I have a couple styles of Dansko sandals and chose this one for having a buckle adjustment near the toes and one at the top of the foot. Dansko, in general, is a very comfortable sandal. I did notice some mild heel sliding in this particular style, which requires some buckle adjustment and leather break-in. I like the "Black" in the Sophie. It's a nice, clean supple black leather with black buckles -- in fact the black buckles are a nice touch.. It is simple, comfortable and classical, and can be dressed up or down. The Euro 38 in this sandal fits a perfect size 7 1/2 medium.
