Dansko shoes
Imagine owning a pair of shoes that are as comfortable as they are versatile. Dansko shoes, clogs, boots and sandals just happen to be beautiful, too. Dansko was established 17 years ago by a couple who are horse enthusiasts. On a horse-buying trip to Denmark, they saw an unusual pair of closed-back clogs and brought them back to their riding facility. Their students and associates were so enamored with them that the couple returned with suitcases full of clogs on subsequent trips to Denmark. As that became rather cumbersome, and after selling out their inventory from the back of their Volvo, they decided to start their own shoe-making business instead. They started with one employee and she still works for them, along with 129 others.

Dansko, which translated means Danish shoes, is popular with chefs, servers, medical professionals (the American Podiatric Medical Association has awarded their seal of acceptance to Dansko shoes), flight attendants and anyone else, especially mothers, who are on their feet all day. Dansko is known for having the best nursing shoes on the market. The secret to the comfort of Dansko footwear is a contoured foot bed that distributes your weight across the foot, and details such as goring and adjustable ankle straps help to mold the shoe to your foot. |

Danskos, a wise choice for the medical professional, are either open or closed at the back. Perhaps you prefer shoes and heels of Mary Janes, pumps, mules, and others that can go from the office straight to dinner and drinks. Cool off with summer sandals that range from flats to 2-3/8″ heels and wedges. The wide assortment of leathers include oil, waxy, pull-up (most suitable for work environments), patent, crinkled patent, nubuck, nappa or burnished veg. Choose from a color palette that includes pomegranate and toffee chestnut, as well as stylish details like hand-stitching, rings, cut-outs and criss-cross designs.
Dansko’s helpful website has a tab called “Tech Features” that demonstrates how well the shoe is constructed by showing the shoe’s components, the materials used, and the benefits and features of each. You can also view the pictures of the side, top, sole and back of each shoe design you click.The site also offers a store locator of retailers and e-tailers. You can even shop online at their Dansko outlet, where most shoes have only cosmetic flaws. If you’re used to EU sizing, they have that too, as well as information on returns and exchanges, FAQs, a help link and a link to check your shipping status.
When you wear a pair of their shoes, you’ll not only be supporting the environment, you’ll be supporting Dansko’s community efforts as well. Interested in sustainable living, they want to leave the earth a better place, so Dansko shoes is headquartered in a LEED-certified green building that has a living wall of plant life outside the lobby. And from the Dansko Foundation that was established in 2002 - to offering their employees paid time off to go out into the community and volunteer – the disadvantaged have benefited, all because of a pair of clogs found in Denmark 17 years ago.
