I am a hard-core Dansko fan as my work keeps me on my feet and running around all day. These are an excellent closed-toe but more summery option for the hot weather months. They lose none of the comfort of the clog even when you're on your feet for 8+ hours of the day and the styling is quite nice for a clog-derived shoe. My only complaint is that due to the weight of the sole (and my constant wear of these things in the summer) the elastic around the buckle has really stretched. So far I've been able just to tighten to another notch in the buckle, but I am a little concerned about the wear at that connection point. Not concerned enough though that I haven't also bought a pair in black however, love them! Very comfortable, I highly recommend them!
