Customer Reviews Dansko Fawna

Seam rubs across my last toes! Why make a seam on top that you can feel inside the shoe?! Ridiculous! Returning!

The elastic straps of my Dansko Savanna's (also a Mary Jane style) were stretched out after five years of frequent use. I needed a replacement because these were my go-to shoes for everyday and traveling when I need something dressier than a running sneaker. Was so excited to receive these. They are simple and look great. They are even a bit less bulky-looking compared to my old shoes. I needed something for walking a mile to the bus then all day at work (a slightly dressier than business casual).

I bought these in black at my local store which carries all the latest Danskos, Clarks and other comfortable well-made shoes for those of us with foot problems. I bought them because I needed comfortable shoes to commute back and forth to work in without having to wear clunky sneakers. I have arthritis in my right foot, along with a bunion, hammer toe and a neuroma. I need good shoes, but they are practically impossible to find that are dressy enough. I work in a very dressy, corporate environment so didn't feel comfortable clogging in in sneakers. I love these. I have a very wide foot and these fit with no breaking in. I liked them so much that I came onto the Zappos site to see what other colors they were in and bought the navy blue. I wear a size 10 1/2 or 11 wide in other shoes. I wear 42 in these. I am a long-time Dankso wearing for 25 years. Sometimes the Dansko shoes (not clogs) have still been too narrow, but these worked. Dankso, start making some shoes for us gals who need to dress up - not earth mother or grandma shoes. That would be great. In my next career, I'm going to be a shoe designer for those of us who need dressy shoes but also comfortable, supportive shoes

Great shoe. I am a Flight Attendant and wear them quite often with no problems.

WIDE version is fantastic! ***THANK YOU DANSKO!*** My normal size is 10W and after a few exchanges, my dinosaur feet fit into a 39 (8.5-9). These shoes shouldn't fit, but they do, and after a full day standing... nothing hurts! The arch is *perfect* under my flat feet. I honestly don't understand why they're so comfortable, but I am a happy (middle-aged) girl!

THANK YOU, Dansko, for finally offering the Fawna in WIDE! So happy... ??? I did need to size down, but that might be because I've always needed to size up to accommodate my Fred Flintstone feet, so not actually sure if these are true to size. The arch is the perfect height for my flat feet (no orthotic required). Alegria Kourtney Wide cuts across the outside edge of my big toe (the only way I can -barely- tolerate them is to replace the insole with something much thinner) and these are definitely a dressier shoe. Can't wait to pair with pretty tights!

Love these shoes! I ordered the black. Not only are they cute, but the leather is soft and they were comfortable right out of the box even though I have wide feet and a bunion. I've worn them several times and they are still comfortable. The heels are wide enough to be stable - that is, I don't feel like I'm going to turn my ankle as I do with some narrow-heeled shoes. The arch support could be a little better, but overall, these are great shoes.

I love Dansko's Matilda shoes, which had cutouts in the toes and a similar Velcro strap. Those have great arch support and padding; I could walk on them all day. I bought these Fawna shoes thinking they were the next generation of Mathilda. To my disappointment, the sole in the front of the shoe is flat, the inside of the shoe is flat (no arch support), and the style is very blah. I'll be returning these...

I love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and experience a lot of heel pain. These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I would definitely buy then again.

I love these shoes. So comfortable and cute. I originally ordered the chocolate brown -- but the "burnished look" was just the toe and heel dipped in black. It was very unattractive -- and the photos do not look like that. I sent them back and got the saddle color -- and they're perfect.

Size is spot on. Color is beautiful. Comfort (oh yes!). I was bummed that one of the shoes was defective (see image). I have shallow feet and these seem to work perfectly. Exchanging for another pair to see if I can get 2 good shoes. I thought I wouldn't like the Velcro buckle but it's awesomely convenient.

These are pretty and very comfortable and I will be keeping them. However, the buckle is not functional as I thought from the listing but is faux, with velcro underneath.

I liked these shoes a lot but I thought they had a true buckle. The shoe has velcro closures. if I should trip the velcro can break free and that is not good. Also things like hair and fur can stick to the velcro closure because the shoe closes differently depending on the width of your foot. There is a very long piece of velcro. I usually wear a WW but the wide fit me. I wear a 12 and the size 43 fit but my right toe was right up against it. I returned them and bought the SAS

Wine color is more of a medium reddish brown than burgandy or maroon. This pair has a fairly abrupt color change at toes, more like a color block than a graduated change.

Lovely shoes, but they were too narrow for me. I had hoped they would fit my wide foot, like my clogs do, but no luck.

great for wide feet and problem feet. Quite comfortable for those that have bunions. LOVE the buckle look, but the strap is Velcro. So easy to adjust. Disappointed in the grey color that is the reason I gave it a 4 star....sent them back, But ordered them in black!

I have the black in this shoe too. The brown are comfortable with decent arch support- and better with my rx orthotics in them. The brown color arrived scratched when I bought them and after wearing them a few times the color is faded in spots and they scratch very easily. I needed brown orthopedic shoes but am disappointed in the leather treatment on the brown.

I loved theses shoes! They fit me well, felt supportive and comfortable, and the style was exactly what I was looking for. However, I had to return them because of the heel. It tapers down so that it is less than 2" across the bottom, which didn't work for me. While they were good when walking on a smooth floor, I didn't feel secure in them when walking on a carpeted floor. I need shoes with a wider heel base than these have.

Shoes feel a little big at first but think it’s true to size as I’m a 6.5 and the 37 works great! Material is smooth and nice I wanted a supportive flat and although it has a little heal it looks good and feels good

I love this she’ll fit perfect right out of the box I wish it came in more colors especially in a 35 !!!so few Dansko shoes come in 35 which is a perfect fit for me.If the shoe came in at 35 in any other color, I would buy them all

Shoes are completely awesome. They fit me right out of the box ! I wish that more of this style came in my size. So many of the Dansko shoes start at 36. I’m actually more comfortable at 35 as my foot size is 5;5.5. i got a 36 in gray first. Colors awesome but I need to wear a heavy sock in my insole so my foot is not knocking around while i walk. More 35’s Dansko! Zappos Rules

I am a hairstylist with a large foot. Most shoes that are comfy in my size look very unattractive. I am a true size 13, so unfortunately, the 43 was a little too short. I am so disappointed I have to return this shoe, and going a size up is not an option. It's so disappointing that there just really options for cute great quality shoes for women like me. I hope this company extends their sizes in the near future.

I just received these in red and absolutely love the color. It’s perfect for the holiday season. I already have three other colors of this shoe and they’re my go to shoe for work. They are stylish for an orthopedic brand shoe and very comfortable. This red pair is super cute and came well packaged. They do have a couple small scratches and tiny stains inside the shoe , so that’s a little bit disappointing on a $135 pair of brand new shoes. I’m guessing they came this way from the shoe manufacturer since they were wrapped in plastic and had cardboard inside each shoe. I’ll likely just keep this pair since a new pair could have similar small scratches if they came from Dansko this way, but hope the review might help in quality control so they check for scratches before distributing to retailers like Zappos. Thank you. I am happy to finally have a red orthopedic shoe ??

In my opinion Dansko is not consistent with sizing and the company does not manufacture all of their styles in a size 35. When I do try the 35s often they are too small, especially in the width. I purchased an Opal a couple of years ago in a size 36 and they fit well. These are too big, and I will have to return them. I will try the size 35 and see what happens.

I like the look of the shoe. Not sure about the comfort in the toe area. I feel as if I need more room in the front of the shoes. Love the idea of the buckle look even though it is a velcro closure. I like shoes that I can wear out of the. Still deciding whether to return or keep. Love Zappos for giving me the opportunity to have these choses at my leisure.
