These are amazing!! I love the style and they're even cuter in person. They are so comfortable and easy to walk in. I am a size 7 and ordered a 37. They fit perfectly!

These shoes are beautiful and the foot beds are soft and comfortable, but my flat and narrow feet were swimming in them. Had really hoped they would work, but they have to go back.

I tried the 7.5-8 at first, hoping they would be wide enough, and they certainly were, but a bit too long. These were simply too tight across the instep of my foot. Keeping the larger ones...

Cute sandal, great quality of workmanship and materials. Just not for me. Felt like walking on stilts. Maybe for a younger body? I'm 56 and felt that these were a bit too cloppy for my tastes.

This shoe is stylish, well made,and comfortable and supportive as any Dansko...of which I have several pairs and varieties. Unfortunately, the front of this shoe hit my big toe in a way that pressed into it and caused pain just upon trying it on. I regretfully have to send these back. They are a beautiful shoe, and well made, so if you don't have a fat big toe (like I guess I do), they are a great choice!

Bought these in ruby vintage. Color is gorgeous deep brown. Velcro ankle strap with buckle detail is brilliant. Platform was super comfortable. But had to return them because the front of the sandal at the top cut into the front of my ankle and was painful as soon as I put them on. The leather is stiff initially. At this price couldn't take a chance it would soften. So disappointed!

Cute shoe and very stylish for Danskos if not a little higher heel than I'm used to. The leather is also very soft. I just couldn't get over the Velcro faux buckle. I probably would've kept them if the buckle was real but that feature seemed to cheapen the shoe to me.

I thought I'd love this style, but on my foot not so good. I loved the heel hight, and the footbed was super comfy though. I'm just going to try another Dansko heeled sandal. The 41 fit my 10.5 foot perfectly.

Style is very attractive, but did not like the Taub...drab color. Also, this shoe in the width was not comfortable. Returning.

I bought 2 pair of the dansko Demetra. One in leather the other in NuBuck. The nubuck is os comfortable and a keeper, but the leather shoe has no give across the width. I will be keeping the Black NuBuck, But returning the leather.

I wanted to love this sandal from Dansko. I have two pairs of professional clogs and I rely on them through the year. However, I was disappointed with the heel of this shoe - it is made of plastic, not wood, and it looks cheap. I understand that Dansko would want to keep the shoe light, but maybe a better type of plastic or composite would look better. I'm bummed because I love the shoe otherwise.

I wanted to love these shoes so badly. I own 4 pairs of very similar Danskos and love them for their fit and comfort. Buy these would not even fit in my foot. While I have high arches, I have no issues with my similar shoes but I could not fit my foot past the to of my foot. So unfortunately they are going back.Having said that, they look fabulous and are the usual high quality you expect from Dansko.

These are cuter online than in person, and they are small! I usually wear a size 11 but I couldn't get my foot into the shoe. The leather on top is too tight for the size it should have been fitting.

I wanted to love these based on all of the positive reviews but they just didn't work for me and made one of my feet go numb and it lasted for two days after taking them off. I was hoping to take them with me traveling but had to return. So bummed. I'm usually and 8.5/9 and the 39 was huge and the 38 fit me just right, just not comfortable.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ignore the sound of the velcro with every step. I tried adjusting the strap, but I could still hear the crinkling. The placement at the ankle makes stresses the velcro even more. A real bucket would have solved that issue. Otherwise fits great. I typically wear an 8 or 8.5 and the size 39 works. But the velcro makes these shoes a return.

I was so bummed that this pair of shoes did not live up to the Dansko reputation for arch support. I have almost one dozen pairs of Dansko's and I've noticed in the past couple of years that a lot of styles do not have adequate arch support. I had to send them back because I cannot pay that high price for a Dansko that doesn't fit like all my other pairs.

Be aware of the high heal. If you're tall and you don't want to be a giant, then these shoes aren't for you. I'm 5.9 and I didn't realize how high these shoes were when I ordered them. They felt like stilts...comfortable and stylish stilts, but still, stilts. They made me feel way too tall. The are also not really a sandal, they are a shoe... there's a lot of leather going on.

These shoes are VERY comfortable BUT are very squeaky- I am sending them back- I've worn them for 2 days and they are loud, sounds sticky, and are incredibly distracting to walk in due to the constant sound at each step. For a high brand like Dansko, I am surprised that these have so much material dysfunction.
