I agree with all the reviews ....it really is all about your own foot how they will do for you. When I took these out of the box the left toe thong bothered me and when I walked around the decorative strap portion kept hitting the top of my foot making it ache quickly.  I wore them around house a bit and it went away. The thong portion is getting better...I wore them out doing errands...no blisters but if I thought about it I was aware the left toe thong.....so unlike my other Dansko, these require a breaking in. You see my foot fits very well in shoe but if you're closer to a half size (Im an 8) go up. I feel the support arch which helps with comfort. My hope now is the bead work will have longevity. I give it 4 stars b/c unlike other Dansko shoes its a 70/30 youll love them right out of the box but if you really like them ...give them a chance.
