text: When I wore them the first day i could only wear them for a 2 hours, my feet were very achy. I guess that's too be expected for the breaking in period. I decided to give them another go, as my expectation of Dansko shoes was that they had unparalleled comfort for working all day on your feet (I'm a school teacher). the second day was much better I made it the entire school day with minimal soreness at the end of the day. They are super cute shoes and will go wonderfully with a skirt, dress or slacks. heel was a little higher than expected.  really like them overall though.
