Customer Reviews Dansko Odina

I tried so hard with these shoes. They're beautiful. The perforations make a wave-like pattern, the outersole is off-white in that not-so-bright kind of way, and they look a tad more sophisticated than most of the black slipons available right now. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the fit right. The heel is very wide and slips off, like a clog. I like my sneakers snug, and it seems as though the dansko designers decided to keep the heel loose. There's also an odd angle difference between the bottom heel sole and the inner area. I hope they work for you, folks who don't mind heel slipping!

I love these shoes. They slip on easily and are casual but not rugged and sporty, so you can dress them up or down. The shape of the shoe and the perforated nubuck material make it very flattering. As another reviewer wrote, the off-white sole is so attractive with the navy upper. The support is moderate-very good, not as high marks on this as some of the other comfort-brand shoes, but I wore them walking all day yesterday and experienced no foot fatigue. Be aware, though, they run a full size larger! It can be a challenge to get the right size on Dansko shoes because there are no half sizes. I usually wear a size 7, and sometimes 6-1/2 depending on the brand and whether I wear heavy socks (like with Dansko clogs). I first ordered the size 37 (6.5 - 7 US size), which is what I wear in the clogs. They were enormous!! I was afraid a full sizes lower would be too tight, but fortunately, the size 36 (5.5-6 US size) fits me perfectly. So whatever size you are, I suggest ordering lower.

I loved the shoe but could not keep it. Was too roomy in the heel so my foot would not stay put. Tried two sizes but one was too big in the heel and other too small in the toe box.

I am in love with these shoes! I wear a 10.5. I have a wide forefoot and a normal heel, so finding shoes is a real challenge. The 41 fits my foot perfectly. I purchased the black. My only gripe is that the sole is not pure white, but is instead a shade of light ecru. This isn't a deal-killer for me since they are so comfortable, but a white sole would have been more interesting to me. If you have a wide forefoot, I definitely recommend trying these shoes. I hope they come out in more interesting colors.

Best shoes I ever got! I realize I really need to have orthopedic shoes for my flat feet. My pronation is starting to have a negative effect on my knees. Most orthopedic shoes look like orthopedic shoes...these DO NOT! They're adorable, stylish, super lightweight, and extremely comfortable. I want them in all colors!

Needed something to slip into while walking on my tile floors. These provided excellent cushion and arch support. Neutral sand color will go with everything. Perforated uppers allow for breathability. Fit true to size.

Aw, bummer. These are darling, but just as other reviews said, the fit is an issue. My usual 37 was way too big. The 36 was too narrow in the toe box and still slipped in the heal. Wish these had worked! Maybe for a narrow foot?

I'm between 7-7.5 and tend toward a 7.5 in most shoes but the 7 fits perfectly. I almost did;t order because people wrote about heel slipping. I have narrow feet but I am not having that problem. I have only tried around the house so far though. Too soon to say how they hold up on a long day of walking.

I have wide feet, but have been able to wear Danskos in a size 39 medium in many styles. This one didn't work for me though. It was too narrow in the toe box for me. It probably will work if you have actual medium sized feet.

I really liked this shoe. The size was perfect and it was comfortable. The problem was the gap on the sides when I walked so they had to go back. Darn!

Really cute but too wide in the heel.

Great fit and sooo comfortable! Love them!

LOVE these shoes! I am thrilled that Dansko is creating some different styles, other than the clog that we all know and love. The animal print is something that is very in and quite neutral for a three season shoe. They were much larger than expected ( a full size larger in fact) and luckily, the smaller size was available and I sent the larger one back of course. Wonderful arch support! Exactly the right shoe for vacations with a lot of walking

I typically wear a size 10, and usually order a size 41 when ordering Dansko's. Same for this pair. I purchased this pair in black last summer and they are my absolute favorite shoe. I hate paying full price for shoes, however these are totally worth it! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are some of the only ones I can wear without my custom orthotics due to the Dansko excellent arch support. I'm super excited they have additional colors. Can't wait to wear them!

I purchased shoes after my daughter found them and decided she wanted them! She was going on a trip to Europe and the shipment arrived at our doorstep a few minutes before we had to leave for the flight. She’s been there now for two weeks and loves them! They are very slick and the new bike is a good quality. They are not big and bulky and I would love a pair for myself! It was an excellent choice for her!

I ordered these, expecting to have to return them, but I won't be returning. They are great! I needed some slip-on shoes to be ready for post-surgery. I liked these (I usually like Dansko shoes) and decided to try them. I expected them to be too tight and too difficult to get on and off, but I was wrong. They are plenty wide for my wide feet and I was able to get them on and off easily, no hands needed! Since it will be warmer weather when I have surgery, these will be just fine. My only concern is that I always wears socks with shoes, I don't do well without socks (bad feet), but I'll work it out.

The shoes are comfy and very attractive. Unfortunately, the heel was to wide and wore sloppy on my feet. Super disappointed because I ordered 2 pair. Had to return both.

I live Dansko shoes. I have clogs, sandals, and sneakers by them and they are wonderful. These shoes, however, were a disappointment. The back let my heel slip up (which would be ok in clogs) although the rest of the shoe fit true to size. I can’t say what the arch support was like (although it usually is great) because I wasn’t able to wear them for more than a minute. So sad to return them!

Dansko size 42 is much closer to an 11 than an 11.5 - 12,

love!

These are great slip-ons. They are not at all clunky, more sleek and stylish. I marked the width wider because of the heel. As other reviewers mentioned, the heels are a bit wide. I didn't notice that in the rest of the shoe. Because of the reviews I ordered a 38 instead of my usual 39. Because of that, the heel slippage is not a problem for me. I'm sure in a 39 the shoe would be too large. I have high arches, and the support is quite good, especially for a slip on.

Based on other reviews, I ordered these shoes in a 38 instead of my usual 39. The fit exactly right. Other reviews talked about a wide heel. I have narrow to medium feet and didn't have any problem with the heel slipping. However, I believe that is because I ordered the shorter length. I love the style of the shoes. I was looking for something to slip on when I am running errands or walking short distances. I have high arches. These are very comfortable and have good arch support. They are also not too bulky and heavy looking. I'm very happy with this purchase!

A little tight but loosened as I wore them

I adore these shoes! They were a bit big so I ordered the next size down and they were tight. Still contemplating keeping the ones a little big and adding an insert. They are adorable shoes and I want to love them so much! Fingers crossed I find an insert that works for me otherwise I’ll have to say goodbye to them!

Bought these shoes based on the fact that I have a heel spur. The reviews said size 1 size down. They are perfect no break-in time and the only shoes that I have no heel spur pain. Love them.
