I love Dansko, but I don't love these shoes. They look fantastic and the usual quality is there--though I wish they hadn't started making the insides of the shoes out of this stuff that gets dirty and smelly after a while. But the uppers just aren't as comfortable as I'd hoped: They rub and cause redness in spots on the top of my feet if I'm walking a lot. I like the open backs, but they are a bit difficult to drive in because they slip.
