This is a much better quality built shoe that the Dansko and you can tell by the feel of the materials and the way it is made. Of course it is new so time will tell how well it holds up. I would have given it 5 stars but left one off for the misleading advertizment. I believe they put the Danish flag in the opening of the shoe in order for the buyer to assume it is made in Denmark as were all previously but upon close inspection and with my flashlight I was able to see up in the front of the toe box the stamp "Made in Poland". While I believe this is much better quality than Chinese made Dansko's, it was a little misleading. For one thing, why is the Danish flag in a very visible spot but the made in Poland ink stamped and very far up in the toe of the shoe? Hummmm.
Overall a nice looking and feeling shoe and I will not be sending them back as I did with the Danskos.
Note: the leather is much darker in the brown version than in the pictures which I very much like. Just note that if you want this color brown as shown it will not be so light. I will post a picture of the "made in" stamp in the photo section if they open it up for customer photos.
