I'm not sure what Dansko considers 'wide width', but they are way off base.  I wore them around the house to 'stretch' them out before wearing them on shift, but that didn't stop my toes and the tops of my feet from falling asleep 3 hours into my 12 hour shift.  I bought a pair of shoe expanders and tried to stretch them out, but to no avail.  Very disappointed- I knew it was risky buying shoes on-line, so I ended up giving them to a fellow co-worker.
Will not buy this brand without trying on first.
