I've been in search of a shoe that is comfortable, but more attractive and professional than a tennis shoe.  My internet research led me to Dansko, and Dansko led me to Sanita when I learned that they parted ways in 2007 when Sanita continued their handmade work and Dansko became Chinese-manufactured.

After reading many reviews of these shoes here and elsewhere, I opted to order up a size because I planned to wear these with socks.  I wear a 7.5-8 US, but I ordered a 39 (8.5-9) and I am VERY glad I did.  It is the perfect size with proper fit.  A smaller size would definitely not have worked.

These are very high quality, comfortable shoes.  They are very attractive and look great with jeans.
