These were my first pair of Danskos, and all I can say is - I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAITED THIS LONG! They are beyond comfortable. The first day I wore them for 12 hours and had no problems what so ever - in fact, I didn't want to take them off! And the color - I thought it may be too funky, but they are fabulous! And they go with so many things in my closet - not just the browns. From now on when hubby asks "what do you want for your birthday/Christmas/etc." I know what my answer is gonna be - more Danskos!
