Customer Reviews Dansko Frankie

I was recently lamenting my old Dansko's from the 1990's which I wore to shreds. And was so happy to see Dansko is producing them again! These are even more prettier now. I got the Honey Distressed color, a rich leather design like my originals. I love that you can slip them on without a side zipper. I wish they were a bit snugger as I prefer not to wear socks but I will overlook this because I love this style so much and will just wear with some knee highs.

I purchased these in two colors. The black pair fit absolutely perfect. The tan color was too big overall. I checked the size in the tan and it said 39 just like the black pair. Darn!!!! I really like the tan color but have sent them back. I did keep the black pair.

Beautiful, simple design. Great leather. After getting one size larger, the fit is perfect. Very comfortable.

I love the Dansko style with the arch support, simplicity of design and the fit was perfect—so comfortable.

If Dansko had half sizes, I would be a great candidate—I wear a 38 in professional clogs but they're a smidge short, and the 39s always seem too big. I ordered both 38 + 39 in the Frankie. I LOVE the bootie style! The 38 fit perfectly in length but were too narrow and squeezed my arch, much like other reviewers said. While the 39s were looser in the heel, they don't slip too much.

These are the most comfortable shoes I own. Yes, I know they are pricey, but sooooo worth it. I'm not a big "clog" fan as I think they look like medical professional shoes, but these do not. I get many compliments on them.

I’ve been so hyped to get these. They are exactly as I hoped, with one minor issue: you can’t wear no show socks with these, they pull right off in the shoe. Best worn with high socks. Overall cute as hell and cozy.

I absolutely love these shoes. I can wear them with different styles of clothing and they are very comfortable with great arch support. There’s no place that they rub wrong or pinch my foot. Love ‘em.

This is the boot I've been looking for! Practical for everyday wear, supportive for my 4 mile round trip walk to work, and cute so I'm not stuck in tennis shoes everyday. I'm very satisfied!

They feel great. My foot feels supported all day. I need to use a shoe horn to get them on in the morning.

I really loved that these fit like my older Danskos, with the arch in the correct place (for me, anyway!). I liked the style too, but they were just heavier than I wanted at this point.

After two years of ownership, these have become my go to boots. I'm back to order another color. The arch support is stellar.

To say I love these shoes is putting it mildly. Typical Dansko comfort, great style. They dress up well for work, but also work for casual if needed. Again, love them!

Superb

Four stars for comfort because these came a bit stiff and needed some breaking-in. These are great shoes for style and comfort. Practical for working on your feet all day as well as going out/dressing up. The construction is strong and durable. All in all I am happy with these and definitely recommend.

Perfect fit right out of the box. I ordered my usual Dansko clog size 41 and these fit just the same. Actually, I like the way these fit better than the clogs! They feel more snug and secure at the center of my foot and have good arch support. I’ve been waiting a while to purchase these and so glad I finally did!

Just got the Frankie bootie from Dansko this week and I LOVE them. If you are a Dansko fan and know your size, do not hesitate to treat yourself to these babies. I wear my Dansko shoes until they are well past their prime and with the cold weather upon us, I decided to try these and I'm really glad I did. For reference, I have a narrow foot but need a wider toe box for all day wear. I wear a 36 in all Dansko shoes and these fit perfectly in 36. It takes a little bit of effort to get them on...can't step right in like with the professional or marcelle. But once they're on, they feel great, look great and appear to go with every single item in my closet. I can see wearing them for 3 seasons with or without a sock. May not work for folks with wider feet but absolutely worth a try and worth the $.

I'm a Dansko fan and bought these boots a few weeks after breaking a toe. They gave me the support and comfort to get around during the healing process, and I’ll keep wearing them. They have a lower heel and wider toe than Dansko’s Maria style, which I’ve also owned and enjoyed wearing for miles of walking. I wear a size 10 and the 41s fit perfectly with room for thick socks.

I purchased these boots to replace an almost 20-year old pair of Danskos that have gotten me through 19 winters, but when I pulled them out of the closet recently, I decided they were so beat up that it was time to replace them. I normally wear a 37 in Birkenstocks and my other Danskos are a mix of 37s and 38s so I ordered both sizes. I'm keeping the 38 - My right foot is a little wider than my left due to foot surgery this summer, and these are a bit more accommodating. I love the classic Dansko soles and the basic timeless stlye. Looking forward to (possibly) another 19-20 years for this pair!

I usually wear size 37 Dansko clogs, and these Frankie booties seem to fit the same as the clogs. I haven't worn them yet (just received my order last night) but they look really cool with skinny jeans or skinny black pants, and make me feel young and hip! ;-) And from the short time I tried them on last night, they seem really comfortable - just like the clogs. I think I'm going to love wearing these this fall and winter. I hope they keep making the Frankie bootie!

Last year I ordered the Dansko Paisley in 40 and had to return for the 41 (I normally wear 9.5 to 10). I picked up in the reviews of the Frankie bootie that it ran small, so I ordered the Frankie in 41. They were too big and had to be returned for the 40. They fit great, and they feel great on my feet. I am still test driving them for my upcoming trip to NYC where I will be doing a lot of walking. Only worries...they touch (not much) the front of my ankle when I walk which could turn into a "hot spot" with hours of walking. And I sometimes struggle to take them off. Well, just the right one as I am kind of oldish and not quite as bendy as I used to be. Plus side...I have two new knees and I think these shoes put my knees and back in a better position. I swear I have a bit less back pain since wearing them. They look fabulous. For the non heeling wearing, Frankie add some height which always feels better. (I spent the entire summer in negative heel type sandals.) I wish they came in purple!

I loved the look of these boots. I mostly wanted them because of more support on my ankles and I loved the extra height. It makes me stand tall and not slump as much as I do in flats. I am a 7-7.5 so I ordered a 7.5-8. When they arrived it was tricky getting my foot in and the front part was rubbing against my foot so back they went and now I have the 8.5-9 and they are great. I did find the other day when working in the operating room they are not slip proof which really annoyed me after spending all that money they couldn’t make the soles slip proof for all the healthcare workers and restaurant workers out there.

How I love my Frankies! I always wear them with socks so don't have any of the skin-rubbed-raw problems I read in another review - I don't have any rubbing problems at all. My feet are kinda narrow so I wear a thin insert which does the trick and stops my foot from sliding around. So glad for the fall weather so I don't have to take them off!

Because of foot issues following a surgery I am very limited in what I can wear. I love Dansko clogs but like boots in the winter. These seem great. I haven't worn them except around the house but they feel really supportive just like clogs. Size is like my clogs. I think they will be great.

Immediately comfortable! Can be dressed up or casual. Nice updated styling.
