Dansko - Mariel (Black) - Women's: Your heel should lift up and down with every step, so if you are a half-size you may be more comfortable sizing up (for example, if you are a US 7.5, you may be more comfortable in an EU size 38). Mary-jane inspired shoe with high quality leather upper that follows the natural contours of the foot. Also called "brush-off leather," Cabrio offers a dressier look. Breathable, nonallergenic vegetable tanned leather sockliner absorbs odor and wicks away moisture. Removable footbed is made of a dual-density Latex-rubber compound. The High-density material follows the foot's anatomical contours, supports the foot from heel to toe and offers optimal energy return and rebound. This material is also infused with a highly antimicrobial agent protecting against fungus and bacteria. The Low-density material provides shock attenuation under the heel and ball of the foot. Accommodates custom orthotics. Mid-density polyurethane outsole with EVA insert provides shock absorption, flexibility and rebound. EVA reduces weight and enhances energy return. The Rocker bottom sole has great anti-skid properties and propels the foot forward when walking. Dansko's Golden Gate Collection proudly carries the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.
