I took a serious fall in my own house with these on. I trusted Dansko because my last pair was so great, but I bought them 7 years ago. I'm placing this review because I'm sick of these companies that sell their names to other companies, and sell you badly made products. It's true you can return things when you buy them, but sometimes the defect is subtle and you don't realize it till you take a fall or the shoes reveal themselves a couple of months down the road.
