Buy Patent Leather Shoes Compare Prices

Review by Michael Dolan:

I bought and received beautiful, STINKY shoes! They smell to the point that the first time I wore them, my date commented that there must be a refinery in the area because of the strong smell. Despite their beautiful looks, they are stinky to the point that they are unwearable. I plan to give them to a charity I don't normally give to, and hopefully a less fortunate person with no sense of smell will like them. Terrible!

Review by M. D. Medlock:

Good: The shoes have a good tough, patent leather finish. Price is reasonable.

Bad: They have a strong rubber smell. They still smell after a month. The medium size is more like a size D or E. They are big.

These shoes were very comfortable and great for dancing. The European design added to accent my tuxedo.

Review by D. Jennings:

I have six pairs of Dansko clogs, full back and backless, oiled, patent and nubuck leather. I absolutely love them, there's nothing more comfortable (which is why they are popular among nurses and other professionals who are on their feet all day). HOWEVER....Dansko provides their merchants with a size chart which is NOT ACCURATE for women's sizes. I am usually a women's size 11, which according to their chart would be a size 41. Not so. I take a 43 in these shoes. And if you look at their size charts where they list men's AND women's sizes, you'll see how impossible the numbers are. Size 43 is listed as men's 9.5-10 or women's 12.5-13. No way these two could be equivalent. So do try on some Danskos BEFORE you order online, save yourself the bother of having to exchange them.

This shoe from Dansko ( now made in China ) was Not available . so I agreed to the Sanita ( original Dansko per seller & made in Europe ) which was in stock .

Out of the box , it looked exactly like the picture but the beauty ended there .

I own over a dozen size 10s but Not any Danskos and do have a rule Never to buy a brand by mail or internet that I do not already own or have tried on . I broke this rule to buy this shoe and Re-learned a very pricy lesson . ( + for return shipping and restocking fees ) Although they list as a 9.5 - 10 , which indicates a 9.5 could wear a sock and the 10 would be barefoot or a nylon , this shoe can Not be worn by a 10 . I was barely able to get my foot in and there was serious rubbing on the toes when I actually moved . There would have been blisters in no time . The 9.5 may be able to wear them barefoot but the stiff upper and hard plastic heel liner would still make it an ugly experience .

The possible use for this shoe is as a wet weather shoe with heavy socks but you will need to buy them 2 sizes larger .

1 week later I bought pair of Dr Scholls 9.5 that fit wonderfully and I wear for hours without any blister issues .

I did notice that the Euro sizing on his was 2 points higher than listed on the other 9.5 - 10 .

Maybe the Dansko / Sanita manufacturer has size conversion issues from Euro to US ?

Try this shoe on in the store BEFORE you buy .

Review by M. French:

I have worn a pair of Red patent leather Dansko Marcelle for three years. I have loved them so much that I really did build a part of my wardrobe around them. I also have about 10 pairs of Danskos in my closet. Before I bought my first pair in 2000, I had been plagued with leg problems my whole life (flat feet, shin splints, plantar fasciitis) and was thrilled to find shoes that I could walk in (not to mention add a little height).

I was so excited when the black patent ones were introduced.

However, the last has changed on this shoe and it is at least a quarter of an inch shorter than my originals. Just enough to make them too small. I was very disappointed. One size larger is just a bit too big.

What happened to JUST RIGHT?

Review by Anuja Sharma:

Dansko shoes are comfortable anyway and these are no exception. Their looks are outstanding and strangers in hallways stop me to complement me on these clogs!

My favorite pair of shoes.
