I wear an 11 1/2 but appreciate that fact that the combination of black color and the style actually make my feet look smaller and just right with my 6 foot frame. I wear a Birkenstock half sole insert in these shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and it works great.

I normally wear an 8 US or 38 or even 39 in European sizes, but in this shoe I ordered the 37, and the fit is perfect. This is my second pair. I don't know how long it took to wear the toe panels off, but at least a couple of years of daily walking. The rest of the shoe was still in great shape, but once the toe panels lose their skin, the shoes lost their waterproof quality. I would still recommend them and I will still be buying them as the comfort and quality is unbeatable.

They are very comfortable and kept my feet dry on frosty grass during dog walks. Just what I was looking for!

I have trouble buying shoes... but I've got several Dansko clogs so thought I would take a chance on the tennis shoes. I received them, put them on, went golfing and was thrilled that my feet were fine after 18 holes of golf. AWESOME!!!

I feel awesome wearing these Dansko sneakers. I shopped two days ago in my OLD sneakers with 410 arch support, and had to stop early due to foot and toe pain! I wore this Dansko shoe around the house for several days to be sure it didn't hurt my feet. I decided to give them a try for shopping. Even thoug my feet were hurting from the previous day from my old shoes, I had no foot pain at all while wearing this Dansko Paisley shoe! They even soothed my metatarsalgia (toe pain). Since I wear a 7 1/2 it is very roomy. I have a wide foot, yet a small heel, so I did put heel pads in them. I have two pair now and will get another pair to wear around the house, when more become available in my size.

These are great shoes from Dansko. I wore them for hours straight out of the box with no problem. I work in a warehouse with concrete floors and a lot of walking and standing and my feet and arches and knees don't hurt after a full day of work when I am wearing these shoes. They also do well on moderate trails with dirt and gravel and small rocks. They clean up easily with a soft bristle brush and a damp cloth.

Perfect fit for 7.5. Sole is not too stiff so I can also wear them to run errands. Very good-looking shoe. Shoelaces stay tied.

My ankles feel really steady in these shoes, without also sacrificing comfort. I have RA and my cute comfy tennies no longer work for me. Maybe the best pair of sturdy tennis shoes I’ve ever worn, comfort-wise. Won’t be going back to Taos so I hope Dansko has some plans to bring this shoe in fun colors. I’m a solid 8.5 with slightly wider feet, so 39 fit me perfect.

I love these shoes. I wear size 41 (10.5-11) and they make might feet look small. I can also wear them with my bulky orthotics. I am a very large woman and these provide great support.

I have chronic achilles tendonitits and looking for a shoe that will hug the back of my foot and give stability. I've tried so many already. I am a lover of Danskos but the clogs are not cutting it now. I love the support the Paisley provides to the back of my foot. I'm keeping them but still trying to find the perfect shoe to support me being on my feet at work as a nurse practitioner.

Little bit of extra toe room, since I usually wear 7 1/2, but otherwise fits fine. Width fine and a little adjustable, since the shoelaces go lower than some sneakers. Excellent arch support and soft feel. I wanted the navy, but it was sold out, so I got the black. This color looks a little dressier than some sneakers, and they feel great right out of the box. Since I wanted a nice sneaker to do errands and run around town, this will be perfect for me.

I have worn Dansko’s for years. I have a very high arch so I actually removed the insoles and used my custom orthotics, the toe box is roomy which adds to the comfort of these shoes. They are sturdy, flexible, and very stylish. I usually wear size 8 US so the 38’s were perfect. The black are suede-like so a bit more fancy than normal sneakers. I will love these until we both give out.

I love these shoes. They fit well, are extremely comfortable, have good support and look good. I was concerned that they might be heavy but they are not. I wear an Xtern brace on one foot and the clip to hold the brace laced into the shoe perfectly. I'm going to Europe soon and this will be my main walking shoe.

I love these shoes for their comfort. WOW...They do look a little like orthopedic shoes but better than wearing my sneakers with a dress to work. These are practical and they still look nice at the office. BUT their BEST feature is their comfort and support for my tired feet!

I'm a size 7 1/2 and this was only available in a 7.5-8 but I decided to try it. Basically, it was too big and the arch was in the wrong place . But once I put an insole in it, it felt quite good. I've worn it for long walks and it's a sturdy, comfortable and handsome shoe.

Dansko really knows what they’re doing! These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I have a very hard time finding shoes that are comfortable and I could walk and walk in these right out of the box! I also wear a 10 and the style is so cute they make my feet look small! The design is super cute, I can see myself being happy with these for a long time.

These shoes are really comfortable and are very easy to walk quickly in - good for work, around town or on a trail if needed. They are even more comfortable than sneakers and also have more support.
