The shoes have wonderful arch support and work great for plantar fasciitis. The shoes have very hard soles and are loud when you walk on cement or a hard wood surface. The problem with these shoes showed up after wearing them for 3 weeks. I finally wore them outside for about 3 days. They work great but they started to squeak. The squeaking keeps getting louder every time I wear them. After 5 days the squeaking is louder than the hard sole sound. People have started turning and looking at my shoes when I walk by. I do not understand why such a good product would squeak when worn. It makes me wonder if I have a defective pair of shoes. If you purchase these shoes be sure to wear them outside everyday for several consecutive days to make sure your pair does not do the same thing. Such an inconvenience for this quality shoe.
Updated: I ordered a replacement pair in the same color and after 3 weeks the exact same thing is happening. If you are going to order these I suggest not the Taupe because it has happened twice. I am not sure if I am getting seconds or why this is happening. If these are seconds the product should state that. I am not satisfied with the product because as soon as you get the shoes broke in this is happening. I would not recommend purchasing these shoes. If you are going to purchase them go directly to Dansko because these is something wrong with the quality of these shoes.
