The inevitable search for women’s shoes in their myriad styles poses a challenge for all who love to quickly locate and subsequently purchase their preferences.

There are so many appealing footwear options on the market that the search could literally take weeks. However, Dansko has begun to offer a relatively new line of boots that have drawn positive reviews.

Women’s Dansko boots are the hottest new offering from the popular manufacturer of comfortable, Danish clogs. Most of the models in this new line are knee-high and infinitely more stylish than the company’s trademark “clunky” look.

But, do these boots hold up? Are they as comfortable as the brand’s infamous shoes? Are they worth the money? For a high level review of Dansko’s boots, keep reading.

Dansko Boots – Price Points

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

Unlike Dansko shoes, most of the boots by Dansko just aren’t designed for wider feet or calves. The style is very snug, making most of their boots a great fit for women with narrow feet, but a too-tight nightmare for others.

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.

Design and Style

The boots are where Dansko really shines for style. The company’s trademark shoes are clunky and chunky, a major turn-off for many shoe buyers. However, with their line of boots, the company has really stepped up – the lines are sleek, modern and even chic – a major detour for a shoe company known for its clogs.

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.

The Final Thought on Dansko Boots

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.
