I am a loyal Dansko customer... I own about twelve to fifteen pairs of Dansko shoes and sandals in various styles. I always buy a size 37. This style shoe is tight across the toes and the fabric digs into my achilles tendon in the back. They hurt my feet as soon as I tried them on but I thought they would break-in since they're fabric. I was so confident I'd love the shoes eventually that I put them on and proceeded to wear them to run errands. Big mistake since I can't return them now and they are still every bit as painful to wear. Now I'm stuck with $70.00 shoes that hurt my feet!
