Customer Reviews Dansko Fawna

This is a useful and cute shoe, but even buying a size up from my usual, it was tight. It needs a very thin sock.

These are generally what you would expect out of Dansko in terms of comfort and high quality. However, the toe box seems smaller than all other Danskos that I have (either that or the shoe is shorter, but I'm pretty sure it is the toe box). I'm making due but won't buy the Fawna again for that reason. Also, they are attractive enough for work, but they are not super-cute. I got them mainly because I needed an updated Mary Jane with lowish heels, and this seemed to be the best option.

Really wanted these to work. Unlike most other dansko flats, these had enough room for my wider toes. Unfortunately the toe box is to shallow for my (admittedly large) big toes, and I don’t think I can live with the pressure on my toenails. I hope dansko increase the toe box height on future versions! Then there will finally be a cute dansko flat for the ‘duck-footed’ ladies! I usually wear 7.5-8 wide and 38 fit well otherwise.

These have very little support compared to other Dansko shoes. Love the style and color. They are comfortable but I need a bit more support.

Not sure what was wrong with my initial review so this is all you get this time. I have found returns are not al slick and easy as advertised.

I am on my feet for most of the day and these shoes provide comfort. I think they pair well with my dress slacks. I loved the black so much I thought I'd get the brown, but the color was awful. It looked like the leather was stained or wet. I did not like this style at all. If they carried this shoe in solid colors, I would but multiple pairs.

These are really comfortable. The only reason I didn't give them 4 stars is that they kind of look like old lady shoes when on my feet. My retired mother really likes them... that should tell you something- (sorry, Mom.) I've got a troubled foot- had surgery to remove a sesamoid bone- so finding comfortable shoes for work is a trial and tribulation. These feel just right and don't pinch or rub. The interior is really soft and smooth leather. The arch support is not very noticeable, so low arches shouldn't have a problem with it being too high. I originally ordered the navy, but it was so dark it looked black almost, so I sent them back for black ones. I ended up sizing down to wear them barefoot or with thin nylons. I wear an 8 in heels and the 38 was the right size for me.

Dansko has always been my go to shoe for shoe comfort. This shoe did not disappoint. They feel like slippers but with arch support. Very comfortable shoe. I have only worn with pants and looks great.

These were super comfortable! I ultimately returned them because I didn't think they looked cute on my feet.

I really like these shoes. I could use a little more arch support, and I would like it if the leather were a little bit softer. But I am very happy with these.

It's so hard for us women who have large feet and foot problems. So for those of you searching for pumps, I offer this comparison of three styles I just tried. I wear 11 wide or 42 normally and have multiple foot problems. I typically buy only orthopedic shoes or use orthopedic inserts. First, Taos Footwear Virtue size 11 W: Nice looking and stylish, can be worn as both dressy and dressy casual. Maybe a little more on the casual side because of the stitching, which does however add style. Not at all grandmotherly, made my feet look smaller. True to size, stays on, not constricting in the toes or bunion areas. They were comfortable out of the box and quite comfortable to walk in, feeling nicely padded under the feet. I may have to add metatarsal pads to ensure they will be comfortable for a few hours, but I keep a supply of those. Kept, and delighted with them! Taupe Oiled Leather was a pretty medium taupe. Second, Dansko Fawna 41 Regular: Although I usually buy size 42 in foreign-made shoes, Danski/Zappos recommended a 41 regular in these for me and that is what I tried. Also quite good looking and the most comfortable of the lot. Very cushy. The fit was very good, but it did pull a little over my right big toe joint. I do have a fairly small bunion on that foot, so if I had it removed, this would have been a dynamite shoe. As is today, I don't take chances on tightness in that area so they were returned. The fit was so good I know the 42 would have been too big. I agree with the reviewer who said the Chocolate Burnished Nappa is a darkish brown, not at all like the taupe color shown in the picture. AND the burnishing on the toes made that look black, not a good look for a dressy shoe. Third, SAS Milano 11 Wide: Very good looking shoe but a terror for those of us with problem feet. They fit fine but felt like concrete on the ball of the foot. Not that there wasn't padding, but in-motion all the weight went to the ball and they felt like boxes. Won't try another of this brand again. Tried black.

Way too clunky for me but- wow- the usual Dansko comfort out the wazoo. I just can’t see myself wearing them out in public - made me feel oafish. Sorry... because boy are they comfortable.

These are wonderfully comfortable shoes and even cuter in person than in the photos. I was loathe to return them. I found a similar pair of Danskos that I thought would be more suitable for work.

very lnice looking shoes but too big and had to return.

Nice shoe! Not wide enough for my foot. The edge of the front cut across the end of my instep.

Love these shoes so much I'm keeping them - despite the fact that the strap is too short for my high instep and the velcro shows a bit where the strap hits the shoe. Taking them to our awesome cobbler to insert elastic on the interior of strap (really Dansko. Could you not do this for us? Clark, Mephisto and Josef Siebel all do!) But the foot bed is so comfortable. The size fit perfectly (8M for a wide foot) and the style is perfect. Worth the extra effort.

Good quality

These are so comfortable, I am able to wear them for my whole flight without having to change in to different shoes. The insoles did stain the bottoms of my nylons black. I’ve worn them for 5 months now, and the insoles are still slightly dying new nylons that I buy. Very frustrating.

These shoes are very cute and I was disappointed that I couldn't keep them, but they were a tad short and had an inadequate arch for me.

Actually didn't even try them one. I didn't like that the toe of the shoe was darker than the rest of the shoe.

I normally wear an 11.5 wide in New Balance and a 12 in most other shoes. With this one, I ordered an 11.5/12 wide size (largest available). They hurt my toes. I think they're a European size 42, and with Danskos, I really need a 43. I've already worn them, thinking I could "break them in" but they're not going to work.

The shoe was sturdy and cute but way too big. Afraid a smaller size will be too narrow though.

Comfy shoe but the velcro will not hold.

Good support, attractive. A little too structured for all day comfort. Well-made, beautiful colors.

Only has whole sizes, so the shoe was either too small or too large for me.
