Customer Reviews Dansko Harlow

The was left foot was very comfortable; the right was tight around the toes. The shoe rubbed the top of my tirht foot and my big toe. I was very disappointed.

I liked the look of these shoes, and enjoyed the ease of putting them on, attaching the Velcros according to needs of he day or night. They look very cool and even fashionable, maybe. The only problem is that they dig a bit into my upper front feet. I have high arches and hope that with time and wear the shoes will be fine and then I can buy another pair in a different color, like red. I am hoping this will change with time and wear.

Let me start with this: I love these shoes and wear them to work almost every day. They are pretty and professional enough to wear here in conservative insurance-land. That being said, I can t give them a 5-star rating since it was such a long, painful process to break them in. I have arthritis in my knees and can t wear heels to work anymore (I wish I never did!) My doctor recommended Danskos to me since they are popular with the medical set. I told her I was a wide width, and she said, Don t worry, they ll stretch. I was a bit dubious about this but went ahead and bought the Harlow after trying a different pair in a store to figure out my size I m usually a 7 wide and I went with 38. They totally solved the heel problem since I still get enough elevation that I don t have to hem all my pants (and can be a bit taller to be eye-to-eye with the men at work) but the platform makes it like wearing a shoe with a inch heel. After the first day, I didn't think I was going to make it, though, since my left foot was in such agony where the shoe cuts down on the side. I took them to a shoe repair shop (Almada Shoe Repair in Hartford, CT the guy s an angel) and he told me he couldn't stretch them for me because they are so low cut so I d have to break them in on my feet. He sold me shoe stretch for cheap and showed me how to soak them inside and out and wear them all day. He said this style is particularly hard to stretch because of the decorative stitching and extra layer of leather on the top. Ouch, ouch, ouch! I toughed it out. It took a few weeks before I could wear them all day without pain. I m there now (and glad I stuck it out) but I do want to warn anybody who has wide feet that this may not be the style for you.

Comfortable but not my style. I think they would work for someone with a career that could have funkier shoes, because they are a bit on the clunky side. But very well-made and comfortable like I said! They felt a half-size too long for me, I wear a size 6.

Lovely mary jane with a cute design, a much welcomed change from the usual clunky clog style from Dansko . I have wide feet with high arch and from the get-go, the shoes are very comfortable with no breaking in required. The foot bed is one of the more comfortable of recent memory and the weight is lighter than normal Dansko clogs which is a plus. One huge problem is the velcro strap. The velcro portion is relatively short as a result, the strap become undone on multiple occasions during the first 2 days of wear. I decided to stop wearing the shoes when both straps came undone when I was crossing the road. Probably will leave them in the office when winter rolls in and need something to switch with snow boots. Would not recommend unless it is indoor use and you do not plan on walking much on these shoes.

I have several pair of Danskos. Unfortunately for me even though I love the style, these shoes did not fit my right foot correctly. I felt a pressure point and my heels slid out of them. They sure are cute though and I love the overall look and heel height.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Dansko Harlow. There was minimal break in time and they fit better than past Dansko shoes that I have owned. They are very cute and I prefer the Velcro closure instead of a buckle.

I really liked these shoes, but the velcro doesn't hold and I walk out of them. I think it is a growing problem with Dansko shoes. They need buckles not velcro.

These are really pretty in person. They have nice cushy interior, but low cut sides hit the widest part of the foot and cut in and pinch. Beware if you have feet that are even a little wide.

Adorable shoe, but velcro is not the way to keep them secure on your feet. Sudden stops pop open the velcro. Disappointed.

I love the look and feel of these shoes. My feet don't get tired at all when I wear them. The drawback is the velcro fastenings. The velcro wore out after about two months and I had to have it replaced. Now, the second set of velcro is not holding and the straps are starting to fly open again. If only they had used a buckle, these would be almost perfect shoes for Dansko lovers.

This is very cute but the fit is not great. There is a lot of pressure on the front of my foot in these shoes and they feel small. I am a 7 1/2 with wider feet and can always wear a 38 in Dansko shoes and clogs but this feels too small. Also the velcro strap is irritating as it comes undone every few steps. Would not recommend this shoe.

I could slip my orthotic into this shoe, but it just did not fit right. My toe was too close to the end. Heel may have been too high also. Keep in mind I have a very hard to fit foot.

I loved these shoes when I bought them, however, they always hurt some. It has been difficult to realize that I really am not comfortable in them the way that I expected to be (with fit problems). I kept thinking they just needed to break in. The second aspect that bothers me a great deal is the florets get hung up on all of my pant hems and rip them out. I have had every pair of pants that I own rehemmed at least once. My right foot has always been a little wider than my left, and it seems that both of my feet have spread a little in my maturing years. I am doing much better with the leather version of the Dansko Veda, although they are not as cute.

Did not realize the closure was velcro! I am a corporate trainer so am on my feet 9+ hours a day and while bending down the velcro came undo and it sounded like I had ripped my pants. Not exactly the image I am trying to project. And the closure caught on my pant hem and I ended up limping along with 1 shoe flopping along with me. The toe box was too small - and I have owned many pairs of Danskos in the same size. Sent them back.

Ouch! The width of this model is way too short, and this is my fourth pair of Dansko's. I'm shipping 'em back tomorrow.

I wanted to like these shoes so much, and I still love the comfort and look. Unfortunately, the velcro fastening comes undone when I walk quickly--which is pretty much any time I am crossing the street before the light changes. There is nothing as annoying as having your shoe come undone in the middle of the road. I'm a die-hard Dansko fan, but this shoe has a fatal flaw.

I love these clogs, comfortable and great support. I have flat, narrow feet. The down side to them are these two things: 1) They make black marks on my hardwood floors. I work at home and on cement floors in the basement, so of course, I bought them to work on the cement floors, but I always feel like I have to take my shoes off when I come upstairs. I don't want to take my shoes off cause I need the arch support! Hmmmm..... 2) The velcro straps come undone a lot when I am walking and then I almost trip and fall. Only other comment from me is that I would love to see some Dansko clogs that look like Swedish Has Beens or Lotta from Stockholm. More of a regular looking heel and not so much like clogs. Thanks Dansko and Zappos!

Didnt work out. The foot bed as always with dansko is great, but the back heel part is too hard. It rubbed my skin off walking around my house testing them out in just 20 minutes! I returned them.

First of all, I just have to say that these shoes are ridiculously adorable. I wanted them so bad... But when I bought them I was not listening wisely to my intuition or my body. Basically these are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever tried wearing, the way that my heel struck the ground while wearing these created intense pain in my ankles and knees.. It's really a pity. They are gorgeous.

I usually love Dansko's, and while I love the "look" of this shoe, the velcro straps drive me crazy. Maybe it's just me, but I'm used to slipping my foot into a shoe and fastening it (either by lacing or buckling, but I find that I've got to "tweak" & "re-tweak" the velcro closure a bunch of times to try to get it just "right." Perhaps it's the placement of the velcro/it hits right at the point where you need it to "give" just a little when you take a stride and are rolling off the ball of your foot: I find that at the moment, I'm wishing that the strap would give just a bit, but since it's velcro, it doesn't give at all, so I deal with that feeling because adjusting the strap that little bit makes it too loose for the rest of the stride. I wish Dansko would have built-in a little elastic so that the strap can be as snug as you need and yet "give" a little when you need it to. I liken my frustration with having to tweak the velcro straps to loaning your car to someone who changes all your seat's & mirror's: it's a pain to have to reset all the mirrors & the seat height, distance & tilt angle. I wish these shoe straps came with a "remember" button like some electronic car seats!

Cutest Dansko I've purchased, however, they are very uncomfortable so I am returning them. They seemed small and I am on my feet for work.

I have 10 pairs of Dansko's and have loved them all except these. I bought them locally and can only wear them when I do a shorter shift at work. They cut in really odd places and are not as comfortable as my pro clogs and other Dansko's I own. They are super cute and I do wear them just not for my long days.

I wear a size 12. I love the Dansko style, but they never fit. They are always a 1/2 size too small - my toes brushing against the edge of the shoe. I love the style, and otherwise they feel great. Sometimes I order them anyway...hoping...Dansko please, just a bit larger.

I have wide feet and have had my bunions removed, which may explain why these just weren't comfortable to me at all. My foot hung off the side slightly and pinched the sides of my feet. I wore them for several hours and the shoe never broke in. I took the shoes off about 10 hours ago and my feet are still remembering the pain. The shoes are cute and the velcro makes it easy to put on and take off. The insole is not removable, so if you need to wear orthotics, keep that in mind.
