Customer Reviews Dansko Patti

I've been wearing this style of Dansko for years and this pair was different. It had less material on the sides so that it didn't stay on my foot. So when I walked in them, they would slide up and down; not good! I measured the side of the pair I just bought in January and it was 1/4" higher on my foot than this pair. I'm very disappointed in you Dansko! You gave me less shoe and charged me the same. I can no longer wear this shoe and it was my go to.

I wanted a pair of walking shoes and I can wear outside to exercise during our cold winter. I wanted a solid, unperforated upper that the wind would not whip through. In European sizing I normally wear size 37 or 38. Based on the many reviews that said to size up when ordering, I ordered my first pair in size 38. They were way too big. I returned them and ordered size 37. This pair was also top big. So, the third time was the charm. I ordered a pair in size 36 and now they fit beautifully. I have taken many walks wearing these shoes since i received them a few days ago and they truly feel great. Also, I wear custom orthotics, and a key element of these shoes is that I can remove the footbeds that came with them and replace them with my orthotics. Going into the winter, I think these will be a nice addition to help me get outside more.

I purchased these shoes to replace a pair of worn out Dansko Sport Clogs that are probably 18 years old and were what I consider to be the most comfortable and practical shoe that Dansko ever made. I read the reviews that this Patti style may not fit wide feet or high insteps but I have been wearing and loving size 38 Danskos for almost 20 years and I couldn’t accept the possibility that these shoes would not be the same comfortable fit that I’ve enjoyed from Danskos in the past. Unfortunately the shoe is much too narrow. I’m disappointed that Dansko is now producing shoes that stray from the wide toe box that I’ve been able to count on in the past.

I've owned this same style of Dansko for the past 2 1/2 years and love them! They were my absolute favorite and most comfortable shoe. I have had fusion surgery on my large toe to foot so needed a rigid soul with room in toe box. This gives me both! I also have a high arch and a narrow heal and these fit the bill for that too. But I'm not sure what Dansko is doing since this pair has 1/4" less material so they sit lower on the foot. Which means my feet slip out as there's not enough material to keep the shoe on! I find it insulting that they are giving us less shoe for the same price! Unfortunately they have to go back. I'm at a loss as to what brand/shoe to buy now! I've tried numerous brands and this was my go to.

fit and size are true with arch support very good which has always been excellent in the Dansko line. The only reason for the return is I ordered both Black and Navy to decide which color would work best for me, which is why the return of the Black.

Very comfortable and true to size.

The body of this shoe fit fine, however, the toe area was another matter.The toe area was just too narrow for my foot. My toes were cramped, on both feet, and my big toe on my right foot was hitting the side of the shoe. I knew that it would only be a matter of time before my toe would be sore, so regretfully I had to send the shoes back. Before doing so, I tried the shoes on with three different weight of socks, but alas, this was to no avail. I was sad to send these shoes back, as they are one of the nicest looking shoes, on my feet, that I have ordered in a long time. They were also a bit dressier shoe, which was nice for a change. I had kept a pair of Drew sneakers before, in hopes they would stretch out enough where one big toe hit the side of the sneaker. I have regretted not sending the sneaker back (order directly from Drew), as they never have stretched out. I did not want to be in the same position with the Dansko Patti, as I have been with the Drew sneaker, especially with how much the shoes cost. I knew, if I went up to the next size, that the shoe would be way too big for my feet. The Patti only comes in medium width, so ordering another width was not an option.

They are perfect. I keep buying them because they're comfortable and nice looking. Better than athletic shoes for around the house and town.

I loved the show but the style was wrong for what I needed.

I'm a long time Dansko wearer and I love these! I ordered the same size I usually wear in Dansko (41) and they fit great right out of the box. My feet are a little wide and to me these look a little narrower but they fit perfectly-not too tight and I have not experienced any rubbing. I live in the Pacific Northwest and wanted a good dog walking/multi purpose shoe and I found it! (They're not the most stylish shoe in the world but that wasn't really much of a consideration when I was looking for a shoe for primarily outdoor wear. Having said that, I have also started slipping them on to run errands, etc. because they are so comfortable!)

I usually wear size 7 dress shoes, 7.5-8 for running/hiking shoes, and 37 in Dansko clogs. The 37 fit fine, but my heel kept sliding out the back. There was also almost no arch support for me, so the combination of the two flaws prevented me from keeping them. Too bad, because they were a nice alternative to the clog being slip on, but they also look okay with leggings/capris/shorts whereas the clogs I feel only look okay with bootleg/flared pants.

This is the third pair of these that I’ve purchased. They are incredibly comfortable with pretty good support. Great for walking longer distances - run a tad big but for my wide foot I appreciate that. I now have black, cranberry and navy.

I wear size 9/9.5 and ordered a size 40. It was so large that I could not keep them on my feet. I sent them back for a 39 and these were also too large. In the end, I went with Ecco (size 41). You might want to go down a full size when ordering these!

The shoes had a nice look but these ran large. I generally wear a 9/9.5 shoe and ordered size 40. It was so large that I could not keep it on, so I sent it back for a 39. That shoe was also too large. This particular shoe needs to be ordered in a smaller size than you normally wear!

These shoes aren't very cute but I was willing to bypass that concern if they fit. Unfortunately they rubbed my little toes so I had to return them. :(

More a 11.5 size than a 12. Too tight a fit for a size 12. Liked the look but will be returning. Too expensive not to fit perfectly.

I wear 8 - 8.5 / 38 - 39 M. Ordered the 38 M in Navy Milled Nubuck. They fit great, comfortable and easy slip-on style. Love them!

Love them and used extensively. Lining around back wore faster than the rest of the shoe.

I have Achilles tendinitis and high arches so It’s difficult to find shoes that don’t cause discomfort. These are quite comfortable and I would recommend trying them if you have any foot or ankle problems.

Love these shoes. They are so cute on and so comfortable. Great arch support and stability. I wear them all day at work without any problems. Liked them so much I bought one in each color!

After reading the reviews I really thought this shoe would fix foot problems at work (standing on concrete for 8 hours a day) but my feet didn't even make it an hour in my house on wood floors. The shoe felt snugger than my Professional Danskos and the foot bed is much more like a sneaker/hiker cross breed.

Typically, I am a true 38 in Dansko, but for some reason, this blue suede "clog" felt like 1/2 size to long. So, as much as I liked the styling of these shoes, I had to return them.

There is room for my custom orthotics. Always required. Did come with nice standard removable arch support.

The fit was perfect. This is the second pair of these shoes that I bought and I love them as much as the first ones that I bought. Very well worth the money. I like them too because they are waterproof.

I went up a size and too big, went down a side and a tad bit too small, toe box is narrow compared to other Dansko’s which was surprising. Love the color.
