Customer Reviews Dansko Racquel

Not only great arch support but heal comfort as well.

These are really comfortable and light. I always wear a size 39 in Dansko and these fit perfectly. I look forward to wearing them during the summer and even to Disneyworld. I wanted something that would be comfortable and dry if they get wet from a water ride. I feel these will be perfect.

I didn't care for the color.

Love dansko and these will not disappoint anyone who is dansko fan! I got the multi color to wear with anything and I have narrow foot so love that I can make shoe to really fit feet with all the adjustable features. Great arch support and very light.

Typically Dansko, these fit great with good arch support. Love the style and adjustable straps. They work great for my problem feet!

These fit great. I purchased the bright blue ones. They are lightweight and cute with summer outfits. I have been careful to wear them sparingly and not around mud, as the fabric straps may not take rough hiking (they could get stained possibly). But perfect for pool, beach, and running errands.

I will keep the sandal for the cushioned heel and moderate support, and I'm tired of shopping, but for $114 I shouldn't need to literally sew a fold into the ankle strap. The velcro stops where it should start! To tighten it enough it's too long and there's like 1/4" remaining to attach to. My feet aren't unusually thin. Fortunately I have some tough thread and know how to sew a simple pleat and the fabric is thin. Dansko quality isn't what it once was.

Loved the colors but didn't like the rough sole on my feet and the strap across the foot is very short.

I have a wide toe bed (thanks kids!) but an otherwise “normal” volume foot and ankle. This means that most wide shoes are too big and most regular widths are too narrow. I also pronate, have mild plantar fasciitis, a high instep, and my feet are fussy in general. I wear custom orthotics in shoes. I’m almost 50 and wear Vionic, Cobb Hill, Aetrex, Remonte, and the like. I bought my usual size 10 and these fit perfectly. They have enough squish and arch support to be comfortable. Overall support is good for the crossover type of sandal they are. I have no issues with the straps other than they would be better with some light padding. I haven’t worn them on a long walk or all day yet so I can speak to whether they’ll hold up on that front. The pink is great but color palette could be improved to be a but more refined. I stopped wearing Dansko clogs after rolling my ankle multiple times and had given up on the brand, but these are a great introduction into truly comfortable and stylish “not your grandmother’s” orthopedic sandals. Well done Dansko.

The cross-arch straps are too long, When I tightened the top straps, the top end will touch the back strap. That is reason I say the size is half size larger.

These sandals have the most comfortable footbed I’ve ever worn - supportive and cushioning. But, the straps are a bit on the rough side, so I couldn’t give 5 stars. I kept them because they eliminate my foot pain, and I’m hoping the straps will soften up with time. The colors are very pretty and flattering. I ordered both size 39 (my usual in Dansko) and size 38. The 38 was a better fit.

The arch support was fine but too close to my heel for comfort.

I usually wear a 39 in Dansko sandals and these fit well in that size. I had no issue with the straps as others have mentioned. - they seemed like the perfect length to me. I did, however, end up returning them. One thing I love about most Dansko shoes is the relatively firm footbed, which support my feet much better than an overly soft footbed. These felt "squishy" (for lack of a better word) when I walked, especially in the area near the heel. I could still feel the arch support, so they may have worked but I could not take a chance for the price. Also, I liked the style, but did not love it, and I did not know if I would like the plastic feel of the footbed for long periods of wearing time.

The sandals are attractive with great support. Very cushioned footbed. They were too wide for me. If you have a narrow foot, these will not work for you. They are true to size

If you have a narrow or low volume foot, don't bother. Unless you want to play around with adding more velcro and shortening the straps, there is no good way to make them fit. Very cute, but a no-go for me. I wear a 39N in the clogs, 8N to 9N (depending on the shoe), length was great but the width not so much. Regular width danskos are not for me, even with adjustable straps.

Was so excited to get these and have barely worn them. It’s finally sandal weather again so I got them out this week. Unfortunately, the foot bed is strangely sticky and I have tried washing that area several times with dish soap and water, and then tried using rubbing alcohol, but it is still sticky. It has an annoying feel when you walk.

Fit was good but

Did not have the support I expected. May be comfortable as something to wear in the house but too squishy to be a serious shoe. Too much money for what it would offer in lasting quality.

One of the back straps did not close. My ankle on that foot is swollen and the velcro piece was impossible to fasten.

I loved these sandals, but couldn't tighten the straps, so they rubbed and created a blister. I have lean feet, so I guess they were for a fuller foot!

Too big for me. I wish these came in size 4.5-5. Otherwise, they felt very comfortable.

The straps had extra length that was too long for the velcro when adjusted to fit my foot. The white ends stuck out and were unattractive. If that were not a factor, the sandals felt really good.

These are just ok for me. They are cute but not super comfortable.

I love this Dansko footbed/sole - SO comfortable! But sadly, the straps are a thin synthetic material - maybe acrylic? and the edges are quite sharp. They really irritated my skin, itched and cut into my ankles in front. Very adjustable but if I wanted them to stay on properly, the anterior ankle strap was too uncomfortable. Very disappointed. I hope Dansko will make something similar with more comfortable straps.

Hoped with the adjustable straps on 3 areas this would be a winner. NOT! I'm 11 M, and all the straps were too long. Unable to adjust to fit securely on the foot. Dansko, please! just b/c one wears a size 11 doesn't mean their foot all around is huge.
