Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

Wow. I’ve been wearing running shoes to work for years, clogs never worked well for me. These shoes are like a hybrid and my legs and back feel so much better after being on my feet for a shift

I wanted a winter shoe for walking in town. This shoe in a wide width has plenty of toe box room. An added plus is the sole design - I get a nice rocker action which protects from shin splints and makes walking a real pleasure. On the foot, they seem quite light weight. I am using my own orthodontics which give nice arch support. However, it is high sided and fairly high where the tongue meets my ankle. This meant careful selection of socks for padding and protection. However, the high sides give me nice stability (protection from turning my ankle when I step on a rock).

I own 3 pairs of these shoes in different colors. The sage color is great for fall. Very supportive shoes and allow for my custom orthotics. Nice wider tie box.

So far so good! Good quality and very true to size.

Top quality shoe. It was just a bit too long for my feet, which are size 6.5 in closed shoes and 6 in open shoes.

I'm a 39 in most all European sized shoes, and this was no exception. I prefer these to the clogs because with laces, I can get the shoes just the right "tightness" (if that's even a word!). I normally wear orthotics in my shoes, but not with these - the support is lovely just as is, and softer than my orthotics. This is my second pair. I live in CA, so the waterproof issue isn't a big one for me. Love them!

Perfect fit right out of the box. Very comfortable and good support.

This is my second pair of Dansko Paisley and I love them! I could wear them for short times with the inserts that come with the shoes but they are even better with my custom orthotics. I’m a florist and stand all day. These have provided the support I need and have helped keep me from having a plantar fasciitis flair up. Such a relief. I also wear these when I walk or hike so being water proof is a bonus. I only wish they also came in white.

This is the second pair of the Dansko Paisley I've purchased. Very conforable, even right out ot the box.

Happy with my purchase of the Dansko Paisley. These shoes are true to size and width in size 10M. I think the styling of this shoes makes it look smaller than it actually is. When I first opened the box and took out the shoes, I thought I’d accidentally ordered the WIDE, but after removing all the interior stuffing, both shoes thankfully returned to normal width and I happily wore them for several hours with no problems - and no added insoles.

Nice shoe. Was more 'tennis shoe' looking than I ended up wanting

I have a neuroma between my toes on my left foot, and it is difficult to find shoes that give my toes enough space to move around. I usually wear Dansko for work as they allow for this space, but I did not think their quality could extend to an athletic shoe; boy was I wrong! These shoes are like walking on pillows, and they are supportive without being too tight. I LOVE them!! I wear size 9 1/2 and my feet are a tad narrow. I ordered a size 40, and they fit perfectly!

I ordered this shoe and the Clarks Wave. The Dansko had the superior arch support so I returned the Clarks.

I have a wide foot (ball of foot and toes), so I ordered both the regular width and wide width to compare before deciding on the best fit. Surprisingly, the wide is too wide for my entire foot (even in thicker socks). I ended up keeping the regular width. Perhaps if the entire length of your foot is wide, these will work for you. The rounded toe bed of the shoe made the regular width wide enough for me. Haven't worn them outside yet. I'm hoping the sole and cushion in the sole will be comfortable enough (and not slippery when it rains) for our cobblestone streets.

3rd pair of these Danskos, I love them so much! They fit my orthodics well, break-in period is practically nil, and provide great ball-of-foot/metatarsal support. I've been waiting for these to come out in a dark grey. Already have the black and sand colors. Been wearing these shoes for several years, and they're just as supportive as they were when new. I go back and forth on them being waterproof--it's great when you need it, but the shoes do run warm for me as a result of them being waterproof (not as breathable). Wearing thin, synthetic socks does help.

I’ve been having all kinds of foot, ankle, knee issues and these shoes are so comfortable. They have good arch support and the footbed is cushioned. I can walk in these all day without discomfort. My only complaint is that they are a bit hot (due to suede/waterproof material. I’m hoping Dansko will offer up a perforated version that’s a bit color for summer. I normally wear either a euro 39 or 40. I went with the 40 and it fit perfectly. Originally bought the red and it’s a beautiful color. Just ordered a second pair in black.

The shoe tongue was rigid and rubbed my ankle. Otherwise would have kept the the pair.

These shoes are incredibly versatile and extremely comfy! I have a high arch and a high instep and they had to give me enough support I do not have to wear my Arch supports. I’m awaiting knee surgery and these shoes really make me feel much more stable on my feet. Before I wore brooks athletic shoes, but now I highly recommend dansko for all the styles they make, especially THESE SHOES! I get lots of compliments on the shoes-the only thing I would change is to give them some colorful laces; now that I’m no longer working in law-enforcement. I’m a size 12

They fit perfect! I was so happy as I have moose feet. They look cute on, too! BUT...after wearing them my ankles don't like the pain. I can hardly stand up after wearing them. I've tried traditional Dansko's and they didn't work. I thought this different style would be more forgiving. So, if you wear Danskos you're going to love them. I'm unfortunately not one of the people that can wear them.

I love these shoes, this is my 2nd pair. I have a narrow heel and a wide fore foot (so my podiatrist says) and these are great! I'm a 7 1/2 - 8. I tried both the 38 and a 39 and the size 38 fits best. I wear an orthotic and take the factory insole out of the shoe to fit it and it works just fine. They are sporty but look better than an athletic trainer. I wear them for long walks and hikes and find them very comfortable. I tried similar Dansko (Peggy model )shoes with "D" ring eyelets and came back to this shoe with regular, round eyelets. The D rings twist and slip, the round eyelets are more secure and solid on my feet.

These Dansko shoes are a perfect fit for me and provide great support. My feet feel great after wearing them all day. A great looking sneaker shoe for the casual work place.

My third pair of Paisley in three years - different color. I had ordered other styles to try, and each had some problem. I have one foot with a bunion as well as bone spurs. Paisley accommodates all issues. I'm glad I have at least these I can rely on. I was hoping to find a dressier, no heel style with very good arch support - no luck. Big thank you to Zappos to facilitate my search.

I have been wearing Dansko shoes/clogs for almost 20 years. I am on my feet at least 8 hours a day. These shoes are the best. My feet never hurt, neither my legs or back. I hope that everyone who purchases these shoes love them as much as I.

These shoes are extraordinary. How Dansko combines supreme support with adequate cushioning is a mystery to me, but surely a miracle of engineering. This is my second pair of these shoes and I am now convinced that I cannot live without them. Many times I find shoes that provide either support OR cushioning, but not a perfect pairing of both - until this shoe. That Vibram sole is the key. It provides FIRM cushioning, not squishy. There is a difference! I highly recommend these shoes to anyone needing support AND cushioning. I got the red pair - so cute. Very happy feet today, thank you Dansko!

True to size and width. I wear a 7 1/2 MED and I ordered a 38 med.
