Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

Took a few wears to break in, had some chafing at the ankle at first. Since then very comfortable, but I do wish there was more arch support as I've had some plantar fascia pain since starting to wear these as my primary shoe. I'm not sure if I've just gotten used to wearing danskos, but I don't turn my ankle as much as when I'm wearing the clogs. A little slippery on the ice and snow.

These booties are really stylish and sharp looking, although a bit plain. The arch support is terrific in these shoes. I thought I would be okay with the 2" heels, but it hurt my back to walk in them. I'm afraid I would turn an ankle too easily, which is a problem for me with Danskos. Another reviewer commented about the shaft height of these being a bit off for skinny jeans. I agree. Because they are so clunky looking, I didn't feel like they looked right with skinny jeans. I will continue my quest for the perfect boots for my hard-to-fit feet. Thank you, Zappos, for your gracious return policy.

Very comfortable.

I've had these booties about a week and just wore them to a 3-day conference. I like them a lot! They felt narrow at first (I have narrow feet) but I've had no problems. And the taupe color will go with anything.

I was absolutely crestfallen when I had to return these. I love the style and support so much but they were just uncomfortable! My feet are slightly wider than regular width so I often fall between a regular and a wide. My other Dansko clogs fit just fine but these pinched slightly on my pinky toes. I could have lived with that except the top cuff around the ankle is super stiff, somewhat narrow, and rubbed when I walked around my house with it. My ankles are not wide at all, in fact I'm pretty petite so I was surprised by such a narrow ankle opening. What a bummer. (Dansko, please sell these in a wide!!!)

I wanted to love this boot but I ended up returning it. My issue was the boot is a little more clunky than a pointed boot and did not pair nicely with straight and bootcut dress pants. If they would have worked with my pants I would have kept them for the comfort. One thing that was interesting to note - I got the taupe color and the black trim around the bottom edge is actually staples. For the cost you would think the staples would be somewhat straight/perfect but they are not. I wear between a size 7.5 and 8 and the 8 fit my just fine with a medium weight sock on.

Always quite pleased with Dansko. Keeping the boots. They slip a little in the heel when walking so I must wear with a sock to prevent that.

The toe area was a little too tight for me and the ankle area was a little too loose. My foot slipped out of the shoe a bit even though the length was fine. I liked the hard sole of the shoe - hard soles are more comfortable for me than very flexible soles. The heel height was a bit taller than I expected from the picture.

This is a beautiful well made shoe, but Dansko's tend to look good on small feet. They look clunky on my size 9 1/2.

I love these boots. Love them. That being said, I returned them for a couple reasons: First, I ordered the blue suede. I tried them on with multiple pairs of pants & they simply didn't look good. I didn't like the blue on blue look with denim or black, grey or brown on blue with slacks. Second, I felt like the heel looked cheap. I'm a lover of Swedish Hasbeens & their real wood soles are beautiful. I felt like this "wood" sole looked cheap. But if you go with a different color, the fit, comfort, & build are fantastic. I personally mostly wear colorful shoes (no black or brown), so for the majority of the population these shoes are an absolute must if the heel color doesn't bug you.

These shoes are great! Normally I am a 39 in Dansko shoes but I ordered these in a 38 after trying a friend's pair on. I cannot wear these with thick socks but they are prefect with tights or thinner socks. There was a break in period for me on the top of the shoe that had me worried that they were not going to work for me, but after pushing through the break in period of a few wears they are now perfect and comfortable. My only complaint is that I wear them with below the ankle socks and at the end of the day the black leather has stained a black ring around my ankle. It rubs off but it is a bit annoying. Other than that these are great booties!

This shoe is super comfy. I am a size 40 normally and this bootie feels slightly bigger in my right foot, which I haven't noticed in other shoes. They are very cute and work well with leggings, but even skinny jeans seem to be hard for me to push in to this particular length. So for jeans I have been rolling them up a bit right above the boot top.

It is a hard to describe this shoe. It looks great in the pictures and looks really good on the foot. However, the leather is quite thin compared to any other Dansko's I have worn. They also seem a bit loose compared to a typical size eight I wear. What I expected would be more substantial leather and more support and padding for the foot. I expected a softer and warmer inside. Those are not winter but rather late in the fall weather with some rain type of shoes. For cold weather I would need thick socks and I am not sure I would be able to squeeze my feet in. I think they will work best for short walks and a day at the office without a lot of walking or standing.They look great with pants either jeans or dress-up.

These are cute boots but they are too big. I have several pair of Danskos in size 37. These were at least one size too big. I even double checked the size on the inside of the boot, bottom and box because they were so big. I will try the next size down.

Really love the look and idea of these. They just didn't fit me right. I'm a reliable size 8, but need a 39 in Dansko clogs. The 38 in this boot is a bit confining, but not outright too small, the 39 is waaay too roomy, but probably ok in the length. I kept going back and forth and realize these do not fit. Too bad.

This shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wear a size 7.5 but based on a previous review, I took the comparable size and subtracted 31 and got a 39. It's too big but with a sock it fits better. The brown is a nice dark chocolate color.

I loved this boot, but although it was comfortable overall, the toe box wasn't wide enough. This was especially disappointing because Dansko is known for a wide toe box.

Love these booties! They are super comfy and they look totally adorable and are on point fashion wise. I wish they cost a little less as I would buy all the colors! The only thing I didn't know is that the heel is not wooden like the super expensive Swedish hasbeens but that's probably why they are so comfy!? The small heel gives you a nice feminine swish when you walk too!! Sassy! Only issue...I have been wearing Danskos for years always size 40 I'm a 9 9 1/2 ish and these seem a tad snug I'm not sure if I can wear with socks yet? My last two Danskos the other just a slip on clog were also snugger than past ones? Super happy with this purchase!

I found the size a bit too roomy in the toes. I'm not sure I will keep them. On a good note, they are very comfortable and light weight. I might order a smaller size. I wish Dansko would re-design their boots to be more attractive. I go for the comfort factor but sometimes the style is a bit unattractive.

Love this boot! True to size for me, but a little snug if you have wide feet! I am hoping they stretch a bit after wearing, because I don't want to give them back! Really hoping they stretch, because they are pricey! Taking a chance!

Love these booties! They feel like clogs, but have more of a style. I also love the size of the heel - not too tall, but substantial.

I have been looking for light-colored booties and was excited to see that Dansko had some. The taupe suede was very nice quality and they fit snugly as I sized down from my normal 39 to 38 (I run between an 8 and 8.5M). It is a clog bottom style like they've had for years. The dealbreaker for me is the upturned toe. After toe surgery, my feet just can't be in that upturned position for very long. If you don't have foot issues, go right ahead. It's a nicely padded footbed for a narrow to medium foot and you will enjoy them a long while.

First of all, props to Zappos for providing the best customer service ever. I ordered these in my usual size, 38. I am pretty much universally a 38 in all shoes, all the time, including my other Danskos, which all potential romantic partners can pry from my cold dead hands. I received the 38's, which were absolutely enormous, and my friend who ordered the same pair had the same experience. I just received the 37's, abd, by the way, I must reiterate that this exchange was the easiest and most pleasant exchange I've ever experienced. Seriously, Zappos, I love your customer service. However, the 37's feel tight, so maybe I'm between sizes? But I love these boots so much I don't want to give up!! Fit aside, they're extremely cute and so darn lightweight!

These are beautiful, and beautifully made. I obsessed over the taupe pair, and finally purchased. They're a lovely warm brown-grey. My normal 39/8.5 Dansko size is perfect with a pair of warm socks, but a bit roomy with tights alone. But, these boots do NOT have the same arch support I expect from Dansko shoes. If I decide to keep these, I'll need orthotic inserts.

heel slipped out of boot but cute style. Sadly, I must return them!
