summer! When I was hunting around for the best price, I was repeatedly disappointed to see that my normal Dansko size (39; I'm an 8.5 in other shoes) was not available anywhere. I decided to order these in a 40, figuring I could just tighten the heel strap if needed. Then, I read the reviews here, and was worried that even a 40 wouldn't work (my feet are wide at the toes but narrow heels). But they arrived today and I didn't have trouble getting my foot into the shoe, although it does fit closely around the top of my foot. No problem with the other strap as I have low arches, but I can see where it would be tight with high arches. I think the close fit of the toe box prevents my toes from touching the end of the shoe, so my heel is right at the end. But they feel really comfortable at the moment! They are really cushiony and I like the rocker when you walk. The heel is really not that different from regular Danskos. We'll see how they work when I spend an extended period in them. I'll be able to report on that shortly because I don't plan on taking them off anytime soon! They are so cute. I would echo the advice of the other recommenders here, though: order a size up!

What a great shoe! It is incredibly comfortable with the super cushioned molded footbed and the angle of the toe part of the platform makes walking like sitting in a rocking chair. You sort of roll off the front of the toe into your next step. Also they look hip and cool. I will caution those with hardwood floors to slip them off at the door - they are quite noisy, like a wooden clog. I had to go down to a 37 (I usually wear a 38 Dansko). These may not be so great for people with wide feet or high arches because they fit my low arched fairly narrow feet just perfectly.

These shoes are so cute and comfortable that I ordered three colors - black, brown, and red. I wanted green, too but I couldn't get it. I have a closet full of Danskos and normally wear 39 or 40. I have one pair in 39 and two in 40, and the smaller shoe feels like it has better arch support and not really any different width-wise. I have a generous forefoot as one shoe salesman kindly told me, so all shoes are tight. These shoes have an edge right over the widest part of my foot so they do start to pinch by the end of a day. Also, since I'm not used to wearing shoes without socks, my toes are getting blisters after a lot of walking. I have been using my shoe stretcher on them, as well as wearing them, to try to stretch those spots a bit. But generally these are more comfortable than any shoe with a heel, and they meet my requirements of closed toe sandals (so I can wear them at work and walk through the production floor). If I get a chance to get them in green, I will!

Oh, oh, oh! Finally! A pair of Danskos that I can wear! I have a narrow foot - especially in the heel, and Dansko always seems to make their shoes incredibly wide. But these little sandals worked like a charm for me. Plus, they are the cutest things ever and will be perfect with jeans, skirts, and all my green turquoise! Thank you, Dansko, for making these & realizing that not every woman in the world has wide feet! I am thrilled beyond words. Thanks, Zappos, for carrying these & for your usual lightning fast shipping. You so rock!

Super cute shoe - solid rocker heel that is comfortable, you won't even realize the slightly higher heel height. They do run a bit more narrow than the typical Dansko, they would have worked well for me but for a funky issue I seem to have with my pinkie toe, so had to send them back. I usually wear a 38, I ordered both a 38 and 39 but while the 38 was too tight, the 39's were really too large. They will be incredible shoes for someone!

I wear a 7M and these fit well enough; Dansko shoes are usually too wide if they are long enough for my foot. Unfortunately, I had a problem with pressure on the ball of one foot. The shoes are kind of cute, but seemed heavy and clunky, reminding me of Dutch wooden shoes. I am returning them.

I am a physical therapist and hate wearing ugly shoes...but I also have to be sensible. Enter the Dansko Thea. Can I just say, thank you Dansko for branching away from those hideous looking clogs and producing an adorable, versatile and super comfortable shoe. Now, this heel is higher the usual Dansko and wooden so it takes some getting used to...mine took a good month for the leather to break in (my pinky toes were not happy) but now, they fit like a glove. Just say no to sensibly ugly and Yes to sensibly adorable!

I love this shoe style. Normally my shoe size is an 39 (8.5 - 9.0), but in this case in reading all of the previous reviews I decided to order a 40 (9.5 - 10.0), and it was a perfect fit. I have thin feet, therefore on the case of how the width felt for me was just right. I would like this shoe to also come in a navy blue color to order. The comfort and support of this shoe is excellent, and it has a style that can be used with any attire (jean or dress).

Love these comfy and adorable shoes for work. I have lots of Danskos in size 36 (I normally wear 6 to 6.5) but got these in 37 which fit well. The main problem is the shallow toe box doesn't allow my foot to slide all the way down. I've only worn them a day or two but they are great so far. The wide upper strap is particularly cute, I think.

These shoes were perfectly comfortable right out of the box. The support is superb for such a cute and stylish shoe and I like the light and airy feel, relative to my Dansko clogs, which are just a bit to hot and heavy for most summer days. I feel like these are shoes I could walk comfortably for hours in.

I love the design on these shoes. I need closed toe shoes for work but want a little style so this was perfect. They are narrower than any other shoes I've gotten so I hope they give somewhat to make them perfect.

Wow. I own at least a dozen Dansko shoes. These fit so well and are like a push in your step. Nice lift. Normally I cannot wear any height or bend with pressure on the ball of the foot. These shoes have a nice lift that puts your weight back off the ball. Very nice style and look. The color is not as pink as shown, more beige. Nice shoes!

This shoe beat my expectations! I was worried that it might be too high of a heel and would be less comfortable/less supportive than other Dansko shoes. No fear! It fits perfectly, cradles my foot and feels sturdy and stable. Plus, I love the way it looks. I bought it in black. And I would buy it in other colors too.

Perfection! I have a very high instep (the bone on the top of my foot is very tall) and these, like most Danskos, fit really well. They are dressy enough for work or night out, and so comfortable.

I first ordered my normal size 39 which fit but seemed too small to wear all day.
I then ordered a size up (40) and they seem to be perfect! Love the fit and style.

These shoes are stylish and comfortable, and offer more arch support than most other Dansko sandals I own. Based on previous reviews, I was surprised to find that they fit perfectly out of the box (I am typically a narrow-ish US 9 or 9.5, and a Dansko 40 is a lovely fit for me). I purchased these in the sand color, and I have worn them nearly daily since receiving a couple of weeks ago.
Danskos are the only heels that I have been able to wear since undergoing several reconstructive tib/fib surgeries five years ago - I also have Debby in black and Marta in red, and these (Thea) gets the most complements by far. I am considering purchasing these in the Marine blue as well.

I love these shoes...and get so many compliments on them! Very comfy and very sturdy. I am usually an 8.5-9 and got a size 40. I am glad I did because the 39 would have been too tight for me. Already thinking about other colors to get.

I just received these sandals and they are absolutely gorgeous! I normally wear between 9.5-10 and I ordered the 41s which fit perfectly. You owe it to yourself to own a pair of these babies, not only are they stylish but I cannot believe how comfortable they are. I've been walking around all day with them on and have had no issues. These clog sandals from Dansko will be taking me through Spring and Summer and I'm sure I'll be ordering more in different colors. Love at first sight!

These were my third pair of Theas. I love the style and love the tangerine color. I find them to be very comfortable. They do make a lot of noise when walking on hard surfaces- according to my colleagues they always know when I'm coming. As for size, my other two theas were a perfect fit ( size 41.) This pair though a 41 were a tad larger then my previous pairs of the same size. The difference, however, was slight, so I kept them. I usually wear a 9-9.5, but for this shoe, the 41 fit my foot.

First I tried the natural, such a beautiful color. From the side, the shoe was flattering on me, but head on it looked oversized and clunky, clod-hopperish. I decided to try the black. Bingo, a winner! I feel so comfortable, so secure, and so fashionable in these shoes. Best Danskos ever! (My feet are not wide, which is probably why I have not had the troubles some other purchasers have experienced.)
I'd be interested to hear from people who bought the Thea in blue. I bought the Sam style in blue a few years ago. The color scuffed easily and faded. The Thea blue seems to be more intense. Does it last? I am so tempted to get it.

These are lightweight, super comfortable (as expected) they give you a bit of a lift and subtly elongate the leg. They are excellent with both skirts and jeans. I wish that I had the dough to get them in black and that fabulous green.

Narrower in the toe box than usual for Dansko clogs/shoes. As a person with narrow feet, and wanting to go sock-less, this style is perfect. Very soft leather, comfortable fit. Immediate satisfaction. The perfect warm weather shoe for me.

Love, love these shoes! Loved them so much ordered another pair the next day. Very cute and comfortable! I have a small foot, and finally found a pair that do not fall off my feet. I usually wear a size 6, the 37 fits perfectly. Would recommend these.
