Customer Reviews Dansko Helen

I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. I am able to wear these shoes all day, walking miles, and my feet feel great at the end of the day! I have them in tan and orange. They are so cute and comfortable!

I've had these shoes for a year now. They are comfortable and wear very well. I would not hesitate to recommend them or buy them again. My only complaint is that the loop of the bungee lace looks odd and you have to tuck it into the shoe to make it presentable.

I am a nurse who works 12 hour shifts-mostly on my feet and have found these to be the best nursing shoes that I have ever worn. They were comfortable right out of the box and gave me the support that I needed. I also am very happy with their style and color!

I love the look of these shoes. I was initially concerned about the width in the toe box, because I need it pretty wide, but after one wearing, my feet settled in nicely. These are really, really comfortable. Not having to tie laces is a nice bonus!

These are the most comfortable shoes right out of the box! I have a hard time finding shoes with a good arch support for walking and these are just what I need!

These are truly amazing shoes. I have been searching for comfortable, lightweight shoes for a long time. Many sneaker/hiking type shoes are either too heavy, or have little arch support. These offer great support and are flexible. They were a bit tight at first but I decided to take the plunge and wear them all day to work. I am glad that I did. My feet felt great!

First let me say that I hate, and have always hated tennis shoes. Unfortunately, they are required in some situations. Since I have always loved Dansko, I decided to give these a try. OMG they are awesome. Perfect arch support and perfect fit. The first pair I bought were black with subtle purple and gray accents - those came with both purple and gray shoelaces to suit the mood. These shoes were so incredibly comfortable that I actually found myself wearing them lots of times - not just to the gym or for my daily walks. Trust me, shocking! My husband said since I finally found a pair of tennies I liked, I should buy more in different colors since we didn't know how long this particular style would be available (forever, please, Dansko). The only other choice last year was something with bright orange (not me) so I waited. When these appeared on Zappos website I grabbed them - the lacing is adjustable elastic which is a plus for me since I just had major back surgery. Again I am absolutely thrilled with the fit. These will be my go-to walking shoe be it outside, the gym, traveling, or shopping. Simply amazing.

Love this shoe! Comfortable and stylish. Thank you Dansko and Zappos!

These shoes are the best! I had been worried about the European sizing, but the 42 was perfect (I normally wear 11 or 11.5). I stand all day on a concrete floor and my feet/ankles would ache at the end of the day. With the Danskos - no pain! Amazing. And they look stylish. Will be picking up another pair!

I bought the Helen shoe in blue. I wore it straight out of the box for a whole day and into the evening without any discomfort. Love Dansko shoes.

I have never really found a dansko shoe that has worked for me due to my high arches. With that said, these shoes fit me great! I am a physical therapist and do a lot of moving around at my job and these shoes give my feet support all day with no achy feet. I normally wear a 9 in US sizes and I did go with a 40 (European size) instead of a 39 (39 felt small). I would recommend these shoes and they look just dressy enough to wear at work.

I was looking for a pair of shoes to wear while in Italy for all the walking we will be doing and had ordered several pairs and returned several pairs. My foot has a normal arch with a narrow heel and wide forefoot. This pair of Danskos works for me. The arch is just right, the heel does not slip and it is wide enough. It was a little tight at first but the more I wear them the more they stretch. They feel like they are a part of my foot and are comfortable and sturdy enough to support me while walking the hills and streets of Italy. Also, I wear an 8½ so the 39 is just right.

The first day I got these shoes, I wore them for a ten-hour waitressing shift and my feet felt great at the end of the day - even better than they do in my professional-style Danskos! I usually wear a 38 Narrow, and in these shoes a regular 37 fit perfectly. I like the flexible sole, and the heel support is amazing. The arch support is only moderate but I found it incredibly comfortable for being on my feet all day. Plus they are very stylish for a pair of sneakers. I will suffer before I'll wear a pair of dorky sneakers in public.

Literally the best pair of shoes I have owned in years. First time mail ordered fit so well. Quality, comfort, style...all perfect.

I like these shoes a lot, the color & fit. I add a little arch support as I do to almost all my shoes and it takes it well.

Great support for problem feet. The denim blue color is perfect to wear with jeans. I prefer to avoid the nurse white sneakers.

This is a terrific little shoe! The fit is good. I wear the same size as my athletic shoes -- which tends to be a size larger than my regular shoes. The arch support is excellent. They don't offer as much overall support as athletic shoes, which I need because I have bad feet, but that may not be a problem for most people.

The Dansko Helen shoes are very comfortable, good arch support and great to walk in. I love the black with lavender laces. I have many Dansko shoes because they are so supportive and comfortable.

I love these shoes. I have a lot of problems with my feet! But these shoes are the best. I'm going to order the mocha/citrus soon.

The style is very comfortable with good arch support. That is the main reason I buy Dansko shoes. The only problem I found was when I wore cotton socks, the heel kept slipping down into the shoe. I tried several pairs of socks and concluded it was the shoe and not the sock. I felt like a little kid having to constantly pull up my socks.

A great shoe! Plenty of support with a wide enough toe box to be super comfy. Dansko knows how to make shoes for troubled feet and Zappos knows how to keep shoppers happy.

I'm on my feet all day at work and these are the most comfortable shoes I've had in a long time. They're light and bouncy and give enough support. I'm so glad Dansko started making casual shoes like this, because although I own a pair of their clogs, I don't like how they look and I also don't like the 2 inches of height they give me.
