These shoes are true to size, the arch support are great. The thong piece between my toes was a little stiff so I'm sure it would of gotten better with wear.

Sooo bummed! After falling completely in love with Dansko's suede-lined, high-arched, full leather, cork-soled sandals line (e.g., Vera, Vivian), I took a chance on this style, despite some of the reviews indicating it might be risky. Should've heeded the other reviewers' advice -- the vamp was really narrow; couldn't even get it on. Back they go. Disappointed!

Love these sandals! They are beautiful and are great for casual or dress. The only reason that I didn't give these 5 stars is because they are a little tight in instep.

Not quite the Danso comfort I was hoping for, but close. Arch and heel support are great, I have a high instep and strap accommodated. The toe box area seems unusually long - maybe I just have short toes but I've read other reviews of same complaint. Sizing down would not have solved issue because arch and heel fit perfectly in shoe. Also would love to have a bit of a gripper/ridge part for right under base of toe that some shoes like this have. Otherwise, these are cute and wore them last night with simple cropped jeans and a linen top and they really finished off the casual outfit nicely.

I love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable and the sole is very durable. I have plantar fasciitis, and they are the few shoes that support my feet and reduce the pain. My only issue is the gems started falling off after two weeks.

I can wear flip flops year round in AZ so I needed something stylish and comfortable. I am very happy with these shoes.

Beautiful shoe. I have some neuropathy though and the edges of the upper thong were not completely smooth and in a short time started to irritate. It is not a delicate shoe and feels a bit clunky like most cork sole shoes

I bought the taupe and they are gorgeous comfort sandals with some flair. They did fit true to my European size. This is my first pair of Dansko I have purchased. They are an easy slip on, cute shoe that is comfortable but a few things: The toe guard is a bit thick so you do feel it between the toes but it's not bad and is completely manageable but wish it was a bit softer and less noticeable. The shoe provides arch support and the interior foot bedding is suede and soft. I walked around in these in town on flat sidewalks for several hours and they are not as comfortable as some shoes. My feet were a bit tired at the end of my wear. If you have worn Fit Flops they are not soft, spongy and bouncy like those in which your feet never get fatigue however they are a nice cut than the boxier Fit Flops but I give it to FF for long wear comfort. Also I found they now make these in China so that may contribute to some of the quality issues mentioned in reviews. I am disappointed to see so many comfort brands now made in China and yet the price is the same or more and the quality isn't as good as it once was. Overall these are very cute, a step up from a flip flop sandal and comfy for sure but for long periods of wear not as comfy as Fit Flop brand (just for comparison's sake).

I love Dansko thong sandals and have at least 4 or 5 pairs now. The Dansko Pamela's are a bit stiffer than the ones that are made of a rubberized material and the toe thong piece is a bit stiff as well but will most likely loosen with wear. I purchased the taupe pair which will go with anything and everything in my closet. The bead work is beautiful. Try them out, Zappos has the absolute best return policy.

Have been looking for a flip flop with style,a little bling, but mostly comfort and support. These seemed to fit the bill; however, the portion over the arch of my foot was tight enough that my foot couldn't slip in all the way and I kept walking out the back of the sandal. I did so want these to work as all my other Dansko sandals are so comfortable...unfortunate that these had to be returned.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Hmm, the love the idea and concept for this shoe, sadly I had a hard time getting past the colors and tones used together. The beading is beautiful and dresses up this thong, but the pewter beading is placed on tan suede and the cork foot bed is on a greenish/tannish/grayish layer and that is on top of the black sole. It just doesn't work for me. I was hoping the colors on my monitor were off, but alas they were not. The comfort of this shoe is splendid and the vamp is just a little snug on my higher than normal instep, totally doable for me. I would have loved to have kept them, but I just couldn't get past the above mentioned issue.

Beautiful sandal in the photo. Not so good looking on my feet. The tapered toe area of the foot bed does not fit the shape of my foot. The side of my big toe hangs off the sole. I love wearing my several pair of Dansko Clogs in the Fall and Winter (Professional model). I am disappointed in Dansko sandals. This must be returned.

The color and beading work is beautiful on this shoe. However the shoe instep is very large. This would be a great shoe for someone with a high instep. You also consider ordering a 1/2 size larger as the length is a bit short.

Adorable sandal, but it's going back. Too much "wiggle room" so not enough support. Can't justify the price tag if I don't love them. As always, Zappos is THE BEST! Can't say enough good things about this company :)

These are very cute thongs but ill fitting on my feet. I usually wear a 38 but these did not fit properly. They were too short on the heel footbed and too much room from the front/toes after inserting my toes through the thong. So sorry as they are being returned. I ordered the taupe and they are nicely beaded and look great. I am very disappointed.

I am a size 10... I got the 10.5-11 shoe and it was sadly too narrow. I don't have a "wide" foot. I have a regular foot MAYBE a little wider than normal, but I have never bought wide shoes. I really wanted these to fit. I just couldn't even get my foot all the way in them to stretch them. If I could have gotten them on I know they would have been comfy. They are really really nice looking.

Would love to have kept these as they are really pretty. However the piece of leather that fits between your toes rubbed painfully. I have a wider foot and high arch so they might be better for someone who does not have these issues.

Super cute, but not even close to fitting me. I ordered a 38 and 39. Couldn't get my foot in either, the instep was way too tight. Agree with others about the extra toe room as well. One thing to point out is that the material is more of a suede, if that matters to you. I know Danskos makes an adjustable black flip flop, will have to go with that!

Should have listened to the other reviews...love these shoes but by the time I got them large enough in length (had to go up one size from my normal Dasko size), they were too loose around the toe area and caused them to slip and rub between my toes. Sadly, I am returning them.

I am torn. I love the style of these Dansko sandals and the arch support. However, I am having difficulty in breaking-Zion this pair, the leather has rubbed a bad blister on one of my left toes. I am attempting to let the toe heal, and then attempt wearing them again. This process often works for me. The leather softens and my toes toughen...leading to comfortable sandals in the long-term. Today, they are very cute, but are uncomfortable. Looking forward to a quick break-in period.

I love the look of these and the comfort but the leather above the toe separator rubbed the tops of my toes raw. I am so disappointed. I love all my Danskos...but can't wear them if I want to keep my toes.
