High Level Critique of the Dansko Label Women's Boots - By: Trevor Price

Unlike their shoes, women's Dansko boots are actually fairly stylish - offering consumers the sleek lines and thinner soles they can't fight in Dansko's chunkier shoes. The company recently started selling boots, and most are knee-high, very fashionable and look great.

However, are they as comfortable as the Dansko brand name would suggest? Are they worth the cost? For the answers to these questions and more, keep reading.

Price of Dansko Boots

For a pair of women's Dansko boots, expect to pay a little more than you would for their shoes. The average retail price hovers between $150 and $250, depending which boot you buy and from what retailer. In comparison to other mid-range and higher-end boots, the prices are fairly reasonable.

Comfort Level of Dansko Boots

Dansko shoes are popular because they offer a lot of support, particularly for heavier women. The strange thing about Dansko boots is they're actually quite small. For slimmer women, they may provide a comfortable fit, but for those with average-to-large calves, they can be way too tight.

The basic problem is the calf portion of these boots are designed for women with slim calves, and the foot bed is significantly more narrow than the same foot bed found in Dansko shoes. So, if you're larger or have a wider foot, you may want to think twice about buying a pair of Dansko boots.

Brand Quality and Durability

Like their shoes, most Dansko boots are guaranteed by the manufacturer against any defects. Unfortunately, the company does not offer a lifetime guarantee and, instead, makes an ambiguous statement on their website about insuring the items with "a reasonable amount of time and wear."

Fortunately, the shoes are made well and most consumers experience few problems. Though most Dansko products can't be resoled, they generally last for a long time.

Dansko Fashion and Style

When it comes to style, Dansko has certainly redefined itself with this new line of boot. The company known for heavy, clunky, Minnie Mouse clogs has come out with a surprisingly fashion-forward, light and delicate boot that's actually comfortable.

Most Dansko boots come with a small kitten heel that's actually a flat heel. Basically, it gives the appearance of height and a small heel, but the foot bed is in reality flat - meaning you get the height without the discomfort.

Conclusion

Women's Dansko boots are a great choice, but only if they fit you right. This is definitely a "try before you buy" situation. If you don't have slim calves or narrow feet, you probably don't want to buy this boot online or sight unseen.
