I'm on my feet all day teaching. I've searched high and low for comfortable shoes. I found it difficult to get a snug fit in Dansko, and my heels "flopped". These are true to size, and they look decent even though they are "comfortable shoes". I find that they fit my arches nicely and my feet are happy at the end of the day. I wish they had a bit more padding in the footbed, but otherwise well made.
