Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

I work in a medical office and wear Dansko clogs. When I saw these, I knew I had to have them! These are so awesome. I had surgery on one foot and always have always had issues with my arch support area. The length is perfect and of course has great arch support. The best is these lace up so they are more secure on your foot rather than the regular clog which you can easily kick off. The heel has the nice cut out so heel to toe gait is more natural. I’m going to get another pair for work. Love love love!

The shoes are true to size and width. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse standing and walking on concrete and these shoes have helped my feet and legs feel much better. They are very well made and support your feet. The suede uppers give flexibility to the toes through the day. (I've had other shoes that are firm leather without give and by the end of the day my toes are killing me!) They also have the rubber protection for the toes helping them to hold up better especially when you use your toes to lock and unlock brakes on machines. I am very happy with them!

I love these. They are very comfortable, and supportive. I’m an RN, and I’ve tried the dansko clogs everyone else seems to love, but those have never been comfortable for me, at the end of a shift I had hip pain, and rolling an ankle in those, ...ow! I’ve bought two pairs of these, the black and the blue, I can wear them for 12+ hours no problem. With scrubs they look like a cute, rugged sneaker. They’d be good walking shoes, but style wise, I don’t think I’d wear them other than for work or taking a walk. Going to get another backup pair, just in case :)

I was looking for a good walking/moderate hiking shoe, but one that looked more like a sneaker. I've never liked the Dansko style (not a clog fan), but these came highly recommended. All I can say is, "Wow! " I put them to the test for a 3 mile walk right out of the box, and they were superb. No blisters, no need to break them in. These will be the shoes I take on my next trip!

These are great for me. The Dansko clog are a bit too high for me, I sprained my ankle when I misstepped in them, the clog also put more pressure onto my toes causing ingrown toenails. These Paisley are perfect! No heel, propel me forward like the clog and roomy toe box! *The laces keep coming untied- but Dansko just needs to practice that*I just double knot them. I have found an awesome new shoe style! Love the Dansko Paisley!!! Comfort and casual! Thank you

Fantastic shoes - I wear an 8 1/2 and the 39 was a really good fit!! Good arch support and nice wide toe box make my feet really comfy - I got the blue and am very satisfied with the color. Love Dansko and have quite a few pairs (my husband just doesn't understand!!!)

Love these shoes! As others have stated, I found they required no breakin period and are extremely comfortable. I have wide feet and high insteps, but even those areas were non-issues. Love the style, well made and intended to purchase another pair in a different color.

I bought this a size larger than I usually do so that a cushioned sock would comfortably fit. I also use a New Balance orthotic with strong arch support (1220, plush postural). This combination has given me the best pronation support, and I can walk long distances without raising a blister! The shoe is actually kind of cute, not as clunky as many Dankso can be. I highly recommend this show for someone with foot pain issues, particularly if you have fallen arches.

Love this shoe style! I have it in 2 other colors and get many compliments. I have worked many long days in these and have taken them on overseas vacations. They are a great alternative to light weight hikers or running shoes. (It is important to note that I have flat feet.)

I purchased this in a 37 which is what I wear in my Dansko clogs. They fit well and had plenty of room in the toe box. I tend to run between regular and wide widths and the regular in the Paisley fits very well. I have worn them with wool and "regular" socks and have had no problem with either. They were a bit stiff in the heel and the tongue does seem a bit short as mentioned in other reviews but have softened over the last 3 weeks of wear. They are soft in the heel so they are comfortable to walk it, however they're almost too soft for me and the arch support doesn't seem to be as substantial as in the Dansko clogs and sandals I have. My sciatica flared a bit after walking in the Paisleys for 2 days to break them in but since then I haven't had any issue. They keep my feet warm and dry but I haven't stepped in any big puddles to test their water resistance. If you are considering these, have read a bunch of the reviews like I did go ahead and order them and try them out, Zappos return policy is so great so when I wonder if I should spend a lot money on a pair of shoes I don't hesitate to order through Zappos knowing that if they don't fit/feel right I can return them.

Great shoes out of the box. I have another pair in black, so I know the size would fit me perfectly.

I bought the for my shoes at work I’m a nurse and love the clogs other then the heel a little high and I twist my ankle sometimes so thought I would try these. I love them so comfortable and the arch support I expect from dansko. Almost want to keep them at home for every day wear.

I went up a half size based on recommendations and glad I did. These were recommended to me for my overpronation. They definitely have helped. They keep my foot firmly in place without rolling as they usually do. Very comfortable and I’m able to wear them to work and them look nice with business attire.

Perfect out of the box! I own another same pair in Black so it was easy to order same size.

I have been searching for something to help ease my planters fasciitis, and this shoe is a winner! Wonderful support in the heal. I’m going on long walks again without pain. The only negative is that until they were broken in, I had some rubbing on the back of one ankle. It was worth it to work through that. I was disappointed that only the tan color was available, but they look much better than what the picture shows.

I have been buying Dansko shoes for about 10 years, since having a titanium fusion in one foot. Their lace up styles are best for me, and I need the "rocker" sole, with a heel of about this height. This style feels quite good, and has enough room for my toes. They are sized just like my other Dansko's. I may try ordering a pair one size up to see if they will fit with some really thick socks for extreme cold. My usual size is just fine with a thinner sock. Yes, they do look better in person than in the photo (which makes them look pretty clunky).

Super comfortable , great style ! Love the tan color , excelkent arch support and added height it gives me (with no loss in stability) . Planning a trip to Germany in Spring so needed a good waterproof walking shoe that wasn't ugly like a brown hiking boot . This was perfect !

I have become obsessed with this shoe! I have never put something so comfortable on my feet! They are supportive and comfortable! I have this style in 2 colors and will probably buy another color! The tongue rests high but after 45 seconds you get use to it. I LOVE THESE SHOES!!!!!!!

I am in love with this shoe! I now have it in 2 colors! If you want a shoe with support and is cute this is the shoe! I don't even like to take them o0ff when I get home!

I liked theses so much I ordered a second pair in another color. Good support.

I'm a spry 67 yr old gardener, but not much of a big walker. I got these shoes on the same day that I went to the Seattle Flower & Garden show. I actually wore NEW SHOES to a big walking event - am I crazy??? I guess, crazy like a fox! I walked the length and breadth of the convention center three times (no small place) and my knee started to hurt & my hip wasn't too happy, but my feet felt GREAT!!!!! I was amazed. All I can say is, "These shoes rock!"

I wore these bad boys walking down an icy hill and felt secure the whole way! Great traction, I have yet to hike in them but are comfy wearing around all day. On the foot, the inside feels a bit roomy while the tongue and laces can get pretty snug. I like the roominess because it helps fitting in my inserts. I occasionally notice the snugness of the top but it doesn’t really bother me and hasn’t impeded any activity. I have the pine-milled nubuck and it does have a green tint to it, greenish-grey vs the more grey color I perceived in the online photo. All in all, pleased with this shoe!

This is the second pair I've bought. The first pair lasted more than a year, thru 3 walking vacations. These, like other Dansko styles, have a rigid shank (? I think that's the word), meaning the sole keeps your foot in line and supported. I have a very difficult foot to fit and my arches often ache, but I can wear these shoes for 10 hours. The laces are a bit annoying as they don't stay tied unless you tie them in a double knot. This latest pair has shorter laces that my 2017 pair...but there is enough to tie the double knot . I'm very glad I found these shoes and I hope they don't discontinue them.

I really love these shoes. People continue to compliment the looks of them. The padding is amazing and helps my back pain a lot. I'm very grateful and encourage people to try these.

I tried these out in the house to make sure they fit well. They were so comfortable and supportive I never took them off. They seem stiff out of the box but that doesn’t diminish their comfort.
