Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

This is a firm shoe but more comfortable than Merrill is for my foot. I have 2 other Dansko sneakers that are much softer and comfy around the house, but not suitable for outdoor exercise walking. I usually wear 38 aka 71/2 in Dansko and these fit perfectly with PLENTY of toe room - and I even have the longer 2nd toe type of foot. I have had 7 surgeries in the last 10 months including knee and hip replacements and foot surgery so I am looking forward to getting back to being active in 2017. Love that these are waterproof too. Bought the taupe as one of my other Dansko sneakers are in black suede and they pick up lint and dirt too easily. These are the color of dirt - perfect! I was going to save up $$ and also buy the burgundy in these so I could rotate them, but now they're gone:( The only minor concern is that the tongue is a bit long into the front of my ankle, but don't anticipate much problem break it in as it is pretty soft. And it really does have a rocker feel when walking - LOVE IT!

I originally bought these in raisin when they first came out. After weAring them for a week, I new that they were a 5 star shoe for fit and comfort. I recently bought them in black. I only wear Dansko and only buy through Zappos!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes!!! I am a huge fan of Dansko shoes, particularly the clogs, but can no longer wear them due to plantar fasciitis. I was so sad to give up my clogs! These Dansko shoes are the next best! I ordered the black and they are very attractive. The support is second to none. No break in period at all for these which is a huge plus! I use my own inserts so that provides me with the best for my feet but the arch support was good in these. I'm going to order the raisin color for a little variety!!

Best. Shoe. Ever. I have arthritis in my right foot and it's hard for me to find a shoe I can be comfortable in all day. This show delivers! Comfort, support and everyone says "Hey! Cute shoes!" Get them. They won't disappoint.

Super comfortable looks good for worknor play! Great arch support!

Comfortable right out of the box, no break in time needed. These shoes are very supportive for my plantar fasciitis.

I'm not one to review products but with the trouble I've had with my feet in the last 2 years, I felt the need to pass on my experience. I have plantar fasciitis & high arches which proves problematic for podiatrists to "fix" me. I did noninvasive therapy, shockwave therapy, laser therapy, acupuncture, orthotics, you name it. Nothing worked so I opted for the endoscopic plantar fasciotomy (EPF) surgical procedure in Sept. My plantar fasciitis pain is pretty much gone but now I am dealing with pain from the scar tissue that was left from the path of the endoscope. I have tried almost every shoe known to man & it has been one expensive journey until I found the Paisley from Dansko. It has a firm enough outer sole that provides great support while the "triple layered footbed" provides enough give for my arches to collapse in a neutral position as I step. I don't use orthotics in this shoe. My doctor & I discovered that I pronate around the toe area & supinate as I get closer to my heel. These shoes have so far corrected my step to a more neutral pattern. I was concerned when I first tried them on because I need "soft, cushiony" for my high arches. I was never able to wear the Dansko clogs due to the nature of the stiff, hard footbed. After wearing the Paisleys for a few hours I determined my feet were liking what they were feeling. I have since returned back to my job in a hospital setting & have worked up to being on my feet for about 7-8 hours. Yes the scar tissue gets agitated by the end of the day but as long as I'm on my feet continuously, I don't feel the pain. I couldn't have done it w/out these gems! I normally wear a 9 & 1/2 - 10 so the 40s felt perfect. I have a wider foot towards the toe area & felt the toe box was adequate with no irritation around my pinky toe. The style is cute for an everyday use and makes your foot look smaller for some reason. I only wish there was a dressier shoe by Dansko with the same technology as this one.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn in years, and they look good, too! I love the arch support and the firm footbed, as well as the pleasure of having room to wiggle my toes. I put these shoes on first thing in the morning and wear them all day -- to my exercise classes, shopping, around the house, walking in town, out to a concert -- anywhere I want my feet to feel comfortable. I've had compliments on them by folks of all ages (I'm a "senior citizen") and am going to buy a second pair soon, as I'd hate be without my favorite footgear!

love these shoes. comfortable from the 1st time I put them on.

I wanted to love this shoe! I was looking for a comfortable shoe for commuting. It's really cute in person and I wish it came in a 43; my normal size 42 was just a little too tight/short and I just don't think I can make it work. Bummer!

I love Dansko they are really the only shoes I will wear. My daily selection is a professional clog normally but those don't do well on a trip chaperoning a marching band...16000 steps in one day was too much for my poor feet. I picked these up because I need a sturdy pair of black shoes with arch support and these were a home run! I've have other dansko athletic shoes and they don't seem to have as much arch support as these. Maybe it's the Vibrom sole I'm not sure but these were excellent. Very worth the price and they look really nice on with dressier slacks or jeans. If you need a supportive sneaker give these a try you won't regret it.

I haven't worn these outside yet, but they are so very comfortable. They look small too, which I always like : )

I find it very difficult to find sneaker/walking shoes that don't aggravate my arthritic toes. These were a keeper. They are cute (love the burgundy color). Nice sturdy sole (not much flex - which is perfect for me). Nicely cushioned inside.

These are very comfortable shoes

This is a great shoe and I wanted it to work for me but it was just too big. The shoes are very well made and look great. The length and width were good but the depth was too big. I would have had to wear heavy socks all the time! With or without my custom made insoles they were just too big. I have ordered Dansko shoes from Zappos many times and mostly with good results.

I loved the shoe but my heel kept rubbing against the back as it is high and I was afraid of blisters. The shoe is super comfortable

Loved these except that they did not have the Dansko clog support I was hoping for. Had to supplement the support with an insole from another company.

Well made and a good fit but I decided I didn't like the style.

This shoe is very supportive. May be too stiff for some as compared to more cushioned types. It works for me. I like that the treads don't clump or hold onto mud, etc. as much as some other walking shoes.

I love the support of these shoes and I love the looks. The problem is they do run a bit small and very narrow. I ordered a wide with and they are still a little snug. They are a great walking shoe and are weatherproof,just in case.

The shoe sat to low on my ankle. I didnt like that... The color was to dark for me..

This is a great looking shoe and was comfortable when trying on but the arch did not support my foot enough so caused overpronation.
