Dansko is one of the few brands of footwear that I can tolerate.  Everything seems good about these shoes - the arch, the quality workmanship, the look, the sizing - except!  Except for the fact that on the left shoe the elongated piece of leather that contains the holes for laces presses against a toe in an uncomfortable way - because the leather is doubled in that area.  I've loosened the laces, which helped but hasn't eliminated the problem.  I'm hoping as the shoes conform to my feet and stretch out a bit, this will resolve to a non-problem.  Keep this in mind if you have sensitive toe issues.  Otherwise, this is a very nice shoe.
