Customer Reviews Dansko Frankie

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.

I have tricky feet and can't wear anything too high or too flat. Dansko shoes are the best for me and I wear them most of the time. I have several pairs of the traditional "clog" type, and they feel great, but I don't like how they look with my slimmer pants or skinny jeans. So I ordered the Dansko Maria, and those look great with skinny jeans, and are pretty comfortable, but not comfortable enough to be a true "walking shoe" for me. These are a good combo...footbed as comfortable as a clog, but the overall look works much better with a skinny pant leg (as does the Maria). I do have a little rubbing on my ankles where they hit, but that seems to be improving and I think that will end up being okay. Very happy I ordered these.

I Love these clogs from Dansko. I have bought many pair in the past but this is the one type of clog that has additional ankle support that I find extremely helpful. They look fabulous and feel great!!! I can only recommend

These boots are the strongest boots I’ve gotten from dansko. Very true to size and a little stiff but it didn’t take my bad feet long to break them in. Really want these boots to stick around!

I have been wearing the dansko brand for over 15 yrs so I was very happy to find the high top for winter wear. Dansko has excellent arch support and overall comfort, especially when one is on their feet all the time. It helps with back support and alleviates plantar fasciitis!

Comfortable and quality I expect from Dansko.

Love these Danskos!! They fit like they were made specifically for me—hug my foot perfectly. This style of Dansko seems more stable than the standard clogs—with the regular clogs, I have some instability when walking in grass or “off road.” Seems like I could easily hike in these. This is the second pair I’ve ordered recently—first pair was the black which I loved so much I had to come back for the brown. This brown is gorgeous! Rich with multiple dimensions of color.

Saw these on a friend and immediately ordered a pair. True to size, though I've developed a bit of a bunion since I bought my last pair so it took a day of walking around for the leather to mold to that foot. Quick enough. I love how these look and feel and support me. I still love my clogs but they can be treacherous on uneven ground. These are much more supportive. My only complaint (or question really) is what's up with the little tab at the back of the heel? I would appreciate getting a finger in there to pull the boots on but I'd have to have pencil fingers for it to be functional. How about a real pull on tab that a finger fits in?

I’m in love with my dansko boots. They are super comfortable and stylish. I love to wear them with jeans!

Great ankle support. Very sturdy yet classic!

This bootie fits like my professional clog, but in boot form. Easy boot to slide my foot into, I was worried about that, due to a healing broken foot. I was surprised with the great color also, goes with everything!

These booties are wonderful. I am a US size 7 and the 37 fits perfectly, just as all my other pairs of Danskos in that size. I am pleased with the roomier toe box, as these don't cramp my toes like other pointier booties. I find the arch support to be excellent, almost like having a little massage when I wear them. Wore them all day the first time with no problem areas. They're slightly awkward to take off, but I think that will loosen with time. I love the rocker sole and the extra little bit of height that gives me. I bought the brown burnished leather and think they look great with all kinds of pants. Thanks, Zappos!

Bootie that feels like a Dansko clog. Perfect! Ordered my usual size. These were super comfy right out of the box. Looks great with work slacks.

Dansko 41s usually fit like they're made for me, however I had trouble with these boots. I ordered a 41 from Amazon, but the right boot was super tight across the top of my foot - so much that I'd have to return them. I'd read another review where someone mentioned the unpredictable sizing, so I ordered a 41 and 42 from Zappos to compare. The 41s from Zappos fit uniformly and feel really good so I'll definitely keep them. Another difference I noticed was that the Amazon pair was noticeably more matte than the Zappos pair. I'm not sure if anything's changed with Dankso's manufacturing, but at this price point I'd expect more quality control.

I am so excited to have a sassy pair of booties from Dansko. I teach high school, so I am up and moving all day long. I wore them yesterday for the first time, and they did not disappoint. My students even said they were cute. I wear a 39 in the clogs, and the 39 in the booties were perfect.

Highly recommend the clog/bootie crossover. They fit me like my best pair of Dansko clogs with the super cuteness of a bootie. I put them on, they immediately fit my foot and felt great, and I wore them for travel the next day. Other wearers reported rubbing at the ankle bone but I didn’t experience that at all. They do need a bit of breaking in at the toe box. I love them so much aim will be buying the brown version as well.

I love these booties—they feel just like my old Dansko clogs, but look a little more fashionable. The soles are a little heavy—just like the old clogs—but they are super-comfortable and have great arch support. The first day I put them on, I was out and about all day, and my feet felt great.

Ok, so I have been wearing the low version (aka clogs) of these shoes for many years and I wanted to try this version because I think they are more stylish. I wear an 8 1/2 and have always ordered a 39. The footbed/arch feel exactly as the clogs do, as does the overall fit-my heel slips a little as I walk which I am so used to now. The only issue I have is that when I am walking down the stairs, the top of the boot cuts into my leg a little bit. It's not painful or that uncomfortable but I definitely notice it. Even still, I really like them and won't return them because of this.

I love these booties by Dankso. I've worn Dansko for years and these don't disappoint. I bought the black and they look great with jeans or any skinny pant. Highly recommend for anyone who likes the professional footbed and wants a slightly different look from the classic clog.

I was so excited to see the return of the rocker sole ankle boot! I tried the Maria boot a couple years ago, but the fit was all wrong for me (way too roomy, no arch support, weird heel). The Frankies are perfect. They have the classic Dansko Professional sole and support, but in a cute bootie style. I love the look and feel of these. One caution - the front of the ankle is very stiff out of the box. My ankles were sore and swollen for a couple days. However, once you get past the breaking in period, these are like walking on clouds. Love! I'm thinking of buying a backup pair in case they discontinue again.

These shoes took a bit of breaking. I think this is because they felt a bit narrow. I have a medium width foot (that is a little on the wide side.) I typically don't have problems with Dansko, but did with these at the beginning. I'm glad I stuck with it because they are very durable, supportive, and weatherproof. As a side note - even though they are no longer uncomfortable I cannot wear socks with them or the width will feel tight.
