Customer Reviews Dansko Parson

If you’re just looking for a comfortable shoe and don’t need excellent arch support, these will probably be good for you. If you are like me and buy Danskos because no other brand has enough arch support, these probably won’t work for you. I’m very disappointed. Another pair of Danskos I bought at the same time had even less arch support. I believe there is the possibility of taking out the insole to put in your own arch support but these don’t have a back so that could be tricky. Plus, if I have to provide my own arch support then why buy Dansko? Especially for the price. They’re not necessarily the most fashionable shoes....

NO ARCH SUPPORT! I'm so sad because I loved the style and the fabrics. How could you, Dansko??? No arch support????

I was trying to buy these instead of the shearling lined Birkenstock clogs that weren't available. There is no comparison. The width was not wide enough. The upper suede looked and felt cheap. Definitely not worth the money.

Fit great with or without socks. Dansko made another great shoe. I buy from sight, reviews, descriptions because the shoes always fit my size, 38. My expectation is high, they’re not cheap and if I’m on my feet all day I’m investing in them and preventing future foot problems. Great shoe, very comfortable. I wear as a slipper and my quick slip on for errands, definitely getting a 2nd pair!

I needed shoes to be able to slip on to take my 3 dogs out in the cold days of winter. I also have heel spurs which give me plantar faciitis and the support from the Danskos keeps the foot pain away! So these slides are perfect for me - warm, comfy, and great looking too!

I am huge fan of the Merrell Encore Ice clogs and these looked very similar, so I gave them a try. While they look similar, they paled by comparison. The insulation in the Merrell clogs was far superior, as was the arch support. I did really like the "squishy" feel of the insole as I walked on them, which is a quantum leap more comfortable than traditional Dansko shoes. I am size 9 and I tried the 39, which says 8.5-9, but my heel was coming down on the back edge. I would recommend sizing up if you are are the cusp of the sizing. I am sending these back and sticking to my Merrells.

Fit was fine but the heel cup was not deep enough and I felt that I was going to step out of the shoe as I walked in it. So although I liked it a lot in looks and feel, it felt more like a bedroom slipper and not like a shoe that I could wear to walk outside. I thought there could be safety issues.

Terrific

The bed wasn't wide enough for my foot. The pad on the heel is nice, very cushiony. There was more arch support than I expected, but I agree with other reviewers that there is not enough and the shoe lacked a feeling of stability.

I bought these for quick outdoor treks in the cold and they are perfect for this. About to order a beige pair to function as slippers. They are quiet on the floors, and do not slip.

This is my second pair of Parsons. I was searching for a house slipper that provided comfort and support. The Parson style meets my needs and I am very happy with this shoe.

Love! Easy to wear, adorable, warm, well-made. So much better than a big, clompy boot for snowy days. Very modern Dansko look and feel.

Was odd fit. Left size was perfect on 36 and right was perfect in 37. Maybe it's my feet. Kept the bigger size but fit isn't ideal. Very comfy for short dog walks but not good for serious walks as they slip off easily.

I first ordered these in the neutral color. I loved the fit and comfort of the shoe, but found the color to be quite unappealing so I sent them back and got them in black instead. I would love to have a "prettier" light colored option!

This is a repeat purchase (3rd pair) because they are so comfortable. I wear them all day long

They fit like a glove! I'm using them as slippers but can also wear them outside. Love them!

The insole is wonderful. Unfortunately the wool trimming is very uneven and genuinely undercuts an otherwise fabulous looking shoe.

Wish this style didn't have the fake fur interior. Got dirty fast. But incredibly comfortable during the pandemic

Purchased for winter casual wear. Comfortable, perfect height, lightweight for the look.

I slid these on as soon as I opened the box and they fit very well. I won't keep a shoe that doesn't fit on the first try, but this one fits perfectly.

I purchased these for my mother and she has foot issues...Dansko is the best. Greta fit and comfort

This is a cute shoe, looks exactly like the picture. Feels moderately supportive, definitely more of a "shoe" than a "slipper" in terms of stiffness. I don't normally find Dansko shoes that comfortable but these were more comfortable than most Dansko's I have tried. I would have kept them and probably worn them a lot except they are not sherpa lined throughout the inside of the shoe: the toe box is not lined and rubs the toes unless socks are worn. However, the lining at the back makes the shoe uncomfortable with socks as well as a little too warm. Additionally, for me the point of a sherpa lined shoe is not having to wear socks. If a shoe is billed as sherpa lined it should be sherpa LINED, not sherpa "edged", especially at this price point. Shame on you Dansko!

Very cushy and attractive even on a large foot. Would have given it 5 stars except it makes my feet perspire more than usual.

Zappos first suggested a 41, a size larger than I usually wear (I'm a 9.5 or 10 and recently purchased a pair of Merrell hiking shoes from Zappos in a 10.5, so maybe that's the reason; I always need a larger size in Merrells). I shouldn't have taken Zappos advice--they were too big, in both length and width. But I liked the style, and Dansko has always fit my long narrow feet fairly well, so I returned them and then reordered in my true size (40). I like them. They fit, the Walnut color is really pretty, and they're pretty comfy, especially when worn with socks, so I'm keeping them. I only wish they were somehow more insulated on the inside. I can't give them five stars, but they deserve a solid four.

I can't really comment too much because they were too small to even get a feel for them.. I rarely need and 8.5 in shoes, so thought these would be ok I tried them on with nylon "footies" and my foot just barely fit in, heel sticking out the back a bit. I would imagine they would stretch, but would be too small for me even with a thin sock. Returning. I love a slip-on for the convenience of quick winter dog walks when it seems just too much effort to do more than slide my feet in! I have bought several pairs of similar Merrells in the past, but liked the looks of these. One thing to note is that they have that clog feel to them like other Dansko shoes, where the front half of the sole of the shoe curves up. I think it would be comfortable but not sure how that would feel on snowy/icy walks. Not exchanging for a bigger size going back to Merrells.
