This looks like it will be my fall/winter mainstay. I have difficult feet and need a non-flexible shoe. I am very tired of the clogs--this is closer to a dress-for-work shoe. It's comfortable, it fits, and my dress shoe orthotic fits inside. A winner.

This has quickly become my new favorite shoe. Dansko has outdone itself! These are sleek and very attractive in the grey nubuck, cushy in the footbed, and they have all the great support one expects from Dansko. I ordered my usual Dansko size and they fit like a glove; more like a normal shoe would fit and less like a clog. They are a pleasure to walk in or stand in for long periods of time. And they give me some added height without any strain to my back. Would highly recommend.

I originally ordered the Prima but was disappointed by the pointier toe and narrow width. I decided to try the Tenley and compare the two at home before sending anything back. The Tenley has a rounder toe (which I like) but it was so small that I could barely fit my foot in. I have never had this sizing issue with Dansko in the past. I usually wear a solid size 10 (40) in Dansko but chose the 41 based on some of the other reviews about the Prima running small. Apparently, I will need to go even higher. So, both pairs will need to go back immediately. I will be ordering a larger size in the Tenley, I'm just getting burned out on having to wait for shoes to arrive in the mail.

I LOVE these shoes! I have a very hard foot to fit; narrow width and heel, "hammertoe" on one foot, and I wear a 5.5. These shoes have room in the toe box and cover enough of the top of my feet that I don't "walk out of them". I love the slimmer look of these compared to my other Dansko shoes. I hope they will continue to make more styles like this one!

I was disappointed twice by these shoes. There will be no third try. I had previously ordered these shoes in the size that I always wear in Danskos but that was a full size too small. I sent that pair back and had to try several times to catch them in stock in the larger size since they were always gone right after I got an email saying that they were back in. I finally got a chance to order again and they arrived today - the larger size fit fine and I was excited - until I looked more closely at the shoes themselves. I have never seen a pair of Danskos so poorly constructed - where the leather is stitched all around the shoe, there are raw edges sticking out, places where there are flaps where the pieces come together and a few places where the stitching almost did not even catch the leather at all. I can only hope that this pair was a fluke and not reflective of Dankso lowering their quality, but they are sure not worth the price I just paid for these. I am really frustrated by this letdown, although I am glad for Zappos' customer service through the whole process.

I ordered 4 different shoes before I finally got this little gem. These have the Dansko support you are used to, but they are not "hard" like the clogs. They look nice with work pants and my feet do not hurt after 8 hours of teaching. They are true to size. Don't exhaust yourself with reviews. If you wear Dansko, you will like them.

Very cute shoes, and extremely comfortable, with great arch support. They are keepers for sure. For those who are trying to decide about sizing, they run pretty small. In US sizes, I wear an 8, and my feet are neither especially wide nor particularly narrow. In the Dansko sizing, I had to decide between a 7.5-8, or an 8.5-9. I picked the larger size, even though it should be 1/2 to 1 full size too large...but they actually fit pretty snug across the arch of my foot. I couldn't go smaller at all. So, I strongly recommend ordering the next size up.

I want to love this shoe. It's pretty, looks great, feels good except there's so little arch support. I have high arches and these don't support them, though I love the feel of the leather and the styling of this shoe. Feminine and pretty.

Seemed slightly snug when I first tried them on, but I know Dansko shoes require a little bit of breaking in. So I took them to work to wear around the office for a little while. They felt so good that I wore them for 13 hours straight, and only took them off to go to sleep. Wore them all day again a couple days later. They're OK with a skirt, great with pants. The bottoms of my pant legs don't get caught in these shoes like they do in some other Dansko clogs. Looks cute with jeans, too. I'm looking forward keeping and wearing these for a very long time!

These are the Danskos I wear with socks and jeans. They are my every day, running errands, walk while sightseeing Danskos. I learned that the Dansko style names that start with a T have the correct foot bed for my shape of foot so I was delighted to find these stylish Tenleys in black and brown. Because I wear them with hand knitted wool socks, I ordered one size up which is a 41. I probably could have gotten by with a 40 but I think they would've stretched out.

A comfortable, solid shoe. I found some other Dansko clogs to be more attractive, but the fit wasn't as good -- too small or too large. It took me three tries to get a pair that was just right.

I was looking for a sleeker shoe than the clog and the Tenley ticks all the boxes. I am on my feet for long periods of time at work, but I'd still like a nice heel. The comfort is there, leather is nice, heel height is good and still easy to wear all day. However, I just couldn't get the right fit. I normally wear a 39 in the clog. The 39 in the Tenley was too narrow and too tight. The 40 fit width wise, but was too long. A half size would've fit nicely. Returning since they didn't fit.

Returned: 1. Great style 2. Footbed does not have same arch support as Dansko traditional clog 3. Size is a bit short, I have one larger foot and this style is short 4. Still a fan of Dansko, but not this style!

In the Dansko sizing, I had to decide between a 7.5-8, or an 8.5-9. I ordered the smaller size as I wear a 7.5 in a dress shoe, 8 in athletic shoe. 8.5-9 just sounded way too large. I have an open toe pair of Danskos in the smaller size that fit me well, so I was hopeful. Not so, The vamp is cut so narrow, with too little elastic on the sides, I couldn't even get my foot in. I have a very average foot - medium width. I've had this problem with other shoes with a high vamp. Too bad - they are very cute and would make nice fall/winter casual shoes.

I've worn 39 Reg. Dansko's for over 10 years (closer to 15) and I've always worn the same size. I purchased the Tenley and couldn't even get my foot into them. If they had had a 40 W or WW I could possibly have worn them. If you have a high arch, don't bother. Otherwise I love Danskos.

Beautiful and stylish. Unlike most Dansko, these are good even for narrow feet. Only the color, which is a truly beautiful black, threw me. I wish it came in other colors. Highly recommend and hope that Dansko continues making shoes for narrow feet as well, especially with the kind of detailing that Tenley has.

This is a deceptively comfortable shoe. It seems like it's not going to fit when you try to put it on because the leather on top has very little give (I was one grunt away from needing a shoe-horn), but once you get it on it's exceedingly comfortable. I walked for hours in these shoes shortly after buying them. I couldn't believe how comfortable they were and how stylish. I love them. I will definitely buy Dansko again.

Finally - Dansko is making shoes that look a bit 'dressier'. I love the Dansko shoes, but the clogs are just not appropriate for the office. These shoes are great - very comfortable and stylish. They look good with a business suit, and I travel a lot so they are great for the airport.

I had always worn size 39 in Danskos back when Sarnita owned them, but the last time I ordered the clogs they were tight over the top of my foot. The reviews said it was true to size and I am a 9, so I ordered the 39 size but it also was tight on the top of my foot. I reordered them in a 40 and it was no longer tight on the top of my foot but the heel part slips up and down, but the shoe still is firmly on my foot. They are very comfortable and a bit fancier looking then the typical Dansko professional clog style which is what I was looking for.

This is the BEST shoe I've ever worn. It feels like it was custom made for my foot. Excellent support. Excellent comfort. Purchasing a second pair just because I like them so much.

love the shoe but sadly neither the 39 nor the 40 fit (39 too small 40 too big) I loved the mary jane style of Danskos, but the clogs just dont fit properly. sad.

These were great from the first. The only issue was they squeaked on my wood floors at home, but were fine on tile at work. The insoles are a new kind compared to my previous clogs. This new insole is super-cush.

I've been wearing these shoes most every day for a year! Originally bought as my work shoes but couldn't resist putting them on every morning. They are so comfortable, fit so well and with occasional polishing so long lasting. They go with any outfit, professional, dressy or casual. I came looking for them today hoping they were made in another color. Alas, no. Dansko has been my brand for 12 years. Whenever I cheat on Dansko, the plantar fasciitis comes back with a vengeance! They are good medicine!

Very pretty color, texture for a more dressy Dansko. These are a bit snug but so perfect for that added Classy that I decided to keep them even though I also got at the same time some silver-gray (simila color) leather Dansko's. I just don't wear these for dancing or walking like I do my other Dansko!! Great different look and style they came up with.
