Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

This shoe was great but it squeaks! I really wanted to keep it since I have feet that are very hard to fit, but I could not live with the constant squeak. Too bad!!

Cute shoe, and the quality seems very nice. But oh…that footbed! Horrible! So hard.

Returned due to being too short

They squeak! Loudly! That's a shame, because otherwise they are, like, perfect!

Surprisingly uncomfortable. Tried without the Dansko insole, still very uncomfortable. Clunky. May be good for people that stand (without moving).

These shoes have a very inflexible sole. Though they may look like sneakers, they don't have the flex that you might expect. While comfortable for standing for long intervals, I am not convinced these would be comfortable for very active walkers. They also started developing a few hot spots on my feet after a short period of wearing around the house. Back they go!

I have worn Danskos for over 20 years. I decided to splurge an buy a pair of shoes for walking. Initially when they arrived they seemed heavy, but I knew it was due to solid construction. When I wore them the first time I noted that the heel area was very hard, near the back of the heel. I put them on to do my usual walk and got a good size blister on my left heel. I purchased some heel liners, some high quality socks for support and friction minimizing, waited for my blister to heel and then tried again this morning. I was unable to complete my walk, I now have blisters on both feet. I suspect that the heel construction is too firm and rigid, for my feet at least. I am terribly disappointed as I stated, I still have four other pairs of different Dansko products that have lasted 15 years, so I know this brand is quality. I am unable to wear them and am going to return. Perhaps if you have a bulkier foot it won't affect you as much in the heel. But even rubbing my hands on the shoe interior near the heel I now understand why my feet are having pain.

I wear a brace which usually fits in Dansko size 40 but this pair seemed a whole size or more too small. Lovely shoe though. Sorry I have to return.

Nice shoe and well built but insole was to hard for me.

I am a daily wearer of Dansko clogs so I thought I would try the sneakers as I was looking for supportive walking shoes. Even though I got a wide width they felt snug overall. The tongue was rubbing against my ankle too much. They are a heavy shoe and not breathable. I would never wear them in summer. I felt my arch was not supported at all.

Fit good, but not enough arch support for my feet, especially working on concrete for 6 hr.

I ordered M and W and the wide fit me correctly. I did not like the shoe because the top of the front of the shoe is to long and it hit the front of my shin. It hurt on every step. In addition, there was not enough padding on the back of the shoe. I could see how it would be uncomfortable if I had gone for a walk wearing this shoe. Otherwise, I thought the shoe looked OK. The insoles were comfortable and offered enough support for a flat foot.

ThIs Is a good looking shoe. i almost kept because they had nice cushioning, waterproof, perfect for rail trail walking. But the SQUEAK!! Too too loud to handle.

I loved the look of this shoe but discovered a couple of issues that may cause me to return them, although there's still a chance I may keep them. First, the laces don't stay tied -- and they're too short to easily do a double knot. The bigger issue is that the sizing doesn't accommodate my feet the way many other brands do. I am just barely a size 6.5 and often wear a size 6 depending on the styling and the brand. Dansko's European size 37 is American size 6.5-7, and size 36 is American size 5.5-6. Neither size is perfect. For the price, I want a shoe that is more than good looking, I want a shoe that fits well.

I have a pair of these in regular and the wide is not any wider in the toe area. In fact, it looks exactly the same. And for some reason the wide shoes did not fit as well as the regular size. So, sadly, these are going back.

I love Dansko clogs and have hallus rigidus so was hoping these would work for me. I ordered the 6W and the wide is definitely needed in these shoes. Unfortunately as others noted, the heel area was too stiff for me and my sensitive feet. I know I would not be able to tolerate that if I wore these for a long period of time.

Bought these for a trip expecting to do a lot of walking. I liked the waterproof feature, and always loved Dansko clogs. These are ok, but I am not wowed!

I am returning these because they were not comfortable. I ordered my usual size in Dansko (40) and they did not fit. In the past this size was good for me, and I still have an old pair of Dansko's (style is not made anymore) that still fit. Also, the material used for the uppers is stiff and doesn't bend. Sorry, Dansko. I guess I will go back to Clark's because I know my size and know the product is consistent. (I only ordered these because my usual Clark's is out of stock).

Terrific room in the toe box and sturdy outsole. However, they run wide in the heel causing slippage.; fits in the heel almost like a Dankso clog. Dankso, please make lace-ups with narrower heels.

I'm really disappointed to write this review, as I love Dansko & I love this shoe! I bought a supportive Dansko shoe on recommendation from my podiatrist after breaking my toe for a week long trip to Europe. They were great for my toe, but flared up my plantar fascia issues on my *other* foot something terrible! I could barely walk after just a few miles. Major bummer. I'm not sure why it happened, as they are very supportive, but they did not work well for my foot!

The "wide" is not quite wide enough but tolerable. I have worn these to to work every day for two weeks and so far so good. I walk and stand on concrete floors. I hope these last a long time.

I was looking for a waterproof shoe that didn’t look like a hiking boot. These look like a hiking boot and a gym shoe had a baby and the style worked for me. The toe box is nice and roomy without looking clownish. Arch support is excellent and almost borders on too high of an arch. Higher than another Dansko shoe I have. My biggest issue is that despite being labeled waterproof they aren’t actually waterproof. Without stepping in any puddles one of my feet was wet 10 minutes into watching a rainy football game. The other was wet within an hour or less of being in the rain.

This shoe was surprisingly uncomfortable. The insole rubbed, no matter how loosely I tied them. The toe box was also painful. The most difficult part, was how stiff the footbed was. After walking a few miles 4 days ago, the bottom of my feet still ache. So sad, they seemed a great waterproof option.

Very comfortable, but NOT waterproof as they are advertised.

Loved the look of the shoe, but the stiffness of the shoe made them uncomfortable to walk in.
