Love this shoe! Dansko makes a shoe that works for me, sometimes. This hit the mark. It is a cute style that I can wear in the spring and summer, the metallic is such a great neutral! But, let's talk about the fit. I wear a 9M and have a barely-there arch. Dansko usually is a firm foot-bed and my foot likes that structure. The lower platform, while not being flat, it is not so high that my foot slides forward - a big problem if you don't have a Barbie arch that keeps your foot in the correct position. Also, I look for a strap around the ankle to keep my heel from dancing off the back of the shoe. This shoe hits all of my marks, love it.

I bought his shoe in Pewter, and I love them! I normally wear a 7 to 7 1/2 and the 37 fits perfectly! I have flat feet, a bunion on one foot and a surgically, overcorrected bunion on the other foot that makes finding a cute, proper fitting sandal hard to find! No problems with these!

I have very flat feet, especially the left foot, wear Dansko 41-42. I am finding that I cannot wear shoes with a two n half inch heal anymore but the heel on this sandal is just right. Comfortable sandal, very cute, nice color will go with anything.

I have them in pewter. They are unbelievably comfortable. There was no break in period whatsoever. I have plantar facitis and these shoes provide me the perfect support without any pain.

They are extremely comfortable. Wish it was actual buckle at ankle instead of velcro. Seems a bit wide at ankle but can cinch with velco

These shoes are darling and would work with a skirt, dress or pants. The little heel makes them especially festive. I wish they fit me. The length is good, but they are too wide for my feet.

I loved the style of this shoe - so unusual for a Dansko. I especially liked the hook and loop hidden by the buckle. The leather is super soft and seems like it would be comfortable all day, but I had issues slipping my foot into the shoe for that very reason . . . the straps were too soft and I needed to adjust each one. No "slipping my foot in" with this pretty shoe. I can't hold my breath long enough to be bending over adjusting the straps on my sandals.

Out of the box on onto my feet! Cute, perfect fit (wide, big, "ugly" feet), and comfortable!

These shoes are so pretty! Because we have a ton of snow on the ground, I haven't been able to wear them other than in my house, but they seem very comfortable and the perfect size.

This shoe is just SOOO cute. It looks great with ankle length chinos. They are very comfortable and the arch support is perfect. I have bunions and sometime scrappy shoes hurt but these are just wide enough and actually HIDE the bunions beautifully. I love these shoes!

Amazing sandal. Perfectly comfortable and cute from the moment I put these on. I have literally walked and stood in these all day, at a concert, walking around town, you name it. The small heel is just enough to give you some height without sacrificing comfort. The leather gives nicely without stretching out. The footbed is amazingly comfortable, and seems to breathe = no sweaty feet! Love the heel coverage in the back. I have the pewter which is a great color with just enough bling. Going to grab a second pair!

The uppers have very soft leather straps. The footbed is soft to the touch. I was pleasantly surprised that this shoe has a cork footbed. I really like that the strap Velcro but has the appearance of a buckle.

Great sandal - the metallic finish adds a nice twist. They do run large - I had to return for next size down which fit perfectly. I’m not a huge fan of Velcro straps but they’re fine. I’ve only worn them in the house so far but I’m looking forward to wearing them on our upcoming beach vacation.

I love these sandals. The most comfortable sandals I have ever worn, and the metallic leather gives it a little bit of dressiness so it looks great with skirts and dresses.

Very nice shoe. The straps were too loose for my narrow foot. None were adjustable except the one at the top, and that went across my anke bone in a way that was uncombortable. I suppose if the lower straps fit, it wouldn't be so important...

Best Dansko ever! Not only do they have a flexible sole, but support is exceptional! My favorite shoe I’ve purchased in years! I have trouble with my feet - bunions and pain when not in a supportive shoe. I will sacrifice style for support, but you don’t have to sacrifice ANYTHING in these shoes!!! I ordered black and then ordered pewter! Thank you Dansko!

I was on the fence with these for a while but took the plunge when they went on sale and am so glad. They are super comfortable and stylish. As others have noted, they are more comfortable when adjustable strap is not pulled too tight. The entire sandal is a little on the loose side -- not tightly fitted -- but it totally works. Takes a bit of getting used to but exceptionally well-designed for comfort. Usually wear size 6 and the 36 worked just fine. Metallic color is wonderful and leather is soft -- no break-in needed.

I LOVE these shoes! They are super comfortable and super cute— kind of shoe that makes you want to walk around! I did have to put a band aid on my ankle the first day but they were fine by day 2 with no rubbing at all! I have worn Naot Kayla sandals for the past years and I’ve struggled to find anything so comfortable. These are pretty close! And much more stylish!

Love this shoe. Very stylish and comfortable but sadly not for feet that are battling bunions. The straps, although close together, could not prevent my stubborn bunion from poking through.

I bought these last summer but due to a problem with my feet, was not able to wear them until this summer. Now they fit my entire foot, whereas last year my feet were swollen (health issue) making them almost impossible to wear without stuffing myself into them. But my normal size with Dankso in most styles is a 41, yet these are a 42 and they fit well. However, they are not truly comfortable, in that the leather is pretty stiff although the footbed is soft. However, I wore them for some hours while out and about on a hot day, and when I got home and took them off, I did not have any serious rubbing on any toes, nor did I have any blisters. I bought them in the dark grey and that is a really elegant color and look.

Cute, immediately walkable and wearable for long stretches of walking. The velcro works great and the sizing was spot on.

These were a size 40 (9.5 - 10) too small, returning for a 41. I wear 9.5 to 10 - there was no extra space on any edge of these shoes when I tried them on
