Comfortable fit.
This is the boot for you if other Dansko boots are tight at the ankle or toe box. These are fabulous. I have Reynauds Syndrome and my toes get injured in the cold. These boots provide ample room and are incredibly comfortable. Thank you to Danko for making a bootie that is similar to your clogs, but warmer for the winter.

just a tad too big
These are absolutely adorable! They have the classic rocker style, and the arch support is fabulous! Super easy to pull on, no problem whatsoever, and no shoe horn needed! They are terrific Dansko quality, beautiful and made like they will last for a very long time! Usual Dansko bootie! I bought these and the Becca booties to see which ones I liked better. Love them both, pretty much identical boots. Sending these back because they are $50 more than the Becca's, and are very much alike. These did run just a bit too big. I am always a size 7.5-8 in all my Dansko's, but these are a little too big. My heel kept slipping up and down when I walked. Other than that they are a great buy for anyone! Both gorgeous boots that I know will last a very long time! Highly recommend, just have to play around with the sizing. I did have a sock on when I tried these, but still slipped a bit. Definitely worth the $$$$$!

Great boots! Well worth the money.
These are so stylish and comfortable. If you've never worn clogs before they can seem a little heavy and hard at first but the longer you wear them you come to love. Long time footwear. Great arch/ankle support.

Beware anyone with high insteps!
I’ve had my eye on these boots for ages, and finally decided to treat myself for Christmas. I was surprised by how tight they were due to my high insteps, so breaking them in has been a very slow and uncomfortable process. For several weeks I have worn them indoors only, then for short walks outdoors. They’re still rather snug fitting, but now loose enough to wear out & about for short periods of time. My only other complaint is that the loop on the back is too small to fit even my little finger in, which makes the loops pointless in helping to pull them on.I’m hoping that they will continue to loosen up and become more comfortable with time. I just wanted to leave a review because although I don’t have wide feet, my high insteps made me seriously consider returning these cute, well constructed Chelsea boots despite how much I like them!

Way more volume than other Danskos: not supportive
I have loved the Dansko clogs I've had: I wear them around the house, standing to teach all day, on short (up to 2 mile) walks. They're the ONLY shoe that doesn't make my feet tired in an 8-hour day standing in a classroom/doing pickup duty, etc. So I was excited to see the same base with the boot top.But I think buying Danskos is a little like having a baby: it's expensive and you don't know exactly what you'll get with each one. I've currently have 2 other pairs of Dansko clogs, and I always wear a 40 (narrow). One of these current pairs is pretty snug on the top of my foot: I have to wear my thinnest socks and "warm them up" each time I put them on. I've had them stretched. The other pair is comfy-loose, and they fit well like a foot-hug when I wear medium-weight hiking socks. Both are stable, not "floppy," and have that classic "one finger behind the heel" fit.I ordered these Frankie boots because reviewers generally said they were a supportive fit, a "narrower" fit, and people could walk a long way in them. I was a little worried that they would cut into my ankles as they did for some people. They didn't--it was a miracle (they fully covered my anklebones--I included the collar (cuff?) height measurements at the end if that's useful for anyone!). But the right-side boot in particular felt HUGE in volume compared to either of the Dansko clogs I have: the length is correct, but there is so much room above the foot and around the opening that it's a sloppy, uncomfortable feel. In trying them out up and down my hall, I switched to my thickest socks, but my toes slipped up with each stride so after a few times trying them out, I could feel the strain in my arches. I put my old Danskos on for comparison, and those felt solid and comfy again. Danskos are supposed to have up-and-down movement in the heel of course, but not floppiness/slipping top to bottom. They should feel secure around the mid-foot.I finally put a little-kid knit glove on top of my foot and slid it back in the shoe: this made the boot feel way more secure like it's probably supposed to fit. I guess I could fiddle around with foam inserts/Moleskin to adhere to the top of the boot to try to make this secure fit more permanent, but the top of the shoe has this nice swoop shape and who knows if I could find something that would fit smoothly. If I had maybe (?) been able to try these on in person and get several Frankie boots side-by-side, I could have switched them up to try multiple individual size 40s (that's what I usually have to do to get consistency at a shoe store in Danskos). There is such variability in individual Dansko shoes that I have to return these. I guess I'll be sticking to only buying them in person whenever casual shopping feels safe again!For people who are interested in the bootie's top HEIGHT, though (to see if it will hit under, at, or above your ankle bone), I couldn't find measurements for this anywhere, so here you go:From bottom of shoe (inside, where your foot rests) ) to the top of the leather at that little tab to the rear of your ankle: 3 3/16 inches; for comparison, my (low) ankle bone bottom is at 2 1/4 inches and these didn't hurt my ankles because they were totally covered. There IS an interior seam running down from on either side of the elastic on the sides that might also rub your ankle inside the boot, but this didn't bother me.

Great support!
I’ve been a Dansko customer for years and was always hesitant to buy these- I finally did and I couldn’t be happier!! These are so comfortable, incredible arch support (I have a very high arch). I ordered my regular Dansko size and they are great. I like the ankle stability compared to the regular clog. Highly recommend.
