I have fairly wide feet and have both the dansko season (love them!!!) and the dansko Sam (eh). These run more true to size than the sam which were narrower and dig into the tops of my feet. These shoes do not dig into my feet, they feel lighter than most dansko and they required absolutely zero break in time. I love them. I ordered the cinnamon and it’s a lovely cognac reddish tan. No regrets here!

Love this new style Dansko for spring and summer.......looks great on the foot. I like the rounded toe, which gives the shoe a feminine look without the "clog style" appearance. Roomier than the Dansko Sam sandal....Betsey is somewhat longer and wider. I ordered the 38 (my usual size) in black and the fit is perfect. Will be ordering more colors.

I have worn down Danskos for years and really liked the comfort of these but after only having them for about five months they are falling apart. Very very disappointed in the quality..

After sizing down from 37M to 36M, the ankle strap was no longer too loose. But the width was now too narrow and pinched my bunion. The width of the 37M was almost perfect though. I have emailed Dansko customer service to request they make closed toe sandals in wide widths as I could not find any comparable styles in their collection in wide widths. Returned and buying another brand

The minute I put on these shoes I did not take them off. Very comfortable and perfect fit. I wish they came in navy blue. They do look a little “granola” but I will continue to wear them.

These are super cute on and definitely are more cinnamon brown than cinnamon red. I have a joint injury on my left big toe and unfortunately the toe cap of this sandal is just low enough that it cuts right across that large joint. If they were designed to come up and over that joint area they would be perfect. I don't believe stretching that area would help as it is heavy leather.

My first Dansko purchase. I wanted cute new shoes for work with good arch support, and I had heard clogs might be good for this. I was unimpressed. Seemed like the arch was too far back and not really that serious anyway. I thought they were really ugly and unflattering, and the taupe color is meh. Also I had it in my head that they were low heels, but with the thick sole they felt basically flat and my feet looked huge. The materials are soft and comfortable if you do like the look and don't need the arch support. Returned.

The fit and support is great, true to size, and I love the way they look. Perfect for work during the summer. But, there is clearly a design flaw, as another writer shared, I too had a shoe come apart at the same place when walking up a flight of stairs. Hoping for the best with the second pair.

I love this shoe, but I had to return. First I ordered a size smaller (normal size is 38) because previous reviews said they ran big. So I ordered a 37. They were still too big. Then I ordered a 36 hoping they would work—but they didn’t. Just a wee bit small. I’m so disappointed.

Love this shoe! I haven’t bought sandals from dansko in a few years and the foot beds on this shoe seem much more comfortable than past shoes. I have wider feet and a higher instep and surprisingly I could still wear these. I usually cannot wear dansko closed toe shoes, but these cut off in the right location and are so comfortable! I wear orthotics in closed shoes and these give similar support. I also love the dansko smaller heels, they are much more comfortable.

These are absolutely adorable sandals, but unfortunately they felt a little "sloppy" on my foot. I have only worn Dansko's in the professional clog style or an open back and the loose fit is perfect in those styles. Disappointing since they would be great for spring/summer wear.

I was looking forward to receiving these shoes. Based on the reviews I tried ordering my true size. Unfortunately, they were at least a size too big, so I could not evaluate the shoes for wearing. I

I’ve been a size 38 in Dansko’s for over 20 years. These ran way too big and the 38’s felt like 39‘s. The straps were also very scratchy on my skin. Returned.

Absolutely the most comfortable shoe ever. I didn’t need to break them in. They fit true to size. Will definitely be purchasing more Dansko shoes in future!

These shoes are so comfortable and stylish. Received many compliments. I have been wearing Danskos for many years and have recently had to downsize to a 37 which fit perfectly. Not sure if their sizing changed?? I am a size 7.5 in all other brands.

Loved these right out of the box! I wear a size 6 1/2 so I originally ordered a size 37 and it was too big. I now have the 36 and it’s perfect!

I loved the look of these shoes but the leather in these is stiffer and they were not comfortable. They hurt several places on my feet. I have the tan color in the smoother leather and that one is more comfortable because the leather is softer. So, although I really liked the look of these shoes, I had to return them.

I never believe the comfortable right out of the box but these were. I like the cut out. Makes them a little dressier. I would buy again if they had a cranberry.

This is a very stylish shoe option for anyone needing extra arch support and a little bounce in their step. The two color combo with the black upper and the light color sole and heel makes the shoe look less clunky and heavy like a regular full strength clog. Also love the heel height, it gives you a lift without the discomfort of a higher heel. The strappy, cute cut-out front makes it feel like a sandal but with the benefit of the closed toe. Really love this shoe - this is my second pair.

These shoes are wonderful and I find them very attractive! They remind me of the first pair I bought about 20 years ago. I ordered my regular size in a clog, 37, and the fit is perfect. They are very supportive and comfortable, I have Morton's Neuroma in one foot and the memory foam and toe splay are terrific; I can walk for hours in them. I ordered black and am trying to decide between Taupe and Cinnamon. Also, a lovely transition shoe for spring-like weather.

Super cute but I had to return. The toe covering part was a little low and cut into my feet. They are a little swollen from pregnancy so I may buy after to try once that goes away. Length was great as far as fit — I’m normally size 8 and 37 was great for me, I ordered size smaller based on reviews.

The fit and comfort were fine on this shoe, but I returned it because of the color. I ordered the tan and it looked tan in the online photo. The shoe was more of a yellow/gold color
