I was looking for a pair of shoes that I could wear to work, but also as a commuter I could wear walking and standing on a bus. I was told to look at Dansko shoes from a few different people who were in the same boat as myself. I loved the look of the Beth Pumps so I splurged to get a pair. When I got the shoes and opened the box I immediately could tell they were not going to fit, but I tried any ways because they were cute and looked so comfortable. I could barely get my foot into the shoe because it was so tight. I wear a 12 1/2 - 13 women's shoe size and these shoes were going back. Even though the Dansko website and Amazon say that these shoes fit up to a size 12 1/2 to 13 there is no way they would fit that size foot. These shoes might work for someone who can get a size up but unfortunately these shoes are not for me.
