I had want a pair of Dansko's sandels for a very long time, but always felt I wouldn't be able to get my wide foot and high aches into them. I normally wear a 8 to 8 1/2 and ordered  the 39 . I was shock to see my wide foot slip in with no forcing and my short sauages toes almost to the edge of the front of the shoe. But was thrilled to see I would be able to wear them. Width feels like a wide, but the footbed looks to be about 1/2 size smaller. The quailty is good with a suede football part the rest leather. However I think(could be wrong) the underlining is a soft plastic. It's not summer yet, so when I wear them I'm sure my feet wil sweat in them. The top part of my foot above the ache is tight be will loose with time I'm sure. But I love the rocker sole and did find them very comfortable to wear. And even though it's a two inch heel feels like one.
