Customer Reviews Dansko Maria

I want these boots so badly and they just don't work for me - so sad! I'm usually a 9.5 or 10 or a 41 in traditional Dansko clogs, but am finding my big toe crowded in the 40, and my heel pulling out of the boot in a 41. Only with very thick socks can the larger size work for me, and I'd like to be able to wear barefoot or with tights most of the time.

I cannot recommend these shoes, despite having worn Dansko brand shoes for many years. After wearing them a few days in a row over the past weeks, I am had significant knee, hip, and back issues; I stopped wearing them and have mostly recovered. While they are cute, they are uncomfortable and wearing them for any amount of time results in a totally mis-aligned body (likely due to the structure of the shoe). Very unfortunate...these were quite expensive and I regret purchasing them.

I have wide feet with high arches and simply could not get my left foot into the boot. Tried up two sizes in the store and still couldn't get it in. Opening is just not big enough. Danskos usually feel like they are made for my feet but not this time. Right foot in the boot felt narrower than usual.

Let me state that I am a huge fan of Danskos and generally find that most styles fit me pretty consistently. With this pair of boots, however, I was disappointed in a couple of ways. First, even with the side zipper, it was difficult to get the boot over my arch and I kept getting hung up on the plastic piece inside the heel. Once I did actually get the boots on, they fit rather tight across the toe box, but loose behind the heel. If you are used to the fit of the clogs, this boot will disappoint. And, ultimately, I didn't think this boot was as cute in person as on the website - it was strangely clunky looking on my foot.

Super sad! One of the shoes was defective. Footbed glue was all messed up and unwearable.

These shoes were way too heavy. They each weigh almost a pound!

The boot was not comfortable, too heavy & clunky & hurt my ankles

I love Dansko shoes but having a narrow foot makes it really, really hard to buy anything other than the professional clogs that come in a narrow width. I usually wear a 41 narrow in Dansko so decided to try the 40. They were too small and I can tell I will be swimming in a 41. Too bad. This is the third pair of Dansko shoes or boots (not clogs) that I have had to send back in the past couple of years. I think I am giving up if Dansko won’t carry narrow widths in anything other than the clogs. These are going back.

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.

Very pretty shoe but the fit was way too narrow. I couldn't get my foot into it either. I've worn Danskos for years and know what European size I am,and these shoes are just not comfortable. Regretfully, I'm sending them back.

Great product, however only one star for overall because Zappos sent me two DIFFERENT sized shoes. I love these boots and have owned them before. Just super annoying that I have to go through the trouble of returning them on their error.

This boot is sadly not nearly as wide as the Dansko XP or their other clogs.

these were cute but the insole on one of the clogs was an inch shorter than the other. Your toes would hang awkwardly over the ledge of the insole. I had to return them because of it.

I would probably own 15+ pair of Danskos if you all would just make them in size 43.

I have bought these boots before from a store. I am an 8½ shoe size but all they had was the EU 40 a little big but with in soles and thick socks they worked great. So this time I ordered the 39 thinking it would be a better fit. I could not even get my feet into them. I felt like one of the ugly sisters with the glass slipper. I am so disappointed because my previous pair saved my feet and legs and I spend a lot of time on them. I have returned them and may try shopping at the store again. If not I will try the larger size and hope for the best. I am disappointed!

I have three other pairs of Dansko size 36, and these boots are much bigger than my other pairs--so much so that I had to check to see if the right size was sent (and it was). I wear a 5.5 and the 36 felt like I was trying on a 6.5 or 7. From this experience, I would recommend to order a size down, but there is no size down for us 36-ers.

These booties were disappointing and will be returned. They run large. I wear a 7.5 and ordered a 38 but was swimming in it. The bootie is super clunky, especially around the toe.
