Customer Reviews Dansko Mariella

Dansko's lower profile clog style is great. The one star is for Zappos because the shoes had obviously been worn and returned - pebbles and dirt on the soles and a worn foot bed. I even received the shoes in a generic shoe box rather than a Dansko box. Zappos quality control is slipping. This pair never should have been shipped and customer service was pretty nonchalant about the mistake.

I don't knw what happened to Dankso shoes from Zappos. The last 3 pairs I bought had to be returned. Either the fit was too big (I've been buying this brand for over 20 years, so I know my size) or the pair I received seemed to have been returned before. It's making me think about whether or not these are rejects sold to Zappos.

Yes these black smooth leather, lower in height clogs are so very much better. I have developed a severe dislike for suede. It looks horrible in no time. These look great and will be easy to clean. And height of the clog is lower. I have many pairs of the normal @ 2 inch height clog but am at the age I feel very unsafe and unstable in those shoes. The nice stiff sole of this shoe is a definite comfort to my arthritic feet. Would buy another pair if available in the smooth leather. No more suede for me, ever! Glad I purchased these. My other suede with the artificial fleece lining, ( not Dansko) look like and feel disgusting. Make more lower height clogs please; in smooth leather.

I just got these from Zappos a few days ago and I can't stop wearing them. I've worn Dansko clogs for more years than I care to admit, but these are so much more comfortable and look better on (IMO, less "clog" like). Wish there more more colors!

The foot bed is much softer than my old Dansko XP. Size is similar. I really like the lower profile and the cork seems to be more forgiving. My one wish is that Dansko had included some sort of heal securing feature. A heel cup like the traditional clogs or a strap that pivots from heal to over the instep so I can use it and move it out of the way. Dansko used to offer this kind of strap. Currently they offer a similar shoe but the strap is sewn into a fixed position and I don’t care for the fixed strap. I hope they have some longevity. The soles squeak on the floor. I hope that goes away.

These fit slightly larger than I expected- I wear a 9 1/2 W shoe, and the 40 M was comfortably roomy on me. The leather is really nice and soft, as is the insole. I like the cork bottom, and there is just enough slope to the heel that its not uncomfortably flat. They felt like slippers right out of the box. I wore them without sox for several hours, no break-in required! The support from these fells great on my achy feet when I put them on after standing too long in my other shoes.

I don't agree with the other reviews that this clog runs large. I'm a size 7.5 to 8 in most shoes, but the Mariella in a size 7.5-8 left my heel hanging off the back. I like them so I'm going to replace with it with the next size up.

I've loved Dansko Sonja clogs so tried these. They don't have the same feel at all - they flop around on my feet even in wool socks, and the arch support is nonexistent - perhaps because they flop around so much. Can't size down as they would be too short. Might work for someone else but are a big fail for me..

Found the heel height great for me. They do run a little long so I reordered in one size down.

First pair of Dansko’s…. and I’m not a fan. These are just very hard soled… I was hoping they would be more comfortable to wear around the house but with some support and they just hurt my feet… The ball of my foot specifically.

Like wearing slippers. Wide enough to wear thick socks.

Dansko for ME !!!!!! Comfort all day

These clogs are EVERYTHING! SO comfy the second you put them on. I wear them behind a bar for 5 hours at a time and they're still comfy!

I really wanted to love these because they are absolutely gorgeous. I wore them around the house for a good long time, but didn't want to wear them too much. They just hurt. They hurt the tops of my toes and there just isn't enough cushioning. I think I am ultra sensitive to cushioning. What was also nice besides their look was the arch support. I just think the leather might be too stiff and doesn't give at all. Maybe they would work with socks, but I don't know how that would look.

Just way too heavy & clunky for me.

I am returning. The box is a replacement box with a message that the "original box was damaged in transit"; however the shoes are very clearly worn and returned. There are foot marks on the insole (this is the second pair like that). Trying on shoes and testing them out do not leave foot indents on the insole. There are wear indications on the sole as well.

They were slightly big barefoot, but exactly eight with socks. Very comfortable.

Love these clogs. Great color, super comfortable insole. But they fall off my feet when I walk. No way to adjust them. Noticed they cover less of the top of the foot than my other Dansko clogs. Sadly returning them.

Beautiful gold color.

Very comfortable, I wear these in the house as we have wooden floors. Love the support on the sole and arch support, plus having wide feet Dansko brand fit me well. Always a great quality shoe.

Talk about comfortable ! I have sensitive feet but not with these !!!! Not one ounce of foot pain ! Love them !! N n

I ordered the Mariella and the Baylor. I thought the Mariella would have a lower heel and platform but it is roughly the same as the Baylor. Plus the Baylor was very easy to walk in and stayed on my foot without effort, whereas when I walked in the Mariella it felt like my foot would slide out easily without effort. I have a high instep and high arch, so maybe the Baylor has more of an arch as well, either way, I preferred the Baylor.
