Great shoe, great color!
I plan to wear these as a dressier shoe to work. New shoes - little stiff but not uncomfortable. Unlike other posters said, this size 45 shoe fits my size 45 foot correctly. I hope to wear wool socks with them but not before they adjust from wearing. They feel really good. Correct width, the depth at the toe box is right. The support is great. I used to get plantar's fascitis but after wearing Dansko, no more pain any more. I really like the dark brown color - it's like in the pics.

Best Shoes I've Owned in Years
I walk and stand on my feet 5 out of 8 hr shift at work in a school with hard tile/concrete floors. Last week my one knee started hurting and although I know I have some arthritis in my joints, this was the first time it really bothered me. I researched and shopped for shoes that are good for concrete floors, and these seemed to have the highest reviews. I bought them, this is the third day I'm wearing them and my knee pain is just about completely gone. Was the pain on the way out any way? Don't know, but even without pain, these shoes are super comfortable for me. I take a wide 10 size in shoes, but when you buy these they are labled in metric system. There is a conversion chart so you know what size to buy. With me it was a 44 size. I had my doubts whether they would fit ok, but they were perfect for my feet. They are a wide shoe any way so no problem. I highly recommend them if you have to work on hard floors all day.

Great shoe, laces are junk, Euro-sizes aren't helpful at all.
Very sturdy and great walking shoe. So far so good. I had high hopes for this but.....But - BOTH laces separated from the core string on first-use. Really? For this kind of money one would think they would use a decent lace that didn't fall apart that quickly. So, I'm taking off one star for this because it's just hard to fathom the lack of attention to detail (or caring enough to use a quality lace). The inconvenience to me is rather high - now I have to order completely new laces from "somewhere" at a high price. For some reason I can't contact the company via Amazon site to ask just for new laces and, i'm not returning the whole shoe and waiting another month for shoes to wear.This "Euro sizing" doesn't work either. So, another star. I'm a size 13 in one foot, and, 12 in the other. The only options are "12.5 to 13.0" or a clown shoe size above that at 13.5-14.0 . So, the right foot is suspiciously not quite right feeling, which is sad. Don't know, over time, if this will be an issue.

Quality shoe but....
these are very clunky looking compared to other casual shoe brands. If you have foot problems though, Dansko shoes are great.

Stiff at first, then becomes the best shoes ever!
I've worn several brands of shoes over the years. I spend approximately 8-12 hours a day on my feet, varying from not stop walking to standing in front of a classroom for 4 hours at a time. I have borderline wide feet, I usually wear 9.5 E or (more commonly) 10 D shoe. The last two "best" shoes I have worn in the past is Red Wing, but the stores stop carrying the shoes I usually wear. I liked them considering that they usually lasted me about 3-4 years until the sole wore out. I was ready for something new.I ordered the Dansko Wyatt Oxfords size 43. When I first put them on, they seemed a little big, but figured I would still give them a try. I've heard with their clog style shoe that the increased space is part of their design. Initially the shoes are on the stiff side, but after about a week of wearing, they have started to loosen up. Whenever I get a new pair of dress/work shoes, the first thing I usually do is change out the insole for one that is more supportive. I've yet to change out the insole in my Dansko shoe. I have not had any pain or discomfort that I usually feel with shoes that have little to no arch support. The Dansko shoe does have some support built into it that is more natural, so currently no additional support is needed! I've walked a variety of surfaces including concrete, tile (wet and dry), snow, ice, etc. So far, traction has been wonderful.I've only had the shoes for a short time, but so far they have been wonderful. It does take some time to adjust to the new style of shoe (bigger, roomier, etc). Unless I'm running down the hall, I haven't noticed any slipping and sliding within the shoe. With the prolonged standing, I have not experienced the leg and back fatigue that I usually experience with poorly constructed shoes. I'm looking forward to many great years with these shoes. It's worth the extra few bucks for quality. I'll post any updates as needed.

Moscow
I bought these shoes especially for a trip to Moscow where I would be subjected to lots of walking, standing and being constantly on the go. They held up (and are still holding up) beautifully. Russians are somewhat conservative when it comes to dressing in public. Sloppy, dirty, and worn shoes you just don't see! People tend to dress well even on the Metro. These Danskos fit right in. Even at the Kremlin and the Ballet they were sufficiently dressy, yet super durable. The comfort was unbelievably good. On bad weather days my feet stayed well supported, dry and happy. My wife is a complete Dansko fanatic and she convinced me to try a pair. Glad I did. They're a little heavy to pack, but don't worry: some running shoes for exercise and these Wyatts are all you'll need.

sturdy as a tank
These shoes are tremendous for people who like support. They have excellent support, and their poly urethane sole is firm and yet quite comfortable. They are the opposite of spongy type comfort bottoms. Your legs feel invigorated. I used to be a shoe manufacturer, and am more aware than most about lasts, counter pockets, lining materials and such. The product is manufactured in China, and they are made to exacting standards. The workmanship is outstanding. some may find them to firm, but if you like firm, they are for you. I would recommend them to anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.
