Really fantastic support for my foot and toe issues -- takes away all the pain! The problem is the boot shaft. It rubs terribly against the inside ankle bone. I'm disappointed they didn't work.

I'm a hairstylist and ordered these in hopes to wear to work, as many stylists and other professionals who are on their feet all day, swear by Dansko. I'm not a fan of the clog look and I found these to be cute as a bootie style. They arrived yesterday, I ordered a 9, and I could hardly get my foot in the hole. They're super rigid and stiff. The elastic on the side doesn't give much and they were very snug on the sides and top of my foot. I'm sending them back and may try to order a wide, but they already look bulkier in person than the photo, so my search for stylish comfort may continue.

I live in professional clogs and was so excited to find these- but unlike the clogs, they are so tight across the top of the foot that they are painful to wear. Dansko- do better!

It was like Dansko made their clog into a boot. Except I like the clogs, and these boots were very uncomfortable and not good looking.

37 is my usual Dansko size but the top part of the shoe's fit made it feel as if my feet were in a vise. I just ordered a size 38 to try because I love the style. I also see Sanita sells something similar and I've had luck with that brand (a shoot-off of Dansko). We'll see! Thanks to Zappos for making returns easy and painless.

I thought these would be different from the clogs, which are not made for very high arches, but they were not, they only pressed down more painfully lower down towards the toes. The clogs pressed down painfully right on the top of the arch, which would be agonizing enough after a less than 2 hours of wear that I would be ready to take them off and go about my day barefoot, including the public transit and walking a mile home part. I thought the clogs would eventually stretch out or be broken in but after months realized that they never would. These were worse instantly but not in the same exact place on my arch. Returned.

The size was fine but the color was not what I expected. So I returned them. I ordered black ones.. Hope they fit . I have a bad time trying any shoes but Dansko.

What's really weird is I just received this same style in the black and they fit perfectly. This pair was way too big...not sure what happened. I double checked the size in the shoe and it said it was a 39. Anyway...I am returning this shoe but keeping the black.

I love the look of these shoes and how they look with certain outfits but the comfort is very poor. I was hoping they would be like my other Danskos in which I am on my feet for 12 hours a day but these are just not comfortable for an extended period of time. The foot bed feels much harder than many of the other rocker bottom Dansko style shoes.

Ordered these because I thought they would fit like the black frankie's. These clogs in new honey color are so much wider around the ankle. Sending them back.

I am a royal Dansko fan and this was going to be my 14th pairs. I wanted to like this boots so bad. I like the color and style. But unfortunately it’s really really hard to take these boots off. Literally I needed shoehorn, which doesn’t fit to my lifestyle right now. I have to return ;-/

The size and fit seemed good for the few moments I tried them before returning. They are well made. ButI thought they were really unattractive and made my feet look huge and clunky. I wear size 38.

First Dansko shoe I’ve ever tried on. Everyone says they are super comfortable so I figure I’d give them a try. IMO, these shoes are super weird! The fit is very different and did not feel comfortable to me. Too roomy and were not comfortable to walk in causing a forced gait and a weird rocking sensation. I don’t get the hype.

I was so excited about this style... When I received the boots I wasn't thrilled with the suede. You can't tell from the photos how it actually looks. Then I tried them on. Maybe it's that I've been living in Hawaii for the past few months and only wearing sandals, but I found them extremely uncomfortable and rigid. There is no flexibility or cushion in the sole. So I'm returning them.

very disappointed in these shoes. The toe box was quite narrow and misshapen, and the stitching/seams that connect the shoe to the sole(not a shoe expert-could be wrong on terminology) was poorly constructed. These shoes look really cool, but that is it. I need to be able to walk or at least stand in them-and I could do neither.

The pair of Dansko Frankie brown clogs I received were not only tight, but the left shoe has a large gash on the toe. Even if the shoes fit, this gash makes them unacceptable.

The boots really slipped in the heal on both feet. I though I ordered these shoes with a side zipper, not slip ons. Very disappointed with the Dansko quality.

I am a diehard Dansko fan and live in professional clogs. They should have been perfect. But they are so tight across the instep they’re unwearable. Very disappointed.

Cute shoe. Horrible fit. Dansko, this shoe was downright painful. Not a comfort shoe for me. What were you thinking when you made this arch so high? I have a normal instep. I was hoping this would work for bad weather, crisp fall days and going out for walks when it was damp. Sent it back immediately.

The arch in this dansko frankie HURTS. Dankso, why did you mess up this simple boot with a bad arch!
