Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

Love these Dansko booties. I ordered them in black leather. Fit a little bigger than the other pair I ordered in another color. But great fit and feel.

I am a Dansko fan. As a teacher on her feet all day, Dansko's tend to be my "go-to" shoe. Lately I've been trying to streamline my look and go for something less clunky, so while the comfort and style are great, I found myself wishing for a low-profile shoe that still fit my wide feet. If you like the support of a Dansko and don't mind a bit of chunk and heft, these are the shoe for you! Great support and a wide foot-bed, even in a regular width. The Dansko Maria Taupe Milled Nubuck is the perfect neutral to go with everything. Pay attention to the color of the heel; it affects the overall look of the bootie. Personally, I sacrificed a bit of support and landed on the Blondo Valli in a wide width and a dark brown heel.

I have plantar fasciitis and these boots offer the arch support I need. The only thing I found is that they are quite heavy, so my ankles had to get used to wearing them. Overall though, they make my feet happy, and look cute, so I had no qualms keeping them.

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

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 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

I'm a big Dansko fan. These are very comfortable and I like the leather but was disappointed with overall styling so am sending back. The high contrast between the sole and the black upper was even more pronounced in person (I think it would look better with a darker sole) and the heel appeared disproportionally small/narrow for the boot. I've worn a 38 forever in Dansko clogs and my heel slipped more than usual in these. They aren't much higher than the professional clog so I plan to return to that old faithful!

Loved how these look, but they’re so wide, I walked right out of them. Wish they made something for narrow feet.

Super cute, but not as sturdy as I expected from a Dansko. I felt like I was going to twist my ankle in these, and I wear heels frequently. Also you definitely need to size up in these!

These have been my go-to fall/winter/spring boots for a few years now. I am on my feet all day at work and also live in NYC, where one walks everywhere. They were always a bit tight in the instep, but after some stretching would work. I just bought my third pair of black nubuck, and although I tried THREE different pairs, they are just too tight--primarily the left boot. May be a factory defect, but who knows? As I also just bought the taupe, and they fit well. In any case, a new alternative this season is the Max https://m.zappos.com/p/dansko-max-black-veg/product/8904878/color/59083 and I couldn't recommend them more. The style is a bit different, eg, the zipper on the outside, the heel darker, a fold-over seam in the back. Best of all, they are wider across the instep and fit me like a glove--an all-around perfect alternative to this model.

I love these booties! As with all Dansko shoes, they are super comfortable and provide great arch support.

I love the way these boots look. And usually, I have great success with Dansko styles. Not these, however. If you have a wider foot or bunions, this shoe will not work for you. Too bad, because I loved them otherwise!

I liked this boot but I didn't love it; not $180. worth of love, anyway. They were comfortable on my narrow foot with thick socks and were immediately comfortable to walk in. But something about the style didn't grab me and, unfortunately, I have an old pair of Dansko ankle boots, that are my favorite, to compare them to. The old pair is so much more stylish.

I've been wearing Dansko Pro clogs for years and wondered if the boot would be as comfortable. Since I always wear a size 7 (narrow or medium, depending on what's available), I ordered the 37 but found it oddly long. I think this is because the footbed is NOT the same as the clogs, in that it does not have the same substantial arch support; since there is less of an arch, the footbed is flattened out and the foot slides forward. That said, now that I've ordered one size down (36) it feels comfortable and not too small (which is strange...) I also like that it has a narrow fit overall. I'm going to keep the 36 and see how they do, since I'm looking for something more comfortable than my usual booties. But I find it odd that I had to order a full size below my usual.

I've been wearing Dansko clogs and sandals for fifteen years but hadn't tried the boots. I'm usually a 37 narrow (clogs) or 38 (some sandals). I bought the 37 in the Maria and though it's narrow enough around my foot, it's slightly long. My heel comes up just a little when I step. I ordered their rubber galoshes in this same order, and the size 37 galoshes fit better than these.

I have been wanting these boot for 2 years. I've had the black sent to me and have tried them on in stores over the course of this time.I've seen a couple of people wearing them around town and I just love the look. I am a size 8 and I've tried both the equivalent of the European 7 1/2 and 8. I have a very high instep so the 7 1/2 was too tight and I couldn't get them on. They 8 is a little loose, but with socks it is manageable. I get a lot of compliments, they are comfortable and I find myself wearing them almost every day. I would have bought the olive if they had been available. I've tried the black, but it seems way too dark for my taste. These are also holding up great in the rain and I can wear them with my pants rolled up or down.

Super cute boot, I love the taupe color, goes great with ankle jeans. I did find myself rolling my ankle in this boot but that may be more me than the boot's issue.

I bought these to replace the ones I bought last year. I am a chef and am oon my feet for 12+ hours a day. The first time I wore the pair from last year, I wore them for 11 hours before I had to change shoes. THat is incredible! This pair was a little different. They are ultimately a very comfortable, supportive shoe, but they are noticably more narrow in the toe box, and the first few times wearing them I was well aware I was breaking them in. They felt very tight- it was disappointing. Now they are great, and they look great with jeans, pants, skirts... you name it. So if you have the patience to break them in, get them.

Love the way they look. I wear a 8 1/2 and the 39 fits well. The top was a little tight....I had it stretched and the heels are a little loose but still comfortable. They come already scotch guarded and I've gotten several compliments. My daughter bought the same pair.

These shoes are SO comfortable! Other "booties" usually feel too narrow for my feet, but the width of these makes them great for me. The heel feels a little loose, but I think this is how Danskos are supposed to fit.

Cute and comfortable.

Super cute but too narrow. I usually do well with Dansko. I'm generally a 10 but have learned to order a little small with Dansko and these are just too tight. The length is fine.

These fit exactly like Dansko's fit. They're a bit on the wide size, but standard for this brand. My only comment is the color is a bit lighter than in the picture. I ordered the taupe and it's much more of a tan. Other than that, I'm very happy.

Love the style and comfort! I wear a size 8-1/2, so I wasn't sure which Euro size to order - got both 38 and 39. 38 was a bit snug, 39 felt big (actually they felt fine, but I thought they made my feet look huge). 38 may have worked if they were just a bit wider (and I don't have a particularly wide foot).

I was looking for a stylish bootie that I could wear all day at work- I am constantly on my feet and walking around a building the size of football field. These shoes have worked perfectly. They are extremely comfortable and my feet do not ache at the end of the day. They also style easily with skinny or boot cut jeans. The only issue I have with these shoes they rub blisters on the inside of my ankles where the zipper sits and I have to put a bandaid on every time I wear them. I hoped this problem would go away as they were broken in, but I have worn them many times and so far no luck. Still worth the purchase though, I wouldn't return them.
