Customer Reviews Dansko Henriette

I bought this for a trip to Europe. Wore it on the plane over and back and all over Paris and Florence. Logged miles and miles in these shoes. They are narrower than the traditional Dansko, which was good for me. The no-tie shoestrings were great for quick on and off during travel, but they held secure when I tightened them. They are not particularly cute but certainly not ugly, fine for jeans and pants. If you were super committed to running on your vacation these would be ok for short runs. They also worked great for running through the airport to catch a plane! I would not wear them with a dress. The only thing I would do to improve them is make them waterproof. We had a lot of rain and they did get wet. Because they are fabric the water seeps through pretty quickly. I sprayed liberally before the trip with a waterproof spray and that helped.

I ware an 8 I bought the 71/2-8, they are at least a half size to small. If you have bad heels these would be great. lots of heal padding, I have flat feet and these are not good, they allow my ankle to roll in otherwise nice shoes

Overall I liked how the shoe looked. However, it did not fit my arch at all. I ordered size 8.5-9 based on other reviews that said it ran small. I should have ordered 7.5-8 but I still don't think it would have fit. It felt wide to me and I had to cinch it quite a bit for it to stay put. I have narrow heels and need a roomy toe box.

I usually wear a 38 in Dansko but this model I had to get a 39. Runs a little narrow. Better than their traditional clog!

I ran upon these after trying several other low profile runners to wear with scrubs and leggings, with no luck. I needed something supportive, but not bulky. I was thrilled to see a favorite brand offered a possible option. I have a pretty wide foot, so ordered my regular Dansko size in a wide. Other reviews stated they’d be too small. Unfortunately, they were too big. While I’m accustomed to the heel slip in my clogs, I can’t have that in my runners. Ended up going to a local store to try on other sizes to expedite time and in the end, the size that fit wasn’t available on Zappos, so I purchased in store instead. That said, it was my regular Dansko size, no wide. They’re a bit tight across the top of my foot, but having experience with the brand, I know that will subside soon.

I reviewed these before wearing all day. If you’re expecting the usual Dansko support, these don’t possess that. My clogs are way more supportive and my feet/legs began to hurt at the end of the day. They are cushioning, but that’s about it. The arch support just isn’t there.

I wrote before that the quality of this shoe is not what I expected from Dansko. This shoe lacks the eye to detail that I expect from Dansko. I have owned many Dansko ‘sneakers’. I like that they don’t have huge soles which would only add to my mobility issues. My sneakers usually last a long time (and I walk about 3-5 miles a day). These felt cheap and are already losing the connective ‘ribbons’ that wrap around the shoe. The laces were very stiff and the adjustment piece was almost unopenable meaning that adjusting the laces was difficult. The laces on the right shoe are also shorter than usual and after they are adjusted I can’t tuck the laces under the crossover laces because they are too short. All in all, these shoes have been a huge disappointment. The shoes on the right are an old pair. You can see the suede straps that are around the laces. Which help hold everything place. On the left are the new Danskos which lack any material under the laces to stabilize the shoe. Before this order, I would have recommended Dansko sneakers to everybody but now I’m not sure. They seem to be slipping in their construction and reliability.

Love the style and color. The fit on a 39 is very narrow and when I sized up to 40 they were too long.

Not as comfortable as other Dansko shoes I own. This slip on without ties is very trendy, but for someone who has had multiple foot surgeries, it doesn't work as well.

I had such high hopes, but sadly these shoes did not work out. They have good arch support and fit my wide feet nicely. My only issue was that the top of my left big toe rubbed painfully against something sharp and hard. It was too uncomfortable to keep them. Disappointed.

At bottom, this is a clog. There's a hard strength to the shoe that is different than a sneaker. Which is okay by me, at least for one pair. The arch support was less than I need, so I put in my orthotics, which adds to the cloggy feel, of course. But after one brief walk, I think I'm keeping these.

The stripes that appear to be a sporty design element in the photos of this shoe is, in part, a strange plastic trim unattached to the fabric that gives a very rigid feel to this shoe. Maybe some wearers won't be bothered by the overall stiffness of the shoe, but this odd exoskeleton looked and felt like trouble to me. There is no "give" at all in the width of this shoe, so if you expect a shoe to stretch or otherwise mold to your foot, keep looking. It's not the shoe for you.

Nice shoe. Ordered a wide width in this since Dansko's tend to run narrower than what I regularly buy. A bit tight in the toe box and very loose in the heel (future blisters for sure). There is a seam on the left side of the toe box that made them unwearable for me. Don't know if that would affect those with narrower feet.

I have a the Danko Honor shoes and hoped the Henriette would be the same. Close but no. They were too snug on the top of the foot where the Honor fits like a glove. Going back.

This was the third pair I exchanged of Dansko's trying to find a fit like the ones I bought in 2021. I thought back in 2018 I found my forever shoe in Dansko's- but they must be trying to save money by reducing material in their shoes. It's very clear when I compare these shoes to the exact model I bought in 2021 that they've shrunk their sizes. I bought a 38 regular width with plenty of room in the toe box- now my feet are in pain after an hour in the WIDE width- that is only available in black. I thought I'd make the sacrifice in color so I could achieve the comfort I found on these shoes for 6+ years- but apparently Dansko's not an option for me anymore.

I had the old style of these shoes in black for the past 5 years. I loved them. I did not love this new changed style. It has plastic striping on the sides that makes them look cheap. These were stiff unlike my last pair that felt great from day one. I sadly returned them.

Henriette is super cute and supportive - I have a decent arch and narrow feet - normally wear a size 9 shoe without any issues (sandals can sometimes be too loose) so I ordered two Dansko shoes in the same size 39 - and they did not fit the same. This style was too short in the toe. But the other Dansko shoe I ordered (The Dansko Paisley sz 39 was perfect in length and width, so I find the sizing choices to be "chancy"). Id order 1/2 size larger if you order this shoe due to length.

Good shoe provided it is dry out. Unexpectedly very slippery on wet pavement and cement. It was 50 degrees out but you’d have thought I hit an ice patch I went down so fast and hard. Disappointed considering it’s supposed to be a sneaker. Will wear when it is dry out but wouldn’t buy again.

I own another pair of Dansko which fit fantastic. This style pinches across the top of my toes and is tight even when I went up a size. So the length of the shoe is a full size longer (I’m normally an 8)- but the seam across where my toes bends- hurts. Sadly I will need to return these. The style is really nice! The fit is not good!!

Couldn't get my foot into the collar of the shoe without breaking the collar. I can't judge the rest of the fit.

True to size, fit nicely, look much nicer than sneakers.

This shoe feels like a glove for my foot! It adjusts nicely for different weight socks, and is super comfortable.

Fantastic and long lasting, but I think it has been discontinued. I am still wearing the pair that I bought with my first Covid stimulus money. It is just starting to get a small hole appearing on the right front pinky toe area. I love them. They fit so comfortably and are easy to put on.

Light weight awesome walking shoe. Live my Henrietta.

The fit and size are great. This is my 3rd pair of this shoe.
