I collect goofy looking but comfortable shoes. Dansko Mae are exactly that. I bought them for comfort and because they are not made of leather. As synthetics go, they look nice, not cheap, and do not make your feet hot and gross. And, wow, they feel great. The insole absolutely embraces your feet. They do give blisters without socks, but who wears synthetic shoes without socks anyhow? Last night, I had to run like the devil to catch a bus in them, and could both run really fast and did not suffer any pain from the mad dash- awesome! I wear them to work and then out on the town afterward--very versatile if slightly clunky and goofy shoes are your type of look.

I like many Dansko styles, and the Mae is what I was hoping the Beatrice style would be. They are a bit chunky but not clunky to me, and they are supportive enough for my high arches and plantar fasciitis! The strap is velcro, which is convenient (though I do miss the real buckle as they feel more secure). I love the look of the cork heel and round toes. I am usually a size 8W and these fit me perfectly, so keep that in mind if you have narrow feet.

It's hard to know with Dansko how they will fit. I first ordered the Meara slip-on that's more like a mule and it was too tight, so this time I went with my normal size 39 and it's way too big. Too wide, foot is sloshing around, and too long. I'm not sure I will reorder...the shoe is clunkier than I was hoping for...not dressy at all. And the footbed is quite firm. I like Danskos but need more cushion for my 70+ year old, cranky feet!

I have serious troubles finding shoes to fit my long narrow 12 AA feet. These are PERFECT. I can't believe it. They seemt to run a bit long, a bit narrow. Hurray Plus they look classy. The soles are very non-skid.

I usually wear a 39 in all Dansko shoes. For this shoe I had to go a size down to a 38.

Nice ; however I would prefer 100% burnished leather top. This pair includes plain leather strap, and the brown shade is too light in color

Fantastic shoe. I own 7 pairs of Danskos, the only shoes I wear. The Rocker Bottom style is my favoite (as opposed to the clog). Very cute shoe. I get complements all the time. Very comfortable on my wide, flat feet with Plantar faciatis. I can wear them all day long.

Great shows, great service. Got my shoes the next day. Had to do an exchange and it was as easy as pie and the customer service rep. was wonderful. It was a great experience and I will definitely buy from Zappos again.\r\n\r\nMy only comment is that I wish the shoe came in half sizes. I am a true 7 1/2 so I had to make some adjustments for the 8 to fit.

I purchased this pair of shoes because I have several others of the same brand. They are comfortable and fit true to size. They are made very well. I love them.

I bought these for standing all day at work and they are perfect right out of the box. They don't need any breaking in period. Fantastic comfort and super cute! I've gotten compliments on them every time I wear them. My next pair of shoes will be Danskos.

These are pretty comfy as dress shoes go. I was on my feet for 12 hours with a 1 hour break, and when I came home I could tell that the shoes were helping because my feet weren't blistered and my legs weren't absolutely killing me like they usually do on my full clinic day. They are cute, and once you get used to walking in them, they are nice. However, they do have some drawbacks. The strap left an indent in the top of my foot all night, and because it is stretchy it loosens a bit as the day wears on, meaning you have to tighten it periodically. The shoes fit me well, but I found the top of the shoe causing a bit of friction with my heel as I walked, even with nylons on. I have a small piece of irritated skin on the back of my heel. I think I will just put a band aid there before another long day. Otherwise, these are nice shoes.

These took me a little time to get used to, but very comfortable! Well worth the money! If you order ask an associate with Zappos to assist you with the sizing. They fit great and are very stylish! My co-workers make fun of me for the price I paid, but I only buy my work shoes once a year...they are replacing cheap shoes much, much more often.

I also loved my Timberland Pros brand shoes. Very comfortable and withstood daily wear for 9 months straight!

I graduated from nursing school in 2006, and everyone in my class had the same shoes: black Dansko clogs. While I loved the comfort factor, they weren’t exactly the best in terms of style. When I spotted the Dansko Mae, I knew I had to give them a try! I bought a pair of brown ones and wore them to work with (of all things) white socks. I received so many compliments, from both colleagues and patients, I couldn’t believe it! What’s more, these shoes are 100 times more comfortable than my old Dansko clogs. I recently purchased a second pair - in black - and I couldn’t be happier. I wear them to work every day, and I work 12-hour shifts on an extremely busy hospital unit. I even wear them out with friends, to jazz up a pair of jeans & a tee. I highly recommend these shoes!

These shoes run small, about a full size smaller. They are good lookers and are built well for comfort and durability.

"Mae" was my first pair of Danskos that I purchased last fall – I’m already up to 4 pairs! I previously wore Ecco, another fine brand, but found that I needed a thicker, substantial sole to be on my feet sometimes 10-14 hours a day. This style is extremely comfortable, and cute (and a little funky) enough to wear with skirts. If you are wondering whether to go for the pomegranate color - go for it! It is fabulous.

I am an avid Dansko stapled clog fan - I live in them due to a Morton's Neuroma and an arthritic first toe joint. I have tried other Danskos for alternate styles that might provide the same support as clogs, i.e. the Sally that really didn't work for me, sandals - where my foot slipped around too much. At last - the MAE - the perfect Mary Jane - in RED no less! The minute I put them on, I was amazed. They are literally more comfortable and supportive than the clogs, at least on me. I am back for another pair in black - for more formal occasions, and just wish they were available in navy or suede.

Bummer! These shoes are so freakin' cute and super, super comfy...but not quite the right size. My toes bump up against the toe of the shoe just enough to be annoying, and my heel slides up and down out of the right shoe...certain death by blisters there. I might try a size up, but feel like they'll be too big. V. sad. Oh well.

It’s no surprise to me that these shoes have something of a cult following. I have had many different styles of Danskos over the years and these are by far my favorite. I’ve been in the hospitality industry my entire life and I must admit that without the proper shoes, I end up with a lot of pain. These shoes have saved my life!!! I find myself wearing them on my days off. Although they are a little clunky, they still look really cute with skirts and tights or jeans. My one complaint is that the elastic in the buckle seemed to wear out way before the shoe itself, but the repair was relatively simple. Overall, this is a great shoe. I’m sure there will be another pair in my future.

Love this shoe! I have purchased this shoe in both the brown and the black and wear them just about every day. I have also received many compliments on this shoe and rate it as the "tops"! I have foot problems and had a lot of difficulty spending any time shopping due to foot pain, but NOT WITH THIS SHOE!

Very Comfortable - I love these shoes!! They are very comfortable and have saved my feet and knees. They are perfect if you are standing all day. Not really for the all day walking, but the all day standing these are perfect!! I love the look of the shoe, but the sole could look nicer. 5 stars!!

Look is better than the Feel! I fell in love with these shoes when I first saw them just because of the "look". This color is chic, sexy and o so flavorful. I wore these to work and was not that impressed. The upper part of the shoe fit great but it hugs my heel/ankle bone too much. I will give it another try by I will stick to my Dansko (professional) style for everyday wear...

Professional, Sassy and Sweet! The Dansko Mae shoes beat out my 4-inch stiletto pumps any day! Just as versatile -- but unquestionably more intelligent -- these shoes are kinder to my soles, ankles, knees and back. Thanks to this Zappos purchase, at the end of my work day, I have a whole new get-up-and-go.

GREAT "TEACHER" SHOE - I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone who has to be on their reet for the greater part of the day. I teach 2nd grade in a 6 story building and put quite a bit of mileage on my shoes. The toe box is shaped to be roomy and is stylish. My toes are not red when I remove my shoes after work. The placement of the strap allows for a snug, yet not constricting, fit. I love this shoe because in addition to being a very comfortable shoe, it is not heavyweight like some shoes with similar features, and is very stylish. I have received many compliments from fellow teachers, who have asked about my shoes.
