Customer Reviews Dansko Riley

Wow! These are beautiful shoes! I loved that they are a great height not too high and not too low just right. They are very comfortable. I did have an issue where every time I took a step, the sole made a swishing sound. Only if barefoot not with sock. I knew I was going to keep them so what I did to remedy the situation was to add a thin layer of jojoba oil on my feet and let it work its way into the sole and it softened it up and the sound went away. I am currently saving my money to now purchase them in black because they are that cute!

I have the world's worst feet (wide foot, very narrow heel, bunions) so I live in flat, stretchy shoes in my free time, but I have to wear decent shoes to work. Plus, I am really short, and I love getting a few inches of height from my dress shoes. I ordered these shoes assuming I would have to send them back - but much to my surprise, they are awesome! They are comfortable, versatile, and very well made. I will be ordering more Dansko shoes.

I ordered the brown pair for my after Christmas trip to Cabo because I was looking for a closed toe sandal (wasn't feeling up to a pedicure.) Normally I wear a 37 in Dansko. Ordered these initially in a 37 but had to return and get them in a 38. The 37's were too narrow (I do have bunions.) The 38's are super comfortable and wide enough. Might be a hair too long in the length but I can deal with that. Width is more important for me. Highly recommend these stylish sandals!

These are super comfortable right out of the box with no rubbing. I like that it is less clunky and more narrow than typical Danskos. It's a very unique look. I'm still deciding if I can rock it or not.

These might be comfortable if you are used to high heels. Heel size was closer to 3.5 inches rather than the 3 listed in description. Too high for me.

I love dansko and I love these shoes. So comfortable and really cute :)

cute and can wear all day without an issue

I loved these the minute they came out of the box. Supremely comfortable, with great support and style. I've worn both with tights and barefoot, and with pants, skirts, dresses, jeans... it all works and looks cute. I like Dansko shoes for their durability and comfort and these do not disappoint. I've had for a year, worn several times a week and they still look brand new.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn!!!!

I bought the shoe in the taupe, returned it and purchased it in black months later. Could not pass these up because not many good walking shoes can do a vamp. I love them with a long skirt & short black moto jacket. :)

Nice basic shoe for jeans, dresses. It is a gray-nude color, perfect for my pale skin with bluish undertones. Comfortable, and the strap is a good length. My feet felt fine standing at a two hour party, and while that may not seem like high praise, my feet typically hurt in non-athletic shoes after 30 minutes. I love them!

Loved this shoe! Looks are deceiving because height was comfortable with platform sole. Insole was also soft, with great cushioning, and arch support. Made for a good walking shoe. Sized up as was suggested by previous reviewers. Style allows for ample room in toebox. I got a wide width, so there was no cramping, or jamming of toes when I walked. Fit was perfect!

I have to agree with most of the reviews of these wonderful pair! I don't usually wear platform shoes like these let alone 3" heels. I figured I would give them a go since they are Dansko. Out of the box, the color was as expected, I love the taupe. I put it on right away and off the bat I told my sister, verbatim, "these feel like slippers". They're not clunky at all despite their look. These will definitely be one of my go-to pairs! Please give them a try if you are thinking of trying them out.

Wow, what a great shoe! Super comfy and looks great with just about anything and any color! The sizing is right on, with plenty of toe room. The platform makes for nice height without the pressure on your feet. Well done Dansko.

Wow wow wow wow wow!!! Just received them. I put them on to try and I cannot believe how soft yet supportive they are. I didn't feel like I was wearing a pair of 3.5" heels but instead I felt like I was wearing flats! I read another reviewer saying she did a 16 hour shift in these puppies and now I believe why she did that because of how comfortable they are. I'd say they're true to size. I usually wear 7.5 in heels but 8 in sneakers. So I bought size 38 and they fit well. I might end up buying the black pair too :P

I cannot believe how comfortable these are! I am a teacher and I wear them all day, almost every day! They look great with a skirt or pants - the heel height is generous and they do not look clunky.

Love this shoe! So comfy, and fits perfect. Nice color goes with anything. I'm usually an 8, and size 38 was perfect.

Wow. Fantastic straight out of the box. I didn't need break-in time and it was a good fit for my extra wide feet. The platform and heel give me a nice boost without feeling like a high heel.

I love this shoe. I have been looking for a cute shoe with comfort and a heel because I am so short. I can stand for long periods of time with out giving my feet a second thought. I have wide feet with bunions, sounds ugly but good for squashing grapes. I am part Italian, so I can say it. This shoe is soooo comfy. I have another pair in my cart so I can buy immediately when I get paid. If your sitting on the fence, don't be. With the return policy you can't go wrong. Pricing is perfect for a great working shoe. However you won't be returning you will be singing, "I am so happy"!

First off, I am a Dansko fan! I ordered these and am so pleased that I did. The fit is great. They are so stylish, and are versatile enough that you could dress them up with a skirt or dress casual and wear with pants or jeans. The heel height is just right for me. And, they have that classic Dansko comfortable wear. I liked them so much, I ordered them in another color as well.

The 1st pair I received I had to return because the strap/screws on the right shoe came out. Returned and replaced no hassle, superb customer service! They are the perfect length but snug around the width so I only wear with knee high stockings. They are comfy despite the snugness in the width and I love the height and thickness of the shoe. They look cute with everything from jeans to dresses.

Wonderful twist on the standard dansko. I love the heel. I love the slightly more narrow silhouette. I'm a 9.5/10 and the 40s fit perfectly. No rubbing. No pain at all. Awesome.

As a general rule, I am not into clogs/comfort shoes; however, a knee injury has forced me to explore this world. These are comfortable right out of the box, absorb all the impact of walking on city streets, and are actually quite cute. A random stranger complimented me on them the other day. Only 1 negative: they're a bit noisy. They flip flop in the heel a bit when you walk, and the sound of the footbed losing contact with my skin makes a subtle sticking sound. Not a deal breaker for me, but could be an issue for others.

These are great shoes! So much style...kind of Euro look and very comfortable considering the heel height. They run true to size...not as wide as the typical Dansko clog. I have a pair of Stuart Wietzman that were much more expensive and kill my feet every time I try to wear them...I am sticking to European made shoes...what is with American shoe designers? Are they forgetting that we actually put our feet in these?! It is so surprising that the Dutch can make a shoe with a heel made of wood and it feels better that most everything we buy here in the US including some running shoes! Definitely give these a try...a little more of a sticker shock, but I know that I will wear these for many years! Great quality.

I bought the brown Dansko Rileys for work. I love them because they look great with dress pants and for a higher shoe they are very comfortable. I ended up buying the black too.
