Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

Very narrow. Not at all like my other danskos.

So, I am a HUGE Dansko fan and currently have 7-8 pair in my rotation. I always wear 42 in closed toe Danskos, and 43 in Dansko sandals as I have very flat feet. I have been wearing the gray suede Marias for a year and a half and they are ridiculously comfortable. Unfortunately, they are not stain-treated and look terrible after all of the wear... Cleaning with suede cleaner has been a waste of time. I thought I'd try the black leather Dansko boots this time around. I ordered my usual size of 42 (I wear an 11 in American sizes.) These boots are RIDICULOUSLY tight around the bridges of my feet. I am a B width and have NEVER tried on a shoe or boot that was tight in that area. The tightness over the bridge puts pressure on the bottom of my feet too. I have read other reviews that mention the stretching over time, so that is the reason I have kept them. So far, I've worn them to work for about 8 hours a dozen times(alternating other shoes in between.) I am currently wearing them and my feet are completely numb. I'm pretty disappointed and rather weary about this experience with the Dansko fit. How did the fit change so much between the Maria boots in the same size?? There's no larger size for me to try... They are a GORGEOUS boot and I get loads of compliments on them. Unfortunately, wearing these boots come at the cost of constant agony. :(

These boots are so cute and stylish. But not comfortable. I work in retail, on my feet 9 hours a day and by hour 6 my feet and legs are aching. I have narrow feet and when I take them off after a long day, my toes are misshapen. They would probably work for a few hours at a time or if you don't need to be on your feet constantly. I'm so curious about the 5 star reviews that say they are on their feet or walk a lot -- these shoes are really not good for me for those activities. Everyone's foot is different, so maybe they'll work for you. They are so cute, but I bought them for work - I was hoping for comfort and style. For reference, I wear the Dansko Professional clogs to work all the time and no problem. The toe box on this is just too narrow to keep my foot healthy.

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!

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.

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.

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'm size 6 on wider side. Purchased a 36 and 37, the 36 was painfully narrow which has never been an issue for me with Danskos, and 37 was still narrow and too long. Re-purchased same sizes from a different site to compare since Danskos vary so much between even same size shoe. 36 the best fit although still narrow, I loved them enough to have them stretched. Left shoe feels great, right may need to be re-stretched but I'm "getting there" with these shoes and after a few more of wears I know they will be great. Aside from the obvious width issue, overall comfort and heel height are spot on for a casual yet pulled together look.

These shoes are insanely cute-- and I was so sad that they hurt my feet! I tried two different sizes, to no avail. The bottoms of my feet hurt when wearing them. I have several Dansko sandals that I love and are super comfy, but somehow the soles of these just hurt! I'm so sad, I really wanted to keep them!!

These are very cool shoes but they are heavy, I felt like I was wearing weights on my feet. They also make my size 8 foot look even larger. Love the color though

Had high hopes for these booties as so many people rave about Danskos! I am in between sizes so ordered up as suggested and yes there is definitely wiggle room toward to toes but nothing thick socks couldn’t fix. Unfortunately, thick or thin socks made one foot super tight, and the other foot quite snug. My feet are not wide but not narrow either. So sad! Got these at a great sale price too.

Only 3 stars because sizing is so off for me. I wear 9.5 shoe so in between sizes for Dansko. In Dansko have been happy with 40 in clogs. These were huge in 40 I could walk out of them, went with 39 they arrived and they are very tight. Currently wearing around house and noticing they are starting to form to my feet and be more comfortable. Doing this after reviews I have read said to give them break in period, using thin socks.

I so wanted to love these booties! So cute, and friends have told me they can walk for days in them. Top of boot is too loose for me, and I'm stepping out of them.

I have been a Dansko clog wearer for several years. This is my first foray into trying the Dansko boot, and I started with the Maria. They are very cute, and I love the rounded. I am a true size 36 in Dansko clogs, and so that is the size I ordered. I could not get my foot into the boot, no way. My feet are on the wide side, but my arch is not unusually high. The top of the boot is very stiff leather, no give at all, and the zipper did not open wide enough to allow me to move my foot into the foot bed. Sadly, these must go back.

Love these boots, super cute. The sizing on some Dansko shoes is off. These are supposed to fit a US 5.5-6, however they are a full size too big. Sad to return. Dansko, please make more of your shoes in size 35, which, in Dansko sizing, is women's US 4-5.

This ran snug for me. I usually wear a 39 (wide) in Danskos, but this style felt snug to me. Love the look and the style, but sadly, they are going back.

I have been drooling over a pair of clog boots for a while, but these missed the mark. The toe box is narrow, but the heel is wide AND they run a bit large, so my foot was sliding around in them very uncomfortably in mid-weight wool socks. The shaft is a few inches shorter than needed to tuck pants in, and the printed wood grain on the sole looks cheap. I returned and ordered a pair of Magubas.

Oh how I wanted to love these! They are super cute. I wear Danskos 4 days a week & love them and my feet love them. However, these do not fit the same, they are tighter and slightly higher than the clog. I almost kept them but then decided for 170 I should love them.

I bought these in black, size 37. They fit perfectly but I didn't like how dark they were. (I know: I ordered blackâ??what was I expecting?) so I ordered the taupe color. This shoe feels like a totally different style. Very, very tight in the toe and instep--not all like the black pair. Maybe the black pair I received were pre-worn, and already stretched? I don't know; it's weird. But I can't keep these and I'm afraid to size up because the heel will be too wide. I love the shoes but it's a conundrum. The two lasts don't seem to be the same size

I loved the boot but it was too narrow and I did not want to go up a size since I had plenty of room in the toe area.

Bought these thinking they would be as great as my Dansko clogs and they look great but are not as comfy for long days on my feet. Fine for short days but can't do a 8 hour shift in them. I work retail and was hoping to replace my clogs with a cuter version. Bummed.

Color was great, and the boot was very cute -- but super uncomfortable. The "m" line of Dansko shoes this year has a very different footbed... For those of us used to their clogs, it's quite a change. Unfortunately, one I can't wear at all.

I have narrow feet and these were hugging the sides of my feet. Also were at least a half size too small compared to other Danskos. Could not wear socks with them. Had to return

I typically like Dansko boots. Although these are beautiful boots and roomy, there soles were too stiff, making my heels slip up as I walked. Perhaps they were too big, but I think that the stiff soles don't work for this design.

The Swedish Hasbeens didn't fit these mostly did but not as edgy and industrial looking or as tall.
