Customer Reviews Dansko Elise

I LOVE Dansko...it's about all I wear. However, I found this athletic shoe to be seriously lacking in padding/support at the top 1/3 of the shoe. Weird. Everything else was great -- the style, quality, and support in the rest of the shoe was as I would expect of Dansko. Because of back and knee issues, it's imperative for me to have full support. If that is not an issue for you, I'd still recommend the shoe...it's cute, light, and a quality product.

I have bought many Dansko shoes in the past. I expected the sneakers to be as comfortable as the other styles Dansko makes. These were not comfortable, in fact, they made my arches ache

These are the cutest shoes and I was so excited about them, but as soon as I put them on I knew I could not use them for walking in Paris or even at the gym. They have no support for the ball of the foot. So disappointing because I expected them to be up to normal Dansko standards. I am returning them.

I fell in love with these shoes, but, sadly, they do not measure up to the Dansko name for arch support. The arch support I expect to feel in Dansko products was not present. My feet hurt after just a few minutes wearing these around the house. I wear Dansko or Orthaheel products all of the time, so I expect good support with comfort. Unfortunately, these shoes did not deliver either.

I buy shoes -- and Dansko in particular -- for the foot solutions they provide: specifically, rigid sole (for plantar fasciitis relief) and supported arch (which helps relieve heel spur). This shoe has none of that. It has an unreinforced sole, so it provides none of the usual Dansko stability. It seems to have an extraordinarily wide ankle opening, and a boxy shape overall (which I did not find attractive). I bought two other Dankso shoes in the same size (same order), but this was the only one of the three that was too large. It is the only one I will be returning. FYI, I bought size 41.

It looked okay...but was small in size. I wear an 8.5 so I ordered the 39 which said 8.5-9. My toe was touching the top and that was not comfortable. I returned them, couldn't wear that all day.

Very disappointed in these shoes. Good for wearing around to do quick errands. Very poor for extended walking. My feet were screaming at me after a 2 mile walk. Have worn Dansko Pro for work with no problems.

These were so disappointing. I love Dansko Volley shoes and was hopeful that this sneaker style would be just as comfortable but in a sporty style. Sadly, the sole is so thin that it feels like I am walking with a thin piece of paper between the floor and my feet. There is not room for any additional sole padding. I love the style, but so wish that Dansko would combine the think clog sole with this sporty look! I had to return them.

These are the strangest shoes I have ever tried on. The suede part just sort of flops there and you can't tighten the laces enough to help. Then there is this odd separate piece, a sort of rubbery thong like thing the purpose of which I don't get. They look cute in the photo but a person would like to actually wear the shoes and feel like they had shoes on.

This shoe is no ware near the fit and comfort of the other Dansko lines. This shoe hurts my heel and my feet feel sore at the end of the day. I'm a restaurant manager and am on my feet all day every day. I love the Dansko shoes I wear. Every pair have been perfect until this one.
