Peony Sneaker (Women)

I have several different styles of Dansko already and wanted to try these for when I walk and exercise. I ordered my usual size and they are true to size. I need more arch support and these are just what I needed! The color Navy is beautiful, I am still getting used to the 'bungee' laces which are quite different but mostly stay tied. They also came with an additional pair of laces, which was nice. If someone had a really wide foot, I would say these would be too narrow. I prefer wide width, but can wear some regular width and am able to do so with this pair. I also have very narrow heels and there is some slippage (standard for me) but I like the cushion around the heel and it comes up higher than standard so it is very comfortable. I plan to take them on a vacation where it is very warm and hoping the mesh will be breathable and comfortable. I wish I could give 5 stars but they do 'squeak' when walking. Not sure why?? but annoying! But, I like all the other features I decided I could live with it and maybe it will not be so bad...!

I was really looking forward to getting these walking shoes. They are a great looking shoe, but sadly they are just too big all over. Made my feet look very longish and I feel like I could easily walk right out of them. I even walked around the house for a couple hours, thinking………maybe! But now I think maybe a size down would have been the better choice. ( if only that was available, since it is not, I may never know ) So I have no choice but to return them.

I just saw these in store and after considering a different athletic shoe I decided to purchase Dansko. This ties, but is also made to slip on. Very comfortable, attractive, great support, good price point. My only concern is the stretch laces, which allow for easy slip on or tieing, but the stretch may not allow for tightening the tie across your foot. Appears women were involved in the design & function.
