These weren't as cute as the photo shows and I was going to return them, but unfortunately (against my better judgement) I ended up keeping them . . . and boy was I sorry!

I ordered these in a size 39, which the website says is equivalent to a U.S. 8.5-9. I usually wear a size 8.5 in this type of shoe, but these are too tight. But interestingly, the inside part of my heels still manage to slip just enough to irritate the skin (so tight everywhere else, and loose in this one spot? Grr!). And speaking of heels, there is no padding at the top of the heel -- just unforgiving leather. I'm sure if I had to walk very far, this would cause blisters fairly quickly.

But that's not the biggest issue. The more painful spot is the section that runs across the top of my foot (the dorsum). By the end of the day, my feet were screaming with pain, because this section is particularly tight. I was hoping these shoes would stretch out and become more comfortable (but for $100 you'd think they'd be more comfortable from the get-go, wouldn't you?), but that didn't happen. They're still tight and cause soreness and pain, and I don't have the money right now to replace them. I will never buy Dansko shoes again -- no matter how cute they are.
