Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

These are my favorite office shoes. They are comfortable and stylish and don’t hurt my feet while walking all day.

The size 36 is inconsistent with other Dansko shoes. These were much longer and my heel kept slipping out.

Well, the size 38s in dansko have suddenly become too big for some reason, so I decided to try the next size down. Unfortunately they are a bit too snug, and this pair had a scratchy thread in the back that rubbed my ankle to the point it would have broken my skin if I'd kept wearing them. This pair also appears to have been worn. There is smudges on the bottom of one shoe, and there was no wrapping on the shoes or paper inserts. Very sad day. I've been buying danskos for eight years now. I don't know what I'll do for work shoes without them, but I'm getting pretty tired of buying them and then shipping them back.

Super comfortable and like the height and heel.

I'd been eyeing these for quite some time, and I'm so glad I decided to get them!! I love the way they look and feel. My arch is probably low to average- I had none of the issues other reviewers did with getting into the shoe. The foot bed is cushy and really comfortable for wearing long periods of time. Even more so than regular Dansko clogs. A favorite purchase, for sure!!!

Amazing

I have worn dansko clogs for a very very long time. I love the styling of these particular clogs. They are so cute! However, they are not as comfortable as the professional series. the leather is stiffer and not as soft. (I have a second pair that i bought about 4 years ago that are made with the same leather and they have never become comfortable to wear for long periods of time). I bought this pair to wear for long teaching days when i am on my feet for 10 hours or more. So far they are good except that they are rubbing my ankle and making if sore. I hope that once i break them in they will be my go to shoes.

I am so disappointed in these booties. They are not up to Dansko standards at all. I bought my usual size 39 and found them to be a little narrow but since I bought the leather ones I thought they would loosen up with wear. They did not. They have very little arch support and almost no cushion. By the end of the day I can feel the street under my shoes. Even on sale they're expensive so I expected they would give me the same cushion and support that I'm used to from Dansko. Not sure what went wrong here but my feet have never been so tired after wearing these all day. I suggest ordering a size up so you can insert orthotics.

I was so excited to receive these boots. I ordered a size 40. Boot was long enough but it was tight. I wore with tights, no socks. For reference my feet are on the narrow side. Thought perhaps I needed to wear for a day or so to break them in. Did not stretch out enough to be comfortable. I was so disappointed. I love the look and feel of the boot. Sadly I returned. I guess I could try a 41 but think my heel will slip around too much.

LOVE these boots! I’m a barista- on my feet ALL day. I have flat feet. These are so flattering AND comfy. Make my feet look super small and also more comfy than any other heeled shoe/boot I have tried so far. I can stand for 8 hours in them- no problems. I’m normally a 9- 9&1/2 but the 39 ( for 8.5-9) fits perfectly. I’m buying another color right now!

This is my third pair of these shoes. I absolutely love these. I have terrible flat feet and I do a lot of walking. These are the only shoes that last and that are comfortable all day. Thank you Dansko for making great shoes!

Sadly, there was no pink to these lovely boots. They were only a color I would call dust.

I believe the one show out of this pair had a fluke defect. On the interior soled of the left shoe, by the tow, the insole has curled up and is malformed. Will return and reorder a NEW pair

Loved the style of this shoe, and the booties appear to be the typical Dansko quality, but I'm a 7-7.5 and while the 38 was much too large (my heel was slipping most of the way out even in thick socks), I couldn't even get my foot into a 37. If it came in half sizes I'd be first in line to reorder!

Tried desperately to make these work for me. I sized down from my usual Dansko 39 to a 38. Fit was better but would need to stretch the sides. The biggest issue is that they looked like rain boots on my stick legs due to the gap at the top. I had no problems getting them on my wider feet. Maybe the pink was a factor (not pink enough) as well. No matter how I styled them, they didn't work for any outfits. Disappointed. I think these are likely great boots for the right person, probably someone with longer legs or fuller calves.

I already own the nubuck version of these and have no complaints. They are stylish and comfy. I just bought the regular leather and sadly could not even get my foot into it! Same style and size, but nope, had to return them.

Fav of all Dansko boots. Comfortable for all day. Hip enough to wear out at night. Love them and bought in all available colors.

Beautiful bootie, however very, very narrow on the lower ankle. It may be due to the way it's stitched. I have little ankles and calves, so this was quite a surprise.

Love love love these shoes. First wore them for a 12-hour day of lots of standing and walking. Was not disappointed. A little tight to get on and off, but it's gotten better. Fit with enough space for a thin to light sock. These do run slightly smaller than the Danskos clogs because I don't think they're supposed to fit the same way. I bought my same size and it was great.

I have owned the Black Nubuck and the Black Full Grain version of these shoes so I thought I could offer some good insights into both. I work in retail and am on my feet all day (8 hrs), so I was looking for a stylish bootie with great support. These aren't quite the same footbed & arch support as Dansko professional clogs, but they are still excellent for my needs. They offer great arch support and the rubber soles are amazing shock absorbers. I am a size US 8 1/2 and I wear a size 39 in Danskos. I purchased the nubuck version first because there wasn't another option available. They were very soft and comfortable right out of the box, no break in period at all. They did stretch out pretty quickly and my foot moved around a bit in them. After wearing them almost daily for about 2.5 years, the sole on one of them split across the middle of the footbed. This is what prompted me to buy a new pair. I thought it was a little unusual for Danskos to have this issue and mentioned it to a friend. He said considering how long I've owned them and how often I wore them that I probably got my moneys worth. So I decided to replace them. For my 2nd pair I went for the full grain leather because I like the look better. They look a little dressier and definitely have a similar look to the popular Hasbeens. I can dress them up pretty easily compared to my nubucks, which always felt a little too casual. When my new pair arrived they were EXTREMELY tight - in the toe box and in the heel. So much so, that I thought I was going to have to go up a size. I wore them around the house a bit and to my surprise, they started to stretch out fairly quickly. I was able to wear them to work the next day and they were fine all day. I started with thin socks and gradually worked into thicker ones. What I also really like about the full grain leather is that they hold their shape MUCH better than the nubuck. I kept my old nubuck pair and I wear them when doing projects like painting, etc...since I don't have to worry about them getting ruined. Every time I put them on I realize how much they stretched out. I have to wear really thick socks with them now. Lastly, it's worth pointing out that the full grain does mark-up really easily. They're looking a bit thrashed right now and I've yet to find any care instructions for these on the Dansko website but I'm going to email them. I would recommend both and hopefully my review will help you determine which one would be the best fit for you.

I absolutely love these booties. I have a lot of problems with my feet including nerve damage in my toes, ankle issues and overall painful feet. These shoes do wonders for me. I feel like I could walk in them all day long. Absolutely love them and they’re super stylish. I would love to get more colors! Highly recommend.

I've been wearing Dansko shoes for 15+ years, and there's something wrong with these boots, at least for my ankles. After wearing these a few times, I developed excruciating pain in the lateral (outside edge) of the ankle, just above the malleolus (bumpy nob). It felt like the shoe was pressing into the tendons, but whatever the cause, it was a sensation that makes one want to walk barefoot in the cold, rather than try to hobble along in the boot. Zappos Customer Service was great, offering me a refund. Thank you Zappos! I'm sticking with the Zappos Luann boot -- a totally different look, but one that makes my foot happy.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but unfortunatly they did not fit my foot shape. It was odd trying to get them on, but they felt very comfortable. The toe box is not roomy at all, which is why I had to return them.

I am really enjoying these Danskos! I originally purchased the Dansko Shirley and returned as they just felt too bulky as compared to these. I found these booties to be a bit more streamlined and less clunky than the Shirley. I have worn with both pants and with a dress/ tights. It does take time to get used to the heel slip fit with Danskos, but overall these were an excellent purchase!!

These are so cute and sooooo comfortable!! I have developed arthritis in my feet and Dansko was recommended by the Arthritis Foundation. I decided to try these and I LOVE them! I can finally wear cute shoes again!!!! Thanks to tylenol and DANSKO!! I will probably get the brown ones too:)
