I bought these because i'm a Dansko lover, pregnant, and it's summer. I thought they'd be comfortable, versatile, and cool. They meet most of those requirements with ease. They are great with anything--jeans, shorts, dresses, and skirts! Yay! They fit the cool-for-the-summer-I-wear-boots-90% of the time requirement. Their only downfall is the comfort level. on a scale from 1-10 they are about a 6 or 7. I've worn alot of dansko's and these are the most uncomfortable i've had. BUT--keep in mind, I'm pregnant, achy, and prone to complain about my feet to begin with. Overall i'm glad i bought them.
