Customer Reviews Dansko Paisley

I’ve been looking for this style of shoe to replace my previous pair in a different color. I finally after shopping around found them on Zappos. Love them!

These are great shoes! Comfortable from the first time on! I'm a size 7 medium width. Nice room in the toes box and I love the color. Great service from Zappos.

I have narrow feet and these fit beautifully, even though they are marked as medium, B width. They are very comfortable, and make my long feet look more normal in size. The water resistance works very well and my feet have stayed dry in light rain. They have also kept my feet warm in cold temperatures (30s and 40s) a feature which I wasn't expecting.

This is the second pair I ordered as the fit guide was telling me I needed a 41, but I should have listened to myself and ordered a 42, because that's what I always wear in Dansko. So I got the 42 and it fit perfectly. Love these shoes, wore them right out of the box and no discomfort. PLUS as a size 11, I think they make my feet look smaller. May have to get another pair!

The fit was perfect. This is a stiff shoe, which is what I wanted (on advice from my podiatrist). I have this shoe is another color because it works so well for long walks, easy hikes, and any time I'm on my feet awhile. My only concern is that the sole wears down fairly quickly from all my walking on cement.

Love, Love, Love these shoe's! I have Parkinson's, Peripheral Neuropathy and major balance issues. These help "straighten" me out and I have more endurance when I wear these.

I really like these so far. The design makes my size 9 feet appear a bit smaller, and they have great arch support. I haven't stepped directly into water, but haven't gotten at all damp when standing out in the rain.

The shoes are nice and have a neat, small look for the size. I need to exchange for W, hoping that it will be easier on my neuroma.

I usually wear 7.5 or size 8. I have exceptionally narrow, low volume feet. These seem to fit well. The soles are pretty stiff and I am hopeful they will get a bit more bendy with some breaking in. My heels are quite narrow but I'm able to snug these up adequately so they don't slip. I bought these to eventually put my new orthotics in (but I'm waiting on them still). They seem like they will be able to adapt nicely. I've got a goofed up ankle and foot. The other foot is not in the best of shape. I believe the stiff sole will help protect from more issues. I like their looks. Fingers crossed they are easy to clean. I'm happy!

I usually wear a 38 or 39, but in this shoe I consistently wear a 37 and there is still plenty of room in the toe box. I wore them on a 50 minute rigorous walk this morning and they are comfortable right out of the box with a cushioned athletic sock! This is my second pair. I am a daily walker and it took me several years to wear out the first pair. What happened is the vinyl toe guard started to crack and break away from the sole. They should use a matching suede toe guard instead. They really do keep my feet dry. That’s saying a lot since I live in the PNW!

I normally wear a size 9 in Clarks and 9.5 in Brooks. The Dansko size 40 (Euro) fits perfectly. Plenty of toe room for my medium width foot. Love the chalk color. These shoes are a very comfortable and sturdy walking shoe.

I work on my feet all day long, these provide great support for my whole foot. If arch were too soft, I would feel pain and instability. I love these shoes. I bought 3 pair!

I love these--really cute and comfortable--but they are surprisingly big for the size I always otherwise get. I'm hoping to exchange for a half or full size smaller.

These are the best shoes ever! I wear an 8 1/2 with socks and size 39 was a perfect fit. I found that after walking with these shoes, my knees and back didn't ache later on like they did with regular walking shoes or sneakers. Also traction and balance feels more secure in these Danskos. Now, I want to find a men's version for my husband.

This is the 3rd pair of these I have purchased because I have worn the others out. I wear them almost daily. I love these shoes!

For me, I needed orthodox inserts because the nearly flat arch of these shoes made the bottom of my feet hurt. With the addition of inserts, they’re perfect!!

Won’t speak to waterproof quality of Paisley, but as for out-of-the-box comfort they’re perfect. I’m a 9M (39) with a narrow heel. My heels nestled into the shoe and didn’t slip once in the 3 days I’ve worn them. Thanks Dansko!

This is my second pair of these shoes - I love them. Bought the first pair in February of 2018, wore them all over, everywhere, since. They are shoes, not boots. I think they're great for urban areas with some light trails but wear my hiking boots for heavy hiking. Thus they've worn well except I wore out the sole at the heel. New pair needs breaking in but I expect they will last as long. Great shoes, but if you're looking for boots, look elsewhere. I walk my dog daily, about 2-3 miles each walk, have worn them traveling and sightseeing. They wore a bit on the inside back of the heel but otherwise simply look like an older pair of walking shoes. I have arthritis with a natural fuse in the right big toe ball joint and a bunion on the left foot and find these shoes comfortable and supportive.

The soles of these shoes were dirty, and I think they were supposed to have a second pair of shoe laces.

They are a great sneaker. A little stiffer but many of Danskos are. A little bit narrower in the toe box. But pretty true to fit. I have received many compliments on these tennis. I love that they are water proof. This is my second pair. As I will take my first pair and have them as my golf shoes.

I ordered a 40 and 39, both in wide. Felt like the 40 was a bit large and allowed slippage in my heel. 39 fit well. I typically wear an 8.5 in regular shoes and up to a 9.5 in athletic shoes; especially if I want to use my custom orthotics. If I pull the footpad out of these, the orthotics fit well. But I haven’t honestly worn them with my orthotics as I feel the arch support in these is great. Lots of support and no real break in period. Would buy again. Hoping that Zappos gets some of the other colors in wide in my size as I will buy them! Great shoe!!!

I want to take ONE PAIR of waterproof shoes on a long weekend trip, but unfortunately these looked too much like hiking shoes. They fit fine, a bit roomier in the toe than most shoes which was a big surprise to me. Unfortunately, I have to send them back.

EXCELLENT, my feet are very needy in many catagorys. I need great arch support-YES! I need a roomy but not sloppy toebox- YES! I need great comfy heel cushion- YES! I want style-YES. I want quality-YES! I want a great price, under a hundred preferred, but at $116 for all I got I still think it was a great deal!

I love dansko paisley just bought the blue. One complaint I have I ordered from Zappos was delivered by amazon. Was scheduled for Jan 27. . It was delivered yesterday the 26th in the evening. I wasn’t expecting it so I did not check for it. I looked this morning it said it had been delivered. The box was covered in snow and ice was wet . Lucky the inside wasn’t . When UPS delivers they put boxes in plastic bags. I have never had this problem with Zappos except one other time. I will say I am not happy with merchandise that is covered in snow and ice.

I get excited when shoes fit me properly and don't cause pain. Like many other people, I have problem feet. This causes me a huge amount of pain and stress. I don't have the kind of feet that allow me to wear super cute or elegant footwear, which is fine. Plus, my style is a bit eccentric anyway. I want to wear shoes that look like I tried, and don't look like I just had surgery. I have feet that hurt, every day. I have tailor bunions (bunions next to the little toe) on both feet, as well as bunions next to both big toes. So basically, my feet have 'points' on both sides. Shoes I buy must be made of soft enough material that doesn't irritate the points. If the material isn't soft, the shoe must be wide enough that it doesn't disturb the bunions. I also have arthritis in both feet, and the joint on my left big toe is permanently inflamed. There's a term for this, but I don't remember what it's called. Shoes I buy must also provide enough room above both big toes, otherwise they'll put pressure on the inflamed joints and cause more pain. Finally, I have zero padding on the bottoms of my feet, so shoes I buy must have support and a thick sole that isn't hard, otherwise my feet will sting. If I feel the ground under my shoes, it's a deal breaker. Occasionally, I can add one to two insoles, depending on how much room the shoe has, and that will work just fine. I know when to add a thick insole, and when to add a thin insole. I know all the tricks. When I can make things work, I feel really blessed. My go-to shoes must go with workout leggings, jeggings, yoga paints, and slacks because I will wear them constantly. I refuse to sacrifice comfort. I am at the gym three to four times a week. I lift weights and I walk on the treadmill. I wore Dansko Professionals for five years while I was a technical trainer, teaching six-hour classes. They were the only shoe I could wear while on my feet all day that didn't cause pain. I bought these shoes to replace a pair of of workout shoes that weren't providing the necessary level of support. I am happy to say that these shoes meet all of the requirements listed above AND they're super stylish! They don't look clunky, and they make my feet look smaller. The leather and suede are sturdy, and surround and support the sides of my feet without touching or irritating the bunions. The sole is thick, supportive, and comfortable, and I don't feel the ground under my feet. The insole included is also supportive enough that I didn't need to add another insole. That's a huge plus. I can walk on the treadmill at a brisk pace for thirty minutes without my feet hurting or stinging. I ordered the black and purple version, because that's my ultimate color combo. I am so pleased with these shoes that I'm considering ordering another pair in a different color, or maybe even a back-up pair of the black ones. I highly recommend these shoes, especially to someone with foot problems like me. I hope this review will help someone, because I know that when I look for shoes and read reviews, I look for reviews written by people with feet like me, and that always helps with my purchasing decisions. And, as always, Zappos is amazing.
