Customer Reviews Dansko Frankie

Hooray! Frankie say relax, definitely do it! At first slip on, these take me back to my first pair of Dansko boots in the late 90s that I wore almost daily for 10 years. Then bought another pair, which a cobbler has been polishing up for 10 years. Finally the same amazing support and fit has returned to the Frankie. Dansko, you're back in my heart. Thank you thank you. The arch support is like an old friend, heel wedge not too steep, fit is perfect, top ankle hits in the right place. I LOVE these. Have worn them 10 minutes in my pajamas and they are Not. Coming. Off. :) :) Ps. Cat gives shoe box five star rating. (See blur in background.)

I'll start with the fact that I mainly shop online and NEVER write reviews! But I wore this model of Dansko in the late 90's and early 2000s bartendering/waiting tables. Then all of the sudden, they no longer made them?! So happy they're back. Literally walked home from work today (wearing my Maria Danskos) and put these on. They felt like clouds for my feet. Heavenly. I ordered a 39 and wear a 9M. Fit great. So much more support than the Maria's. Maybe not as cute? I'm not sure yet. Totally a personal taste thing. But I love them!

These booties were almost perfect, and if I needed them for standing long periods of time on a perfectly flat floor, I would have kept them. Unfortunately, I bought these hoping I would get the comfort of my favorite clogs, but with some added ankle support for my clumsy movements, and these guys were just not tall enough to do the job. I’d really love it if Dansko and Dr Martins could have a love child of a boot, then I could stand *and* walk with confidence all day! If you don’t twist your ankle constantly like I do, then you lucky clog wearer you, these will be perfect for long days in cooler weather.

I have worn these a dozen times or so and LOVE them! For me they were incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I have been a fan of Professional Dansko but used to turn my ankle occasionally and worry that I would eventually really hurt myself. These are much more stable. I wear a 39 in the Professional style and the 39 in these fit me perfectly. I even wear them on long walks and they feel great.

Very small through opening, across top of foot. Closer to 8.5/9 than a 9.5/10. Returning for fit.

Love the Frankie boot. So cute and pretty comfortable for my bunions and plantar fasciitis, have the same base/ feel as the clogs but those pushed on the top of my foot in a very painful way... these don’t! But I also got the Barbara boot in black and those are amazing comfortable ! Keeping both because I think these are slightly cuter but the Barbara... she wins for comfort!!

This shoe was comfortable and perfect right out the box. No break in period! I have the brown suede version and I love them! The darkening about the toes and heel counter adds a richness to the shoe and ups the cool factor significantly! I have been looking for a Dansko clog that mirrors the professional in a boot style, for about FOREVER and I was thrilled to see these! I also adore the Maria, but for me, this one is probably the best because there are days when I am on set and on my feet constantly and I really need to be stable and nimble at the same time. After a quick 15 min check wear at my home, I wore these for a 10 hour shoot day and I was prefectly comfortable and happy . I've also gotten loads of compliments on these. I stopped by a coffee shop in a very upscale , horsey area of my town, and I had people stop me on the street to ask about them and to inquire where to buy! I will most likely be getting the black version as well. These are cuter than expected , in a pratical quirky kind of way. I wear them with everything - tights, wide legs and leggings and they all work out fine. ( and I have thin legs , wearing a size 11 shoe - and they don't look ENORMOUS-- that says it all for me! :)

These boots hurt unlike Dansko shoes. They hit right above ankle and rub skin raw there is no give. Love Dansko shoes but these boots are a miss. Do yourself a favor and do not order. Hate to say but you will regret.

I love the style and height of this pair, but the size felt so small. I baught the Dansko Pro as my regular work shoes... which I took of the inserts to put my orthotic insert and it felt so much better. This pair felt sooooo narrow and small. The pair I received have so many scuff marks nd scratches all around the toe box.... I hate to return it but I have to reorder full size bigger.

I have difficult feet and I wear the dansko clogs as often as possible. However, I don't love how they look with slim fitting pants or skinny jeans. So I ordered the dansko Maria shoes to wear at those times. I like the Maria but don't find it to be a great shoe if I am walking a lot. So I ordered the Frankie, thinking it might bring the best of these two Dansko shoes together. It has the footbed of my clogs, so it is comfortable and supportive, but I think it looks better than the clogs with my skinny jeans. One does rub a tiny bit on a spot on my ankle, but that has not bothered me that much, and it seems to be lessening with time. Overall I am very happy with these and I have been wearing them a lot!

I really like these! They offer the comfort of walking in a clog but the look of a bootie plus a little height without the uncomfortable angle of walking in a heel or wedge. I got them in black and they look great with black pants and black skinny jeans. I wear a size 7 in most footwear, occasionally a 7.5 in a boot and athletic shoes and the 37 is a good fit. The width is OK for me as my feet are on the somewhat narrow side of medium width but I wish they were just a tad wider. I wore them all day today with a lot of running around, climbing stairs, etc. and was comfortable.

These shoes have just arrived in the mail so my excited review is based upon just trying them on in the house. But it is a very excited review! I feel like my old beloved Danskos are finally back after so many years of being gone - the old rocker sole, the old unfussy style (though this time with a cute ankle bootie twist). So far, I am very happy with these shoes.

Love the shoes! For me the style is exactly what I was looking for. The arch support is good but the foot bed in general is hard. After 4 hours on my feet constantly I’m ready to sit down. They were good for the first 2 hours but anything longer on your feet is not comfortable. My ankles were sore where the shoes rubbed for the first day but not after (I wear these with jeans rolled up and ankle socks on). Toes doesn’t rub anywhere, lots of room in the toe box :) In general I would recommend these! Excuse my white socks and legs in the photos! I need black socks for sure. Happy shopping!

I could sleep in these booties. I feel these have amazing arch support, better than regular profissionais but not as cushy as the XP2.0. I purchased 2 colors thinking I would only keep one but changed my mind. They are both staying with me. LOVE these. Buy them you will not be disappointed.

The right boot you sent me has been scratched and polished over. This is my first purchase from Zappos and I was very disappointed that a damaged product was sent to me.

I love these booties! The arch support is excellent. Although the soles are heavy, they broke in quickly and have become so comfortable, I don't even realize I have them on.

So disappointed! I can always rely on Dansko to be perfect for me. Looking forward to a comfy clog like boot for my upcoming vacation. Love the style but they rubbed my (bony) ankles and hit all the wrong places on the tops of my feet! Back they're going and I'll continue my quest!

This item runs very small

I really like boot style upper on the Professional style sole. The only complaint I have with the Professional style clogs is that they are often too tight across the instep and cause discomfort from pressing on the top of my foot. The boot style has the same rocker bottom sole as the clogs and are so comfortable! Now Dansko - how about some more sandals on the Professional style sole? My old favorite pair bit the dust years ago!

Regardless what I wear in other shoes, Dansko 41 fit. I like how they have plenty of toe wiggle room and aren't tight on the ankle. It was a bit awkward going up and down stairs but I think they'll break in.

These fit just like my professionals do, but I love the boot style for a slightly dressier look. Super comfy and wore these all day right out of the box.

Ok so.....I’m on my feet 12 hours a day in my cafe. I replace my shoes at least twice a year because I destroy them. My sister who’s a nurse told me to try Dansko. I finally found this pair that can look a bit more stylish than the pros nurses wear(sorry). They remind me a little of my blundstones. I haven’t worn them to work yet, but they feel super comfy and supportive right out of the box. I’m a 7 in all shoes and boots and the 37 fits perfect :).

I've been wearing Dansko professional clogs, as well as sandals and other types of clogs from Dansko, for many years, and I ALWAYS wear a size 40. These boots, however, I had to return and get a size 39. So it seems they run about a size larger than all the other Danskos I've owned. Thanks to Zappos, the exchange was quick and easy - and now that I have the correct size I love these boots. They are cute and comfortable. My only reservation is that the sole seems a little more flexible than my other clogs - but maybe that's my imagination. That's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars for comfort.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these! I've been waiting for years for Dansko to bring back the booted clog-- and here it is! I love these shoes. I've worn them constantly since they've arrived. I'm considering bring them to a cobbler to have one of them stretched to accommodate a bunion I have on the outside of my foot (below my pinkie toe), as there is some pressure on that spot. But even so, I love these so much. HIGHLY recommend.

I had received these the day before but it was pouring rain so I went with my instincts on Danskos and left the house wearing these. They were perfect! Comfortable and roomy for my wide feet and protected me from the rain with a higher heal and great leather. I couldn't be happier.
