Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

Second pair. Great for walking in the woods. Keeps feet dry. Love the blue color.

I love a big toebox- so ordered up in size- got 40-- normally wear 39 in dansko-going to europe soon so taking these as my walking shoes.

I was looking for a shoe that would accommodate my orthotics and these do that wonderfully. The lace up is great. I actually have to open the shoe quite a bit to get my feet into them. Thinking a shoe horn would be a good item to get. Zappos is such a great company to work with, I have never had a problem that they could not address extremely well. My only issue with these shoes are the laces. I think since they are round that they come untied unless I pull the laces tight and even then they sometimes untie. Dansko would be well advised to change them to a different style that would stay tied. These shoes are warm and I think will be great for this fall and winter. When I am walking outside they seem to propel my feet forward which is good. I liked them so well that I bought another pair of the same color as they were on sale and I didn't want to have to choose another if they were gone when I needed another pair.

I think these shoes are nice looking, good arch support, and very cushy, with a wide heel base for someone like me who has floppy ankles and needs the wide heel for good balance. I usually wear shoes around the house for a week to see if they fit before I go outdoors with them. Zappos "recommended" size 41 for my size 11, wide feet. I am wondering if they keep track of the shoes I buy and estimate which size of this style would fit. I ordered 41, too small. I ordered 42. They felt lovely, but when I took them off after an hour or so, the outer part of my foot by the little toe was bright red. I have neuropathy and can't really feel how a shoe fits because I always have pain. However, when I see bright red skin, that is a marker for pressure that could produce a blister or harm my skin integrity. Sadly, I'll have to send them back as the toe box narrows in on the outer portion of the shoe. Thanks Zappos, for your customer service so someone like me with problem feet can find a shoe that is healthy for my problematic feet.

The shoes were lovely, the width was right on, the length close but could have used a half size longer. The back of the shoe was very stiff, did not feel it would ever soften, the inside depth of the shoe, top to bottom was inadequate. I ended up with a blister on top of a toe and on a heel. I returned the shoes.

Admired this shoe when my daughter got a pair. She loves hers and lives in them during the cooler months. I agree with other reviewers that they get a little warm in hot weather, but they're generally comfy. I walked about 2 miles in them and my plantar fasciitis was OK...a little tender in one foot, but fine later on. I will need to replace the insoles with better ones (usually get the ones from REI), so 4 stars. I have flat, very wide feet, so I went with a size 40. I wear a 39 in Birkenstocks, for reference.

I will start by saying I am a long-time Dansko Professional clog fan. I read the reviews on this shoe and thought I would give this a try. Things I liked: It is a really nice style shoe, very versatile in the sense you can wear it as a shoe, or as a boot (because of the Vibram outsole) or as a trail shoe (again because of the Vibram outsole and the added toe protection) and their waterproof. So overall, I was a fan of this shoe. At least one reviewer commented they felt this was one of the best shoes Dansko has put out in years. I will say I do agree. I love Nubuck leather, love the Vibram outsole, love the style. The reasons I did not keep it is because I was looking for just a bit more support (more like the Professional footbed), and also I have two pairs of Dansko VEDA in all leather which is a similar style to this minus the Vibram outsole (which I think is by far the BEST shoe Dansko has ever made that is not on the stapled footbed and that I have tried and have the pleasure of owning in both Black and Brown). I will admit, I was tempted to keep these shoes, but I have the two Veda's which are so close and so comfortable, I did not want to spend another $145.00 for these. Now, if I needed a pair of boots, which I don't, I would have kept them because of the Vibram outsole and the waterproof aspect. Oh, and reviewers are correct; for this style shoe, they don't make your feet look like huge Bozo feet (and I wear a US 9). I ordered in a Black and Navy. I really liked both colors. The black is rich and the Navy is well done. It's really hard to do Navy right. I know that might sound strange, but often when I see Navy, the color is off in some way. This is a nice Navy. (Clark's does Navy well too.) Width: I have a more narrow foot, but always wear a B. I felt, for the type of shoe they are, there should have been a little more room in the toe box. The reason is with this type of shoe, most often one would wear thicker socks. When I tried on with thicker socks, it felt a slightly tight. Probably would loosen up with after wearing them. But I like shoes to feel comfortable out of the box. So that was another slight concern and a factor for not keeping. So, someone needing Wide, this shoe might not work. Overall I gave this 4.5 out of 5. Give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed with the quality or the style. If they don't work out, Zappos has the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE and EASY return policy. Thank you Zappos - I love how easy your make shoe shopping!!

I normally wear a size US 6.5 so I ordered the size 37 per the size chart. When they arrived I was really excited because they looked so good but when I tried them on they were too big. I quickly contacted Zappos and they immediately and happily processed the exchange for a smaller size. The size 36 arrived, I tried it on and it was perfect! I have already completed my first 4 mile walk in them. For a person with problem feet with very high arches (me) this shoe was a great find! This is a little heavier sure, more like a hiking shoe with a very sturdy sole which is what I was looking for, just be prepared for the little extra weight and the little heat on the foot after walking for a period of time. I may try one of the Nubuck options to see if they are cooler.

These have been my go-to walking shoe. They have decent arch support and cushion. Although they feel a little heavy, my feet are thankful for the protection. The toe box is relatively room. I have noticed that I've worn through the heel lining, but they have had daily wear, especially when it is rainy out. They are a little warm on warm (70F+) days, but still breathable. I've been most impressed by the integrity of the shoe interior. Typically in shoes, the area under the ball of my foot is compressed and wears out before the rest of this shoe, but there has been very little wear on cushion of the foot bed--which means the shoes will last for some time. I bought this shoe in 2016 and it is still doing well with regular wear. Hope Dansko has maintained the quality.

After wearing athleisure shoes every day I went in search of something else for my feet - and I discovered the Dansko Paisley. What a lovely shoe! A bit retro in design (all good) with modern shoe construction and a Vibram sole. Sturdy. Practical. Nice! After reading many of the reviews here on Zappos I can understand why this is such a popular shoe. Note: May run a half size small for some; regular width can perhaps accomodate a more narrow foot. Arch and heal support included.

This one was almost great, but the heel padding made my heel feel unstable. Might be good for someone with heel pain, but I was looking for more stability. They do not look huge or clunky, and just as a note, the grey color has a bit of an olive tone to it.

Since I have big feet, size 12, I always appreciate a shoe that makes them look smaller! These are cute for what they are (black, comfy walking shoes for Europe) and they make your foot look smaller. HOWEVER, I find with Danskos that they are always, just a tiny bit not long enough. While all other brands fit me perfectly, I can always feel my toe touching the end in closed-toed shoes with Dansko. This breaks my heart, because their sandals and shoes are SO comfortable. But I sent these back and bought Saucony instead (and they aren't nearly as cute). So a "12" is not really a full 12 in Dansko for me.

This is a nice shoe. I found it a little little heavy and the sole stiff.

Good Shoe, lots of room in toes. Easy to wear with orthotics, but lots of laces to adjust. "Waterproof" only means upper is scotch guarded, which feels misleading given the price.

I wear size 38 in Dansko clogs but needed size 37 in this shoe. They look great and very comfortable BUT the shoe laces are a problem - will not stay tied at all unless you double-tie and even then they loosen. I'm shopping for laces to replace these because I love the shoes!

I had to exchange my first pair of Dansko paisley shoes, because they were too large. I had no problems because Zappos customer service rocks. The second pair of shoes fit perfectly. They do not require a break in period. I plan to wear them for my upcoming trips to MI and NY. Wish these shoes were available in a a slip on style. Hate to tie my shoes.

The jury is still out on these shoes. The provided footbed is useless (no support) so I purchased Powerstep ProTech insoles which were too short! Luckily I had a another pair of Powerstep ProTech insoles that worked better (same size & brand - not sure why these fit and the others didn't). However, I'm having to break in the shoes. They were too tight to lace all the way up at first. I want to make sure they're comfy enough to wear on a UK trip this summer. I'm going to have to use a thicker sock because they are longer than a typical size 8.5. Very cute shoe and make my foot look smaller! Since Dansko's are mostly made in China, I feel their quality control has suffered. I do remember when their shoes were made in Europe and were super high quality.

Wow what a great pair of work shoes! These are on the light weight side for Danskos but have that amazing support you can count on. They also aren't as tall/platform as the clogs, which is great for me. My only complaint is that the laces don't really tighten up when you put them on. I'm going to try to put them in the top loop to see if that makes them a little more tight. All in all a great work shoe or shoe for walking/standing long periods.

the heel didn't fit right

These shoes seem to be a good compromise for my hallux limitus (toe arthritis). My podiatrist suggested dansko for the rigid bottoms, but I can't wear the clog style. I like the laces on these. Beware that all of dansko shoes don't have the rigid bottoms. I do find these a little warm, maybe because they are waterproof, but my choices are limited. They look more stylish than some of my other options. I bought the black but am considering the taupe also. I usually wear a 37 in brands like naot, but the 36 fit better in these. It's hard to feel where your toe is in the shoe due to the toe cap material. I am still trying to get used to the arch in these. My berry superfeet seem to feel better than the arch that came with the shoe, but otherwise, I really like the bounciness of the inserts that came with these shoes.

Nice shoes, except that the tongue/laces end was stiff and painfully poking at my feet with ever step. If I loosened them a lot that problem was diminished, but I couldn't wear them that way for long.

I loved these--but did not like the style of the shoe--the front narrows like a point high heel. I did not have pain waking in them but for how long? I just did not think these are good walking shoes because of the slightly cramped forefoot. Excellent support otherwise, nice vibram sole--good cushioning. What a bummer!!

Nice wide all weather shoe. A little stiff, but no complaint here. Overall happy with purchase

These shoes run narrow but are quite comfortable. The Keen Voyager works better for me with a wide toe box.

I'm looking for a black shoe for work. I usually wear Keen's, but was trying to find something else that fit my feet. Sadly, I had to return these. They look great, make your feet look smaller than Keens! They were too long, I matched up insoles from a couple pairs of shoes and these were longer. I didn't exchange for a smaller size, because I don't think they are going to fit my feet well, I have problem feet. They seem to be well made shoes, I'd recommend them to others.
