Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

I LOVE these boots. There are inside side zips to getting them on your foot is simple. The leather is beautiful also. Of course the new leather will be a bit stiff as they are new. I see no problem with this. I have back issues and these Danskos like all others help immensely. I highly recommend these boots. My usual size is 'almost' a 10.5; (41). They fit exactly like my other Danskos. Thank you!

These are so comfy. I bought them for work where I have to stand all day. I have a very high arch and a slightly wide foot and these accommodate both thanks to the zipper. They fit me like a glove and look good. Low key. Nice thick leather and quality zipper. The only issue is that they’re not good for kneeling on the floor. The toes will dent in. I have the black and the midsole is a medium brown rather than the pale tan they show here. I like the color of mine.

Ok I am a longtime clog enthusiast, but they usually work better in my imagination than in real life. I’ve had Swedish HasBeens, but had to sell them on eBay bc the wooden clogs were too much work to walk in. I had gorgeous Sven clogs, but I could just never make them work without feeling like the style made me look too matronly. Danskos have never let me down though, and these give me the style AND the comfort I’ve been looking for...which is why I just purchased them in mid-July when they were finally restocked. I’m so glad I did. I have back issues and a foot issue with a slight limp as a result of my back issues, so I’m super picky about shoes. I’ve only walked around the house in them for ten minutes but I can see the comfort. I’ll report back after a day of wearing them eventually. As for size, I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 depending on the shoe; I went with my Birkenstock size, which is a 38, and it’s a perfect fit for me. I found the shoe easy to get into, and I love how it gives me a bit of height without feeling like I’m wearing heels. These clog boots were super trendy last year, but they’re totally my style and I know I’ll get tons of use out of them. Also even though I wear a lot of black clothing, I went with the taupe as I felt it was the most versatile for my wardrobe.

I JUST GOT THESE AND LOVE THEM. I didn't have any trouble getting my feet in them (I was worried, since other reviewers said they did, but Dansko must have fixed this). They're super comfy. I wear a 9.5-10 in most shoes but have Dankso Professional clogs in a 42 so got a 42 in these also. They fit great--roomy, but I'd rather have that than too small. This way my thick winter socks can fit if necessary. I ripped the box open and put these on to try them on, and I haven't taken them off! So cute and comfy. Now I want them in all the colors!!! And love the SUPERFAST Zappos shipping <3

I love these boots. I had a pair of black leather Maria boots that I wore for a year and then the zipper broke. So I just got a pair of black nubuck ones (since they don't have the plain leather anymore). Both types of leather seem to fit the same (although some people have written that the nubuck stretches out more). I haven't had the nubuck ones long enough to see if they stretch out. My feet are a 9 to 9.5 and the 40 fits me. I tried the 39 and it was too tight. My heel does slip up and down a little. These boots are comfortable and stylish and I wear them all the time!

These Maria booties are my new clogs. I wear them everywhere and all the time. They are comfortable, stylish, and for me, the perfect heel and shaft height. I first bought a pair in the taupe color during the summer and wore them constantly to work because they were so comfortable, they looked great with pants and skirts, and I got a ton of compliments. I loved them so much, I recently bought a second pair in black. I did have an interesting experience with the size between the two pair. I have a high arch and normally wear a size 38, which is the size I bought in both colors. With the taupe pair, the left shoe fit fine, but right shoe felt very narrow, was a little difficult to put on and was a bit uncomfortable when I first starting wearing them. I considered sending them back, but tried wearing them with low cut socks for a while to stretch them out and that seemed to do the trick after a week or so; they've fit fine ever since. I then bought the same size in the black and those were a perfect fit right out of the box. I've been wearing them to work and for play pretty much every day since they arrived. I just love them, especially with long black leggings under a tunic top. They have become part of my fall uniform.

I love these booties! I wear a 9.5 normally, 40 in dansko clogs. I ordered a 40 in the Maria booties, and they seemed to slip around a lot more than my dansko clogs. I ordered a 39, and I expect they will fit just fine when they arrive. Support and comfort is very similar to my dansko clogs.

Love these! Wore them the first day - all day with no problem. Had no issues getting my wider feet into the boot. These are going to be a staple fall/winter shoe (Scotchguard!) and were worth a bit of investment. A great/cheaper alternative to the Swedish boots I had been coveting.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable that I put them on and went to work (standing for 12 hours)! I wear a size 7 shoe but usually to have a bigger boot or sneaker. I got these in a 37 and 38. The 37 fits better and has a smaller ankle opening but the 38 will be good with a heavier sock.

I bought this with some trepidation as other reviews mentioned difficulty getting the boot on. I have not found that to be the case and I have fat ankles. It's not a boot you can just slip into but with minimal effort it's on. I especially like how light weight it is. It looks good, with a tiny bit of edge to it and yet has great arch support. I'm happy with it.

These are beautiful shoes. They fit great, extremely comfortable, while giving you a nice heel. Suede is beautiful, high quality, perfect coloring.

I have problems with almost all shoes because of a broken leg when I was 21. 7 years later it comes along with tendon pain and tightness, plantar fasciitis and sometimes even tightness in my calf. These shoes are amazing, no pain at all worn for more than 12 hours a day. Wore them to thanksgiving, then helped a friend move in them, and today was out all day in them. So comfy and look gets with jeans and t shirt.

Have to get them widen because they are very narrow. Can only wear them if they’re unzipped

I have a very difficult foot to fit...a true 10 1/2. 10's are too short and 11's too long. Plus I have a very narrow heel and my little toe fits under the 4th toe (due to a break) which causes the "knuckle" of the 4th toe to be higher and often rubs the top of my shoe. I have a bad knee and heels that are too high make it hurt when walking downhill especially. These shoes are very comfortable in the 41. The heel slips a little but wearing socks will help. I love the neutral color and wore them right out of the box the first day , walked my mile up and down hills to work, and my feet felt fine.

I have history of plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma and a developing bunion on my right foot. I'm pretty particular about what shoes I will wear day to day and am always seeking out shoe options. I live in Chaco sandals and would wear those year around if I could (but I can't, due to winter). I'd not tried Dansko's, and decided to try them on the recommendation from some of my friends and the stellar online reviews. I ordered 3 different styles (Ingrid in black oiled, Berry in black burnished nubuck, and Maria bootie in black milled nubuck). I wear a size 9/9.5 and ordered a 40 in each of the styles. The length was perfect, but these are simply too narrow for my bunion foot. At the price I paid, I am not willing to wear them out and see if they will stretch and then not be able to return after wearing outside. The Berry was a bit wider and had a cushier footbed, making it the most comfortable of the three I tried, but I was not impressed with the finish on the leather and didn't feel that they would last very long. I was much impressed with the oiled leather of the Ingrid. I am going to return these 3 and go back to shopping and look for an oiled Dansko available in wide width and give that a try.

I loved this shoe, but the opening looked comical with my skinny ankles. They were more petite that I imagined them looking which I loved. Also, usually a regular width Dansko clog 39 is too wide for me, but the width of the boot was perfect.

Extremely comfortable, very cute boots. There is a zipper to get in and out of them so not sure this is the same model that people have trouble taking on and off. I bought them in the same size as my Dansko clogs and they are huge. Going to try going down a size and hope for the best I guess.

I couldn’t get my foot into the boot even with the zipper fully down. Beautiful looking boot though.

I have a lot of foot issues so I really wanted these boots to work for me because they actually look nice. I know a lot of people who swear by them so I had high hopes. They felt great when I put them on but unfortunately I had incredible pain in my arthritic big toe joint after just a few hours of wear.

I love Dansko and have several pairs of sandals and clogs, but had never bought boots. I really wanted these to work. Sadly, I couldn't even get my foot into the shoe. I think if there had been some elastic, they would have been perfect.

I thought the Maria felt and looked very nice, but once I took a good look at the sole, I was concerned that it would wear out and wouldn’t be replaceable. Turns out these soles are indeed NOT fixable should they wear, and you can’t attach a protective sole. I prefer shoes that last with proper care, so these are sadly going back.

I've worn Dansko for 15 years, but wasn't able to make these cute boots work. They were so narrow across the middle of my foot that my toes started going numb after wearing them for just a few minutes. (My feet are slightly wide, it I don't normally have to order a wide width.)

I've had multiple pairs of Danskos over the years, always size 36, so comfortable, love them. So I was really excited to get these--they're so cute, I love the cloggy (is that a word?) look. BUT they had the strangest fit! Mainly, they were way too long -- my foot was stepping out the back. 36 is the smallest size so no fixing that, and even thick socks weren't enough to make up the difference. But also, like others have mentioned, the toe and heel portions are pretty wide/roomy, while the center/arch area is strangely a bit narrow. I do think that probably would have stretched out over time, but then the shoe would have been WAY too big! So, very reluctantly, I had to send these back.

So sad. I've wanted clog boots for years and finally decided to splurge. I wear an 8.5 and these said they were 8.5 to 9 so I thought they would be fine. My foot is of average width. I've never had a problem getting my feet in shoes, but I can not even get my foot close to where I'd be able to push it in. I could get another size, but I think I'll try and find some in a store where I can actually try them on first.
