I love Dansko shoes. They are consistently better than any other comfort brand I buy. Great arch support and they hold up longer than my Clarks which tend to lose support over time. I only wish there were more loafer styles as I do not wear clogs or heels. Their sandals are also winners!

Really a pretty shoe and felt great on my feet until I started to walk in them and realized that they were too big and sliding off my heel with every step. Since i had also ordered a pair of Ecco's which fit much better and were equally comfortable, these will be returned

Excellent quality shoes, comfortable from first wear, very feminine style!! Have several other good quality shoes that haven’t been as comfortable and perfect fitting from the start (Klogs, Cole Hahn,Naturalizer, Cobb Hill and Born). I wear an 8 medium width in my other brands so bought 38 (7.5-8) based on other comments.

These are so cute and comfy. They run true to Dansko sizing. They are cute enough for skirts or slacks.

I was looking for a pair of work shoes where I’m all my feet all day and walking a fair bit as well. I interface with customers a lot and needed shoes that looks professional under a skirt or slacks. I tried several brands including three models from Dansko. The Dansko traditional clog wasn’t very stylish under a skirt. I also tried the Dansko Larissa which was the most stylish of the three but not near as supportive given the sole was significantly thinner and not near as cushy. The Farah struck the perfect balance of comfort while still looking good under a skirt. This is my first pair of Danskos so I hope they live up to their reputation of being very durable. I normally wear a US size 8 or EU size 39 and all three Dansko models sized US 7.5-8 (EU 38) fit well.

This is the perfect work shoe. I am a nurse, and a nursing instructor. This shoe covers both jobs. It is very comfortable, wore it out the door the first day and had no problems. the fit, I wear a 39 in Dansko (somewhere between 8.5 and 9 depending on the brand). This shoe Nailed IT. lots of padding, the arch is not to high, not to low, the width in the toe box is good but not excessive like their clogs. My last Dansko shoes lasted me 3 years of 4 day a week office work. They polished nicely down to the very last day. I can't say enough about the quality of this shoe. It is expensive, but I can't take a star away for the price because - you get what you pay for. I will be buying Dansko again.

Dansko shoes are definitely not what they used to be 15 years ago. I still have two pair I keep because they simply keep giving support to my feet. What ever was changed in recent years, need serious review on materials being used and the support they actually provide.

I wear a size 7.5. The 38's were slightly too big but 37 would have been too tight. A small insert fixed the sizing issue although it would be nice if they came in half sizes. These shoes are very comfortable. I am airline crew and can work a 15 hour flight in these shoes. They have a soft, cushioned foot bed and plenty of toe room, no squishing. And they don't look like "granny" shoes! Finally found my perfect work shoe!

The style is exactly what I wanted and it fit well until I started to walk in them and realized they are too wide in the heel. My heel lifted out as I walked, which is a problem I do not ordinarily have. Sadly, must return.

This is a nice all purpose loafer for most people. It really is nicely made, and has a classic look. I think it would be great in an office or other setting where the dress code is casual. However, it was a little long and wide for me, and did not have quite enough under the arch to suit me. I did like the shoe, and I think Dankso did a nice job with it. It is classic, understated, and well made.

I loved this shoe on my feet; however, when I walked, it slipped up and down on my narrow heels. The search for brown shoes continue.

As other reviewers have said, these shoes are slightly larger than similar styles by Dansko, and they slip slightly off my heels when I walk. That being said, I kept them because they were nonetheless comfortable and since the shoe box fit well, I knew the smaller size would be too cramped. In regard to style, they are solid work shoes and look better with slim cut pants than the Franny, which I also own.

Farah Loafers - ?More colors, finishes please! ?
Farah is such a comfortable and classy shoe. I bought it first in black, with sort of a shiny, textured lizard finish. I bought it again in black kid. I would have purchased navy, but it ran out of stock. I purchased Franny in navy. It is fairly comfortable and the adjustment is helpful (and necessary). But I cannot say I find it stylish. I call it Granny.
Years ago, I purchased another Dansko loafer style with a bronzy, snake-like finish. Don’t remember its style name. I’ve gotten many, many compliments on it (and my black lizard Farah) I wish Dansko would produce more comfortable “loafers" like Farah, with that same heel height and rounded toe, with more colors and finishes. It’s about as dressy as my feet and knees can take now. Sadly, Dansko’s nice sandals and wide selection of Professionals (and similar) are just not for me now.

I've been wearing Danskos for years, but as I get older (60's), I find that shoes don't always fit as well as they should. These do! They have little elastic insets between the sides and top of the shoe which prevent the shoes from sliding around my foot. I like a fit that is a tad snug but not tight. I have two pair of these and am considering ordering a third. They are my go-to shoes and I wear them daily.

A great shoe! I have the worst time with loafers. I need a slight lift to the heel and my heals are narrower than my forefoot. I also need arch support. It’s a triple whammy! Lace-up loafers are so unfashionable, but I get heel slip with most slip ons. Dansko to the rescue. These stay on, look nice enough to wear with skirts, and are very comfortable. I’ll be wearing them a lot this winter. Shoe fits true to size compared with other Danskos.

If you have to do a lot of walking at work, these are the shoes for you. They may not be the most stylish, but your feet will thank you. They have terrific arch support and my feet don't ache after a long day. I love them and highly recommend them.

They're very nicely made shoes, just too wide around my heel. Even adding anti-slip pads to the heels didn't keep them from slipping off.

This purchase was to replace a similar pair of Dansko's from quite a few years ago. The fit was exactly as expected. This is a classic shoe that will always be in my shoe wardrobe.

I really love these shoes. Basic, but nice! I have bone spurs and plantar fasciitis and these are about the only tolerable shoes for that.

Love this shoe! I ordered it in brown last year and now in black. I did order a half size up, since wide was not offered, and have stuffed insoles inside to fill up the difference. (My feet are short, wide at the ball of the foot, normal at the heel.) It is easy to slip one's feet inside without having to bend down and use a finger to wedge your foot in. And it looks great.
