These shoes do not have the cushion to them that the Dansko has, but, they don't have the high strap that it seems all low-heeled Dansko sandals have, which is too tight if you ankles swell.  Adults in their 20's find these shoes hideous, but for me being old, I don't care about that.  They are leather and have a rubber sole and are well made.  This is my 2nd summer wearing them. They would probably be ok for the average person, but with having pustular psoriasis on the bottoms of my feet, I find that my feet are placed on grooves that are uneven, and the material just isn't comfortable for me.  If you don't have this condition, you'd probably like them.
