Customer Reviews Dansko Maisie

So pretty. And squeaky. And not Dansko's famous insole/arch support. I called Dansko and found out that not all their lines have the built in orthotic we have come to know and love. This model is one that does not. It is a gorgeous color (blue) and looks fantastic but doesn't have that "stand-on-me-all-day" Dansko insole.

I am a die-hard Dansko fan and wear as size 35. It seems that Dansko has changed the platform and increased the size of the shoe almost 1/2". So now their shoes do not fit well anymore. The arch is also less than it used to be. Sadly I won't be buying Dansko 35's anymore! :(

Dansko is usually a safe bet for me, so I was very surprised that these shoes have a major manufacturing flaw. The ankle strap is way too short, at least in the size 42 that I tried. So short, that it's not my ankles - but certainly the shoes. Guess they wanted to save some money by cutting the leather strap too short. It's as if the strap was not adjusted in length to correspond to the size of the shoe. It's a size 34 strap on a size 42 shoe. I've encountered this before and it always makes we wonder, when I look at the shoe with the strap closed on the smallest setting - who the heck has a foot/ankle shaped like that? It's a shame, because otherwise I would have kept these shoes and loved them.
