The Dansko brand came recommended to me from many friends.  I have chronic patellofemoral syndrome (knee cap won't track properly), and I still continue my active lifestyle.  I have low/no arches, and have been wearing my gym shoes to work.  I got a pair of these and I have to tell you I'm in love!  It's like a little massage on my feet.  I would recommend to those reviewers who are too lazy to return a pair that does not fit to NOT give bad reviews because you don't want to return them.  You do a disservice to Amazon as well as to Dansko.  I'm going to get another pair of these shoes!
