"I have arthritis in my feet and have trouble finding shoes I can wear. I put these on when they arrived and they are really comfortable. I am more than happy with these. Thank you so much"

Selecting the perfect shoe size may sometimes seem to be confusing; this can be due to the many conversions between women's and men's sizes or understanding different measurement systems such as European shoe size. Many people search online prior to making a purchase because many different regions have different systems for defining their shoe sizes.
For the purpose of this guide, we will clarify the conversion from size 9 to all other size conversions, as it happens to be one of the most commonly searched for shoe sizes on the internet, so all of the conversion formulas above would also apply to other shoe sizes as well. Therefore, once you understand how each formula/conversion works, you can then apply them to any shoe size with confidence.
Dakota gets better with age, which isn't something you can say about most shoes. It's made from breathable oiled leather that softens and molds to your foot the more you wear it, so each pair genuinely becomes yours over time. Underneath, a supportive cork footbed does the real work, shaping itself to your foot for a fit that improves rather than breaks down. A raised toe bar lets your foot move naturally instead of getting locked into a rigid shape, and moisture-wicking dual-layer jute keeps things fresh through long days. The built-in arch, soft suede lining, and deep heel cup work together on alignment and stability, so you're not fighting your own footwear by hour six. A flexible EVA outsole rounds it out with lightweight cushioning built for actual movement, not just standing around. Dakota also carries APMA approval, so the support claims are backed by more than good marketing. Stick to your regular size for these. Half size or wide foot? Round up, not down (a 7.5 becomes an 8). Medium width fit. The Size Chart has the specifics if you want to be certain before you buy.

"I have arthritis in my feet and have trouble finding shoes I can wear. I put these on when they arrived and they are really comfortable. I am more than happy with these. Thank you so much"
"These shoes are clearly very well-made and super stylish. I used the sizing guide to pick 10-10. 5 (I’m usually 10. 5 in most sizes) and they definitely run big and my foot moves around a lot in them. Also, the bottoms look like they should have some grip, but I find myself slipping even on my kitchen floor. I wish there was more support for my archer still feels like it’s collapsing a little bit."
"Love them!"
"I received them as a gift and they are too big. How can I exchange them?"
"Cute style. However, they feel like cardboard. Not comfotable at all. Wish I could return them , however I threw out the original box."
"I love these sandals. Truly they help relieve my back pain. Thank you"
"Shoes are great. I just wear a size 7. 5-8. 0 and the only size I could get was a 7. 0-7. 5 or 8. 0-8. 5. the 8. 0-8. 5 is a little big. Should have a 7. 5-8. 0 sizing."
"I was trying to descide between the suede ones vs the traditional leather and ended up getting these. so happy with them! I would size down if your feet are really narrow. these have a normalish to wide fit, perfect for me."
"Bought a pair for my sister and she literally hasn’t taken them off since. She says the comfort is unreal and perfect for winter days."
