Love Dankso. I own a plant nursery and just had to have these flowered boots. I love them. They are a little clumpsy, but pretty comfortable. A lot of people had problems pulling them on, I have a narrow foot, so no problem. I did put an insole in them for added cushioning and so my foot would not slide around. They are quite stiff, so it takes a while to get used to them. The front of my ankle was sore for awhile where the top of the boot hits. But I am assuming they will soften up with time. They are definitely a keeper.

They are cute and comfortable. I can wear them all day unlike other rain boots. I get many compliments on them. When you try them on, they will feel too large, but they break it quickly. I ordered a size down but it was too small. So, order your normal Dansko size.

The beautiful rain boots are perfect for me. I love them! I read the reviews that they were difficult for some to get their foot into, but as I have a long, very narrow foot, they fit me very well.

Fantastic shoes! So comfortable--and everyone loves the style. Easy on and easy off. Tuck in pants to keep them dry or leave them over for a great look. Room for thick socks, but comfy without. Very expensive for my budget, but my feet are worth it!

Looking forward to some rain! Or at least the morning dew for an opportunity to wear these. I've had my eye open for rain boots for 2 years and this was the one.

Great little rain boot. These fit just like regular Dansko clogs -- if you like those, you'll like these.

These little boots are as comfortable as they are cute and functional. Great to slip on when it's wet and slushy out. Love them!

As always, Dansko is the ultimate closed-toe support shoe in the world. That hasn't changed with this rain boot. Not only are they super cute, they're comfortable and don't leave my feet feeling clammy. On a rainy, muddy day, why not wear something that will make you and those around you smile!

Zappos truly makes looking good easy. Great in every way. Easy to use. The best shipping and return policy and most important the best selection on the Internet. Thanks Zappos for continuing to get even better.

I love these boots. I had no problem getting them on and off my feet. They do stretch a bit after awhile. I wear them all the time, rain or shine.

Love the boots, but they are indeed stiff and rather hard to pull on. I softened them up by pushing and bending the heel and now I can wear them. I get lots of compliments on how cute they are.

This is a great, cheerful rain boot for Oregon. I ordered it so that there would be room inside for my arch supports and heavy socks. I stay warm and dry and people always smile when they see this old woman wearing such happy boots.

I purchased these rain boots for wet weather walks with my dog. I must say they are very stylish and the colors are even more vivid than the photos indicate. I found I needed a larger size than usual due to my one fat ankle from a fracture many years ago. This was only due to my one big ankle - the foot insole is true to size. I would highly recommend these to anyone!

Love these boots! Great for spring and fall. They are comfortable, as usual for Dansko, and have all the other features we expect from Dansko. I am a quiltmaker and when I saw the patchwork, I knew I just had to have them!

I love the style of these shoes. They just shout to the world, I am cool and confident! And I want to sing, singin' in the rain, while singing on a light pole. Someday... My only complaint is that the top of the shoe digs into my ankle when I drive in them. Not a huge problem, but uncomfortable. It is not a problem when walking or doing other activities, just the odd angle of driving. Otherwise, I love these shoes.

I loved these wet weather shoes, but the leading edge at the top of the shoe dug into my shin. Ouch. Perhaps that would break in over time, but I'm choosing to not go through the pain. So sad.

I love these boots, they slipped on great and fit awesome but I have to return them because when I walk the top front of the boot hit my shin and after a while I get a red mark/blister.

Boots look great but do take a little wiggling to get into. The top portion is not very giving but I'm hoping it will loosen up with wear. Once in, they are very comfortable!

I loved the look of these boots, but they were very hard to get on, were very stiff, and I could tell by walking around the house in them that I would get a blister from the way they rubbed my heels.

Very well-constructed and supportive boots. My only complaint is that at first they rubbed a little bit on the inside of my ankle, but wearing thick socks helps and eventually it stretches a little bit. Very pretty and colorful pattern.

I bought a pair of Vail Rain Boots because I heard that the Dankso brand produced high quality products and were good for standing on your feet all day. I am disappointed with my purchase. I love the shoes and wear them to work and have gotten multiple compliments on them. But there is no arch support! After only wearing them for four months the coated canvas has started to crack (across the toe and where the sole meets the canvas), making the shoes look shotty and cheap. I would hate to part with the shoes however I cannot afford this price every four months for a new pair. To address other comments regarding them being hard to get on, that is true but it can be worked on.
