I have worn Danskos for 13 years and for all of that time I've been a size 38. When these shoes came I was so excited, they are so cute, but they are about 4/5 the width of my foot. I could barely get them on, but I really wanted them so I tried walking up and down my hall. The top of the boot pressed down on the top of my shoe and I have no arches (I have flat feet). My husband suggested they would stretch out, but after 5 minutes my feet were throbbing and I had to take them off fast. Throbbing feet from 5 minutes is not what I know Danskos to be. My experience of a Dansko is that I put them on, even brand new, and my feet rejoice. These shoes are impostors. Beautiful, but fake. I hope this is a fluke and not a Dansko trend of giving up comfort for style.
