Super comfy and supportive right out of the box! Great arch support, easy to slip on, and they go with everything. They do run about a half size big, which worked well for me with thicker socks. I have joint issues and these are a dream for long days on my feet. Highly recommend!

The shoes are adorable and very comfortable. I ordered my regular size but without socks they are too big. I'd suggest ordering a size down if you plan to wear them without socks.

Nice style, well constructed. It would take me awhile to acclimate myself to wooden sole. The shoe was too big for me. Overall, nice shoe, just not for me. I am most comfortable in Dansko shoes

Saw these on the Dansko website last fall and couldn’t wait to order them for spring. Bummed I have to return them :( My feet are slightly on the wide side and these fit, but part of my feet spilled over the footbed just below where the toe part ends. It may stretch out over time but I didn’t want to take the chance. I hope Dansko keeps making styles with this cork footbed- its THE BEST!

I liked the fit and feel of these very comfy Dansko's but not the two tone effect of the leather. Just not for me.

This shoe is so cute and it helps with my many foot issues. I can even wear my orthotic with it. The only negative part is the strap! It's so thin for such a heavy shoe and it skins the top of my foot in no time. I have tried putting moleskin on the underside of the strap, but that doesn't help much either. It's a shame since the shoe is perfect in every other way.

These are great shoes. True to fit, sturdy, cute & comfortable. My feet slide a little in them when I wear slippery socks & then my little toes get slightly jammed. But other than that all is well.

I love these shoes, except for the strap placement! The strap sits to close to my ankle, and I get a blister if I don't wear socks.

Darling Dansko - These are absolutely adorable shoes. They are comfortable, semi soft so breaking in isn't a big deal, but I am wearing them with socks because of the cold weather. The sole/heel color is a little off from the leather, but not badly off. My only issue is with the weight of the shoe. They are a bit heavy.

Super Cute - but my right foot is ripped up. The shoe is just as cute as it looks. But my right foot is ripped up in the heel and where the strap goes across the top of my foot. Of course this wouldn't happen to everyone, but Danskos usually fit me really well without any blisters.

These are a full size larger. I am returning and ordering one down. Have never had to do this with Dansko so we will see. They are truly enormous.

As others have noted, the sizing is strange - I usually wear 41 danskos, but these were way too long. I tried 40, and they were still a bit too long but then also a bit too narrow for my wide feet. Too bad, the arch support feels great and I like the style.

Somehow this shoe is a lot larger than the same size (42) Dansko Rowen that I also bought.

Mostly too stiff....when I took a step it felt like there was a crack in the foundation across the middle of my foot.

I liked how these shoes look, and the feel of the footbed. I didn’t like that they’re not leather and felt stiff and sweaty.

This shoe was almost perfect for wine tours in Europe. The style is so cute and I could tell the quality was great. The problem was the edge of the front cover hit my foot at the exact wrong place, right in front of the wide part, but not including it, so when I walked it cut into the top of my foot. I'm really bummed because they are super cute and comfortable otherwise

Ok, I reviewed these shoes right out of the box, and now I want to review them again months later. These shoes were great...until the elastic on the top strap stretched out and the shoes became loose. I have had to create new holes in the strap because the elastic just keeps stretching out, leaving the shoe not tight enough on my foot. This causes some foot pain near my toes because the shoes just keep sliding up and down slightly on my foot. I'm a bit disappointed since these shoes were quite pricy...

I have tried to wear these shoes several times and they chew my heels and the tops of the bridge of my feet up. I have other Danskos with this footbed that I love, but they are open back. So far I haven’t found a closed heel Dansko that works.

Slightly Disappointed - It seems as though everyone I know has at least one pair of Dansko's. Everybody swore I had to buy a pair. I am not one to wear sneakers or flats. I usually like some kind of a heel. However, I wanted a shoe that would look nice with a pair of jeans and would be comfortable if I were walking around the city all day, shopping in the mall or seeing a ball game. These seemed like the perfect shoe. The shoe itself is well made but it is bulky. It looks like a little girls shoe made for an adult. But again, with jeans it wasn't too bad. However, they are not the comfortable dream shoe you'd imagine. The strap is annoying and the heel is real stiff. I kept them, but I wished I hadn't. I should have tried a Dansko clog, mule, or slip-on. Anything but the strap. They're a hassle so think twice. They are by no means worth the price! On a positive note the sole is comfortable and I imagine had I purchased the right style (Dansko) I probably would be writing a more positive review. If you purchase these shoes do know that they do start to break in. I suggest you wear them around the house a lot before deciding whether or not to keep them.

Wore one time to the office, when I got home the shoes looked like they were old and beat up. Every time the suede rubbed against something it made big white scuff marks. Not happy at all, especially for a shoe that cost over $150.

Cute MaryJane but... Really cute, feminine mary jane shoe but it just felt awful on my feet! I think Danskos just don't work on me so maybe these would be great on those of you who already know that their feet do OK with Danskos. The toe box on these felt a little snug and the sides of the shoe rubbed/hurt my feet. The buckle seemed fine - easy to work with. They also just felt overall uncomfortable and my feet felt unbalanced in them. I really don't understand how Danskos work but some folks swear by them, so there ya go!

I am so bummed to return these but they have a Velcro strap when the description says hook and loop. I hate Velcro and would never have ordered them if the description was correct.
