User Reviews
Loved my professional shoes but as I get older needed more ankle support. These boots feel like the shoes and have rhe support for ankles. I have arthritis in the ball of my foot so walking around becomes very painful. With the strong sole I was able to walk miles over cobble stone and uneven ground throughout a river cruise on the Rhine. Because of the "rocking" sole my arthritis never bothered me and I never rolled my ankles. These boots were very stable and comfortable. There was one issue that did occur. After 10 days of walking my feet started to swell. This caused my bunion to rub against the stitching where the elastic and leather meet. I then started wearing my tennis shoes, with orthotics, and my feet got very tired and my arthritis flared up. So happy with this purchase! Highly recommend these boots! They are effective,, comfortable and very cute.
Great boots! Very comfortable and true to size!
I already knew I loved my Dansko clogs and could walk all day in them. I was trying to get a jodhpur type bootie. All those from other vendors that I tried were too tight in the ankle as I am somewhat short (5'3") with strong calves and even the slightly taller ankle height of such boots would constrain my calves or rub them angrily. Not these. They are so comfy I could wear them to bed. The oiled leather even survived a recent ocean surge that doused me head to toe and filled the shoes with salt water and pebbles. I rinsed them quickly with a little fresh water and dried them. They withstood the accidental test beautifully!
I’ve had my eye on these boots for ages, and finally decided to treat myself for Christmas. I was surprised by how tight they were due to my high insteps, so breaking them in has been a very slow and uncomfortable process. For several weeks I have worn them indoors only, then for short walks outdoors. They’re still rather snug fitting, but now loose enough to wear out & about for short periods of time. My only other complaint is that the loop on the back is too small to fit even my little finger in, which makes the loops pointless in helping to pull them on.I’m hoping that they will continue to loosen up and become more comfortable with time. I just wanted to leave a review because although I don’t have wide feet, my high insteps made me seriously consider returning these cute, well constructed Chelsea boots despite how much I like them!
Dansko never disappoints! Great quality, beautiful color and easy to slip on!
I have been using Dansko clogs for decades so when I was wishing for a slightly higher shoe this seemed like a no-brainer choice. Got the same size as always works in the clog and it fits the same. My one complaint about the clogs is the instep's a bit low and I hoped the elastic gussets on these would help with that and it may have a little but mostly the fit was the same as the other Danskos I have. Predictability is nice especially shopping online.But I hated them for several reasons. One is that there are seams right where the widest part of the foot presses against the sides of the shoe. Couldn't find a worse place for seams really. Second bad idea is the height being just tall enough to tap the edge against the shin when you bend, which is minorly irritating walking but torture on stairs. If it was an inch lower or taller it would be past the area that bends and no prob but this height just... like with the seams it couldn't really be worse. You do not want to feel the stiff edge of the leather poke poke poking your shin with every step. I'm not sure if it would result in scrapes or blisters after awhile as I tore them off after one minute. Third design flaw is the loop on the heel that exists to allow you to pull the shoe on. These are tiny, so you can't get a finger in the hole except maybe the little finger but it can't provide the needed angle much less force. If you use shoe horns like I do maybe you wouldn't use the pull loop anyway so it may not be a big factor, but I still find it obnoxious they put a part on there that is unusable for its intended purpose.I don't know how a company that makes such an iconic, beloved shoe as the Dansko Professional can make such a bad design. Very surprised and disappointed.The return process was easy though and the packaging was adequate but not excessive so I give the seller props. Just did not like this particular product.
