Dansko Penni

I’m still going with 4 stars for these bc I don’t feel they have the typical high quality support of Dansko shoes but I decided to keep them and am enjoying wearing them for light hiking on trails. I’m not sure how long they will last in these conditions but I only wear them on my twice daily walks. Due to the lace system and back cushion they go on and off easily which I appreciate. Insole comes out so I may replace that at some point with an Abeo insole but not the cushiest one which adds too much softness & cushion. I do think now they are true to size. 37/size 7 always best for me.

I’m still deciding whether to keep these or not. Yes they have a nice cushiony feel and typical Dansko arch. I like the colors, but I am unsure about the fit now. 37 is my size in Dansko but these do seem to run a little long and I have excess toe room which makes the shoe a little long. Nothing is available in next size down but that would probably not be right either. I guess having extra toe room is ok, as they fit properly in width. I think the added height in the heel area which gives a few mm lift is unnecessary and looks a little weird but it’s a popular look these days so maybe why they did that. Otherwise for a shoe I want to hike around in I’d rather have something a little closer to flat, and closer to the ground. That would be an improvement for this style.

I wear a 6.5 so figured I'd best order up- wish I hadn't. These run large and unfortunately, I had worn them outside before I realized this.They felt ok in the house. I ordered the same size in another style and they were way too big so I returned them.. Love the colors, though, so just wearing bulky socks.
