Detailed Review
The Dansko Women's Franny Black Comfort Shoe stands out in both style and function. Designed specifically for women on the go, its classic silhouette pairs well with almost any outfit, from dressy casual to business attire. The adjustable strap not only adds a touch of sophistication but also ensures that each wearer can achieve their desired fit.
Comfort is at the forefront with the Franny's molded EVA footbed, which supports the natural arch of your foot making it an excellent choice for those who spend long hours on their feet. With its durable rubber outsole, you can expect reliable traction and longevity, even with daily wear.
However, it's worth noting that some users have reported needing a slight break-in period as the leather may feel stiff initially. Additionally, while the primary color option is sleek and versatile, the limited color variety might not appeal to everyone looking for a unique touch.

User Reviews
I haven't always found "non-clogs" from Dansko comfortable, but this shoe works great for my feet. Went with my typical dansko size of 9.5-10 (usual shoe size is 9.0 - 9.5), and the fit is perfect. Good support that lasts all day.
I was needing a pair if brown, comfortable slip on shoes. These are perfect. I own several pair of Dansko and they all run a size small. Other than that, I highly recommend Dansko, especially if you are on your feet alot!
I've worn another brand for years, but the shoes hurt my feet. I switched to this brand, and I can wear them all day without any discomfort. I'm in my 70's, and these are stylish without looking like clunky Granny shoes.
As expected of Danskos great fit, wearable right out of the box. They can be worn dressed up for business causal or dressed down. I feel like Danskos tend my make people's feet look bigger than they really are; these shoes have a nice slim toe. A little disappointed in the packaging; the shoes have very minor scuff marks on the toes from rubbing against the box while in transit. It's minor enough that I don't want to go through the hassle of returning them to get new one that will undoubtedly have the same issue. For $140 new pair of shoes I'm really expecting them to come to me flawless thus the 4 star.
Great supportive shoe for problem and normal feet. Attractive shoes.
Very comfortable! Feels like walking on cloud. Very supportive shoe
The closing strap on the side of the shoe started to tear after a couple of wears. For the kind of price this is not acceptable. They are super nice and comfy in general the question is just how long do they last… needless to say, I returned them and am looking for an alternative.
First pair of shoes I have found in a year where my feet don’t want to die by the end of my work trip. Wish I would have found them a year ago! Perfect for working as a flight attendant.
