Customer Reviews Dansko Loralie

Took a whole week to break in. Wearing the thin socks helps with moisture but makes your feet slide all over the place.

Cute style but think strap dug into the top of my foot

Boring, was hoping for classic. Like the green. Returned.

Boring, was hoping for classic. Returned.

I loved everything about this shoe but had to return it. It would have been fine if the leather had been a little softer. I have a fused big toe and it rubbed on it. For anyone else it would be a great shoe! Size was perfect.

If not for something on the inside of the strap poking my foot, I would keep this shoe (probably fine with a sock). It feels comfy, otherwise. The hidden wedge is clever and adds some panache to the classic Mary Jane. Nice leather, too. Good for someone else, but just not the one for me.

Love this shoe. It’s stylish and comfortable! I used the Zappos recommendation on fit and it was spot on. I was looking for a professional, stylist yet comfortable shoe and this shoe fits it perfectly. Price is a little higher than I would usually pay but the quality looks amazing and I expect that the shoe will last a long time.

The shoe itself is great (in fact I ordered pairs in two different colors and will be keeping the other). The trouble is that the color is too dark. I didn't expect fire-engine red, but you really have to hold it up to the light to see that it's wine and not straight brown.

Fit was a tad snug especially the strap. Overall wasn’t too bad but I find that with European sizing I usually do better with a 42 which these apparently did not come in. That said, the strap did loosen enough and I can get them on. And being leather they will loosen as they get worn. So I will be keeping them as they are a super cute style and will be great for winter looks.

I love the Dansko Loralie shoes. The problem is the straps. It's very hard to find the little pin and stick it into the teeny tiny holes in the strap! These shoes are super comfortable but I cannot attach the hole to the strap. Who in the world decided to design a shoe like this! On a day when I am in a rush, I almost give up on these shoes.

I needed shoes for an outdoor wedding on treacherous terrain and these are perfect! The wedge adds to the stability and they truly look better in person than on the computer. My only fault with these, and this is with Dansko in general, is that they no longer offer the arch support I desperately need! I probably have 20 pair in my closet, and you can definitely tell a difference in the last few years. I wouldn't say they have NO arch support, but they do have very little. The sole is also a little casual, but it will work. A wide toe box helps the fit on me. Overall, I recommend with just a few minor caveats. Oh, and I got the black. It works equally well with long or short skirts.

Sigh...why doesn't Dansko make narrow sizes? This is a gorgeous shoe in a bottle green color. I wear a 10N, but have long toes/ball of foot, so the 40 was too short. The 41 fits better, but is quite roomy in the toe box. Am trying to decide if thicker socks and an insert pad will fill up the space.

I liked the look of these Mary Janes but they pinched my bunion a little too much. I’ll keep looking. I’m typically a 9 and can wear other Danskos this size but this was too snug.

I bought the black pair and loved them so much I also bought them in wine. The black pair have held up beautifully. I used a leather conditioner on both pairs before wearing to work. The wine pair scratched a ridiculous amount after one day of sitting at my desk for one day, though the scratches buffed out with an additional application of leather conditioner. The wine is a deep reddish brown, like burgundy. The black pair have been worn multiple days and have shown no wear. I am able to be on my feet walking non stop on hard floors for 8 hours and have no pain. I have a lot of foot and leg pain normally so this was a huge bonus! I did get a little rubbing on one ankle the first few days but once they wore in they were fine. Never blistered just a tiny bit red. Super comfortable and very feminine looking shoes. Also my feet do not slip inside at all like other reviewer mentioned. Foot bed is well cushioned and comfortable.

Cute. My biggest issue is the volume. They’re so deep I can fit an orthotic under the insole. Makes them flap around.

A little small in the toe box.

I loved this shoe and thought it fit well. Beautiful color, stayed on my feet, strap was buckle and not velcro. Unfortunately after an agony of four hours wearing I had blisters on my bunions. It seems that with walking my foot slipped forward. Into rummage giveaway for these shoes.Not for folks with bunions.

Super comfortable. I love the pewter color-it goes with many things. The style feels a little matronly, but the comfort is worth it. I wear these quite a bit.

These shoes are beautiful, but unfortunately the sizing was off for me. I have several pairs of Danskos, all in the same size. I ordered these in my size and they are HUGE on me. Overall a great shoe, I'm really disappointed to return them.

I bought these shoes for a business trip. I needed something professional looking but comfortable as I would be on the go all day and doing a lot of walking. In fact I have little tolerance for uncomfortable shoes. Unfortunately most women's shoes aren't comfortable for me as I have wider than average feet with narrow heels. I'd heard Dansko was comfortable and was happy to find a low wedge mary jane that didn't look like a chunky clog or an old lady orthopedic shoe. I wish I had had the time to return them and find something else though. For me the foot bed is too narrow (unlike another pair of Dankos I have) and pinched my toes giving me a blister on my little toe each time I've worn them. The heel is not narrow enough for me because my heel slips out a bit but the strap keeps my feet in. The style is alright, feminine and modest although I'd rather not have a leather wrapped heel because it makes the shoe appear chunkier. Overall this shoe is going to the back of my closet only to be used when I absolutely have to wear them until I find something more comfortable. If you have average to narrow feet I'm sure you'll love the way these shoes fit. If you have wider than average feet, you might want to keep looking.

These are lovely shoes. I wear 5.5 and ordered 5.5. Somehow, my right shoe felt a bit big (almost ½ size big) while the left shoe was the perfect fit. I decided to stick with 5.5. Luckily the strap helps my right foot stays in the shoe. Like other reviewers, the toe box has plenty of room. The red color is gorgeous.

Super cute but too small for me. The length was okay, but the top was too tight and I could barely buckle the strap. I wear a 43 and they don’t come in that size, which is too bad.

Love the gray color. Decided to keep these but after a half-day of wear they were no longer comfortable. Spot I usually have issues with was crying out in pain. Will have to have them stretched just a smidgen across the top of one foot and add a pad on the bottom for greater comfort.

Albeit quite pricey - these are quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a while. I have constant back pain and live in regular danskos. However at work, I need something more corporate and fitting for a business seat. These surprisingly fit the bill. They may look funky in the picture but actually work with a suit. Very soft and comfortable and the great arch support I know from the regular clogs.

This shoe had too much room in the toe box area for me. My foot was moving all around when I tried to walk. The shoe, overall, was very comfortable and the design is appealing. Dansko has very comfortable shoes but if you have a skinny and medium width foot like me, this brand will not work for you.
