Customer Reviews Dansko Frankie

i love dansko but i am a true size 7.5 and so i am limited in my choices as 38 is too long, 37 too short. i wear a narrow 38 in the oiled professional. crossed my fingers and ordered these in 37 and 38 because i need a winter shoe and the 37 fit great! they are very stiff when you first put them on and if you have a high instep you might never get them on. but two weeks in of near daily use and they have loosened and softened and they are all day comfort!

This is my third pair of Dansko Frankie’s...I’d buy them in every new color they make if possible. I have a fused great toe, so stiff, rocker bottom soles are my only really comfortable way to go. And believe me, I LOVE shoes. I try others only to relegate them to the two hour special occasion bins. This pair is looser than either of the suedes from last year. But that just means I haven’t tried them on with socks yet. The leather is really lovely. They look more dressy than the suedes. I’m thrilled with them.

These booties go with everything.

Top of boot rubbed the front of my ankle/shin. Not comfortable so had to return.

I was looking for a shoe that fit like the Professional but looked a little more...professional. This does fit the bill. They're not the cutest in the world, but it's a step up from having my socks showing like they do in normal clogs. This might sound obvious, but they fit more like clogs than boots. The heel still slips a little. It's a little more narrow in the front than my Professionals and there might even be more arch support. But perhaps that's because my Professionals are old. Overall a solid little bootie if you're looking for support!

I wear a size 9 and ordered a 39. I have problems with ball off foot pain in my right foot. I wore these for two hours around the house and they felt great. No pain. The area around the top of boot is a little stiff but they will break in. They look cute with jeans. thank you Dansko.

The shoe has excellent support and it is a good style for someone who works on her feet for many hours at a time. I think the style is a cross between a clog and a boot or bootie. There is good room in the toebox. It is a quality shoe. However I liked another Dankso style better, and so I am sending it back. I found the shoe to be a bit on the large side, but not enough to make it wider than normal, especially for Dansko.

Very cute and comfortable but had to exchange for a smaller size and I have lots of Dankos and have never needed a smaller size just be aware

I've been wearing Danskos for years, clogs, sandals and one pair of boots that are the best, but looking kind of beat up. Maybe my tastes and feet have changed, but these were very uncomfortable, stiff, hard and clunky. The fit seemed right, I usually wear a 39 in Danskos, but so uncomfortable that I couldn't wait to take them off. They look good, and maybe they would have softened up with time, but not going to chance it.

I normally wear a size 40 in Danskos, 9.5 in most shoes that can offer a wider toe box (like original Keens). These fit as I expected. The toe was roomy enough to move my toes while in the boots. I was able to slip my feet in without too much struggle, and as well to slip them out again if I gripped the boot firmly with my hands to pull them off my foot. When I wore them I could feel the arch support pressing at my arch. I think the support was a little much for me, or my arches are a little low. I have never had a problem with too much or too little arch support. If this were the only thing I noticed, I might have kept these. I love the way they look--a little boxy, like clogs, cool and funky. I don't like a skinny shoe or one that is too hulking or manly. I liked the style of these. The biggest problem for me was that on right right inside ankle the boot would hit against it, which was rather painful, intermittently when I walked. I also noticed that when going down the stairs the front of the boot at the top/opening hit against the front of my leg. I couldn't see taking these "hits" over and over as I walked around or down stairs. I was looking for a shoe that was handsome enough to wear out, and comfortable enough to go walk many blocks in town. These didn't pan out for me. Too bad, they are just the look I wanted.

Fit was a little tight. The fabric was also a bit stiff and the shoe felt clunky and heavy overall. I had to return

I need shoes that are good for the hallux limitus in my big toe. Dansko clogs are usually really good for this purpose, but with these boots I found the top of the shoe pressed down on my big toe and caused pain. Not sure if this will lessen over time, so I’m returning. Also I didn’t think they looked as cute on as in the pictures

Loyal Dansko customer for 20+ years. I own numerous pairs of Dansko. I overestimated the quality of the leather used here...it's an oiled brown which basically means every single bump or rub will reflect on the show...even wrapped in tissue and new out of the box, the leather was dinged and nicked. This is such a popular style - every single time I wear the Honey version of these I get stopped by women asking what brand these shoes are. I don't understand why Dansko doesn't make in suede or other colors...I would buy them all. Oiled leather is a big no for me.

I love Dansko boots and shoes, but these were no comfortable at all. Returning them.

I finally bit the Dansko bullet and got these for my serving job. I have high arches and per reviews I was worried about the professional series or XP regular clogs being tight across the top of the foot. These felt great from the first shift.

I live in these boots on the daily! I opted for these because I was having issues wearing the Dansko clogs; I seem to be prone to rolling my ankle in them with they way they sit kind of high and narrow. I thought these would give me more stability, and I was right.

Finally some shoes that I can feel stylish in, yet still walk and stand for hours in comfort!

I can stand and walk for hours in style with these!

YES! This is the style from the 1990s that I wore for many years until they finally disintegrated. My instep is too high to wear ANY Dansko clogs EXCEPT FOR THESE! If you have a high instep, these are the Danskos for you!

I bought these over a year ago (Antique Brown Oiled Boot), and I wear them most days. I've always loved Danskos and had a few pairs of clogs. But due to an ankle injury that subtly messed up my foot/ankle alignment, I found myself twisting my ankle a lot in the standard clogs. The clogs set high and narrow at the base, which felt unstable for me after the injury, so I opted to try these because they are similar to the clogs but with ankle support. While they're not the prettiest things in the world, they're my favorite shoes to wear. I'm probably going to get them in a different color very soon. I'd love more color options for this style.**

Shoe was too narrow

Comfortable from the first time that I put them on . I have the Frankie in brown as well and can wear them all day long working.

I LOVE these! They’re my new favorite fall/winter/spring shoes! They’re so comfortable, and I love the way they look. I need another pair!

The boot hits my ankle wrong, otherwise fit was good

Love them and seriously considering buying the black ones too!
