The buckle, the perfs, the shiny red patent. Dansko has made peace between the two camps of comfort and style with the addition of the Sissy sandal. I'm gaga for this sandal but with all the shoes in my closet, it would be superfluous to add another pair. Or would it?
The author behind ByHillary.com has graciously allowed me to post her photo, but I highly suggest clicking over to her blog if you're looking for some eclectic, fresh wardrobe inspiration. Hillary is a librarian with gorgeous red locks (and Besame red lips), fab clothing and some mighty fine shoes. Here's what she had to say about her Dankso Sissy sandals:
I instantly was smitten with the patent leather red pair and in my
mind red shoes are a neutral! I really loved the vintage cut of the
sandals and they, like all danskos I've owned, were comfy from the word
go. I find I can wear them with a dress or jeans and feel appropriate.
The Sissy is from Dansko's Sausalito collection of footwear with padded footbeds and lightweight soles. So if you think a traditional Dansko clog is too hard on your feet, try one from the Sausalito line, such as the Sela sandal, Sally mary jane, or the brand-new-for-fall Solstice and Solitaire.
A word on sizing ( feel free to comment below if YOU own a shoe from the Sausalito collection): I'm a 10 and ordered the 41 in the Sela which is listed to fit between 10.5-11--and it fits perfectly.
