Great shoe but felt narrow. I always fit into a 39 but it felt very snug in the width. I am returning and ordering a 40 to see if that will work.

Yeah, this shoe is awesome. Looks great, feels better than any heel I've ever worn. So cute! I'm not normally a heel-wearing kind of person...but I love these.

Love these shoes! I have many pairs of Dansko clogs & sandals. In true Dansko form, these sandals are extremely comfortable & fit true to size. I am a 7 1/2-8 & wear a 38.

I got these in green from another online retailer b/c Zappos was out of it in my size. So glad I got them. Adore them. Yes, they are a bit more narrow than the typical Dansko, but I say thank goodness! Many Dansko styles run too wide. These are comfy and fun. I normally wear a 5.5-6, and the 36 fits me perfectly.

The shoes are super cute and comfortable. I get compliments every time I wear them! They do run pretty small. I normally wear and 38 and had to get a 39 because the 38s were so tight. But I love the shoes and I love Zappos!

Wore these for 10 hours right out of the box; no need for back up shoes. Comfort as I would expect from Dansko. Many compliments on the red (has a pink hue to it). Love them.

These Danskos are super stylish and comfortable. I wear them on days when I have to stand and walk around for 8+ hours and they are so supportive. Most people can't believe they are Dansko clogs!

Runs a bit small so you may want to consider ordering a half size up. I'm a 6.5 so bought the 37 (6.5-7) which fit perfectly.

These shoes look like they might feel too high heeled for this 49 yr old, longterm Dansko wearer but as soon as I slipped my feet into them I fell in love! They are so comfortable. They just cradle my feet without any snug spots or pressure of any kind. The new heel is a treat; both aesthetically (great style!) and there is a wonderful roll to each step that makes the extra height easy to adjust to. I got mine in brown which is not as versatile with my wardrobe as I wear too much black but at Dansko prices I sure cannot justify another pair anytime real soon. These shoes are fun!

I love this style. These are a little dressier than Dansko, usually is because of the wedge heel. Also like the wide strap across the front is a cute look plus it gives a secure feeling to the fit. They are very comfortable around my apartment. I am not sure how comfortable they would be for wearing all day.

I read the reviews and decided to give these a try anyway. Unfortunately everyone was right about the shoes being narrow. They were too narrow for my size 8M feet. They are pretty cute for comfortable shoes but I ended up going with a different look.

Dansko Thea is super cute and adorable. I bought it in both black and nude. I love the new more sexy design, but they run super narrow and the instep band does not yield. Unfortunately, they went back.

Super, super adorable and on trend. I have pretty wide feet, though, and the top portion of the shoe does cut into my foot, but I am hoping that'll stop once they wear in.

I wanted to love these and in some ways I do. I love the way they look. But they are not comfortable. If your second toe is longer than your big toe, disaster. So painful, because of the way the toes fit in the toebox there is no place for that long toe to go and it gets crushed a little with every step. Also, there is no flex in the sole at all, and this combined with the heel height led to some very painful feet/ankles/hips at the end of the day. I wore these just long enough to get them too scuffed to return, and now they sit in my closet taunting me. I wear them every once in a while, and afterwards I always regret it. Bummer.

The leather's stiffness is a feature of veg-tanned leather. It won't be soft and supple with this type of a tanning process. I knew that when I ordered, and was perfectly prepared to deal with it for the sake of the color and style.
My only other pair of Danskos is the "Marcelle" (now called the Maryjane). This has the special sole, not the wood one. Wearing these Theas I didn't really notice any problems with the sole as other reviewers have claimed. The Marcelle, to me, is an inflexible sole as well. I mean, nothing that thick is actually going to flex! So, the fact that the sole of this sandal is wood was not a drawback for me.
Unfortunately the design falls flat in one area. The edge of the toe box ends just at the base of my baby toe, which means that my foot then bulges out unattractively right under the edge of the toe box (outer edge of my foot). If the toe box had been about 1cm longer, towards the heel, it would have covered the bump, and I could have stretched the leather width-wise if necessary, but it's just too short. It gives me another Cinderella-Stepsister moment. I have to send them back.

Love the style, but most are right on about the narrowness of the shoe. Not sure what happened to Dansko, but ever since their company was bought their shoes fit worse and worse. I have an old-school pair from about 6 years ago, still wearing them. They are similar in style to the Thea but actually Wide enough (same size, too). Dansko's quality has gone down but these shoes are just right if you want something trendy and almost comfortable for the summer.

Loved the look of these, and on first try-on and even testing them out around the house, no trouble. However, 2 hours into my shift, major big trouble! It might just be my mutant foot, and I feel stupid for not bringing a back-up pair in case of a problem, but by the end of the day, I was crippled by blisters, on both sides of my feet. A few days later, I'm still getting over the foot-ache, dangit! I so wanted them to work - super cute on, but they were working shoes for me and didn't work out. I'm sure they'd be fine for more casual wear, and maybe my foot is just not built for these.

I originally purchased Dansko Sams after I injured my feet and knees from running after a long break. I loved the Sams so much that I started wearing them every single day to work and on weekends--and they started to show their wear. So I bought these shoes to have a pristine pair for workdays. I work at a standing desk in a corporate office and have sworn off heels forever since my happy reunion with Danskos--which I wore in high school. These aren't quite as comfortable as the Sams (I live in an urban environment and regularly walk 5-6 miles a day on weekends in those), but they are still extremely comfortable and supportive for shorter distances and time frames--perfect for a workday. The Sand Full Grain is a beautiful neutral color that matches my skin and goes with everything. I wear these almost every single day--am wearing them now!

Dansko Narrow Pro clogs are my mainstay. Because of my narrow feet I ordered these in 38 (I always wear 39 Narrow in the narrow pro clogs). These work fine without socks for me. They're funky and cute. Not as comfy as my Dansko clogs but that's to be expected. My toes are right at the end but I'm used to it- i usually have to size down half a size when narrow widths aren't available. These shoes look so cute with dresses and skirts for work. I also wear them with leggings and a tunic.

Very happy with these. Updated Mary Jane with interesting detail in the heel. I teach middle school and walk to work. Haven't had any problems, feet don't get tired, back feels okay. I've worn them with pants and dresses; these work with both looks.

Love, love, love these! The style is great, because you get the 70's clog look, but a little bit easier on the wallet and with out sacrificing proven comfort and support. As for the fit. I normally wear a 6.5... but as I am trying on more well-made shoes I'm noticing that I am a 6 and even 5.5. I have tried on 3 styles on Dansko's now, and 2 of the 6's were too large. I think that I am able to pull these off because they are a sling-back style. And I'm not positive, but it look slike Dansko might not go any smaller :( I wore them to school, I'm a 3rd grade teacher. They did get scuffed. Thankfully they are leather and it just comes with wear. As for how my feet felt, the arches/muscles felt fine, great even! The right foot the tops were sore. It was almost as if my left foot was a bit fatter or larger. Hopefully in time they will stretch out a bit. They do start out painfully stiff. But, at the end of the day, I would were them again. Just amybe not two days in a row. And even if they don't end up being a regular part of my work rotation, they are a fantastic addition to my wardrobe! Love the 70's vibe!

I have narrow, flat and long feet (size 9.5). These fit perfectly and are so much more flattering than my regular Danskos.

Really bummed these didn't fit. The opening across your metatarsal is very tight and narrow. The hairdryer trick wasn't going to do enough for me. If you have average width to narrow feet, you will love these!

My feet blistered the fifat few times, but it's getting better! I walk 6-10 miles a day in these shoes. That's probably the reason why this happens! I have pretty serious arches feet and it's hard to find shoes that I can wear for longer than a few hours. These do the trick. They're also adorable and I get compliment on them ALL the time! Highly recommend, even if they took a little loving to get used to!
