These shoes have made me a Dansko convert. They are cute and comfortable. I wear a size 9 and usually wear a 39 in European shoes. I bought the Dansko Crepe Mary Jane in size 39 about three months ago from a local boutique. The shoes fit but after wearing them for about an hour they became extremely painful. I was about to give up on Dansko clogs until I have read the reviews that said the clogs run small and you need to size up. I took the chance and ordered these in a size 40. What a difference! The shoes were comfortable right out of the box. These are the shoes that I reach for when I have to spend a lot of time on my feet.
