Wow! This boot is so pretty when you get it. I also took the advice of a couple other customers and ordered a size up (I'm a US 9 1/2 wide and can usually wear a 40 in Dansko). The 41 came today and although I am ashamed of my gigantic feet, I love these because they make them look  smaller due to a more rounded toebox. But I think the rounded toebox is also why you have to go up a size in some cases. Also, like someone else who wrote a review, I have terrible spinal problems (to the degree that I have an electrical implant in my spine for pain control) so I had given up on heels or what I jokingly call "girl shoes" long ago but I can wear these with no problem. Finally, I can recommend the Dansko sport shoes too. I tried the Veda pull-up style for the first time this week and actually like it better than the Pro clog. However, I did find it necessary to put a pad in the back collar of each shoe to keep them from rubbing blisters on my heels - the canvas is very rough on your skin. I would love to do a commercial for these shoes. They are expensive but when I add up the money I've spent on so-called comfort shoes that aggravated my pain or just didn't deliver on their claims, I'm better off with the Danskos.
