The word Dansko, genuinely, means Danish Shoe. The initial design was a completely unique Danish clog, which founders Peter Kjellerup and Many Cabot found in a miniscule Danish shop in the latter 1980’s. Being professional pony folks, they liked the shoes and thought they’d be good for wearing in the barns. They brought them home and tried them out for several years, finding out they were durable, comfortable, and good-looking, too. After a while, they were such believers they never wore any other kind of shoes- so they acquired exclusive rights to the products and formed Dansko, Inc. In 1991. Today, the word has spread around the country about the snug, great-looking shoes that the company makes, and they are sold in 3500 different locations.

The founders assumed that the shoes should be most importantly, comfortable. They also spotted that people want fab looking shoes, and they’ve set out to design a product that gives consumers the very best of both worlds. The designs are innovative, but stay true to the corporation’s core comfort philosophy.

The company is also a believer in giving back to the community, to the extent that they pay their employees to go out and volunteer locally. They also take up many great causes and work unceasingly to help in funding them, and they also work doggedly to be good stewards of the earth. They lately opened a new, LEEDS licensed HQ building-a great investment in the green movement.

Dansko’s original style, called the Stapled clog, was designed with comfort and maximum support in mind. They include polyurethane outsoles that shield your lower extremities, as well as your back irrespective of how long you have got to stand or walk. They also have antimicrobial linings to wick away moisture, and great quality leather uppers.

Because so many of Dansko’s buyers rely on their shoes for work wear, they make their entire line of white box Stapled Clogs with Permair Protector leather. This leather is breathable, water resistant, and durable with a simple wear, wipe-clean finish. Actually it regularly meets the legal requirements for safety footwear. The outsoles are very much slip-resistant, even in environments filled with oils and animal fats. Doctors, nurses, chefs, and teachers all rave about these shoes. They’re also impervious to salt and a good range of petrochemicals, urine and blood, viral and blood borne pathogens.

The patent protected outsole construction mixes several materials that give the shoes superb shock absorbency, stability and support, slip resistance, and protection for feet, legs and back from fatigue and injury. They have got a contoured arch support and rocker bottom soles. The heels are raised a touch to ease leg and back muscles so that walking and standing for long periods is cosy. A high toe box and adequate room in the forefoot give you comfort and permit your blood to circulate.

All the uppers are comfortable, with top of the range leather and sundry colors, while also mimicking the natural foot contours. Dansko Shoes come in a wide variety of styles to suit any taste and any purpose, while also being cosy enough to wear for long periods of time. For great bargains, try the Dansko Outlet, where you can pick up a great quality pair of shoes for a small fraction of the regular price .
