I had worn my Franco Sarto loafers out (3rd pair over many years) and wanted to try something new. I love the Olivia. I take my normal Dansko/European size 39. Fit fine with tights or not too bulky socks. Considering a brown pair as well.

Love these shoes! They are very comfortable and do not hurt my feet when I wear them all day long. Also they go with everything!

These shoes are so comfortable! Bought them in 3 different colors. I wear a lot of black so these shoes work perfectly with a lot of my wardrobe.

I love these shoes - the patent leather looks great for work, and they are really comfortable. The sturdy construction keeps the leather from creasing, so they look good as new after weeks of every day wear. I'm very glad I chose them.

I've never written a review for shoes before, but for these I HAD to. I've wanted to buy Dansko for years, but couldn't get over how ugly they were. I've had Born, Merrell, Birkenstock, and 10 other brands of good shoes. This Dansko Olivia is the BEST shoe I have EVER put my feet in. I don't wear orthotics, but I have extremely high arches and I hate wearing shoes. These shoes feel AMAZING! They are so comfortable I don't realize I'm wearing them, and that is after 10 hours. My posture is better, and I feel stronger. I think the Olivia is cute, it's not great, but it's not near as big and clunky as the traditional Danskos. I did read the reviews prior to purchase, so I did order a 38 instead of a 39, and I still have room to spare. They fit perfectly the way I want them to fit, not to tight and not loose. I would buy every woman in the world this pair of shoes if I could. Oprah, please buy every woman these shoes!! On a negative, I don't think I should have to pay this much for a pair of shoes made overseas. That being said, they are worth their weight in gold because they are insanely comfortable.

I love these shoes! In fact, I've gotten this shoe in the gray, black, and brown colors. They are comfy all day long and they particularly look great with pants, which I tend to wear a lot. Make some more colors, Dansko!

I needed a comfortable work shoe that would look good with casual attire, but could be dressy too. Very comfortable, no break-in time was needed. Roomy toe box for my bunions. I prefer the less chunky Danskos, wish they made more streamlined styles like this.

These are so cute but the toe box is too short and they hurt my big toe, I have many pairs of traditional Dansko clogs and I love them but these do not fit the same, they seem to be smaller, too bad.

After all these years, Dansko finally got it right! Over the years, I've tried their version of a loafer, but the comfort and quality just hasn't been there...forcing me to wear their clogs with my dress pants in search of comfort for all day standing. This is an exceptional shoe. Rounded toe without looking functional. Good, solid foot bed, yet without the heaviness of their clogs. Like others, I went to a size down in this shoe; normally I wear a 38, but the 37 fits perfectly, especially with a trouser sock. I love the options in leather they offer; returning the solid black for a much more interesting pebble black.

I spend a lot of time on my feet and need to look dressed - these shoes fit perfectly and look superb with a suit or casual pants. I'm going to order them in another color!

I got these to help with my plantar fascia, and also accommodate my bunion. Finally, something that works! I'm thinking to get another pair, I like them so much. Not the most fashion forward, but pretty cute with jeans.

These are really beautiful shoes and very comfortable! I even got compliments on them, which, I don't always expect when wearing Danskos. I have never liked the original, clog version with the heels sliding off, etc. of Danskos. These are very light, supportive, and chic looking!

Comfort out of the box! I am back for more colors--this may be the best teacher shoe yet! More colors please! I purchased the brown cobblestone in a size 41. Dreamy, substantial shoe (not flimsy in the least).

These are my first pair of Dansko shoes, and I love them! I normally wear an 8.5, so I ordered the size 39. I have a narrow foot so the shoes are a little loose when I'm not wearing socks. They are perfect for work and super comfy for all day walking adventures.

Love these shoes. Unlike most Danskos, the sole is thinner, so I don't topple over. The gray is beautiful. Sadly, though, I've tried both the size 7 and the 6 and 1/2, and I can't get the right fit. Just not comfortable enough for the price, though I'll bet they are great if you don't happen to be between sizes, like I am. Have to send them back.

Finally a new Dansko style I love. It runs big, I am usually a 40 but in this I am a 39. Comfortable out of the box!

This shoe looks and feels great! I will be able to wear with pants or skirts/dresses with ease. I did try on a different color in the same size and they did fit differently; one was a touch too big, kept slipping off the heel so I recommend that if this happens, don't give up and try a different color.

Very comfy and look nice on the foot. Gaps a little when I walk, probably because I'm a 9 in flats but got a size 40 in this shoe to leave room for socks.

Haven't worn them for any extended period of time them as yet, but they feel great coming out of the box. I ordered the calf hair and read an article stating that it is the latest fashion, as well as animal print. The fibers are short and it is definitely not suede, so don't order it if you are looking for suede. It is a very pretty shoe-flexible. I wear between an 8 1/2 and 9. Ordered 39 and it is fine with thin socks for now and when it stretches a slightly heavier sock. The weather is getting cooler, so time for a closed shoe!

Love the look and feel of these shoes but I got TERRIBLE blisters after wearing them for the day without socks. I'm going to keep trying to break them in and hope for the best. They really do seem versatile and the snakeskin grey is a great all-color-matching option.

It's not unusual for me to walk at least four or more miles on the weekend. I don't like the looks of running shoes so I though that I'd try these. These shoes are incredibly comfortable and much more stylish than running shoes. I purchased the leopard calf hair which looks nice with jeans or black pants. This style is not as "clog-like" the other Dansko styles but is just as comfortable. I'd consider purchasing these in additional colors but the quality of the shoe makes me think that these shoes will be with me for many years of long weekend walks.

This is my third pair of these shoes! I love the gray as I can wear it year round. It takes a little time to beak them in, but they are comfortable with good support. I wear an 8, one foot is a lttle tight, but an 8 1/2 is too big.

This is a beautiful shoe. Had to return it because it was too short. Other reviewers said it ran large so I took a chance. Sorry I could not keep it. Great leather and the shape is very nice.

Wow, these shoes are great! I work in retail so I'm on my feet all day long. I didn't need to break these in or change shoes mid-shift. Very comfortable! Fit true to size for me. I have worn Dansko clogs for years but I really love the lower heel of this shoe and softer leather. You should definitely give these shoes a try!
