My geriatric mother even said, "You've got the ugliest shoes."  And they are.  They aren't particularly feminine.  They look weird.  But dang! I have the most comfortable feet in the USA from wearing Danskos.  I own about 4-5 pair now along with Sanitas (Sanitas are not quite up to the quality of Dansko comfort-wise), and plan to buy more for the rest of my life.  I love Danskos!

And look at what the American Podiatric Assn. says about them:  One of the top 3 brands--if not the top brand--for your feet.  How can you lose?
