I heard a lot of good things about Danskos so I broke down and bought my first pair of expensive sandals. Being European sized I was leery about the fit.  A coworker wears the same size shoe as I do, a 8.5M (so she says) and her toes were HANGING ACROSS THE EDGE! So, I checked Amazon fit and it suggested an 8.5 as well so I ordered a size 39.... ugh.

CON: I should have taken a picture, because for me they are a tad smaller than I like to wear my sandals.  My heels were right at the back edge and my toes were just behind the front end when standing with my full weight on the shoe.  I prefer a little extra length so it doesnt loook like Im trying to wear someone elses shoe. Im not too convinced the next size up (40) which is 9.5-10 would work either according to my American shoe-size brain, so I returned them.  But I was determined to figure this thing out and saw a foot chart that also included the foot length as well to see how it compares with the European chart for better accuracy. My foot is 9.75 in length (heel to longest toe) and an online chart said I wear an 39, but it also said that was equivalent to a size 7 in US shoe...smh.  No help there either...sounds like trial and error is my best bet if I like the shoe that much.

PRO: They are pretty just like the picture and would look really nice with jeans or capris or a skirt. They have that cushy feel about them if you like that feel in a shoe. I think the plastic sole accounts for that (the part that looks like its made of wood).
