I wanted a Mary Jane style shoe I could wear through the cooler months here in Texas, and I love my Dansko sandals so I looked for a style in the Dansko brand. These shoes looked like they could be worn with either jeans or dress pants. I ordered them in 39 which is the size I have in my sandals. Sadly, with a closed toe, they were too small. My toes were crushed up against the end of the shoe, so I had to reorder in a 40. I'm enjoying this style in the new size, however, and I have them both black and brown.
