Long-time favorite - This has been my favorite summer shoe for many years. My old pair was getting quite worn looking, so I was excited to get a new pair. The black leather looks nice enough to wear with semi-dressy outfits in the summer. It is SO comfortable — you can walk miles in airports, etc. in total comfort. If you like Dansko clogs in the winter, this is the summer option you have been looking for.
A Pleasure to Wear - I have very wide feet and it is hard to find shoes and sandals. I have worn the Dansko Professional for years but never tried the sandals…I wish I had not waited so long!
I love this shoe. The looks and the arch support are wonderful. I normally wear 42’s in Dansko shoes and at first I thought they were to small. But after wearing them for a few hours they broke in just fine. They go great with my favorite slacks, and I love to wear them when I know I’ll be doing a lot of walking or standing. Like my Dansko clogs they are my new slippers. I recommend them highly!
I love my new sandals!! I discovered the joys of Dansko last winter and will never wear any others. I was so relieved to find a sandal with the same bottom as my professional clogs. They are terrific. I an also very impressed with the great customer service at Zappos. Many thanks.
LOVE it! Zappos bumped up delivery from standard to two-day for free: excellent customer service! They felt like heaven from the first walk-around the apartment and I think I’m a Dansko customer for life now. I’ve worn them literally every day since I received them - about 2 1/2 weeks ago. They’re starting to stretch out a little bit but not uncomfortably so: the size is exactly what I’d hoped for and all the support is where I need it for my skinny high-arched feet. Fantastic shoe!
Love my Dansko’s - I am a nursing supervisor and am on my feet sixteen hours at a time. I have several pairs of Dansko’s and just purchased the black Monika sandals. They are very comfortable but I had to purchase this Dansko model in 40 although I usually wear a 39 . I am very pleased with the service from Zappo’s and will definitely order again in the near future.
I like this shoe very much, but it fits differently than the other Danskos I’ve had. If you wear a half-size, definitely get the next size up. I wear a 7.5, and the 38 was a perfect fit. The shoes hit my pinky toes at a weird spot - they kind of bump up against one of the leather strips. They look fantastic (I got the black on black), and I walk all over the city in them. I hope they last like Danskos are known to last (I’ve had the shoes for not quite a month)
I normally take a 39 in Dansko clogs, but I had to send them back and order a 40. I’m wearing them around the house and so far, they seem to have the arch support I used to get from my (now worn-out) clogs.
I’m so disappointed! Having long narrow feet, I read several reviews suggesting this shoe fit narrower than other Dansko. I had Lolita to compare it to. Sorry to say that for my AA feet, this shoe was very wide and the 43 in the Monika was actually shorter than the 42 in the Lolita. Definitely a comfortable shoe but too wide and too short for my feet. Nena Boots
I love the comfort! The Monika has additional padding in the arch area, which is a characteristic that I need and very few shoes have. These, and the Syd clog, are even more comfortable than my tennis shoe with my personally made orthotics.
Great all-around sandal! Now that I have these, I understand why they’re a classic - what a great sandal! I have the tangerine, which manages somehow to work almost as a neutral color and is just plain fun. These are comfortable and easy to wear right out of the box and look good with almost any casual outfit. I hope Dansko makes the Monika forever, since I can see I’ll always want to have a pair of these.
This is my first time to purchase Dansko shoes. I am very satisfied with these sandals. I was a little put off by the price at first, but it is true that you get what you pay for. These shoes are high quality, they fit good, look good, and they are very comfortable.
Just what the Dr. ordered - I’m sold. I’ve found this Dansko shoe to be well worth the money, and I didn’t want to believe it. My Rheumatologist called for better shoes, tho I was shopping carefully. Broke down and spent the money, and WOW, they really are different! Other shoes look similar in construction from the outside, but when I started using these, ankle, arch, foot, knee and hip pain is nearly gone! Unbelievable. They are wide for me, but still excellent arch and shock absorption.
