Customer Reviews Dansko Frankie

So cute but narrower than my clog Danskos of the same size. Plus the leather at the ankle is quite stiff and rubbed my ankle (if I had short socks) when I went up and down stairs or bent to pick something up. Have to return.

I've worn many styles of Dansko over the years and I really like the looks of these boots, but... they hit (and rub) against the inside of my ankle. Too bad, I really want to love these!

This reminded me of the Piet style that has been discontinued so I thought I'd give it a try. Ordered it in black and really like the look. It looks and feels a lot like the Professional, which is what I expected, so no surpises there. I wear a 36 in the Professional and this fit the same way, so didn't seem to run large to me. I do feel it is just a little narrower than a regular Professional. I have narrow to normal feet so that's not a problem but if your feet are on the wider end of the spectrum, these might be tight. They are not as heavy as I thought they'd be and feel no different than the Professional there. My only complaint is that on the left foot the curve of the top of the boots hits right at my ankle and rubs a little. It's not terrible and just on that one side, but I don't think I could walk long distances in these.

This reminded me of the Dansko Piet style that has been discontinued so I was excited to order. I bought the black and it's a great looking boot and looks good with skinny jeans and pants. Has the usual Dansko feel so if a person wears and likes the Professional, this will probably appeal to you. I will note that the boot feels more narrow than it's Professional style counterpart. I have a narrower foot so this works for me but someone with a wider foot may find it too narrow. I purchased my usual size 36 and it fits fine, so I don't feel that this runs large. My only complaint is that the edge of the boot hits me right on my heel on my left foot. It's been ok to wear at work but I don't think I could wear these to walk any distance in because it would rub. That's the only reason for the 4 stars versus 5.

I bought these thinking they were a leather version of the rubber Dansko Rosa boots, which have the most comfortable insole/heel of any danskos I've worn. These boots are basically Professionals in boot form. So they are comfortable, but nothing like the Rosas. Also, since they are basically professionals in boot form, they have a clunkier look, which I love in the clogs, but not so much in the boots. I have several pairs of Dansko Max and Dansko Maria boots, and love the bootie style of those, but these are much clunkier.

I find these clogs overall very comfortable. I had a toe injury and needed shoes with lots of room for my toes, and these fit the bill while being very supportive for my arches and ankles. I find them to be quite cute, although very casual. I've gotten a number of compliments on them. I wear them with jeans, leggings, wide legged pants and even short skirts. My only complaint is the top of the boot is very stiff where it hits my shin, which can be painful if I do a lot of walking. They are fine for me to wear all day to work, including up and down stairs, but I wouldn't wear them for a day traipsing around New York City because of the stiff leather. Just a note...I usually wear orthotics and I don't need them with these shoes. Overall, I highly recommend these shoes.

Had to return due to the goring rubbing on my ankle. I prefer the no-show sock look, so adding a higher sock is not an option for me. Otherwise, the exceptional comfort only Dansko provides! True to size for me, I wear a 7.5 and ordered a 38.

Slips in the heel and gives me blisters. I bought this to replace the Becka, but this boot is not nearly as comfortable.

I have a high arch and high instep and the top of my foot was immediately uncomfortable in this shoe so I’m returning it. I didn’t wear it for more than a minute

Beautiful little boots but felt rock hard stiff and difficult to get on and take off. Cannot wear these and endure the suffering.

I love Dansko and have several pair (I'm a size 11), but this one felt a bit shorter than normal (particularly for a boot) and the arch support was a bit off. It may have been okay in an 11 1/2, but their sizes don't go that high. The quality of the shoe is great, so if you run between sizes and can go one larger and don't have super high arches, this could still be a good shoe for you.

I love this boot but had to return because it would slip off my heel just enough to inch my socks down, which was ultimately uncomfortable. I tried all different socks and had same result. Even tried walking around the house in them with bare feet and it did same thing but against bare skin. Very bummed because they are super comfortable and really stylish. And they look great with so many things.

The size is accurate, but the cut of this means that you can feel the upper sticking into your ankle at the front. Some other reviewers mentioned this, but I assumed they meant on the side. It's very odd and not comfortable. It's too bad because they are nice otherwise, but I will have to return them. Maybe if you only wore these with heavy socks it might be fine, but it was annoying right away for me.

I need a zipper to get it on. Too hard for me to put on.

I love these booties but they're too big. Unfortunately, the 36 is too big and these shoes, like most Danskos, do not come in a 35. Boo hoo! The footbed is like a clog. In fact, they're exactly (and I mean exactly!) like my Sanita black oiled clogs, size 35, which I love.

I'm a true size 12 and these are too short for me. My toes go right to the end. i'd say they are perfect for a size 11 with socks, or an 11.5 without socks.

Big and clunky and very stiff. I was hoping for something that looked more like a boot, but these were not it!

Totally loved the look and comfort of this shoe but after 3 tries to get a pair without little screws poking into the heel cushion it was a no go. The last pair that I ordered looked as though someone had cut the screw heads off in an attempt to get rid of the pain. I can’t believe that no one else is reviewing about this problem. Definitely a production flaw!

I really liked the look and fit of these boots, but they were just way too hard to put on and take off. Looking for a replacement for my old Dansko lace-up oxfords that they don't make anymore but, sadly, these are not them.

Sorry these aren’t keepers, but they rubbed uncomfortably around my ankles. Decided to go with the Barbara style instead- not as stiff and has a zipper side.

I am working in regular Dansko clogs for 12 years now and standing 8-13 hrs daily. I wanted to try a different style. Ordered the Frankie and the Barbara booties. I did order 1 size down from the clogs. Frankie were comfortable, however, they were harder leather and cutting my front ankle while walking around the house. They might break in later, but I returned them for that much money, they have to be perfect. Luckily Dansko Barbara boots were and looked great also.

I usually order a size 38 in Dansko and these fit well with nice support, but the leather is very firm, so the breaking-in I'm used to did not seem like it would be a sure thing. These boots are made for standing, not walking, as the tops dug into my shin with each stride. So they were returned.

I have an old pair of Dansko boots sort of like this and they are wearing out. My dog chewed the top of the ankle and I had been repaired and still wear them probably three days a week and I work at a standup workstation and walk a lot. This boot has a funny arch bump that is very near the rear of the boot near your heel. Perhaps it would work itself out and feel better but I’m too nervous to keep them and take that risk.

I am a Dansko fanatic but these didn't work for me. I was looking for a slightly more upscale version of the classic Dansko clogs that I love -- but which, let's face it, are a bit frumpy. These had the look I wanted but the front edge of the upper "cuff" of the boot cut into my ankle/lower leg when I walked, and the leather was so stiff I didn't think it was a problem that would go away, even with wear. Sadly I am returning them.

I liked the style. The fit was, for me, about 1/2 size large. The arch was horrible, way too high, and was actually painful. I returned.
