This is another wonderful example of Dansko quality you rarely find in shoes today. They are handmade shoes from the old country and come with their own unique style and charm. In the last 3 or 4 years I have been buying Danskos and now have clogs, sandals, and dress shoes, I have never bought a pair of Danskos I didn't like. These shoes are built to last. My first pair still look almost new. Their solid platform with a built in arch support keeps my feet from hurting. I can wear them all day long, walk the town, clean house, you name it. The Marcelle has the same shoe bed as the standard Dansko clog. The only thing I want to mention, is that when I was ordering my shoe, I had heard the Marcelle tends to be a little larger in shoe size than the other Danskos shoes. When my Marcelle's arrived, I found this to be true, and would say it is about 1 whole size larger. This was not a problem for me, as I am between shoe sizes anyway, but this is something other customers should be aware of when ordering them. I love the standard wide toe box, which is a necessity for me due to arthritic feet. Even with all my lumps and bumps it is very comfortable. As for the style of this shoe, it is just great. I love the strap, even though I confess, it had been a concerned to me before trying them on. I couldn't imagine having to undo and fasten the straps each time I would put these shoes on, but Dansko surprised me. They have situated the strap so that the foot slips in and out of the shoe with ease, no buckling necessary. Genius! I love that I can wear these both casual with jeans or dressed up with a skirt. Now I am wondering why I waited so long to add them to my wardrobe.
