These are true Dansko shoes. I am a hair stylist and stand on my feet long hours. Love the adjustable straps. I get a lot of compliments on them, great shoes! Didn't even need the break in period on these like most other Danskos.

Love. I ordered the 39 the other day, and it was too small. I go between the 2 sizes, 39 and 40 (usually wear a 9 US). I ordered the 40 last night, sad I had to wait till Thursday to wear these comfortable shoes (spoiled, right?), and I got them today! I love that Zappos puts up with me ordering so much and having to return some, but their customer service is to die for. Now the shoe. The shoe is a very comfortable molded footbed, not a very high arch, but nice. I will say the toe area at the top is a bit on the narrow side for me, in terms of the shape of the toe area, it seems a bit skimpy, but the larger size helped that. I don't think I even need to break these in, and plan on ordering the black as well.

I was having foot problems from years of wearing cute 'flip flops' and someone suggested trying this brand. I bought them in silver last summer and bought them in black this year. They are a little pricey for summer shoes, but so worth it. Indulge!

These are my favorite sandals. Great support, fits well and is very high quality. I am thinking of buying another pair as a backup. :)

I just ordered my second pair! I bought my first pair last summer and have worn them constantly. I like the arch support and the fact that the straps are completely adjustable, which is perfect for me as I have a hard time finding shoes for my hard-to-fit feet. I find them cute and comfortable!

Very nice shoe. I was surprised who much I like it The Velcro on the straps made it easy for quick adjustment. The buttons are too cute and the comfort and support awesome.

I felt comfortable in these sandals as soon as I put them on. I have trouble with my right pinkie toe - it doesn't always fit inside the 6.5 as they are - but this sandal is the exception - no additional foam pad or stretching required. Lovely to look at and really comfortable to wear.

I wore this shoe all over Italy in the summer. We walked miles and miles a day in 100-degree heat and this shoe was fantastic. I have a hammer toe and am in my 50s and my feet don't have the collagen they used to, and I was worried these shoes wouldn't have enough padding. I switched them out with another pair, which is a good idea when walking like this, and on cobble stones! But these were very comfortable and I didn't get any blisters. These shoes do not have the level of arch support of Danskos I'm used to but were quite good for a sandal. The style was terrific - the buttons on the sides gave them an interesting look which could be a little bit dressy if needed. The adjustable straps were part of the reason for the comfort of these as I have narrow feet. But when you are walking for miles and miles all day in stifling weather, you might need to let out the straps a bit at the end of the day! And I did. But keeping them snug kept them from chaffing. These great shoes helped make my trip great as I saw others who wore shoes that gave them blisters and it was awful for them. Zappos service was great as always.

Because of other reviews I read regarding size, I ordered a size larger than usual. Had to return them for my usual size, 40, and they fit perfectly. The arch support in this shoe is the best I have ever had in any shoe. Feels so good! I highly recommend this sandal! Style wise I marked it 3 stars because I would only wear them with long pants. Don't like the look with shorts or skirts. But I do wear them around the house with anything, where it's important for me to have a shoe with good support.

This is a very comfortable shoe. 4 out of the 5 straps are velcro adjustable. The price was right and the black patent can be dressy or casual.

Love, love, love these shoes. They are built with great support, are adjustable, and are stylish, too. I walked about two miles in these and my knees didn't hurt the next day. Yay! OK Danskos, I'm a believer. P.S. Zappos service, as always, is the absolute best.

Great supporting sandal. As I have "flat" feet, I have to be careful in selecting sandals. True to size.

I love this sandal so much that I ordered it in black patent leather also!! It fits true to size and love that I can adjust the straps since I have a narrow foot ! Saved lots of money by buying on Zappos website- thank you Zappos!

These are as comfortable as your old Birkenstocks...but with style. For those who avoid Dansko because of high insteps, note that all those little straps are velcro and can be adjusted.

I ordered the 39 and it was to small. I normally wear an 8.5. The 40 was too big. I wear a 40 in the closed toe shoes just fine but it didn't look right in a sandal.

I have arthritis in my big toe joint and my one foot is usually in great pain after wearing any shoe for awhile. The straps on this sandal are individually adjustable and make wearing them for a long time so comfortable! The arch support is super. I can wear them all day without feeling fatigued.

Very comfortable. This is my third pair. Good arch support; adjustable straps; cork foot bed. I normally wear an 8-8.5 AA and size 38 fits me perfectly.

Love these sandals! I waited until the end of season to buy them so that I could get them on sale. They look great and are very comfortable. Dansko is my favorite shoe maker. You can't go wrong.

These are great sandals! I have a narrow foot and what I really like about this sandal is that each of the straps, except for the front one, has velcro so you are able to adjust the width of the sandal to your foot. They are very comfortable, I this color, and best of all they were on sale.

They fit perfectly.There is enough arch and heel support and they were comfortable immediately. I have plantar fasciitis and Dansko has worked out well for me. Thank you Zappos for being there when shoe shopping in a store was not an option because it was just too painful to walk.

These are the most comfortable slides that I have owned. They are completely adjustable and provide great support! I love the color of the soles and the texture is comfortable, too. If I bought multiples I would have these in every color.

For people with wide feet, this is great because of the adjustable straps. I just found the Janie this year at a local store, but wanted to write a review on Zappos because I plan to buy more. I have such awful feet, a neuroma on my right foot and terrible arthritis on my left foot big toe. Summer thong sandals always do me in. I found these last month and my feet feel so much better. They aren't bad looking, love the cute buttons on each strap and the fact they are always adjustable except for the first strap is wonderful. I hope they make closed shoes like this so I can wear a flatter shoe with some style. If they don't, I am forced to wear the clogs, the only shoes I wear with no pain.

Excellent fit is established because there are 4 straps that can easily be adjusted to hold the foot gently in place. My foot is narrow, thin and has a low arch that without proper arch support would tend to pronate. This shoe is perfect for addressing all of these things. It's very comfortable; I couldn't ask for a better fit.

I am a runner and a teacher in my early 30s. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis over the past couple of years, and therefore have had to wear tennis shoes every day just to survive. I finally took my sister's advice and bought a pair of Danskos. Wow! Worth every penny! I wore them 4 of the 5 days this first week of school and my feet felt great!
